Taking a hard line, Amy Winehouse’s dad says Great Britain is throwing out its money on the treatment of drug addicts who are too quick to say “yes, yes, yes” to rehab, according to an Associated Press report.

Mitch Winehouse told British lawmakers on Parliament’s Home Affairs Select Committee Tuesday that many addicts who take up treatment as an alternative to a jail time have no intention of trying to quit drugs. He further said officials are too ready to offer rehab to convicted criminals while non-offending addicts have to wait months for treatment.

Of course, Amy Winehouse is famous for “Rehab,” a song about a woman who refuses drug addiction treatment. Winehouse is also well-known from her various run-ins with the law regarding her own drug usage. She was fined in Norway for illegal marijuana possession in 2007, but has never spent time in prison for any drug offense.

Lawmakers are holding an inquiry into cocaine abuse in Great Britain.

It seems Gloria Estefan will do anything for her jobless fans in Puerto Rico.

The Latin superstar bought some 2,000 tickets for her weekend concert in the U.S. territory and will distribute them by raffle amongst 17,000 government workers who learned they will be laid-off as of November 6, according to an Associated Press report.

Estefan bought all the remaining upper-level tickets - at $40 each - as a gift to those who were affected, said a spokesman for the singer. Officials have begun to distribute the tickets to various government agencies, which will raffle them off.

According to the AP, Puerto Rico is facing a $3.2 billion budget deficit and 15 percent unemployment. The government announced the layoffs in late September to help close the budget gap.

Tickets to the seven-time Grammy winner’s Saturday concert range from $40 to $125. So far, about 8,000 tickets are spoken for.

Madonna has accepted damages from a British newspaper that published pictures of her off-limits to the media wedding to Guy Ritchie that were stolen from her home, according to an Associated Press report.

The amount that Madonna got was not made public, but she did sue for damages in excess of $8 million, according to the AP. According to Madonna’s lawyer, the award will be donated to Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity.

According to the AP, the pictures were swiped by an interior designer from a wedding album kept in the diva’s Beverly Hills Home and presented to the London newspaper The Mail. The newspaper published the photos without consulting or warning Madonna.

Madonna had gone to great lengths to keep her December 2000 nuptials private. She and Ritchie were divorced earlier this year.
