As you all know I’ve been dedicating my weekly Run Off to something different each week. This week upon careful consideration I chose none other that the world’s most famous crackhead Amy Winehouse (sorry Whitney, Amy is smoking it up at an international level). How can you not be intrigued by Amy? She took the U.S. and U.K. by storm with her soulful sound and shot to stardom with the best peice of foreshadowing ever, her song “Rehab”. Then she lost a bunch of weight. Next she was caught on video smoking crack. Most recently her skin started to fall off like she had Leprosy or something.

So anyway here’s a few links to Amy Winehouse stories as well as the usual batch of others from around the net.
