Amy 'is killing herself'

Cape Town - Singer Amy Winehouse has hit a new low after she was filmed smoking crack cocaine in her east London home, The Sun reported on Tuesday.
The troubled star can be seen sucking in crack fumes from a glass pipe after a reported 19-minute binge in which she snorted ecstasy and cocaine.
The singer also admits on the video, that she had popped six Valium pills "to bring myself down".
The video was filmed early on Friday morning at a party that Winehouse threw at her home - just hours before she went to court to support her husband Blake Fielder-Civil at a remand hearing.
The video is just the latest evidence in the peroxide blonde's downward spiral of self-destruction.
A friend to The Sun on Monday night: "Amy is locked in a nosedive towards oblivion - she is killing herself. The video shows a woman completely out of control.
"Her family and her few real friends have begged her to pull herself from the brink many times. But here is proof she has pressed the self-destruct button.
"Her fans would scarcely recognise the drug-addled wreck in the video as the talented performer they love.
"We can only pray she will get a wake-up call when she watches the video herself and sees the terrible state she is in."
The friend added: "Amy is looking ill and dirty, and is so thin you wonder how much more she can take. She must get help."
In the video Amy is being offered cocaine and a friend cautions her not too take too much of the deadly drug.
However, Amy disregards the warning and continues to snort the drug.
According to The Sun, Amy's real friends believe she is now at constant risk of an overdose like the one which led to her notorious collapse last August.
"Someone has to turn her around," another friend told the paper, "otherwise a great talent will disappear forever very soon."
