Update: Amy Winehouse May Have Tuberculosis


Amy Winehouse
remains in the hospital. Doctors previously discovered that the singer was suffering from an irregular heartbeat (something that often happens to crackheads), and now they fear she may be stricken with tuberculosis.

"Doctors are still struggling to control her heartbeat but the chest condition has been really worrying them," said a friend of Amy's.

"She'd been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined. Doctors are doing more tests to be certain."

Tuberculosis? What is this, the Victorian era?

Amy's various conditions may force her to cancel scheduled appearances at Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday concert and the Glastonbury Festival. Not a big deal since she probably would've blown them both off anyway in favor of more crack-smoking.

Update: Wino's rep claims it's just a regular chest infection and not tuberculosis. Sure. And she's only got a little drug habit.
