Double downer
We hate to be such a downer -- we really are pie-eyed optimists, generally, or at the very least, glass-half-full kinda folk -- but there are a few bits of unpleasant news to share today.
Amy "Stash in my Beehive" Winehouse won't make it to the Grammys after all, depriving us of some sorely needed tension and suspense for Sunday night's show. After not being able to secure a travel visa to the U.S., the rehabbing soul songstress will reportedly keep abstaining from her potentially lethal habits, unless you count that jail visit to Husband of the Year Blake Fielder-Civil. (She's pictured here leaving one of his court hearings recently). Her gain, our loss.
The Oscars are running out of time. Out of time, ya hear? That's the somewhat desperate sounding message today from Academy president Sid Ganis, who was sounding so much more certain and so much less harried just a few days ago. Per Variety, he asked the WGA again Monday afternoon for a waiver for The Big Show. He's still waiting, and sweating.
We promise to dig up sunnier subjects for at least the next few hours.
