Is Amy Winehouse near the end?

All of the UK’s tabloid press is in an absolute frenzy, having suddenly decided that she’s doing sooooo much worse than before that she might not make it through the weekend. This appears to be mostly based on some especially hideous – to the point of disgusting – photos of Amy that have turned up in the last few days.

Skeletally-thin with a fag-end hanging out of her gob, bruises up her arms and a grey, ravaged complexion, Amy Winehouse looked worse than ever as she staggered about in Camden in the early hours of the morning today.

Though her spokespeople have recently been claiming she's currently clean and sober, the troubled singer looked distinctly unhealthy as she staggered to her local pub The Monarch to play a DJ set.

She was then booed by drinkers in the night spot as she repeatedly stopped playing records to make trips to the toilet.

The dishevelled diva had already arrived two hours late for her slot.

As previously exclusively revealed by Mirror.co.uk, just last week Winehouse's spokespeople insisted that she was fine as she had been busy working on tracks for her forthcoming album and had already finished a clutch of songs.

Sadly, it seems the pictures are telling the opposite story.

[From the Mirror]

I think they’re being a little over dramatic. I’ve definitely seen Amy look worse than this. I mean to be fair Amy could be walking around wearing nothing but a beat up garbage can and she’d look better than this, but it’s definitely not her worst state. Some days I wonder what kind of article I’ll be writing about her the next week, but it seems like Wino defies all medical logic. That’s probably exactly why she thinks she can keep going like this forever. It makes a person curious what it would take to make Amy take this shit seriously and clean up her act. And then you realize the reason it hasn’t happened is because it doesn’t exist, and nothing will get Wino to care until it’s way too late to do anything.

You’ve got to wonder though – what does she think when she’s a little less drunk and she sees these pictures of herself? Is Amy capable of feeling shame and remorse like a regular person?

Here’s Amy at the Monarch pub in London on Thursday. At one point WENN says she stuffed “a selection of record vinyls down the back of her ill fitting leggings. She also suffered cuts to her legs and hands.” Images thanks to WENN.

That thigh scares the everloving Hell out of me.
More than thatI don't know, it might sound nuts, but I've always been a firm believer that you can tell someone's true state by looking at their eyes. She lookssad. Desperate. And that's the first time I can recall seeing that look– she always looked colossally screwed up, but with a certain amount of *control* to it. But I don't see that control now, I just see pure addiction, and worse, that she *knows* it's pure addiction.
I want to be able to say "she did this to herself" or "she deserves it for ––––––" or anything else, but I can't. Maybe I'm a sap but I can't dismiss someone that easily.

It can't be much longer before her organs start shutting down. She's just so thin thighs should not be the circumference of a bicep.

Why doesn't one of her handlers or her father or her record label force her into rehab??? There has got to be someone who can tell her enough is enough.

I think she IS desperate. She's sick. Addiction is an illness, and I think she had a few psychological problems to begin with.

Now she's in this deep, any pain and desparation will just lead her to shoot/snort up again, because the short term effect of the drug will at least make her feel momentarily better. And she simply can't see beyond the next half hour or so

Her life force is completely faded. I feel pretty darn sad for her. And, why isn't she in a hospital getting the help she needs?
