It’s Official: Amy Winehouse Won’t Be At Grammy Awards
February 7, 2008
Watching the Grammys won’t be nearly as fun as it ought to be — the official word has just been released that Amy Winehouse will not be performing at the event.
It’s not due to lack of trying.
“Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony,” reads the official word from her U.K. publicity firm, by way of MTV News. “The singer has been invited to appear at the event on Sunday after receiving an amazing six nominations for the prestigious awards. Unfortunately, her application for a visa to enter the United States of America has been rejected at this time by the American Embassy in London.”
It’s a shame, really. She’s bound to pick up at least an award or two at the show.
This isn’t the first letdown for Americans when it comes to Ms. Winehouse; she had to cancel her U.S. tour after spending some time in the hospital for what was believed to be drug-related issues.
Nonetheless, the Grammy Awards will be held sans-Amy on February 10.
Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens: The Final High School Musical Countdown
February 1, 2008
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron will be playing Gabriella and Troy one more time in High School Musical 3, but after that, there will be no more.
If three movies and out is good enough for I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream, and X-Men, it’s certainly good enough for the HSM franchise. But we’ll miss seeing Zac and Vanessa onscreen together nonetheless.
“This is going to be the farewell to the East High Wildcats for a while. Senior year, graduation, this movie is the climax, it’s the third act, this is the legacy that we leave on East High,” Efron said in an interview with MTV . “I think it’s going to be a good way to go out with a bang.”
Efron insists that working on the HSM movies is still fun for him, even if he does have bigger Hollywood projects on the horizon. And it’s not exactly like it’s the last time he’ll see Hudgens.
“We really became best friends during this project, the whole cast. It’s like not even work. We just have the time of our lives out there,” Efron confessed.
Gwen Stefani Is Pregnant: #2 With Gavin Rossdale
January 29, 2008
Love is in the air — the baby-making kind of love, at least.
Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale are having baby number two, and it looks like it was Gavin’s dad who spilled the beans.
“They and the whole family are delighted,” Douglas Rossdale told People Magazine.
At the present time, only the grandpa is blabbing the news publicly. Reps for both Stefani and Rossdale have remained tight-lipped about Gwen’s pregnancy.
And this is one doodle that she has no intentions of having undid — the singer has been quite open about her desire for another baby.
“Obviously I’m in a race to have another, but I don’t want to do it while on tour,” she told InStyle magazine last year. “But I can’t wait to get pregnant again. It’s so fun and consuming and romantic.”
