While my dad and I were driving up the west coast this weekend, the radio DJs on Sirius kept talking about how word on the street is that Amy Winehouse might have tuberculosis. I nearly spit out my Red Bull. "Amy Winehouse does not have tuberculosis," I told my dad. "Amy Winehouse has crack in her lungs."

And Amy's own father agrees.

"With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up," Mitch Winehouse tells the Sunday Mirror in the U.K. "There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 percent lung capacity."

"She's got emphysema," he says. "It's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe."

He also had this to say about Amy's recent hospital visit: "Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn't need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, 'Don't worry about me, dad. I know I've got to stop taking drugs now.'"

Yeah right. Because when drug addicts say they know they need to stop taking drugs, it inevitably results in them never taking drugs again. Right.
