Amy Winehouse missed her rehearsal on Monday which created fear that she would miss the Brit awards tonight, after she heard that Blake has been trading autographed pics of her in exchange for drugs.

“Amy was supposed to rehearse on Monday, but didn’t show up after she discovered Blake had been trading pictures of her for drugs," said a source to The Sun.

“It's a real shame she wasn’t there for the rehearsal. Everyone got really worried. She is part of a medley, with Mark Ronson and Adele, and Daniel Merriwether, so it needs to run smoothly. It’s not just her standing on the stage on her own and singing.

“It’s sad Blake has sent her into turmoil again just before her big night. She’s been working so hard to get her head together for this.”

What's wrong with a little trading and bartering? Does Amy really have the right to be angry when just a couple of weeks ago she was caught on video smoking crack with a mixture of drug using dudes and chicks.

Heath Ledger's battle with alcohol and drugs was so harmful to his relationship with Michelle Williams that she tried to get him to enter rehab, Us Weekly reports.

For three years, Williams was a firsthand witness to the gifted actor's use of alcohol and drugs, including cocaine, heroin and "a variety of pills," says a Ledger confidant.

In March 2006 – just weeks after the couple walked the Oscars red carpet and when daughter Matilda was only five months old – Williams drove Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California, the confidant tells Us Weekly.

Ledger refused to check in, instead swaying her with a pledge to clean up.

Even after the couple realized "they were in way over their heads," according to a source, and split in September 2007, two sources tell Us that Williams demanded Ledger be drug-tested before his visitations with Matilda.

When news of Ledger's death broke last Tuesday, Williams was inconsolable. "She cried and screamed as soon as she heard," a source on the Swedish set of her latest film, Mammoth, tells Us.

So sad.

William Spears, Britney's 49 yr. old hillbilly uncle dished up a a troubled history of Brit's drinking and drug filled childhood.

He tells The Sun that,

"Brit started DRINKING when she was a 13-year-old Mickey Mouse Club presenter and dabbled with DRUGS from the age of 14.

She is also terrified she will mimic her tragic grandmother Emma Jean, who committed suicide aged 31.

Road Kill Willie ... Brit's uncle in his van

We tracked William - known as Willie - down to his camper van home near Britney’s childhood town of Kentwood, Louisiana.

After her turbulent early years, Willie says she went “buck-wild” on turning 18, snorting cocaine on her birthday, adding: “She has tried just about everything - cocaine, crystal meth, ecstasy.”

Willie, a welder, decided to speak out after seeing Britney’s capitulation since losing full-time access to sons SEAN PRESTON, two, and JAYDEN JAMES, one, in her bitter custody row with Kevin Federline.

Willie claims her recent meltdown can be traced back to her difficult past.

Not so innocent ... Brit on Disney

He says: “I’m not just a family friend or someone who claims to know them. I was there every day, working with them. I have seen all the terrible things happen.”

Willie says his niece’s battle with the bottle started when she was just 13.

On one occasion, he was invited to a Florida wrap party for Disney kids’ TV show Mickey Mouse Club - which Britney fronted alongside JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and CHRISTINA AGUILERA.

He says: “The kids were definitely drinking that night. While the adults talked, they were somewhere else, up to no good.

“They had a bottle of gin and slipped away to the bathroom to drink it. I saw them going.”

But Willie is certain Britney was exposed to drink and drugs long before she hit the big time.

“Her brother Bryan was the star of the high school football team. They went to all the best parties where there were drugs and alcohol - a lot.”

He believes her drug-taking started at 14 with marijuana but adds: “It got worse when she got famous and she found out that people would do what she wanted them to.

“She wanted to drink, party and go where she wanted to go.

“She is a ruthless little thing, make no mistake. Nobody controls her. She bosses everyone around her.”

Willie says his brother JAMIE - Britney’s dad - must take a large chunk of responsibility for her boozy lifestyle.

“Just about everyone in the Spears family is a drunk and Britney’s dad Jamie was one of the worst.

“He would drink from daylight to night. Britney saw him drunk all the time.”

Jamie went into rehab in 2004 to overcome an addiction to alcohol and painkillers - but the damage to his family was already done.

Willie continues: “Britney grew up thinking it was alright to drink and that you can live with a drinking problem.”

Willie is a recovering drug addict and has been clean for more than four years. But sensationally he admits taking drugs with Britney in the past.

“If people think she has reached the bottom, they are very wrong. Suicide is the bottom line for Britney.”

The newlyweds are trying to make it work... cocaine does that for you. Now they can talk for hours and hours and without making any sense or bothering to listen to what each other says, which is probably best for their brand new broken marriage.

The good mother and amateur pornographer were out in West Hollywood at 5:30 am. Maybe they were getting an early start on a day full of Christmas shopping.

That devil faced Lutfi is so clever, he found a new excuse for the amphetamine source appearing in Brit's urine. Of course, everybody remembers the story of you sucking on that inhaler to suppress your appetite. Let's just say it's the inhaler!

Although Abuterol is not an "amphetamine".
Although Brit does not suffer from asthma.

That damn Alli, where is she this week? Is it Alli's urine that's dirty? Is that why she ran for hills? Did Brit finally have to submit her own urine?

Can't wait!

Brit's ready to "Eat It, Lick It, Snort It, F%&k It!" again!


Now that Brit showed up for another court hearing, complied with a parenting class and had that potted plant follow her around, telling how to raise her kids, she thinks she no longer needs the drug tests!!! So get rid of them!!

Friday Oct. 26, at the big hearing, where she told reporters to "Eat It, Lick It, Snort It, F*$% It!", she had her attorney file a motion to change the twice-weekly random drug testing, according to court papers that were released today. There is no ruling as of yet, but I'm thinking, "NO!"
