Wino flutt á sjúkrahús eftir að hafa þornað upp ( so 2 speak )

Amy Winehouse was taken to the hospital in St. Lucia, the Caribbean isle she's been staying at for months, her spokeswhore revealed on Saturday.

The reason?

"Dehydration".

Uh huh!

Says Wino's publicist: "She fainted at home (in St Lucia) and they took her in for observation, mainly to do with her medication to check everything was OK. They told her that she was dehydrated and needed to drink more water."

Ames had been "running around" with a group of children before she passed out, he said.

Wino is expected to perform at a jazz festival in St. Lucia this coming week, if she's feeling better.

And, in some good news for the perpetually troubled singer, her spokesman confirmed that Winehouse has obtained an injunction banning paparazzi taking photographs outside her London home.

Photogs are barred from following or approaching her within 100 metres of the house.
