Amy Winehouse's blood alcohol level was five times the legal driving limit when she died. Rob Pattinson wants Taylor Lautner's body. Lindsay Lohan's Playboy photoshoot "went well." Wednesday gossip alternates between sexy and sad.
- The coroner's report is in: Amy Winehouse died of "death by misadventure." Apparently "death by misadventure" is an official death designation in England? "The unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels (of alcohol) was her sudden and unexpected death." Her blood alcohol content was five times the legal driving limit, which means all those reports about Amy dying of alcohol withdrawal were actually written on Opposite Day. The report notes that, at the time Amy's body was discovered, her bedroom was scattered with empty vodka bottles. [HuffPost, image via Getty]
