That'd be quite a successful night for Amy Winehouse then - not so much that she won five Grammys, but more that she turned in two performances for prime-time US TV without screwing up. Watching the performances, though ( they're on the DailyMotion ) there is a rather nagging question: where did that audience come from? Who were they? Did they have to pay $300 a head to be there? Winehouse took five of the awards she'd been nominated for , but didn't get album of the year. Herbie Hancock did, to an audible intake of breath round the world. A jazz album ? Surely some mistake?  read more »

Rolling Stone sent a writer to tag after the ever-troubled Amy Winehouse earlier this month, and after an early-morning vigil outside the singer's door, Claire Hoffman was invited inside, where she was greeted by the news of Winehouse's racist singalong, along with "discarded bags of potato chips, crumpled nuggets of tinfoil, beer bottles, lingerie boxes and scattered old credit cards."  read more »

Dave - which is the name that UK TV G2 is living under as part of a witness protection programme - has been at the Edinburgh Festival in order to present an award for "the funniest joke of the festival". Surely Dave should be presenting an award for the funniest joke of last year's festival, but then present it again, and again, and again?

It's gone with a topical gag about Amy Winehouse. This might seem odd, as you might think that a topical joke will date very, very quickly indeed and it would be pointless to try and preserve it for posterity. But if you do think that, then, clearly, you're not in Dave's target audience.

It's an oddly specific saying, but it seems as if Amy Winehouse has taken it to heart. The perpetually frazzled singer will play The Rani, "a rogue Time Lord," in the season (or series, if you're British) finale of Doctor Who, the beloved BBC show that's kind of like Star Trek, but with more sweater vests.  read more »

It's not just the streets of Britain which have become a godless place, apparently - The Sun reports a Glasto crimewave : CRIME more than doubled at this years Glastonbury Festival, police figures revealed yesterday. By last night there were 489 reports of crime among the 170,000 festival-goers, including drug offences. The shock number compared to 236 reported crimes at the three-day music extravaganza last year. Cops said this was because there were more tent thefts, trying to put a happy face on it: Sergeant Carolyn Crocker said last night: Despite a challenging festival in terms of thefts from tents, 99.7 per cent of festival-goers will return home having not been victims of crime.  read more »
