Amy Winehouse Agrees To Rehab

Singer Amy Winehouse has finally given into pressure from those nearest her to enter a drug rehab program.

An Associated Press story quotes her record label's statement, "Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors...she has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction."

Winehouse has been in rehab before, last August. She was arrested for marijuana possession in Norway the following month.

Her decision comes on the heels of a video released by the UK's The Sun magazine, which appears to show her on a drug binge.

Winehouse Visits Outpatient Rehab in Wake of Video

British singer Amy Winehouse has been seen visiting an outpatient rehab clinic in London, in the wake of a highly-publicized video showing her apparent drug use.

According to the London Times, the singer stayed two hours at Edwards House yesterday. The clinic is an outpatient department of the Capio Nightingale hospital, which is known for its drug rehabilitation program.

Winehouse's rep, however, insisted: "Amy has not been admitted into rehab. She has regular appointments with a doctor at the Nightingale Hospital."

Amy Winehouse Video: Smoking Crack, Snorting Powder

A video surfaced today on thesun.co.uk showing what appears to be Amy Winehouse snorting cocaine and ecstasy and smoking crack from a glass pipe. In the video, Winehouse also reportedly says that she just took 6 Valium.

The video was apparently shot on Friday, early in the morning before she went to court to support her jailbird husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, at a bail hearing. Winehouse's behavior in the courthouse was erratic and the singer looked unhealthy and emaciated.

According to BBC News, Winehouse's record company reacted to the video by saying, ""We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems."
