Amy Winehouse hospitalized after "allergic reaction to medication"

Updated: November 17, 2009

Amy Winehouse and David Hassellhoff must be reading from the same manual of “how to spin it when you play that game of holding an open bottle of Patron with your teeth while your hands are tied up or when you pretend you’re a sniffer dog but instead you decide to snort the coke you used as a trail from your kitchen to your bedroom”. Because Amy was admitted to a London hospital on Sunday and the reason was of course, an allergic reaction to her medication (in case you were wondering why we haven’t posted pictures of her nipples hanging out for the past two days, they are confined to a hospital bed, but are sure to make a quick recovery and promise to be back on the streets scaring pedestrians in no time).

Winehouse, who was reportedly taking two types of medicine that reacted with each other, was advised by a doctor to visit The London Clinic after feeling ill. According to The Mirror, Amy was using the two different medicines to keep her clean from illegal substances following the singer’s well-known dug addiction. A source told the tabloid paper: “Amy took over-the-counter stuff for a cold but it didn’t agree with medication she takes for her on-going recovery.”

They added: “She felt rubbish when she woke on Sunday morning. A doctor came to her house and advised her to go to the hospital to make sure she was all right. She was due to stay the night.”
