Like We Didnt Already Know

So this weekend Mitchel Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's father decided to go public and let the world in on his daughters battle with emphysema. Now all things considering that she is 24 {I know girls that have chain smoked for years and emphy-free} and currently battling something that's normally contracted by elderly people at 85 should be a wake up call to the world on the dangers of drug abuse, in addition to smoking.

Mitch told the Daily Mail, that "she's covered in nicotine patches from head to toe... The only thing that can go into her lungs are fresh air. She faces a stark choice - either she sticks to it or she won't sing again."

The 50's inspired bouffant that inspired everyone from Cavalli to Lagerfeld {so much so until the Chanel Fall 2008 campaign looks like Winehouse did the hairstyles herself} is currently undergoing treatment outside of London. My question to my readers are: Do you think she will kick her habit this time or not?

Musically Obsessed: The Ting Tings

I have a confession... I am a musichead. In fact majority of my friends have disowned me on numerous occasions due to my sporadic choices in music. But thats ok, I still love them anyway. My latest guilty pleasure starts with the latest Apple commercial featuring a woman singing over an electric funk beat. I've been known to bounce around and scream like a two year old whenever that commercial comes on. The tune is extremely catchy and by the time you walk away from the TV you'll be singing the song for the rest of the day. Plus, you get the cool after affect of quoting it to break up with someone {well if you listen to the lyrics}.

Well that wonderful commercial is featuring The Ting Tings and their hit song "Shut Up and Let Me Go." Shut up and let me go/ this hurts I tell you so/ for the last time you will kiss my lips/ now shut up and let me go/ your jeans were once so clean/ I bet you changed your wardrobe since we've met/ Now oh so easily you're over me/ gone is love/ its you that ought to be holding me/ im not containable/ this turns up/ its not sustainable I have to admit, if you happen to break up with anyone, listen to this song afterwards, its the most fun you'll have. And another fun time you will have is at one of their live concerts. Go check out the Ting Tings on myspace and listen to other songs that have been released.
