Amy Winehouse Proves Again That Rehab May Not Be Enough

As is clear from this photo taken during her post-rehab debut. (Maybe it's Crystal Lite.) Anyhow, Amy sounds great in this live clip. Just kidding. Though we can't blame the sync issues on Amy.

By Golly, Winehouse Won't Play Grammys After All

Amy Winehouse's Visa was denied. Again. So no Grammys for her this Sunday. Is anyone beginning to think that maybe Amy Winehouse is not very dependable? The singer cancelled shows (including gigs with the Rolling Stones, and a headline spot at the V Festival) in August. She cancelled apperances at the VMAs in September and the Woodie Awards in November. She scrapped a European tour in December. How about promoters stop booking her? She's just gonna cancel, and then you'll have to replace her with Rilo Kiley. Psst, Mark Ronson: it was gonna be boring anyway. (UPDATE: Hallejulah, etc.)
