Saving Amy Winehouse

Mary J. Blige wants to help Amy Winehouse through her drug problems.

The Grammy-award winning singer is a huge fan of the 'Rehab' star and has
revealed she will be there for the 24-year-old if she ever needs someone to
talk to.

She said: "I have things to say to Amy Winehouse - loving things and things
she will be able to relate to."

However, Mary admits Amy - who was recently filmed smoking what appeared to
be crack cocaine - is not quite ready to seek professional help for her drug
addictions.

Mary, who has battled her own drugs problem in the past, said: "I don't
really think she can hear me right now, because when I was in a situation
like she was in I couldn't hear people either."

The 'No More Drama' singer says she only realized she needed to get help
after seeing the effect drugs had had on her body.

She said: "I did drugs, I did a lot. I did things, not just weed, but beyond
that. I'm too strong to get hooked on anything now but at that point I think
I was hooked.

"Then one day I saw my reflection and I said to myself, 'Gosh, I look bad.'
That's when I really knew I needed help."

Mary's new single, 'Just Fine', is released on January 28.
