Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch confirmed reports that his daughter is suffering from emphysema.

She is reportedly in the early stages of the disease.

He said that if Amy doesn’t stop using drugs that she may end up in a wheelchair within a month and may have to wear a permanent oxygen mask to survive. He added that if she doesn’t get clean she could die within months.

“To think this could be my beautiful 24-year-old daughter’s life is preposterous. But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it. But the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her,” he said.

Mitch Winehouse wants Amy to stay away from Pete Doherty and has warned drug dealers to o the same.

“I’m saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they’ve got to take responsibility. I don’t want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty either . . The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going she could have ended up an invalid - she wouldn’t have been able to breathe.

“My family have been criticized for not doing enough for Amy. Some say we should put her in a room and throw away the key but that’s against the law. In our limited way, we are doing the best we can and we are being guided by the doctors and psychologists.

“There’s no need to cry yet. If, God forbid, doctors said they can’t help her, then that’s when we can have a good cry. But if she doesn’t go back to drugs then she can lead this magnificent life. With her husband Blake too, if he gets clean as well.”

“I’ve started to see my old Amy back. We’ll just have to see how great her resolution is.”

A group of surfers weren’t too happy when paparazzi came onto the beach in Malibu in hopes of catching a shot of Matthew McConaughey.

As the paparazzi filmed McConaughey surfing and waited for him to return to the beach, a group of pissed off, drunk young men approached them.

The young men get all worked up and do that testosterone thing that young punkasses do after a few free-flowing half racks of Pabst. Like a pack of dogs they approached the paps.

“We’ll draw a line in the beach, and we’ll fight for the beach. If you guys win, you can have the beach,” said one of the guys. The insults flew back and forth between the two groups of men and before you know it things got out of hand. Women on the beach are freaking out and one photographer who tried to stand his ground was soon on the receiving end of some pop shots - his camera eventually being thrown into the water.

Check out the video here.
