Amy Winehouse taken to London hospital after fainting from crack withdrawl

Amy Winehouse fainted Monday at her north London home and was hospitalized, her spokesman said.

Winehouse lost consciousness but an assistant caught her before she hit the ground, spokesman Chris Goodman said. Who knew crack enablers could move as fast as Neo in the Matrix?

"She quickly recovered and her father, Mitch, took her to hospital as a precaution," Goodman said in a statement. I hope they detoxed her while she was there.

Winehouse had spent the afternoon signing autographs for Canadian fans who were standing outside her house. She collapsed after they left.

Goodman said doctors are unsure what caused the collapse and the 24-year-old singer was undergoing tests. I can tell you what it was. Crack withdrawl. You know the more drugs to put in your body, your immune system adapts, so you have to suck on that teet every hour on the hour.

She may stay in the hospital overnight as a precaution, he said.

Winehouse's career has prospered despite wild nights, missed concerts and stints in drug rehab. The Sunday Times newspaper's annual Rich List has estimated her wealth at $20 million, but I'm sure with her daily drug habit, her net worth will be less than Bo Diddley's if she keeps it up.
