Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this years MTV Video Music Awards, it has been confirmed.  A rep for her record company says:

In a continued effort to support Amy Winehouse’s well being, in addition to the postponement of her U.S. tour, all other U.S. appearances have been canceled.

Winehouse is currently vacationing with her husband in the Carribean.

This sucks because she was probably the only performer I really wanted to see.  Plus, she could give Britney Spears a run for her money in the trainwreck department.  But since she has talent, unlike Spears, her problems are considered glamorous and romanticized instead of just being sad and pathetic like Spears.

Britney Spears’ former manager Larry Rudolph has finally been subpeonaed by KFed’s lawyers, in the custody battle between her and Kevin Federline.  Rudolph, who went into hiding to avoid being supeonaed, said he did not want to get involved in the dispute and wanted to avoid giving damaging testimony against Britney.   He was served in West Hollywood outside of Sunset Tan.  While in hiding he said:

I have consulted with my lawyers and I do understand that eventually the time will come when they will find me, but until then, I’m trying to avoid being brought into this mess. She’s going through so much right now and I wish Britney the best.

He also admitted that what he has to say “would not be good for Britney”.

As far as I can tell, they only got the Britster on bad dental hygiene for her kids and poor eating and sleeping habits.  Hell, if you can get custody taken away for that, then I know loads of families that would be in deep shit.

In other Britney news, it’s reported that she makes about $737,868 per month!  No wonder Kevin wants more custody; he’s trying to get his hands on more cash.  How is it possible to still earn that much, when she hasn’t worked in like…5 years?!

Kevin’s lawyer’s want Britney to pay Kevin’s legal bills which exceed $40,000.

Here is the reported single for Britney Spears’ comeback album “Gimme More” and another new track called “Cold As Fire”.  First of all, it’s nice to see that Britney is going for more uptempo songs instead of wallowing in her unhappiness.  Secondly, if these really are her songs, then I don’t think this “comeback” will be much a success.

Check it out for yourselves!

When I first heard he was in a serious accident, I actually felt bad for Nick Hogan and the rest of his family.  But as more information emerges, I find myself hating the little twerp, and his overly permissive parents.  Take for instance this interview he did with Rides magazine before his crash.   There are a few gems in it, such as calling his cars pussy magnets and admitting to his reckless speeding and street racing.

Wow, these must break necks when riding down Ocean Drive.
The yellow Supra and yellow Viper are pussy magnets for sure. I mean, the green and the silver appeal more to men, ’cause a guy knows what he’s looking at and will drool over it. But girls see the yellow, and panties start dropping off.

Uh-oh. Looks like someone has a story to tell.
In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, “I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.” Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, “Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket.”

Do you race the other members of Team Hogan?
We always go out and run each other. My sister definitely can’t keep up, especially with the busted rear bumper [points to a dent on Brooke’s Expedition]. My mom has a V12 Mercedes-Benz 600. My dad’s pride and joy is a ’68 Charger; it’s got 800 horsepower.

Looks like him, his parents, and the stupid cops that let him off for excessive speeding have some answering to do.  Too bad his “friend” had to suffer the consequences–then again, he did choose to ride in the car with Nick “Punkass” Hogan-Bollea, or whatever his name is.  It must suck knowing that he survived 2 tours of duty in Iraq only to be possibly done in by that little cunt.

Amy Winehouse’s father-in-law, Giles Fielder-Civil, is calling on her fans to boycott her album, in an attempt to get her off drugs.  Fielder-Civil told BBC Radio 5 that Winehouse and their son, Blake Fielder-Civil are addicts and need to get help.

Georgette and I both believe that they are drug addicts, and they don’t believe they are,” Giles Fielder-Civil told BBC Radio 5 Live this morning (August 28). “I think they believe they are recreational users of drugs, and they are in control, but it seems to Georgette and I that this isn’t the case.

He also asks fans of her to send her the message that her behavior is unacceptable by boycotting her albums.

Perhaps it is time to stop buying records.  It’s a possibility, to send that message.

Winehouse’s own father, Mitch Winehouse disagrees however, and says the Fielder-Civils have not made a great effort to help the two kick their habits.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Toni Braxton is secretly battling breast cancer. Braxton, 40, who is currently starring in her Las Vegas stage show, is rumored to be undergoing radiation and chemotherapy after she received the diagnosis two months ago. A family friend says:

Toni is a fighter. She initially thought the worst, but doctors assured her the prognosis for her breast cancer is excellent. She still has moments when she gets upset and she may cry a little bit - but those moments don’t last long.

Doctors are reportedly injecting her with an iron infusion twice a week so that she will have the energy to perform in her Vegas show.

If this is true, it is amazing she can even perform while undergoing her treatment. Hopefully she will make a full recovery and release another album with Babyface at the helm. Seriously! Toni Braxton and Secrets were hot shit.

Lily Allen embarassed herself after she tried to snatch the mic from reggae singer Bobby Kray during his set at the Notting Hill Carnival on Monday. Allen, who appeared to be stumbling and drunk made her way to the stage and tried to take the mic from Kray and then pushed him off stage. A spectator says:

Lily looked very drunk and was talking in a bad Jamaican accent. Then she just pushed him off. He wasn’t happy. He grabbed the Guinness from her and threw it over her head. Everyone cheered and she ran off embarrassed.

Serves her right. If I was him I would have kicked her ass. Actually I wouldn’t, but I probably would have gone all Pumkin on her and spit in her face. Eh…maybe I wouldn’t do that either. His response seems reasonable enough. She was just acting like a spoiled brat.

Call logs for 911 emergency service confirmed that Owen Wilson attempted suicide on Sunday.  The New York Post reports that Wilson may have tried to take his own life after a heated argument with a close friend.  They also report that Wilson has had a history of depression, so that might have factored into it as well.

Wilson is currently recovering at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and released a statement yesterday asking for privacy and time to heal.

Yeah, I’m still shocked.  It’s always the funny ones that are depressed.
