KEY POINTS:
Soul singer Amy Winehouse, who is rapidly becoming Britain's answer to Britney Spears, is on a sleighride to shameful self-destruction.
The beleaguered Rehab star has been snapped by paparazzi barefoot, clad in only bra and jeans, and parading the streets of London in the early hours of the morning.
The Daily Mail reports that Winehouse, 24, had been partying with friends on Sunday evening at a pal's house. But after she left, Wino was spotted in Bow, East London, at 5.40am in freezing temperatures, mumbling incoherently to herself.
Onlookers said she appeared disorientated as she wandered around on the pavement for several minutes in the freezing cold before disappearing back inside her house.
Pals, already worried for her safety, were horrified.
A source said: "Amy came out and started stumbling around. She popped her head over the fence like she was looking for something. It was freezing and she had no shoes and just a red bra. She was mumbling something incomprehensible. It wasn't the behaviour of someone in the right state of mind."
However, her spokeswoman said: "Amy was investigating a noise outside - which is why she wasn't wearing any shoes, and was just in a bra and jeans with no make-up. Amy hadn't been partying - she'd have been wearing make-up if she had been."
"She is an outpatient under the daily care of a physician. She is trying to get better, and is doing really well."
Meanwhile, her mother-in law, Georgette Felder-Civil, says the singer is taking more drugs than ever.
"Amy is still using drugs while Blake is in prison. She is using more cocaine and heroin now than ever. She can't stop crying and keeps saying all she wants is peace."
Wino has also ignored pleas from her family to seek help and check herself in to rehab.
Instead, she has been 'resting' at a friend's house in East London.
Update:
Wino received a 4am visit from junkie rocker Pete Doherty yesterday, and was photographed with a bag full of a mystery white substance in the boot of her car.
The Daily Mail says Winehouse was spotted moving her belongings from her flat in North London as she relocated to a new flat in East London.
A crafty paparazzi took a snap of her belongings in the boot, and spotted a bag full of an unknown white substance.
To make matters worse, Doherty was also papped sporting a conspicuous light dusting of white powder on his trousers
Oh, Amy: The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't anywhere in sight.
Where's your family while all this is kicking off? They're clearly as useful as a one armed trapeze artist with an itchy ass.
Stop rationalizing and waving away those red flags. Enough is enough.
Super solo Spice
God bless Posh Spice and all who sail in her!
While the other Spice Girls perform solo spots on their tour, belting out highlights from their post-Spice careers, poor Posh is faced with a difficult quandary - how to not look like a talentless twit.
So how does she overcome the embarrassment?
The walking cadaver performs some random catwalk poses to the tune of Madonna's Like a Virgin, while holding a cell phone, and flapping around in what looks like a Batman cape.

Suck that!
Eighties pop singer Cyndi Lauper reportedly inhales helium before she performs live.
The New York Daily News reports that the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun warbler, known for her high-pitched squeals, was spotted sucking the voice-distorting gas out of balloons back stage at the Hetrick-Martin Institute benefit gala, in New York, last week.
A source says: "Cyndi sucked the gas out of two helium balloons before going on stage to belt out Time After Time and some of her other hits."
What's more, the pop pixie managed to p-off her backing singers at the concert - which aimed to raise cash for the Harvey Milk High School for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) youths - when she referred to them as her "transgender choir".
A disgruntled backing singer ranted: "She keeps calling us transgender! We're not f***ing trannies!"

Queen Latifah's outing?
The New York Daily News ran with this blind item this week:
Which big Hollywood actress is about to come out of the closet? She's been living with her girlfriend in a small town, where all the neighbors know, and the two are now engaged to be married.
Well, website MediaTakeOut claims to have solved the riddle.
The news website says it has exclusively learned that Queen Latifah is infact gay, and has been in a long term relationship with a girlfriend named Jeanette for the past four years.
MediaTakeOut.com also confirms that the two are planning on publicly coming out of the closet - once Latifah has finished promoting her movie, The Perfect Holiday.
Expect an announcement imminently.
Mysterious girl
Aussie signer Peter Andre has admitted to having a crush on gender-bender Culture Club frontman Boy George.
Jordan's dippy hubby says he fell for the singer after mistaking the gay signer for a woman when he saw the star on TV way back in 1983.
And he admits he was gutted when he found out the truth, saying: "I thought I was going to marry this woman."

Lohan tops 'Dumb and Dumber' list
Actress Lindsay Lohan has topped a list of dumb celebrities.
The New York's Daily News published their wall of shame this week, and the troubled train wreck came up tops.
The newspaper based their findings on IQs, poor fashion choices and bad judgment.

The actress beat off stiff competition from the likes of Britney Spears, socialite Kim Kardashian and Transformers star Shia LaBeouf.
Here's the top 5:
1. Lindsay Lohan
2. Kim Kardashian
3. Spencer Pratt
4. Jeff Kwatinetz (the man behind Britney Spears' disastrous MTV Video Music Awards performance)
5. Shia LaBeouf

Janet Jackson's a no-show
The Jackson's highly-anticipated 2008 tour will have to go ahead without the vocal contribution of sister Janet.
A music industry mole tells NY Post Page Six:
"Janet said she would be willing to participate in a few select shows next year, but [her fiance] Jermaine Dupri is holding her out of it. He wants Janet to go back in the studio and record another album, and he's also wary of having her be associated with Michael because he's gotten such bad press and is just freaky."
Paris' pooch
