Amy Winehouse gets a wax statue, world wonders if she'll try to smoke it.

The world works in weird ways.  If you or I were to be caught in the possession of any kind of drug, we'd go to jail.  Maybe for a year, maybe for the rest of our lives.  Yet if you're a musician or an actor, the drug police just can't touch you; and in an ironic twist, we continue to reward these known junkies by giving them unlimited attention, awards, and even wax statues.  And the latest addition to these realistic wax figureines is Amy Winehouse, which was unveiled just today at the Madame Tussauds, in London.

The figure, which in my opinion, looks too healthy to be Winehouse, was unveiled with her mother and father on hand, complete with the trademark beehive hairstyle, and sailor styled tattoos.  There's speculation as to wether or not the creator of the figurein intentionally forgot the crack rock jammed in the singer's nose.  Obviously, her Blaaaaake couldn't make it, since he is still serving his jail sentence for trying to cover up an attack and perjury.

So she had a few good songs.  Big deal.  I say we stop rewarding singers like this, and just haul their ass to rehab wether they ask for it or not.
