The world's two most notorious crack addicts - Amy Winehouse and the recently released from prison Pete Doherty - have apparently tagged teamed it to become...er, well that's when you come in. We need to find out a new name for the two-some who have confirmed that they are recording new music together.
Over the weekend Doherty and Winehouse (perhaps, Crackhouse works?) were at it again. When I say at it, I mean they were probably smoking crack together till the wee hours of the morning. You can tell by the black residue on their hands captured in the video the twosome posted of their late night escapade, where they fondle newborn mice. Yeah, it's weird and, yeah, it's true. The "Part 1" video almost looks like a missing scene from Trainspotting.
Doherty reportedly refers to the incident as 'Winemouse' and told the BBC that, "One of the mice gave birth, didn't it? I think it was Jennifer. [Winehouse] was really fond of them."
"Part 1"
As for recording new music together, it hasn't exactly been a good high for Doherty and Winehouse. According to a ananova.com, “Amy has thrown back every song Pete has written for her. She keeps telling him it's rubbish and worse—and she'll only perform if the song is great." Even Doherty admitted to BBC News, "I kind of took a bit of a back seat. She said: 'Listen to this new song, listen to this new song, record this, record this'."

So many puns, so little time... Crack-man Turner Overdrive, Intravenous In Furs. Maybe we could get Lindsay Lohan and Britney in on this for the Rehab Four.
Yes, I know using Lindsay and Britney here is an outdated reference. I'm okay with that.

I'm wondering if it would be too long and cumbersome to call them "Can't Stop Watching Us, Can You? In That Sick, Rubbernecking-At-A-Car-Wreck Sort Of Way."
Have to go and shower now. In that Cher-in-Silkwood, decontaminating sort of way.

i just don't understand how people can't help them.

I guarantee somebody will jump in here (or thought about it anyway until reading this comment) and parrot the timeworn adage that "no one can help an addict until he/she wants to be helped. Tsk, tsk." Well, it's B.S. Many addicts desperately want help but have slipped down into such a perspective-skewing pit of despair that they can't see how anybody could help them, or would want to. Many seemingly bizarre or uncharacteristic acts turn out to be last-resort cries for help in the only language someone so deeply altered can muster.
It's none of my business and it makes me feel dirty and complicit to even continue the discussion, but my take is this: No one loves either of these two enough to want to help them. Put another way, those who might be close enough to them to help are too much in love with something else ($$$) to want to act. Because in the case of these two nutjobs, "help" doesn't mean 30 days in a rehab resort and get back in the studio and make us some more hits. It means 90 days minimum in a tough, absolutely substance-free environment that holds them accountable for any slip-ups, followed by 6 to 9 months of learning to live in the world as a clean and sober person, with counseling, meetings, etc. as needed. Hell, they tell you to avoid romantic relationships for at least a year after cleaning up -- how soon should someone like Amy re-enter the environment that encouraged and fed her habit, if ever?
And let's not forget the collateral damage, either. Every one of those little mouse babies will probably end up in a Rehabitrail someday, thanks to that video shoot.

° ° ° Saw that one on the BBC the other day, the problem it's quite difficult to tell where starts the provocation and where stops the advertisement, all that might as well be a carefully planned media campaign as might be just the decaying mind trail to madness of some artists loosing it thru drugs abuse.
This story sadly makes me think to that of Sid Vicious/Nancy Spungen's bitter end.

Or perhaps the Crack-tastic 4!
Put 'em in blue suits and have Britney holler, "It's Clobberin' Time!" as she smacks one of her kids. Maybe Amy will set her hair on fire (a la Michael Jackson or Richard Prior), Pete can play invisible (Amy can't see him anyway, obviously, since it's all about her) and Lindsay will seem like she's elastic since she's always anywhere but the scene of the crime.

Crack Twin powers ACTIVATE!!!

actually Crackhouse is already taken, and i'm sure these 2 can't afford any more legal battles. i have so many names, but they all sound so mean...

How 'bout Amyshambles?
My Trusted MOGs
They are truly pathetic.
People should stop buying her music and feeding into her problem. This is just beyond sad but HORRIFIC.
Her grave will read, "Death by Crack Addiction."
What a terrible way to be remembered.
I have been praying for them but I guess prayer is just not entering their hearts.

aaaawwww. at least we all know what baby mice look like.
