Dr. Drew says Winehouse reached out to him - msnbc.com

LOS ANGELES "Rehab" singer Amy Winehouse, who died at the age of 27 in London last week, tried to enlist the help of celebrity recovery expert Dr. Drew Pinsky in the days before her death, the "Celebrity Rehab" host told Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM on Friday.

Speaking to morning-radio personalities Kevin and Bean, Pinsky revealed that the deceased "Back to Black" chanteuse attempted to reach him for help. Or, at least, that's what infamously unstable "Celebrity Rehab" vet Janice Dickinson told him.

"Believe it or not she was trying to contact me which was weird. Janice Dickinson told me that," Pinsky recalled. "I remember getting calls from Europe and thinking, 'What the hell is this?"'

During his interview, Pinsky also disputed the account of Winehouse's death that the singer's parents offered to the media.

"Just this morning, her parents put out some type of news release that suggests that what they believe she died of was alcohol withdrawal, which is a very interesting little theory," Pinsky posited. "It's wrong, it's not what she died of, I can virtually guarantee you."

In cases of fatal alcohol withdrawal, Pinsky said, "You get really really sick and you seize, and you become encephalopathic and confused, and your heart becomes erratic, and it's not like you just drop dead like her parents are suggesting."

Winehouse was found unconscious on Saturday in her London apartment by an ambulance service, which was unable to revive her. Authorities described her cause of death as "unexplained."

The fame-driven couple just picked up a Beverly Hills rental house for $20,000 a month. The white Colonial looks remarkably similar to another white house they crashed in 2009. Although the Salahis first had their dose of fame on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C., they became a household name when they went to President Obama's first state dinner at the White House in November 2009 , apparently uninvited. Since then the two have still sought the spotlight with Michaele attempting to get on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and rumors of another reality TV show in the works. According to TMZ , the couple decided that relocating to Beverly Hills is a necessary move in their strategy to climb the celebrity ladder. Rather than spending a few million to buy a
