amy winehouse denied us visa shock, no grammy appearance

Well who knew…it’s a shame that this young lady’s career seems to spin all over the map yet at the same time her daily mishaps are more fun to follow than Britney Spears‘. Anyway get caught on video smoking what appears to be crack, go to rehab, fail to get US visa.
Amy Winehouse Denied Entry to U.S. From the NYT the Lede blog -
In a decision sure to reinvigorate joyful riffing of the line she’s sung most famously, the American embassy in London said “no” once — not thrice — to a troubled British soul singer’s request this week to visit the United States. From Billboard magazine: Amy Winehouse will not be on hand for the Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 10) in Los Angeles, after her visa application to enter the United States was rejected by the American Embassy in London.
(When American diplomats mention “three no’s” they are usually talking about Taiwan, not the lyrics to “Rehab,” her infectiously hooked single in 2007.)

Her one true branded strongsuit was her hair.. Honeycomb black. Then she goes and dyes it blonde. BAD IDEA and imo the sign of a plane going down. Her blonde hair also really shows the crackhead side of her.

looks like she\’ll be performing by Satellite… well that should make it easier to hide the coke in her shirt sleeve I would think.

I am outraged that her visa got denied. My tax money at work again. That entire London embassy staff should be fired.

I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. I can’t get a Visa either - she should just use her debit card.
