It seems that lately all I am reporting on is the plight of troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse, who took the reigns from Britney Spears. Winehouse  has been taken to hospital after reacting to her medication, as confirmed by her spokesman.

"Amy Winehouse suffered a reaction to medication at home this evening and was taken to hospital," he said.

"Doctors have advised that she will be kept under observation overnight and is likely to be released tomorrow."

The 24-year-old pop star, whose battle against drug addiction has overshadowed her recording successes, has a home in Camden, north London.

Just last month Winehouse was rushed to hospital after she fainted at home, which was then confirmed by her father as a lung condition, emphysema , resulting in warnings from doctors that she would die if she continued smoking drugs.
