Paper magazine is reporting that US customs has denied Boy George’s visa into the country. It looks like his tour may not go on. The Culture Club singer says “I’m pretty devastated because I am so excited about this forthcoming tour and having my visa application denied seems unfair after I swept the streets of New York spotless. There are a number of public figures who are openly using drugs and they have no problem with immigration and I have seriously turned my life around and I feel great right now and this is just another reminder of how bad things were. I committed a crime and I happily paid the consequences and I should be allowed to move on and get on with what I do best and that is performing and making people dance and cry!”

Amy Winehouse’s turbulent marriage is looking shakier than ever as she gears up for her big Brits performance tonight.

The singer missed a crucial awards show rehearsal on Monday after learning that her jailbird hubby Blake Fielder-Civil was trading her signed pictures for hits of heroin. Distraught Amy thought he was swapping the snaps for cigarettes from other lags in London’s Pentonville Prison.

Her friends believe his sordid deals have pushed her “closer than ever” to ditching the junkie loser. A Brits source revealed: “Amy was supposed to rehearse on Monday, but didn’t show up after she discovered Blake had been trading pictures of her for drugs. It’s a real shame she wasn’t there for the rehearsal. Everyone got really worried. It’s sad Blake has sent her into turmoil again just before her big night. She’s been working so hard to get her head together for this.”

So is divorce on the horizon?

Has it all got a bit too much for Blake? Amy Winehouse’s junkie husband narrowly cheated death after a drugs overdose in prison. The question is – was it a genuine accidental overdose, or was it a suicide attempt?

Blake Fielder-Civil was rushed to the jail’s hospital block when he collapsed in agony after taking what he thought was heroin. Guards found the 35-year-old writhing in pain and vomiting violently in a cell. They instantly set off alarms and activated emergency procedures to save his life.

A probe was launched and prison officers found he had taken a drug believed to be heroin, mixed with a toxic substance. A jail source said: “This was a close call, but he might not be so lucky next time. If he carries on taking so many drugs, he’ll end up dead before long.”

There are several things being said about Britney Spears being released from Cedars-Sinai. They say that she no longer posed an imminent threat to herself. A source says that “It is very difficult to keep a patient in a psych ward at a hospital for longer than 24 to 48 hours. Even if you have tried to commit suicide (which Brit did not do) you are released as soon as you are no longer a threat to yourself… Brit is no different than other mentally ill people. After being admitted and given meds they are released if they are not a suicidal threat to themselves or others.”

Despite a letter from Mom, Amy Winehouse isn’t ready to pack up and head home just yet. Instead, she vows to keep on moving forward.

Amy’s rep says she’s set on making it to the Grammys. “Amy is thrilled to be nominated for six Grammys and is very much hoping to attend. She is determined to be ready and well for that performance.”

Amy has endured a lot in her mere 24 years of life. Her husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently in jail, and she’s already had to cancel her shows for the rest of the year as she gets herself back together. Her rep says she is under physician supervision has been writing a lot. “It’s a really difficult time and she’s been channeling it into her music.”

Wow…good for you, Amy. It’s your own self-prescribed rehab.

Amy Winehouse parties so hard during tour that her tour manager just can’t hang with her anymore. Thom Stone has reportedly quit as her tour manager because he is worried about that Amy is ruining his health. Haha, we all knew this was coming and let me tell you fans out there who think she might be able to claw back, this is only the beginning and there are more lows for her to come. Winehouse disappointed fans that were anxious to see her at the opening night of her U.K. tour in England, on Wednesday. Many of the anxious fans were so pissed at her lackluster performance that they walked out mid-show and demanded a refund. Just as I said there are more lows from her to come and she really is headed the Britney way, lackluster music and bad performance, dipping ratings and a complete trainwreck that’s what she is headed towards.

Pop wreck Britney Spears has become so unreliable that her video shoot for ‘Piece of Me’ has been canceled. The video production team had already prepared for a no-show by Britney and hired a stand in during rehearsals–and possibly for the actual shoot itself. yeah I don’t believe her camp neither…especially since they gave 100 excuses why she failed the drug test and none of them could be the closest to the truth. We all know that Britney is not working these days all she is involved in is her custody case and that’s on top of her agenda right now. Whether she manages to win the custody or part custody or visiting rights does not matter at all. She has been reported to driving with the kids time and again and breaking rules at will. SO if she cancels a video shoot is not at all a surprise to me. When she will be able to come out this wreck situation is not one that we all can sit and predict. Her album is doing well but she not.

Just days after a video of him leaked showing him shooting up on heroin, and even fewer days of him saying that he was going back to rehab, Pete Doherty was spotted out and about on Saturday. That’s right, you heard it. He’s NOT in rehab.

The rocker who’s been given too many chances already showed up to a court in London on Saturday to lend some ‘moral support’ to Amy Winehouse whose husband got arrested for allegedly trying to fix a trial.

I highly doubt she needs that kind of support from that kind of person Pete. But I do believe both of them need to go to rehab.

Scottish singer K.T. Tunstall has vowed never to take drugs after watching the downfall of troubled star Amy Winehouse. The Suddenly I See hit maker insists she’ll never be tempted by illegal substances after viewing recent photographs of Winehouse covered in blood with husband Blake Fielder-Civil following an alleged drugs binge. They all say this kinda thing….just before all the nastiest come crawling out of the closet. Secretly I think all these singers and celebrities have taken drugs at least once even if it were to have a taste of things or to get high to vent out the anger in them. I think KT too knows what drugs are like and has this inner feeling that if someday she falls prey to drugs and gets addicted to drugs them it could harm her career very badly to the extent that making a comeback thereafter would be hard. Look at Britney, she is making so many attempts to resurrect her career but its been bombing at every attempt.

Country singer Mindy McCready has joined the list of jailed U.S. music stars after violating her probation on a 2004 prescription drug fraud charge. The “Ten Thousand Angels” hitmaker has been sentenced to serve a year behind bars in Florida. McCready was handed two more years of probation and 200 hours of community service. Now will someone just think what state the celebrity scene is like today, everyone, just about everyone of these so call stars are facing some kind of charges against them. And what about the prisons in America, there are so many culprits already in their jails and with these celebrities also joining their ranks, is there enough space in these jails to house them with proper amenities. Forget amenities, they should be dumped there in a cell were there are other prisoners as well so living with some of those people will give them an idea that the next they do not want to do anything that brings them back to a cell.

That’s the question everyone in the world including celebrities and fans are asking of Britney Spears, that couldn’t she manage to put one stage performance something that she is know to be strong at, just more time. You want the truth? The Honest truth? Pains pills and/or prescription medication. That’s likely what went wrong. Depression, Post Partum Depression, Pipolar Manic Depression. Britney Spears is almost assuredly mentally ill and her substance abuse is simply an attempt to cover it. She’s an emotionally unstable wreck, propped up on medication just to pay the bills of all the handlers/parasites/enamels that are leeching off of her to the tune of $700,000 a month. This is just like Anna Nicole. It really, really is. Much like Lindsay Lohan, Britney has to get into some fairly serious trouble with the law, without killing herself or someone else in the process. It’s really the only chance she has left. She’s severed ties with all the people who actually care about her and are only listening to her handlers, who continue, of course, to insist to her that nothing’s wrong. At least Lindsay still listens to her family. Britney won’t. This is sad. And tragic. Very tragic

She needs to stop making excuses about her idiot boyfriend and get away from both him and the drugs. Long ago I have said that the regulators of music industry need to put a brake on the work that these music artist and movies stars do on an year to year period. At times they are not working for years on the trot which is good like a much needed break. But when they are set to release an album and they start with the promotions that’s the time when they are exhausted like Amy was reported to before she checked into the rehab. In other words I think exhaustion today is a synonym for drugs. They need a stress buster and drugs work well for them. Look at what state she is as of today, she can’t give a live performance. But since she is a star singer she is being written about. Why doesn’t someone pick her up and dump her in the garbage tin outside her own house and get her thrown away at a remote destination. So by the time she walks back home some of that exhaustion is turned into legs paining.
