    The Troubled Life of Amy Winehouse

    Friends and family have been in the news recently urging British pop singer Amy Winehouse to quit using drugs, saying that she has a problem. What have the warning signs been?

    * Follow-up single to "Rehab" was "Big Fat Lid of Black Tar Heroin"

    * Beehive hairdo occasionally drops baggies, spoons, poppy plantations

    * Always in good mood or bad mood

    * Keith Richards seen leaving her flat looking defeated

    * Constantly screams "God, I love taking drugs!"

    * Before a show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, Winehouse refused to go on until the stage had been cleared of all the four-headed snakes and ghosts of her ancestors

    * Her music thus far is pretty cool
