The United States State Department has denied Amy Winehouse a visa to enter the U.S. to perform at this year’s Grammy Awards.

After the decision came down, her publicist issued the following statement: “Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery.”

The State Department went on to say that in order to perform she would need to cross over the Mexico-U.S. border in Arizona in the back of a tomato truck if she so desired to attend the award show.

It sucks for Winehouse because she is nominated for six Grammy’s.

You can watch her smoking crack here.

It has taken several years but Delilah DiCrescenzo is finally giving Plain White T’s singer Tom Higgenson a date.  DiCrescenzo is the inspiration behind the band’s fictional song ‘Hey There Delilah’.  DiCrescenzo will attend this years Grammy Awards with Tommy Boy.

Delilah DiCrescenzo, 24, the Olympic track hopeful who inspired song-of-the-year nominee Hey There Delilah, will accompany Higgenson, 28, to the Grammys.

The two met through a mutual friend. Higgenson wrote Delilah to impress his new crush, but she wasn’t interested, and the long-distance romance depicted in the song is fiction. The single went to No. 1 in Billboard last summer. It’s up for best pop performance by a duo/group and song of the year.

Now she comes off sounding like a bit of a gold digger.  She didn’t give him a date for years and still didn’t even when the band made the radio charts, but now she will give the poor guy a date because they are nominated for a Grammy Award.

Celeb wreck Amy Winehouse received six Grammy nominations yesterday for her album Back to Black.  2007 has been a year of extreme highs and depressing lows, literally, for Winehouse and husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

“She’s good,” says Ronson, 32, who produced much of Winehouse’s record-of-the-year candidate, Back to Black. “I called her today because the record was something that we went through together … Hopefully she will get into America so we can celebrate.”

(The singer’s October pot bust in Norway could cause her visa difficulties. She’s now appealing the charge.)

It’s always great when you have a song called ‘Rehab’, you’ve been busted for drugs and drunk tirades, and then to have your record producer quoted as saying he can’t wait to get you to America so you can celebrate.

Bad choice of words buddy!

Winehouse is very talented and the nominations she received were some of the more deserving ones that were announced yesterday.

The American Music Awards took place last night in Los Angeles. The big winners were former American Idol stars Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry.

Grey’s Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl was censored at the 59th Annual Emmy Awards as she was awarded ‘Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series’.

Heigl mouthed another expletive, which Fox unsuccessfully tried to evade with a different camera shot.

Katherine is not known for holding her tongue but she should have known all of the cameras would be on her.
