Brit Rocker Offers Duffy Psychiatric Help
- Posted on Jan 12th 2009 12:00PM by Melinda Newman
Duffy would like to make one thing perfectly clear: she has not had a nervous breakdown. But the burgeoning Welsh superstar and three-time Grammy nominee just might if the rumors floating around about her collapse don't stop.It all started last fall when, she says, a Welsh journalist asked her about her holiday plans. "I answered I was having a nervous breakdown. I said it in jest," she tells Spinner. However, the comment hit the wires and she's been clawing her way back to the sanity she never lost, one day at a time. But at least she can comfort herself that others are truly concerned about her welfare. "Just today, some British rock legend rang my manager and left a voicemail that they had someone who could help with that -- a really good therapist."
She wouldn't tell us who the "British rock legend" is. We named David Bowie and Paul McCartney. She swatted both down and gave us the clues: "in a band" and "a genius." Let the guessing begin.

There is no such thing as a nervous breakdown. Ask your friendly neighborhood psychotherapist, etc. They simply do not exist. Maybe pushed to the edge but never over.

I bet the "British Rock Legend" is Simon Le Bon..
In other interviews I've seen him mention that Amy Winehouse needs someone "to look after her"...
Maybe Mister Le Bon is planning to build a Rehab for birds?? -tweet tweet!

it's not Paul McCartney , as was sugested, b/c he doesn't have a band any more ---such as Wings. Adn ditto for Bowie.

It isn't enough that guys these days think it's cool to have their pants hanging barely above their rear ends, now the guy up for a grammy has his pants hanging below his boxer shorts. It looks so corny and ridiculous. Normal women do NOT find this sexy at all. They should remember that woman love a man in a uniform, and next to that a tuxedo. They should get some hints from Usher, who always looks sexy and like a gentleman. If they want to attract the loser women of the world they should continue with their nutty concepts.
