    Searches on bedraggled singer Amy Winehouse jumped 167% this week after she finally checked into rehab. The tattooed trainwreck famous for saying no to rehabilitation in her hit single was convinced to give sobriety a shot after a rumored binge and resulting seizure.

    Looking for clues in her own words, curious folks sought out "amy winehouse rehab lyrics" (+102%). That spike is dwarfed by the surge in searches on "amy winehouse pics," which leapt an astonishing 2,214%. The imagery interest is due to photos on gossip blogs of Ms. Winehouse looking like a hot mess before she finally made it to rehab.

    After she landed in detox, searches on "amy winehouse in rehab" and "amy winehouse news" jumped. However, the beehived belter only lasted 48 hours in the facility before hitting the streets again. Her abrupt departure seemed that it would inevitably lead to another round of searches on "amy winehouse hospitalized" and "amy winehouse overdose." But in another (final?) chapter of this yo-yo yarn, addled Amy changed her mind yet again and is back in under care. Stay tuned...
