R&B/Pop star Amy Winehouse was hospitalized Monday (Jul 28) for a reaction to medication but was expected to be released by morning, according to a representative.

According to spokesman Chris Goodman, Winhouse was rushed from her London home to University College Hospital.

"Doctors have advised that she will be kept under observation overnight and is likely to be released tomorrow," read a statement released by Goodman and U.S. publicist Tracey Miller.

This is the second time in little over a month that Winehouse has been in the hospital. She was admitted to a London clinic in June after collapsing at home. Any the time, father Mitch Winehouse said she had developed early stage emphysema from smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine.
