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.

Keith Richards advising a drug addict. Now I've heard it all.

He could pass on the number of those blood change clinics in Switzerland he's been to over the years. I'm sure many of you have heard the urban legend of how Keith periodically would go to a Swiss clinic and get his blood changed.

:lol: Keith Richards. My God. If this guy is not half-dead, I don't know what is. Throwing pebbles at Amy. He must have been whistling "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" while throwing pebbles. I swear, he was stoned since 1962...:rolleyes: He'll be 80 and look like he's 900 years old. I swear, if they want a relic, they'll find Keith: the lost relic of All Relics.

"...the former junkie..."

Isn't he STILL A JUNKIE? :rolleyes:

for some reason I thought Keith was still on drugs. I remember a minor controversy last year when he commented that he snorted his dad's (who passed away in 2002-2003) ashes like it was cocaine.

He claimed he was only joking.

But wasn't he the one who fell out of a palm tree at some tropical resort?

what kind of sense of humor would have you publically announce that you've snorted your father? Keith is one messed up undead person.

Look at the man, he is in advanced decomposition, I believe he died sometime around the Carter administration.

The mere fact the guy is a major drug user and has snorted everything under the sun, should tell you his mind is NOT all there. The mere fact he tells a great singer like Winehouse, "she needs to get her act together" when he has no reason whatsoever to be giving advice when he of all people should know how hard it is to kick an addiction and NO YOU CAN'T JUST GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. It is more than that. The woman needs help, serious help. Her husband is in jail and he too is an addict.

I detest Keith Richards for using the media to give pathetic advice and calling her the "b" word. :mad: What a bastard.

Coming to a theater near you:

IF YOU LOVED 13 GOING ON 30, YOU'll LOVE 13 GOING ON 70.

Starring Keith Richards, as a man whose childhood was so stoned since birth that begs the ultimate question: How stoned was he? Watch him as a kid when he finds true love. 10 year old Keith takes out a Bob Marley, "This is going to be your first blunt, mate." Now, at 20, "This is going be your 30th blunt." Now at 70, "What the f*ck went wrong? Those goddamned Swedes. Let me throw pebbles. It clears the mind." See Emma Thompson in a stiring role to pull at your heart strings as Keith's mother, "You'll never ammount to anything, you stoner!" Watch as Keith brilliantly lits another blunt, takes coccaine, smokes, becomes a junkie, in such a performance that the even Academy has to be stoned!

The New York Times Says, "Stone-tastic."

The National Equirer calls its, "The most stoned-out movie. It begs the question if Keith ever was on morphine!"

Ebert and Roeper gave it two "blunts" up

The Dailey News says, "Watch this stoned!"

The Chicago Tribune says, "Leave your brain fried. This movie will turn you stoned already."

Coming soon to a theater near you. Picture of today Keith, "Leave your pebbles out the door or I'll stoned you!" Bringing blunts may vary.

I figured Keith would actually understand what Amy's going through considering he's been in her position before in the 60's and 70's.

Yeah, you'd figure. But the guy thinks it is funny to be "high". :rolleyes:

Yep! As the saying goes, sometimes a picture is worth a 1,000 words!

Pot, meet kettle.

No pun intended.

...well..., ok, maybe pun was intended.;)

Yeah, but you are talking to a drugggie who has been a druggie since the 60s.

Maybe if Amy saw Keith Richards picture, she'd realize how she is going to end up looking like if she doesn't continue with her rehab.

Look at the man, he is in advanced decomposition, I believe he died sometime around the Carter administration.
:rofl: My husband says that about people sometimes, "He died 10 years ago, but nobody's told him yet." Remarks like that, lol.

Janice...:rofl:


Kids, this is what will happen should you use drugs!!!!! :eek:

^ does he not look like one of the zombies from the Thriller video? :lol:

I have no idea WHAT Keith Richards looks like. What an insult to those zombie characters. :lol:

Janice...:rofl:

Irene, please tell me that picture is photoshopped. It looks like a mask or something. If not, then yes, great for a PSA, lol.

This is an article from April 2003 : Four years down the track and either he still lives or his embalmed corpse has been propped up on stage. I include the image originally filed with this story and, further down, a later photo. Is he dead? Look carefully at his eyes ..

Rumours are rife that the Keith Richards seen snorting in stage shows and passed out in corridors is actually a corpse, after a health expert says he should have died eight years ago.

He’s outlived all expectations, mine included, and successfully avoided death after years of hard living. Is it the sex, drugs and rock’n'roll?

The man has consumed more illegal substances in his time than any fifty of us ordinary folk, by rights he should be dead, so it’s easy to understand why more and more questions are being asked about his state of existence.

This month everyone is reading the report from David Demko, American gerontologist, in US music magazine Blender. Demko investigated the lifestyles of music’s biggest names and predicted their death dates in a survey entitled When will Your Favourite Rock star die?

Demko says : “Richard should have passed away at 52. I’m not sure how he does it but he defies all conventional wisdom. Eighty per cent of the factors that control how long you live are related to your lifestyle not genes.”

Among his other predictions, Demko concluded that Ozzy Osborne will die in 2013 aged 65, Whitney Houston will make it to 59 and Michael Jackson will die at the age of 76. Whether in jail or not.

But Sting fares rather better in the life expectancy list. According to Demko’s calculation, he should live to the age of 93.

These days Richards has part of his father’s lifestyle as well. Up his nose.

Richards was quoted as saying to British music magazine NME in April

“The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated, and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared, it went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”

Yes, Virginia, there are people who snort their father’s ashes.

A later photo shows Richards to be more dead than ever .

It's Pruneface from the Dick Tracy comics. He has been resurected by the roaches.

Janice...:rofl:

:lol: :lol:

:lol: I totally agree!!! :lol:

No, he died when Gerald Ford was president. He was already decomposed then.

I think he actually died the same time Brian Jones did, he just came across a voodoo curse that would allow him to stay alive for 50 more years while his body decays :rofl:

So, after a nuclear war it is agreed then that the three things that will survive are:

CHER
ROACHES
KEITH RICHARDS


Keith looks somewhat like a cross between Leatherface and Freddy Kruger. :eek:

He is Freddy Kruger, Sr. .....he is actually a distant father twice removed from drug habits and countless aging over 3 lifespan.
