US ban Winehouse (http://uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/article.html?a=/090309/340/ii5ex.html&e=l_news_dm)

Amy Winehouse will be unable to perform at next month's Coachella Festival after American authorities turned down her visa request.

The singer was expected to make her return to the live stage at the event in the Californian desert in April.

However, US officials are said to have rejected her application after it emerged that she has been accused of attacking a fan.

Winehouse visited an undisclosed police station on Friday, following an incident at a ball in Berkeley Square in London last September.

A spokesman for the singer said today: "She is not appearing at Coachella this year in the light of current legal issues."

However, Amy is expected to perform at a special show to mark the 50th anniversary of Island Records in May.

She will take to the stage at the last of a series of concerts, playing London's Shepherds Bush Empire.

The gig, on May 31, will also feature Toots & The Maytals, while Paul Weller, Keane and Cat Stevens also due to appear across the six-night celebration.


Her US heroin dealer was seen crying uncontrollably at the news.

Sometimes she manages to pull off looking "normal" but mostly no.

Normal for what, a drag queen?  My apologies to any drag queens that I offended.

I can't believe she's still alive. She makes Britney seem normal.

I think they were just trying to protect us from her Super Herpes taking over America.

Well, they tried to make her go to rehab but she said, "No, no, no."

Keith Richards said she's out of control:

"Mind you, that girl isn't going to be around long unless she sorts herself out pretty quick. Amy's got to get smart."

--Keith Richards (http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-535148/Keith-Richards-Amy-singer-I-rate-wont-long-unless-cleans-act.html)

How freaking upside-down does your world have to be for THAT to be your reality? When you give Keith-freaking-Richards pause, you're up Shit Creek.

She's a permanent fixture in any "death pool".  Seriously, this woman (for lack of a better term) makes Courtney Love look like June Cleaver.

you don't need to worry about that!

Those are mostly self-inflicted wounds too.

So would I. It's amazing that she looks so bad and is so young. That shows you what a hard, drugged life does to one. Can you imagine how bad she'd look if she ever lives to be as old as Joan Rivers? Now, that's really scary..  :-)

Check out this video at Youtube for her music video "Rehab" (oh the irony!  :lmao: ).     Video can't be embedded, so you'll have to go to the link (at your own peril :p )

I have never heard the girl sing.  She's probably more famous for being a human trainwreck than for having any actual talent.

Then check out the link I posted... she does have talent, but its going to waste because of her dabbling in drugs and other indecent behavior.

Edit:  I like this song even more than Rehab.... 

"Love Is a Losing Game."

Ugh, no more boring pop tarts from that show, PLEASE! :puke:  (I hate American Idol these days... they all sound alike to me... no true originality anymore, since its just another pop tart factory...   :uhsure: *dons flame-retardant suit as she is a bitter Melinda Doolittle fan*  )

I don't think anyone here is going to disagree with you.  :fuelfire:

If I wasn't for my Pandora station, I wouldn't listen to music at all.

Meh, I have my mp3 player and list of YouTube favorites to keep me happy.  I've yet to try Pandora out, though...

I wanted to listen to some Buddy Holly one night, so I set up a station for it.  I get Ricky Nelson, Bobby Darin, and Chuck Berry, with a few Ritchie Valens songs sprinkled in.  I love it.

The White Castle on Thompson Lane plays old country songs... Charlie Pride and Glenn Campbell.  I'd go there every day if I could afford to buy new pants.

If your pic looked like that (and thank God it doesn't, Miss Hotness), you' probably be one step away from an overdose death.
