Special delivery to Amy Wino’s house
As you know, British singer Amy Winehouse, 24, was rushed to a London hospital on Monday after she passed out from what was thought to be alcohol poisoning. Now Amy’s dad tells MTV that his daughter’s drink was spiked with ecstasy. Her dad has vowed to find the culprit who did this to his daughter Amy.
Paparazzi who depend on Amy to keep food on their table, snapped pics of a medical courier delivering supplies to Amy’s home today. The box is marked ‘URGENT BLOOD’, but it is highly unlikely that Amy is receiving blood transfusions at home.
It’s more likely that Amy’s drug rehab doctor (or a judge) has ordered regular drug testing on Amy in an effort to save her from herself. I’m speculating here, but the courier is probably at the house to pick up blood samples or urine and ferry them to a lab for testing.

Fish pedicures could lead to bacterial infection
Fish pedicures may seem like a cute idea in a culture where everyone is on the lookout for the next fad or trend. But this newest fad could be dangerous for your health. I would advise against this procedure because it could lead to nasty fungal infections or worse.
MRSA and other germs thrive in warm, wet environments. You don’t need fish to eat scales off your feet. A foot file or $10 PedEgg after you shower will do the trick. This guy is simply using a gimmick to make a fast buck.
Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far.“This is a good treatment for everyone who likes to have nice feet,” Ho said.
He said he wanted to come up with something unique while finding a replacement for pedicures that use razors to scrape off dead skin. The razors have fallen out of favor with state regulators because of concerns about whether they’re sanitary.

Photos of the Day: 7/30
Chris Brown and Ne-Yo were commissioned by Wrigleys company to remake their famous Wrigleys gum jingles. We now know that CB’s hit song “Forever” is a cleverly disguised jingle. The song – which is very wack, by the way — sits at #3 on the Billboard charts. Which goes to show you can’t always account for good taste. “Double your pleasure/double your fun,” the R&B singer croons in the chorus. Did I mention the song is very lame?
Chris Brown makes Ne-Yo look like a dwarf. Ne-Yo’s my dude though. I love his sense of style.
Kim Kardashian is feeling herself while shopping in Sherman Oaks last week. KK once complained to a friend how frequently she checks to make sure her appliances are inflated properly. I can just imagine how annoying that can be.

Morning Wood: LL Cool J By Request
Todd Smith needs no introduction. Anyone who was born after 1950 knows how sexy this man is. LL Cool J gave birth to rap and has a generation of rappers calling him daddy at age 40. Ask the rapper Nelly, who patterned his entire career after Mr. I Need Love.

Michelle Obama Tops Vanity Fair 2008 Best Dressed List
Michelle Obama – the brains behind the Barack Obama campaign machine — is always impeccably dressed and elegantly appointed when she steps out. So it is no surprise that she tops Vanity Fair‘s 2008 Best Dressed list – a major achievement for a non-celebrity. VF even referred to Michelle as “our commander-in-sheath.” That means they’re really smitten with her.
But get this: rapper Knaye West also made the Best Dressed list on the male side (!) How did he make anyone’s best dressed list, I ask? Were the judges drunk when they made their selections? Vanity Fair might as well name Pharrell Williams and T.I. to the best dressed list if Knaye made the list.
Cheapskate Andre 3000 Stiffs Waiter
Some people think they’re entitled just because they are celebrities. Dre 3K always has a pompous attitude, so I’m not surprised to read the following story about A3K gypping a hard working waiter out of a tip. I’m sure A3K knows that most waiters work for tips only – which is probably why he didn’t leave one. Maybe A3K felt the service wasn’t worthy of a tip. So why write “thanks!” at the top of the receipt?
Atlanta waiter Matt Moore claims that he went out of his way to hook Andre up with some vegan dishes after the rapper visited the restaurant he works in — even though it is non-vegan. Apparently, that effort wasn’t enough and Andre decided to complain anyways — getting his bill reduced in the process. At the end of the meal, the low-baller left a $0 tip and walked away. Classy.What’s a guy to do? eBay! Moore was understandably pissed and threw his story up on the auction site, along with a description of the injustice and the offending receipt. “The chef had tried to please them with original dishes and took time out of the busy dinner to customize a meal for them,” he wrote. “Despite the spot-on service and super-catered food, they felt the need to leave me no money. I had nothing to do with the food, yet he stiffed me.”
Looks like Matt made his tip back. The auction for the receipt ended yesterday with bidding topping out at $14.50.
Ha Ha! $14.50 for an authentic A3K autograph. That’s $14.49 more than I would have paid for it!
