Doctor's adviced Singer Amy Winehouse's to quite drinking

Singer Amy Winehouse's doctors have given her an ultimatum - either she should quit drinking or brace herself for the worst.

The 27-year-old is being currently treated at rehabilitation clinic The Priory, where she checked into last week, reports thesun.co.uk.

"This is the last chance saloon for Amy. Doctors have come down hard on her because of the severity of her situation. It's a harsh reality but she had to hear it," said a source.

Winehouse' father Mitch and boyfriend Reg Traviss were also beside her when she was being advised by doctors and they begged her to heed the professionals' advice.

"They are worried about her. Mitch has been down this road before during Amy's drug addiction. But she is there of her own accord this time and wants to sort herself out," the source said.

Winehouse has heard harsh words at the clinic earlier too, during her several stints between 2007 and 2009 when she needed help with her addiction to drugs.

She hopes to sort out her problems for a number of shows in Europe this summer. She is due to perform in Serbia, Greece, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary and Romania.

Amy Winehouse Album 'delayed'

Amy Winehouse's latest rehab stint has forced record label bosses to postpone plans to release her long-awaited third album, according to a U.K. report.

The British singer, who has long battled drink and drunk addiction, checked into The Priory clinic on Wednesday (25May11) to undergo a treatmentprogram, with the singer's publicist revealing she was admitted to make sure she is ready for gigs in Europe this summer (11).

However, a new report now suggests Winehouse's planned comeback is set to be delayed to give her time to recover fully.

A source tells Britain's The People, "She has finally finished the album and it's ready to go. They were just about to finalise a release date and then this happened. She is back in rehab for the foreseeable future soit is just a question of waiting and seeing now. But there is no way they can give a specific release date until they know she is likely to be out".

A statement from Winehouse's representative previously revealed, "She will remain at the Priory on doctor's advice".

Linday Lohan under house arrest

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, who showed up three weeks early at Los Angeles` Lynwood Jail, is now under house arrest.

A website reports that she was immediately determined eligible to serve her time at home, so she was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet Thursday and released.

She is now at her home in Venice, California, but cannot leave until June 29.

"She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times," said Steve Whitmore, the Los Angeles Sheriff`s spokesman.

The actress was last month ordered to to undertake three years probation, serve 120 days in jail and complete 480 hours of community service for jewelry theft and breaching the terms of her 2007 probation.

Home detention aims to reduce the prison population by allowing non-violent offenders to serve out their sentences in home confinement.

Lohan, who pleaded no contest to stealing a $2,500 necklace, had until June 17 to report to the prison but it is thought she wanted to do it sooner rather than later so she can begin shooting her new movie, "Gotti: three Generations"

Lady gaga weird about superstitions sex

Singer Lady Gaga, who recently split from boyfriend Luc Carl, says for a long time she was not comfortable with love making.

She also thinks that she had to learn to love herself before loving anyone else, reports contactmusic.com.

"I was very insecure for a very long time. I didn't know that I would be very comfortable with it and it wasn't until very recently that I actually enjoyed sex. I was talking with my sister about how it's not until you really love yourself that you can give love to others," the 25-year-old told metro.us.

Gaga, in the past, also admitted that she has weird superstitions about sex.

"I have weird superstitions about sex. If you're not having sex with someone who really loves you they can screw up your energy. I think sometimes if you are promiscuous and are just sleeping around that people can take things from you. I think it's always important to be making love," she said.

Tilda Swinton says birth is 'violent'

Tilda Swinton claims Hollywood glamorises childbirth, when in fact it is a ''violent'' experience for women.

Tilda Swinton thinks childbirth is "violent"

The 50-year-old actress - who has 13-year-old twins Honor and Xavier with partner John Byrne - believes Hollywood glamorises birth, which is actually a "murderous" experience.

She said: "In movies, and particularly in television films, when people have babies they are sitting in a hospital room and there are flowers everywhere.

"They are made up, magically, and they have a baby in their arms and it's all really lovely. They start getting pink baby clothes. It's a truly, truly murderous business. It's violent."

The Oscar-winning actress - who portrays a mother who fails to bond with her son in forthcoming movie 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' - thinks women who are unable to "embrace" the nature of child birth may find themselves "up a gum tree" because of how hard it is.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, she said: "If one doesn't embrace that [violence], if one can't embrace it - and it's really tough to do that - then you're up a gum tree because it means you're going to be cutting off a whole part of yourself."

Rihanna Video Ruled Too Racy for Daytime Brits

Rihanna has sparked a backlash in Britain after TV censors ruled her S&M video is too racy for daytime viewers.

The promo caused controversy earlier this year (11) with its raunchy imagery as the singer appeared semi-naked, tying a man to a bed, and suggestively sucking a banana.

Bosses at the Wtf TV channel aired the clip during a morning slot, prompting a viewer to complain to TV watchdog committee Ofcom that it was "completely unsuitable for daytime broadcast".

Ofcom chiefs ruled the promo "clearly and repeatedly focused on sex, bondage and sadomasochistic sexual practices as a theme" and that certain scenes "could have potentially dangerous consequences if imitated by children".

Now they are calling a meeting with several top TV executives to discuss their policies on racy music videos.

A statement from Ofcom reads, "We will... be requesting that broadcasters who transmit such programming attend a meeting at Ofcom to discuss the compliance of such material. "(We will) shortly be issuing new guidance about the acceptability of material in music videos broadcast before the watershed".
