Jagger and Richards knock Winehouse Options

Keith Richards throws stones at Winehouse

BERLIN (Hollywood Reporter) - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has offered troubled singer Amy Winehouse some free advice on kicking the drug habit.

"She should get her act together," the former junkie said during a round-table interview at the Berlin International Film Festival on Friday to promote Martin Scorsese's Rolling Stones documentary "Shine a Light."

The often-addled rocker paused, then added: "Apart from that, I have got nothing to say to the b****."

Winehouse, 24, entered a London rehab clinic last month in hopes of kicking a destructive habit that has overshadowed her promising career.

Stones frontman Mick Jagger, himself no stranger to pharmaceutical experimentation and resulting legal troubles, compared the drug problems of the present generation of Brit rock stars, such as Winehouse and Pete Doherty, to his early days when drugs became an integral part of the pop music scene.

"When we were experimenting with drugs, little was known about the effects," Jagger said. "In our time there were no rehab centers like today. Anyway, I did not know about them."

Sounding a bit like the 64-year-old grandfather that he is, the fitness fanatic said he couldn't understand how the younger generation, knowing the dangers of drug use, could still be users.

I understand the drug criticism, but not the "bitch" thing. Seems a little harsh.

Agreed-I think we've always know the "effects" of drug use like when Hendrix and Joplin OD'd.

They are only hypocrites if they are still using.

When I was young stupid if I'd listened to thirtysomething twelve steppers or guys who who had hung up their wasteoid boots in favor of beers on the weekends there'd be more money in my IRA today. No regrets though, I had a lot of fun when I drank every day and dabbled in other stuff. Just in another phase of my life now is all.

She'll figure it out or she'll die, grandfatherly advice from the Glimmer Twins notwithstanding.

nope
i was ok for us but not for you

[James Fucking Mason]

That's not what they said, you mo-ran.

ok then
eisenhower should have told nixon that burglary wrong then

[EricDoberman]

They maintained, she doesn't appear to be.

As someone who still gets intoxicated on a regular basis I have zero problem calling out a friend whose shit isn't together the way mine is because they are unable to handle their drug of choice.

My friends who still do gak or drink like fish yet have their lives in order I leave be. To people who don't have addictive personalities booze, weed, gak etc are like cigarettes or junk food or being a couch potato: a poor health choice but hardly their undoing in life and therefore none of my business.

Everyone has to make their own decisions and mistakes in life. My nieces and nephews look at me like I have three heads whenever I offer advice-so I don't anymore. They're smart-they'll learn.

[Flipper]

I'll give Jagger a pass for speaking up on this, because he kind of figured out relatively early on that the constant self abuse had to stop, or else.

Richards should just shut his fucking piehole and thank God he's alive/made enough money over the years to buy his health back.

As for Winehouse ...

God, 24 is sooo young. Hopefully she figures it all out before we all have another celebrity "oopsy" to laugh about.

Wait until Oscar Cotton pays a visit to their schoolyard. If you've ever been deep into the debauchery of serious alcohol/drug use and suffered the consequences you'll want to spare them the experience, I assure you.

They're eggheads-really good kids on both sides. Both have stay-at-home moms that are hawkeyes. They're very lucky.

I've been debauched, but lived to tell.

Perhaps your nieces and nephews look at you like you have "three heads" when you talk about stuff like this because they get the sense that you're bragging rather than trying to offer adult advice. The above comment sure comes off like this.

Smart kids usually have pretty reliable built in bullshit detectors, you know.

Terry , this can't be as easy as you make it look. No matter what the topic, you never disapoint. Do you really have to work at this, and you're so fucking pro that it just appears to be totally natural? You really are a goddamn thoroughbred at the interweb.

My mother went on a carribean cruse last week terry. She said the funniest part was there were three women at the slots next to her one night speculating on how huge Dick Cheney's cock is. Just thought I would share that with you.
