Amy Winehouse diagnosed with lung disease
Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed as suffering from lung disease emphysema.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, told the Sunday Mirror that doctors have warned his daughter that if she continues to smoke drugs she will die.
“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up,” he continued. “There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 per cent lung capacity.”
The singer’s father went on to condemn Pete Doherty, who his daughter has recently been hanging out with. “I don’t want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty,” he said. “What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her?” (Source: NME)
Now she’s diagnosed with lung cancer. Here’s a picture of her before and after:

This is what drugs and smoking can do to you. I can’t help but to feel sad for her. And well, bad company too. Life’s a choice and it’s yours, so choose well.

US comic George Carlin dies at 71: report
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Irreverent US comedian George Carlin, who became known as a voice of the 1970s counterculture and was one of the country’s best known funny men, died on Sunday aged 71, US media reported.
The Grammy award winner, whose career spanned five decades, died of heart failure, his publicist Jeff Abraham told the New York Times.
Carlin had a history of heart problems and passed away in Santa Monica, California after checking into the hospital with chest pains.
He won four Grammy Awards, including one for his 1972 comedy recording “FM & AM,” in which he combined his older, more conventional material that entertained audiences in the 1950s and 60s, with his new, edgier and more controversial style.
Gray-bearded and often dressed in black casual attire, Carlin frequently admitted to drug use and shocked 1970s audiences with his hit “Seven Words That Can Never Be Said on Television.” (Source: AFP)

Jimmy Kimmels F@cking Ben Affleck Response to Matt and Sarah
Sarah Silverman sings I’m Fucking Matt Damon in the Jimmy Kimmel Live. Jimmy Kimmel was previously known for cutting off Matt Damon’s appearances on TV, always saying something like “Apologies to Matt Damon, due to constraints…” The tune’s so catchy and I replayed it 10 times already I think.
