NOTW exclusive: People take drugs at music industry shindig
Yes, it's hard to believe, but according to Rav Singh in this morning's News of the World, people at music industry get-togethers take cocaine.
We're not sure what further exclusives we can expect from Rav over the coming weeks - perhaps "sometimes boys in boarding schools masturbate each other after lights out", or "some American lobbyists are little more than semi-official bribe machines." For this week, though, Rav has one of those really unattractive (and, it should be said, inconclusive) extreme close-ups of Amy Winehouse's nose, taken at the Brits:
My exclusive snaps show the sozzled singer leaving an awards party with traces of snow-white powder coating her nostrils.
It looks like the ‘party' drug cocaine — if so, I'm afraid Amy has hit a grim low.

Oh, get a grip, man. Cocaine is a nasty drug, supporting horrible political regimes and fuelling a lot of the crime in the UK. But to suggest one possible snort is a "grim low" is something of an over-statement, and that's even before you bring in "friends" to sound worried:
Last night a close friend of Amy's told me: "Everyone knows Amy's one of the biggest caners on the scene at the moment, but if she's getting into Class-As, it's bad news."
Is it just me, or does that sound less like the way a close friend would speak about a friend with a possibly addictive habit? "Amy's one of the biggest caners on the scene at the moment" isn't a phrase anyone would ever use, much less a worried mate.
But then "Sunday tabloid journalist assigns dubious quotes to unnamed friends" is right up there with "people take drugs at music industry shindig", isn't it?

The NOTW shot themselves in the foot yesterday on this - they ran "Brits star drug horror" (or similar) as the strapline to a TV advert, but because they'd already released their top story, the Attorney General's affair, you already knew it wasn't going to be based on the greatest evidence. (And let's be honest - it was only ever going to be Winehouse, wasn't it? Everyone's trying to stay the right side of Lily Allen these days, and there's nobody else who springs to mind as being in This Week's Pop Tabloid Fuck Up contention)
Another shocking expose from Rav Singh. I wonder if Rav has ever met any journalists who might have taken drugs? If so, he should tell us about them, at least so we can write to their publishers and express our deep concern.

Definitely. I think Rav should spill the beans on the shadowy world of journalists and drugs, he must know loads of stories. For instance, I read once about a gossip hack for a Sunday tabloid who lived with his girlfriend and was so hooked on 'party drugs' that he once secretly sold a load of her things to pay for his hefty habit.
I forget which one it was. Perhaps Rav knows?
