Amy Winehouse braindead? New details of Amy Winehouse's drug usage was uncovered Sunday night -- including a report that she binged on crystal meth and may have brain damage after a 36-hour marijuana
stint. Winehouse, 24, suffered two major overdoses, with reportedly such bad convulsions that they were "like a scene from The Exorcist." And apparently her body is so frail from drug use that doctors were scared she would break bones during a fit. A close friend of Amy's warned medics that one more overdose will probably kill her, adding: "The future is bleak, bleak, bleak."

Kids with older dad at bipolar risk: Children born to fathers older than 30 are more likely to develop bipolar disorder, a common condition sometimes known as manic depression, according to a new Swedish study.

This research echoes previous findings that children of older fathers are at higher risk of psychological conditions such as bipolar disorder, autism and schizophrenia.
