Video - Amy Winehouse Stumbles Through Show – Cancels Remaining Concert Dates and Enters Rehab

Here we go again. Poor Amy Winehouse.

It seems the troubled rock star singer is back on drugs.

Last week in Serbia Belgrade she tried to perform on stage but was so wasted that the crowd booed and heckled her.

A fellow band mate had to remind her what song she was singing and ultimately had to sing it for her as a spaced out Winehouse looked around in confusion.

The video below shows a stumbling Winehouse stopping, and then restarting her show and arguing with her band.



Embarrassing to say the least.

You can tell she is wasted and can’t understand a single word she is mumbling.

By the way, Amy’s handlers are trying to get all the Belgrade videos removed from the internet so there is a chance the above clip will become unavailable.

Earlier this month her reps say Amy checked into rehab at the Priory Clinic but checked out after staying only seven days. You know, the “Charlie Sheen” rehab method.

After news of her disastrous drug fueled performance in Belgrade got out, her team quickly pulled the plug on two of her upcoming European shows saying,

“Amy Winehouse has canceled appearances in Istanbul and Athens for the coming week. Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home. She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.”

After returning home the news got even worse.

Apparently her “Management Team” felt the singer was unfit to perform any more and cancelled the 11 remaining shows of her European tour saying,

“Amy is withdrawing from all scheduled performances while she focuses on recovering. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen,"

While no reason was given for the cancellations, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

After all, it is Amy Winehouse.

Video - Nicki Minaj Releases New Music Video for “Did It On Em”

The music career of pop singer Nicki Minaj seems to be on an upward trajectory.

After being discovered by Lil Wayne and getting a record deal with Young Money Entertainment, she released three hit singles – “Playtime Is Over” in 2007, “Sucka Free” in 2008, and “Beam Me Up Scotty” in 2009.

Now Minaj, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, is already planning her summer tour with the infamous Britney Spears.

Her 2010 album “Pink Friday” has already gone platinum, and was the first artist to ever have 7 songs on the Billboard 100 at the same time.

Now she has released her official music video for “Did It On Em”. And it is a bit of a mind blower.

Nicki raps about taking a s*hit on her enemies, and at one point says if she had a d*ick she would pull it out and piss on them also – all while wielding a strap-on dildo.

Interesting to say the least….

After release the video Nicki told her fans,

"Just a way of saying thank u. I love u guys. Thank u for coming out. U guys gave me LIFE on the 'I am still music' Tour. xo4Life."

Minaj has become somewhat of a controversial artist and her sexuality has been called into question by several reporters.

While not admitting to being gay or bisexual, she told “Out” Magazine,

“I do not date or have sex with women, I don’t date men either. I just embrace all people of all lifestyles and I don’t tell them they are bad people. And I say girls are beautiful and girls are sexy and they need to be told that, and if they don’t have anyone to tell them that and mean it, I’m going tell them that. But I feel like people always want to define me and I don’t want to be defined."

Minaj has won several BET Music Awards and been nominated for a “Teen Choice Award”, “MTV Music Award”, and a Grammy Award for best rap duo.

Miley Cyrus Does Nirvana’s ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ During Ecuador Concert – Video

Miley Cyrus sure is growing up.

Once the darling of Disney with her cute smile and famous father, the singer was the classic all American Girl.

Her show “Hannah Montana” portrayed her as a pure and wholesome teen struggling through the life of fame, and her movies are all family orientated and kid friendly.

Well, we all know how that worked out.

She has been seen sliding down a stripper pole, grinding the crotch of her manager, smoking a bong and tripping on salvia, and who can forget the Vanity Fair photos of her and her dad in some unusual family poses.

But Cyrus is a big girl now and is currently on the road with her “Can’t Be Tamed” tour, and last week in Ecuador she paid homage to Curt Kobain and the grunge era by singing “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.

Miley said she has a lot of fans ask her who inspired her to become an actress and singer, so she decided to perform songs from people who had inspired her to follow her dreams.

Did you hear that Courtney Love? It’s not too late.

Justin Bieber Brings Bully Victim Casey Heynes on Stage During Concert – Video

Being bullied himself is something Justin Bieber has talked about before.

In fact last week he was pelted with eggs at one of his shows.

And last year he had a run in with a bully during a paint ball outing where the police were called.

Bieber says he was also bullied in school because he was good at sports and his classmates hated him for it.

But last night during his concert in Melbourne Australia, Bieber brought bully victim Casey Heynes on stage to thank him for standing up to his aggressor and for showing courage during the press fiasco that followed.

For those of you who don’t remember Casey, he became an overnight celebrity last month when a YouTube video surfaced of him body slamming his young attacker to the ground.

When we first heard that Bieber was going to have Heynes on stage we thought it was a nice gesture. But we had no idea of the effort the singer’s management team and Channel 9 put into the making it all happen.

The following video is an interview with Channel 9 Network’s “Current Affair” where both Casey and Bieber are interviewed by Ben McCormack.

It’s amazing to see a young celebrity focus so much attention on a subject when he could just as easily do his show and move on to the next city – injured back and all.

We suspect that this is why Bieber has become such an inspiration to teenagers around the world. Here is a kid who is not afraid to hang out his own dirty laundry in an effort to change the global perspective on issues.

After all, at one point or another we have all been bullied and decided to look the other way. I can only imagine what I would have done as a teenager if I had a stadium of 20,000 screaming fans as a platform to air my problems.

Maybe this kid really is smarter then we adults give him credit for.

Way to go Justin – this is why they love you.

Justin Bieber Injures Back Wakeboarding in Bali – Remaining Tour Dates In Question.

Seems like Justin Bieber did more than put on a great show in the rain in Bali last week.

While out on a boat with friends and fellow tour member Alfredo Flores, Bieber injured his back wake-boarding.

Bieber took to twitter saying,

“Crazy 24 hours of travel...back is messed up....but we are smiling. We finally made it. AUSTRALIA we are here. Brisbane Leggo!”

After his show he posted,

“back is in ALOT of pain but incredible show tonight. BRISBANE was #BEAST - Australia is about to be a party the next 2 weeks”

Bieber is in Australia finishing the last five shows on his My World Tour.

After Justin saw a back specialist, the doctor insisted that the teen sensation cancel his Brisbane concert. Bieber did not agree and performed anyway. He is next due to perform Thursday, April 28 in Sydney.

A back specialist told us,

“The type of injury from wakeboarding needs rest to heal. If he performs he runs the risk of exacerbating the condition and making it worse. If it gets better he should be alright, but if it gets worse than he may have no choice but to cancel to prevent permanent damage.”

Fortunately, Bieber only has a couple of more shows before he is back in the United States for a little relief from his touring schedule.

After returning to Atlanta, Bieber plans to start work on his third album expected for release in late fall.

Justin Bieber Covers Edwin McCain’s ‘I’ll Be’ At Jakarta Concert and Cries – Video

Justin Bieber might be starting to grow up.

At least that’s what fans in Jakarta Indonesia thought Saturday night while watching his My World Concert Tour.

Because the stage is set up differently on the Asian leg of the tour, The Biebs was not able to float over the audience during his acoustic set in his metal, heart-shaped space ship.

Instead, Bieber and lead guitarist Dan Kanter sat on the stage under a single spotlight and belted out a few of their favorite acoustic tunes.

One in particular, Edwin McCain’s “I’ll be your crying shoulder”, has not been heard by the teen sensation since he was twelve years old belting it out on YouTube.

In fact, this was Bieber’s first chance to show his fans what it sounds like now that his voice has dropped. And by the response of the fans – they loved it. And by the time it was over - Justin was crying.

It also took guitarist Dan Kanter totally by surprise as he tweeted after the show,

“Tonight ON STAGE during the acoustic set JB called out "I'll Be" by @TheEdwinMcCain. Good thing I knew how to play it from @jonahkanter”

From Indonesia, Bieber travels down under to Australia for five shows in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Charlie Sheen Warned Not to Smoke on Stage in Toronto or Face Arrest and Fines

Poor Charlie Sheen.

Earlier today he was chastised by the Warner Bros lawyers for talking about returning to “Two and a Half Men”, and now the Canadian Smoking Police have issued him a stern warning about smoking on stage during his show tonight.

Massey Hall and Toronto city regulations prohibit smoking cigarettes while on stage. Since Sheen is an “on stage” chain smoker this could be by far the hardest show he has ever done.

Ontario Health Promotion Minister Margarett Best said public health inspectors will be watching to make sure Sheen doesn't smoke on stage at Massey Hall during his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” show.

Sheen, one of the stars of the cancelled television show “Two and a Half Men” tweeted on Wednesday that he was looking forward to "winning" with Torontonians.

Good luck with that.

Lady Gaga’s Mother Joins Her on Tour to Keep Her Sober?

It looks like Lady Gaga is getting a new companion on her tour bus.

Gaga’s real life mother, 56-year-old Cynthia Germanotta, told reporters that she has grown concerned about her daughter’s health while she is on her “Monster Ball Tour”.

Cynthia says she is determined to make sure that Gaga doesn't fall off the wagon after she became ill on the road last year from drinking too much.

"Her mum thinks she drinks too much and doesn't eat enough. She has gone along to keep an eye on her boozing and feed her up."

Lady Gaga, whose stage persona can take on a very strange appearance at times, is known to work hard to keep her weight down. She works out every day and recently told X17 Magazine,

"I am on the drunk diet, I live my life as I want to, creatively. I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I am working. But the deal is I've got to work out every day, and I work out hung over if I am hung over. And it's about the cross-training and keeping yourself inspired. I have to say, I do a ton of yoga."

Yea, that sounds pretty healthy to us, and an exceptionally good way to be a role model to all your little monsters.

Is Justin Bieber Tiring of the Fame and Fortune? Friends Say He Is Growing More and More Frustrated

Even good things can seem bad when there is too much of it too fast.

This is what some insiders are saying about teen sensation Justin Bieber and his meteoric rise to fame.

But some people close to the singer are starting to quietly come forward telling of a young man growing increasingly frustrated at the world of celebrity stardom.

Bieber’s biggest complaint?

No privacy. He is followed now by two body guards every place he goes and there is security outside his door while on the road in Hotels.

“People are ALWAYS around him. Changing his close, messing with his hair, taping microphone wires too him, move here, stand there kind of thing. When he moves around, he always moves with a team of people”.

They also say Justin is growing tired of having his mother, Pattie Mallette, around twenty-four hours a day.

“Justin is starting to grow up and is not happy having his mother shadow him while at home and on tour. He feels that he is old enough to venture out on his own and it makes him feel like a little kid when his mother is always around. He thinks it might not be cool for a kid his age to hang around his mother as much.”

Justin is guided through every step of his waking day by managers telling him about everything from what to eat, what to wear, when to sleep, when to work, and what to say. He feels like he has become the very thing he has told is fans he is not – a machine created to sing and make money for the people around him and a music producer’s record label.

“He feels like he has lost a lot of control and everything he does is now about keeping the image, and the machine, moving forward. People book things on his schedule months in advance and he has little time to just relax and be a kid. He travels almost %100 of the time”.

His biggest fear is getting sick and not being able to perform because he doesn’t want to let anybody down. He knows on any given day there may be a hundred people earning their paycheck from the “Bieber Machine”. Overseas trips are the worst as somebody on the team is always getting sick from the 5,000 mile flight.

“He is also tired of all the scrutiny in his life. In the beginning everybody thought he was gay, and then when he started dating Selena Gomez everybody wanted to kill her!”

Bieber tries to play the role of “I’m just a kid who sings”, but now that he is seventeen he is starting to see that those days are gone and that his celebrity status is going to follow him a long time wherever he goes. He is starting to see the payoff for his success – and that payoff is not having much of a normal life.

And contrary to what he has told every interview host, he does get tired of the screaming girls - and frequently wears earplugs in public to drown out the noise.

“They are always screaming. You can hear them outside the hotel at 6:00 in the morning and at 11:00 at night. Every time he gets out of a car he has to be rushed by a crowed that is screaming at him. It gets old. At first he was great with it, but now you can see it in his eyes – he is growing tired.”

But somehow we suspect that Bieber will find his inner strength and push through the drudgery. Not everybody gets this chance to live out their dream – and we’re sure he realizes that as well and is enjoying the good more than he is hating the bad.

Justin Bieber Cancels Remainder of His World Tour – Developing

Justin Bieber fans were in shock today when the teen heart throb announced that he was cancelling the remaining dates on his world tour.

No details were given other than a statement from his Twitter account saying:

“How could you do this to me? I’m done. Sorry to all of the people that were planning on coming to the world tour but it has been canceled.”

We suspect, however, that this is a cleverly disguised version of an April fool’s prank.

Bieber, no stranger to pranking his fellow teammates, seems to be trying to shock the world into a frenzied panic.

As if we don’t have enough problems already?

Last month, Bieber got a hold of his guitar player’s phone and tweeted that he had been fired and would no longer be playing with Bieber on his tour. Funny.

Relax world. The tour is not cancelled. It was an April fool’s joke.

Justin Bieber Stuffs His Bus For Christmas - Video
