ENGLAND // SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH 2008 »Jay-Z and Amy Winehouse were the headliners for Day 2 of the 2008 Glastonbury Festival, an annual concert festival held every summer (except every 5th year) in England. There was a lot of controversy behind Jay-Z being a headlining act, since he’s a rapper, but apparently all of that got settled and I hear Jay-Z killed at the show!
American rapper Jay-Z answered his critics, notably Oasis’s Noel Gallagher, with a performance at Britain’s famous Glastonbury music festival that was received to rapturous cheers Saturday.
Striding on stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder, he led the crowd in a rendition of Oasis’s “Wonderwall”, smiling throughout, and with wife Beyonce Knowles in attendance, his set included songs such as “99 Problems”. [ READ MORE » ]
Our favoritest candid celebrity in the whole wide world Amy Winehouse (no seriously, there’s not one celebrity who takes better candids than her) was spotted in London. What the hell is that on her neck??
The paps caught a drunk, lost and confused Amy Winehouse outside of her England home last night. Apparently after her night on the town, homegirl had lost her keys and couldn’t get into her house. So a friend had to help her break into her own house by manually raising the garage. What would Amy do without those friends of hers…

And Jesus wept. Hard. Rapper Foxy Brown was photographed in church today kneeling and praying. I’m all for people turning to the Lord for strength and deliverance, but was summoning the paparazzi appropriate and even necessary? I think not. But meh, to each his own. If she likes it, I love it! I wonder what’s next on her list of things to keep the blogs talking about her.

British singer Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with impetigo, her spokesman confirmed to PEOPLE yesterday. It’s a bacterial skin infection that causes pimple-like lumps – and is “is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people,” according to the Mayo Clinic’s Web site. She’s currently taking antibiotics to help combat the disease.
“She’s fine,” a pal tells PEOPLE. “She’s not hiding away. She’s never been one to care what people think.” [Nah? Ya think?? -- Dustin]

Kanye West (photographed above) performs “Stronger” at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, held at the Staples Center last night in LA. Towards the end of the performance, recording artists Daft Punk made a special cameo appearance. The show featured a lot of performances, and even though we posted the majority of them throughout the night as they came in, a few slipped through the cracks. Here are the remainder of the photos that we didn’t get to post last night. More can be found after the cut.
AFTER BEING DENIED, AMY WINEHOUSE GETS U.S. VISA ANYWAY » The U.S. government has reversed its decision from earlier in the week and will be granting Amy Winehouse a visa for Sunday’s Grammy Awards. But the decision came a little too late, so she’s going to stick to her plan to perform live via satellite from London.
“Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be coming to the U.S. this weekend to perform at the Grammys in Los Angeles, however she will still be performing via satellite broadcast from London as previously announced this morning. Amy would like to thank all of those people, and in particular the staff involved at the U.S. Embassy in London, who have all worked so hard to expedite her application. She is very sad not to be attending the prestigious awards in person, but wishes to express her heartfelt gratitude to all of those involved in the process,” reps for the nominee said in a statement.
To combat her obvious drug addiction, Amy Winehouse has finally decided to make the decision to check herself into a drug rehabilitation center. The announcement came just days after the 24-year-old singer was pictured in British tabloid The Sun inhaling fumes from a small pipe. Police have launched an inquiry into the matter.
“Amy decided to enter the facility today [Thursday, January 24th 2008] after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors,” Universal Music Group said in a statement. “She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction,” the statement said.
Winehouse plans on going through the whole rehab process, and has every intention of performing at the 50th annual Grammys this February. As much as I joke and poke fun of Amy, drug problems are pretty serious, and we’ve all seen what they lead to … death. No one deserves to die like that. So on behalf of T2W, I’d like to offer my support to Amy in hopes that she realizes that her life and career are very important, and doing drugs isn’t the answer to solve whatever she’s going through right now. Get well soon, Amy!
Amy Winehouse, or Amy CRACKhouse as we like to call her, has a brand new video. No, it’s not a music video. And it’s not even a sex tape (I wouldn’t put you guys through that kind of horror!). It’s a video of her doing what she does best. Being a cokehead. Now, we all have known for a long time that Amy was a crackhead, but it’s sort of like walking in on your parents having sex. You know they have sex (how else would you be here). But actually seeing it with your own two eyes is “shocking” in a way. Poor thing. She looks a holy hot ass mess. Somebody get this girl some help, ASAP! This is what her friend, who recorded this video and released it to the media, had to say:
Amy is locked in a nosedive towards oblivion — she is killing herself. The video shows a woman completely out of control. Her family and her few real friends have begged her to pull herself from the brink many times. But here is proof she has pressed the self-destruct button. Her fans would scarcely recognise the drug-addled wreck in the video as the talented performer they love. We can only pray she will get a wake-up call when she watches the video herself and sees the terrible state she is in.
Amy is looking ill and dirty, and is so thin you wonder how much more she can take. She MUST get help.
Entertainment gossip’s favorite celebrity (well, at least one of them) Amy Crackhouse was arrested Tuesday in London in connection with an alleged $400,000 plot to fix her husband’s assault trial. A statement from the singer’ s rep said:
Amy Winehouse attended a London police station today on a voluntary basis at a pre-agreed time. She was arrested, but hat is common practice for someone being interviewed by police. No charges have been brought.
She was formally booked on a charge of perverting justice and has since then been released.

So when is Amy Winehouse gonna sit down to re-evaluate her career as a musician? Because lately, she’s been having more problems on stage, than off stage! And that says a lot, considering all of the things that have been going down in her life. One of the most recent though is the arrest of her husband, which is apparently taking a total on the troubled singer.
For the first time since her husband’s arrest, Amy Winehouse performed Wednesday night in the U.K. in a controversial comeback that resulted in her storming off stage after being booed by the audience, the BBC reports. Sporting a shiny silver top and short black skirt – paired with her trademark beehive – the 24-year-old slurred her words and was a little unsteady on her feet during the performance at the Birmingham Indoor Arena, but she did make it through her hits “Back to Black,” “Tears Dry on Their Own” and “Rehab.” The troubled chanteuse dedicated her song “Wake Up Alone” to Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in a London prison awaiting trial on charges of witness tampering. “This is for my husband,” Winehouse said from the stage.
As disgruntled fans headed for the exits, Winehouse reportedly announced: “To them people booing, wait ’til my husband gets out of incarceration. And I mean that.” Her closing number, a cover of The Zutons’ “Valerie,” descended into chaos when she stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage. “When she did sing she sounded phenomenal,” one fan, Zoe Giorgio, told the BBC, “but she was not ready to be up on that stage. She was so weak, so vulnerable.” The gig marked the first night of the headliner’s 17-date U.K. tour. In August, Winehouse canceled her summer shows amid reports of drug and alcohol abuse.
