Too Late For Wino

Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse

It's a "no go" again!

Even though the U.S. reversed their decision and agreed to grant Amy Winehouse a visa late Friday to come and perform at this Sunday's Grammy Awards, the singer has wisely opted to stay in London.

She will, however, still be performing live via satellite.

Her publicists have released the following statement:

"Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be traveling to the U.S. to perform at the Grammys in person.

Amy would like to thank all of those people, in particular the staff involved at the U.S. Embassy in London, who have all worked so hard to expedite her application. She is looking forward to being a part of the 50th Annual Grammy Awards with her Sunday night performance and to going back to the U.S. soon."

…and now that the keystone kops have finished stumbling all over themselves, she's supposed to hustle her team on to planes with 48 hours before the gig

Is it just me or does she look like a post op transexual trying to look like Sarah Jessica Parker? I saw a picture of this chick before the drugs and she was really hot. It's ashame she let herself go.

Without the makeup and goofy hair, along with the tattoos, she would resemble Sarah Jessica Parker.

Christina Aguilera = Best Voice In The World Today says – reply to this

36

She's a great singer, but better than Christina Aguilera?! No way. If what you say is true and she beat Christina Aguilera, that is just so wrong. Her voice is good, but not that good. Christina is a legend. She makes Celine Dion sound like shit, along with many other people. Christina is the best voice of our generation.

I think it is a good idea for her to stay, when you're in any kind of healing process its better to stay in it because its very easy to relapse if you get out of that setting. And about the beehive, that thing is massive! I would love to see a video of the making of that thing!

47

she has gross legs and the shorts she is wearing in that other picture look filthy…..she and pete doherty should hook up and be filthy addicts in harmony……i wonder if she is one of those who go visit peoples homes and rummage through the cupboards looking for random prescriptions
mia says – reply to this

48

Yay. She doesn't belong in a performance event while she is sick. It is SICK of everyone who encourages this satellite performance. I doubt her doctors prescribed this pressure during her current phase of treatment. QUIT BEING SELFISH and let this girl connect with real life as a normal non celebrity girl. If you want her well, BACK OFF!

Re: jdog – its not arm hair…if you didnt notice its only on one arm and theyre scars from when she used to kut her self do to depression! from a distance it does look that way though. sad to see she could be that depressed to scar her self so bad but i know first hand how that is.

thank goodness she can't come over here to smoke crack in the dressing room at the grammys and have an onstage meltdown like Brit at the VMAs.
civil-parker says – reply to this

57

She doesn't need to go to the united shits. Her talent doesn't need that. Stay home girl. where music is appreciated and where your inspiration lies. Go there and they'll suck the life out of you. They haven't produced anything new in years.

England is where music is at and you know it!

i'm keeping my hopes up. maybe it's a stunt! maybe it'll be the surprise ending to the show…Amy Winehouse comes out of no where, live in LA, when everyone thought she would be performing via satellite. it could happen! love you amy, these haters wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass.
Boner says – reply to this

Unreal that this dumb bitch continues to waste the resources of the great USA with her bullshit. The uber talented nasty faced fuck needs to choke on her crack pipe and be done with once and for all. Fuck you amy winehouse Ill download your CD illegally you cracked out whore.

I think most people that bash Amy Winehouse are fat, white, trailer trash with bad taste in music. Probably bitter, fat, oldy moldies that listen to Clay Aiken and bash gay people.

Re: OVERRATED – you think she's overrated? think again, she's up for 6 grammys so some people think her music is worthy of more than a nod…I'm so tired of listening to shit crap rap and the rest of the crap…Amy sings from her soul…you might not agree, I know you don't and you know what? I don't give a shit…NO NO NO!!

They probably listen to overeditted pitchy Rhianna. Bitch cannot sing. At least Amy Winehouse can hold a tune.

Rhianna is terrible. I hope she doesn't win anything. She cannot sing at all either. She's so editted. She is the worse singer I have ever seen live. She's terrible. Amy, at least, can hold a tune.

I can almost bet you 1000 dollars she will show up. Last night I saw a commercial for the Grammys with the promo that Amy was performing via satellite, 30 minutes later another commercial without mention of Amy but promoted "a very special surprise performance." Eh with the exception of Valerie her songs are merely okay in my book.

Re: Boner – Tell me Boner just how is Amy wasting " great USA resources" Boner I would love to see your face in "real life" not hiding behind a monitor and talking shit like 75% of the people here…So many people lie lie lie and what for? to make themselves feel better b/c they're ugly and 400+ pounds and live at home with mama….

SO out from hudung behind your monitor- lets see how pretty YOU are…who gave you the right to judge the looks and talent of others…All of you need a reality check…Life is not PerezHilton, life is outside interacting one on one with real people not a holes hiding behind a monitor… so go go go and get a life.

Amy's gonna win big at Grammys,then all you haters will have egg on your faces. Check out her video "Stronger Than Me". That's the real Amy. You'd look bad too,if you did a Britney inspired 5 night awake pill popping bender. Grow up!

What a good message to show to the kids and teens who worship this junkie. Getting special government treatment from embassys is just flat-out wrong.

Again, she's nothing special, besides having a unique voice. Take that away, and what talents does she have? Hooting the fuc|{ out of a crack-pipe? Snorting coke? Come on already. Preferential and favoritism to celebrities needs to stop and stop now.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
