Winehouse arrested on suspicion of drugs

Amy Winehouse was arrested Wednesday in connection with a January video that allegedly shows her doing drugs at a party at her north London home.

London's Metropolitan Police said a 24-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of drugs possession. Winehouse's spokesman, Chris Goodman, confirmed his client was in police custody.

"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries," Goodman said in a statement.

"The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year," he said.

Britain's The Sun tabloid in January published still images from a video that it claimed showed Winehouse inhaling fumes from a small pipe. The images were said to have been filmed during a party at her home.

Winehouse, who is famous for her hit Rehab , has had a turbulent private life. Last month she was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man during a night out. That means no charges were filed, but the incident was placed on her record.

Shortly after The Sun published still photographs of the video, Winehouse entered a London rehabilitation center.

Dina Lohan wins 'Top Mom' honor

The founder of an organization that honored Dina Lohan as a "Top Mom" says things "spun out of control" when the media focused all its attention on the tabloid magnet.

Mingling Moms, a networking group for Long Island mothers, celebrated Lindsay Lohan's mom and others with famous children Tuesday night at its "Girls' Night Out" party at Carlyle on the Green in Farmingdale, N.Y.

"It just spun out of control," Mingling Moms president Erica Logiudice told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "The press is welcome to be there -- I mean, we want it to be out there. But what they did was they kept badgering me, 'Why Dina Lohan? Why Dina Lohan?"'

Logiudice said Lohan made the cut in an online survey asking voters to select Long Island's top 20 moms of celebrities. The moms of Alec Baldwin, Natalie Portman and Mariah Carey also were nominated.

Lohan was swarmed by reporters at Tuesday's event. The celebrity Web site TMZ posted video of Lohan with the headline "Dina Lohan Massacres Mother's Day." When asked what advice she's given her actress-daughter Lindsay, Lohan responded: "Just to stay yourself and just to be honest. ... And if you do something, we're all imperfect, and if you make a mistake, you'll make up for it."

Lohan's mothering skills have been criticized by everyone from Rosie O'Donnell to celeb blogger Perez Hilton. The Merrick, N.Y., resident has been blamed for her daughter Lindsay's public missteps, which included a stint in a Utah rehab after two arrests last summer on drunken driving and cocaine charges.

"Dina was lovely, she was nice, we were glad she was there," said Logiudice, who formed Mingling Moms six years ago.

But Logiudice said the attention around Lohan distracted from the event's true purpose: to bring moms together for a fun time and raise money for breast cancer research. Part of the proceeds went to the FACT foundation, a Long Island-based breast cancer charity.
