After Cocaine Video Surfaces, Winehouse Goes to Rehab
 As details emerge about the death of Hollywood actor Heath Ledger, concerns are growing over British singer Amy Winehouse. Tuesday, a photo of her apparently smoking a crack pipe was splashed across the front page of the U.K. tabloid The Sun. The photo, taken from a 19-minute video whose source The Sun has not revealed, was accompanied by reports that the Grammy-nominated singer had allegedly engaged in a drug binge of cocaine, ecstasy, Valium and crack. Winehouse, 24, is perhaps best known for her 2006 hit "Rehab," in which she wrote about her refusal to visit a rehab facility. Hours after the video was released, however, the singer turned up at the privately run Capio Nightingale Hospital, accompanied by her father, Mitch, and a bodyguard, according to The Times of London. The mental health clinic in central London is famous for treating celebrities with addiction problems.
