Winehouse Blames Fame For Drug Problem

She also wants to play drums for the Srtic Monkeys...
Amy Winehouse's manager has spoken out about her problems with drug abuse and blames the troubled singer's indulgences on her inability to deal with fame. Winhouse's manager since 2006, Raye Cosbert, insists that "Amy is a public person" and is uncomfortable being a "VIP celebrity... She's not like your usual reclusive star. She likes playing pool with the bin men in her local. If she could take the Tube everywhere she would."
Cosbert also explained that Winehouse wishes that she could be the drummer in Arctic Monkeys, Matt Helders, as he can enjoy his band's success from the back of the stage. He added: "She feels deeply uncomfortable in the world of VIP celebrity. It's unfortunate that you can't teach somebody how to deal with fame."

Sure, point the blame at success. You can't deal with your own problems, and you want to party like a star, and when it gets tough, then you want to cry and bitch that it's the pressure from everyone else. What? Pressure of Fame made you put drugs up your nose? Please. There are tons of ways to deal with stress. She needs to grow up, or just disappear. Boohoo for her. You didnt think you'd become famous when you sang your heart out and wanted to be noticed? People like her, and Britney, and all the other little sob stories in Hollywood are pathetic. They have more money than the casual person like us, and use Drama just to keep there names in the paper. Its BS. And so are they. Take your money and invest it, help others, instead of blowing it on utter crap and then passing the blame around when things fall apart. Grow Up.

I think we should be blaming drugs for her fame problem. God, enough already. We get it, you like drugs.

Yup, and it's the media's fault that Bush is an idiot.

Yeah, this has been hinted at in the previous comments, but I'm surprised her head didn't explode from the cognitive dissonance of someone who's only famous for being a drug addict blaming fame for making her a drug addict.

Cobain started this Bullshit about being"Unable to cope with fame". Now the bitch is taking it further.
Newsflash retards, if you can't cope up with it, stay in whatever shitpile you grew up in and DON'T do anything worthwhile. And stop posing for the Paparazzi knowing very well what they will do with your pics.
Fucking bitch.
/G'nR.

I think she should be blaming herself instead of blaming everyone else for her drug addictions. Fame didn't make her take drugs. She did that on her own, free will and all.

Funny, I blame the fame on the drugs.
