You'll be writing about Winehouse tomorrow when a viral video of her snorting battery acid shows up on the internet. It's what "sells" the click throughs.

That album was good, what's the problem with covering career-related things only? I have a feeling that that comes close to a moratorium, anyway.

More vadges and crazy shopping sprees, less crawling on glass and wandering around the city at 5 AM covered in blood.

Meanwhile, Brit-Brit and Wino don't seem to even care anymore as they careen into the void...it's gone from tragicomic to just grotesque.

I'm for unplugging the circus. I don't think we'd really give a shit about her music in the first place if she wasn't enough of a clusterfuck to make it all appear "authentic" without a thought given to whether it transcends being a competent rehash.

Britney and Amy's periods of degradation are newer. They haven't established comfortably predictable patterns of misbehavior yet, so it's still shocking to us.

I actually don't see any need to change anything.

We don't expect you to post every time the paps snap Amy at the market at 2 AM or whatever, or every time Amy looks like she's looped out of her brains.

News about whether she'll make it to a particular awards show, or how many awards she's nominated for, should still be fair game, no?
