Keith Richards throws stones at Amy 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.

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.

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... 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?

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?

[Dean Winchester]

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. 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".

Pot, meet kettle.

No pun intended.

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

[88survivor]

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