Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported.

The popular singer who had a public battle with drugs and alcohol  was found at the property in by emergency services at 3.54pm this afternoon, according to sources, and her death is being treated as ‘unexplained’ by police.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

‘On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

‘Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.’

It is not known whether Amy’s father Mitch actually knows about his daughter’s death and Sky News have confirmed that he is currently on a plane to New York to take part in a Jazz festival.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor, one of the 20th Century’s biggest movie stars and one of the most beautiful woman  the world has ever known, has died in Los Angeles at the age of 79.
The double Oscar-winning actress had a long history of ill health and was being treated for symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Dame Elizabeth’s most famous films included National Velvet, Cleopatra and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

She was equally well-known for her glamour and film partnership with Richard Burton, one of seven husbands.

In her prime, she was arguably one of the world’s greatest actresses and most beautiful women.

Her colourful private life, screen success and Aids charity work ensured she was never far from the spotlight since finding fame at the age of 12.

The peak of her film career came in the 1950s and 1960s, with four Oscar nominations in a row from 1958 to 1961.

She lost out in her first three attempts – for Raintree County, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly, Last Summer – but triumphed at her fourth attempt with Butterfield 8.

Her second Oscar came in 1967 for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, one of 12 films with Burton.

She met the actor while filming 1963′s Cleopatra – which became notorious as one of the most expensive films of all time, but which also sparked one of Hollywood’s greatest romances.
Health problems

Taylor had already been married four times – to Conrad Hilton, Michael Wilding, Michael Todd and Eddie Fisher – before she wed Burton in 1964.

Their tempestuous relationship saw them divorce and remarry in 1975 before she moved on to further marriages with John W Warner and Larry Fortensky.

Her health problems began with a fall while filming her first hit film, National Velvet, which led to a lifetime of back problems.

A rare strain of pneumonia almost killed her in 1961 and she also battled addictions to alcohol and painkillers.

In the 1990s, she endured two hip replacement operations and another near-fatal bout of pneumonia and survived surgery for a benign brain tumour in 1997.

In 2004, it was revealed that she was suffering from congestive heart failure, with symptoms including fatigue and shortness of breath, and scoliosis, which twisted her spine.

But she continued to campaign for her Aids charity, which she set up in 1991 after the death of her friend and co-star Rock Hudson.

Nate Dogg will be remembered this weekend in several events across Southern California — and everyone is invited.

The hip-hop hook singer — whose real name was Nathaniel Dwayne Hale — died March 15 following complications from multiple strokes, his lawyer Mark Geragos tells The Associated Press.

He was 41.

A funeral service is set for 10 a.m. Saturday at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal and will be open to the public, the singer’s sister Pamela Hale-Burns told a reporter for The Long Beach Press-Telegram this week.

Viewing for the singer will be Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at New Hope Baptist Church, 1160 New York St., also in Long Beach. No cameras will be allowed at either event.

Meanwhile one of Nate’s closest friends, rapper Warren G – who collaborated with him on his 1994 smash “Regulate” — has called his death a “crushing blow” to The Music World.

“We had got the word from his family on what was going on, and it was just a crushing blow for us. Just from going to see him and lifting his spirits up when he was in therapy, and stuff like that, it’s just crazy for that to happen. And I still don’t believe it, you know what I’m saying?”
RIP

Whoopi Goldberg has announced that her mother passed away last month.

During her time on “The View” today, the “Sister Act” actress shared, “My mom passed on the 29th of August,” while chatting with Barbara Walters.

Whoopi described her mom Emma as, “one of the best people I think I’ve had the privilege of knowing. I don’t think she quite realized how many lives she touched. She was an extraordinary woman.”

“And really, my brother and I were very, very lucky to have her in our lives. And so, I’m not sad because she had a great time… I think I’m just sad sometimes because I think who will love me the way that she did? But I realized that my brother and I have each other so we’re okay.”
RIP
