Wasted Brit of ‘08: Vote Now!
When it comes to going way too far with the partying, there’s no one who can do it quite like the British. Witness 2008’s most full-on caners. Amy Winehouse made trips in and out of rehab so often she collected loyalty points, all the while dressed like a cracked-out 1950’s housewife pining for Blake Incarcerated. Lily Allen kept it simple by being the archetypal belligerent drunk — heckling her co-presenter Elton John at the GQ Men of the Year night and also being carried out of the Glamour awards. Classic. Peaches Geldof kept her PDAs (that’s Public Displays of Alcholism) to a small number, but trumped them all when she was filmed buying drugs from Amy Winehouse’s alleged dealer (hey, it’s a small Camden) and then suffered from a suspected overdose in the summer. And while royal Princess Beatrice kept herself far more composed (and clever) than this, there was hardly a bash she wasn’t spotted at this year. Partying without the incriminating pap photo at the end of the night? We like!

I agree with “Only One Thinking”. It is so sad that we live in a world where someone that is obviously not coping and seriously in need of help is ridiculed instead of being (*~$_$)$_(~_!(! isted. It is apparant to me that she has reached a point where she is no longer able to make rational decisions and needs outside help to concur her addictions. Unfortunately, money and fame seem to preclude help and those close to her seem to only be helping her make more and more destructive decisions. Does anybody actually care about what happens to her or is everybody just going to watch her decline to the point of no return?

I think its sad. All you people writing in like you enjoy peoples failures. I sure as hell don’t hope that no one in your family mom, dad, sisiter, brother, or even your own kids have a drug or alcohol problem. I want to see you laughing then you ignorant idiots. Use your head is this anything to make fun of . These people obviously have a problem. Before you make fun of anyone think before you say it could happen to you!
