UK’s Holy Moly is reporting that British singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested. The 24-year old ‘Rehab’ singer was arrested while on tour in Bergen, Norway. She just got back to work and she’s gotten into trouble already.

Amy is said to have been arrested for drug possession, domestic violence or even both. And here I thought she worked her way to getting clean. I guess it was just a dream.

The singer was supposed to play a gig at Peer Gynt in Bergen on Friday, but it obviously didn’t happen. If it’s not Amy herself canceling, it’s the circumstance.

If this is what comes from resting up, Amy Winehouse may have been better off remaining on the road. Just three days after calling off her U.S. tour and vowing to return to a countryside “retreat” to deal with her ongoing “health issues,” the “Rehab” chanteuse was photographed in London Thursday with bloody scrapes and cut marks all over her face and body. Holy cr**. This is weird and sick. Very very sick! Cutting is a sign of a horrific mental illness than goes far beyond substance abuse. Although someone who has a mental illness unrelated to substance abuse may attempt to use drugs and alcohol to mask it. See Britney Spears. She needs to be checked for manic depression, bipolar disorder, or some other chemical imbalance of the brain. This what too much of success does to people, it’s like a horrific virus once it hits you, you are finished and slowly all of these maniacs get lost in world that’s eating them up on their own will. Until yes you fight back that eject that virus out and that’s exactly what Amy should be aiming to do.

A rep for singer Amy Winehouse has announced that the plug is being pulled on the remaining August concert dates. She was hospitalized for extreme exhaustion last week and since then there have been rehab rumours surrounding her. Her spokesperson Tracey Miller said that she is taking the necessary time to deal with her health issues. From there they requested that Amy’s privacy be respected. There were no further comments. Her and her husband reportedly checked in and out of a rehab retreat. He said they just went home to get a guitar. It’s obvious that everyone has their vices though we may not all share the same ones. If she’s entering rehab of any kind then it’s clearly more than exhaustion. It leads me to recall all of the college and university students popping speed so they can study and work two jobs to get by. I wouldn’t be surprised it some stars are doing it too and it’s only going to lead to one of two things. Death or burnout.

Alert the masses and the media. Amy Winehouse actually showed up for a show. The ‘too drunk to perform most of the time’ Brit made her scheduled appearance at the Virgin Festival in Baltimore on Saturday. More likely than not, she will make it to Chicago for her Sunday appearance for Lollapalooza.

She may have arrived five minutes late which got the crowd restless but it was smooth sailing right after she stepped up to the mic. She sounded clear and seemed sober. And her hubby was on stage the whole time filming her.

A show that was well worth it just because she actually did something right.
