Amy Winehouse put under "house arrest"

Amy Winehouse has been put under "house arrest" by her record label after admitting that she does not take rehab seriously.

The singer recently told Rolling Stone magazine that she had never made a genuine attempt to beat her addictions, despite checking into a clinic earlier this year.

Winehouse's bosses have now set up 24-hour security around the star's home in a bid to protect her from bad influences.

"Effectively, Amy's been put under house arrest," a source told The Mirror. "She is being monitored by 24/7 surveillance to make sure she's behaving herself and keeping out of harm's way.

"There is also a security guard stationed outside her house around the clock to vet any undesirables. From now on there'll be no more waifs and strays - or fans - coming into her place, wreaking havoc.

"Crucially, they don't want known drug dealers coming anywhere near her. Amy has to give them names of people expected. Anyone who turns up uninvited will be sent packing. It's for her own good."

Amy recently checked out of the London Clinic, where she received treatment after being diagnosed with the early stages of lung condition emphysema.
