Oh, Amy, Amy, Amy.  The hits just keep on a-comin’.  *rimshot* 

Amy Winehouse had an exciting weekend.  Not only did she call singer Kanye West a nasty name for which her momma should wash her mouth out with soap for:

Towards the end of the set, the singer’s comments between songs became increasingly bizarre. Firstly she asked: “Are there any black people in the crowd? Where’s Don Letts?” before ‘Love Is A Losing Game’, then launched into a tirade about Jay-Z and Kanye West.

She said: “Let’s hear it for Jay-Z. The man has got bollocks to come here, and play the tunes you don’t even know you remember. Imagine if it was a c**t like Kanye West. ‘C**ts Like Kanye’ - that should be his next album title.”

But she also made an unwise decision to go into the crowd to sing her hit Rehab, and practically incited a riot:

The troubled 24-year-old singer, who has a long history of drug abuse, seemed to rain blows on the man as those surrounding him reeled back in astonishment.

Television cameras captured the incident, which happened after she had descended from the stage to sing her most famous hit, Rehab.

Crowd members claimed the singer lashed out in response to a derogatory comment about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, after she spent much of the show making slurring references to ‘my Blakey’. […]

Her publicist said she had reacted instinctively when someone tried to pull her trademark beehive hairdo.

Festival organiser Michael Eavis’s version of events was that the man had made a grab at Miss Winehouse’s breasts.

However, the alleged man in question has a different version of what happened:

James Gostelow, 25, from London, came forward today claiming he was was the fan struck in the head by the singer.

Mr Gostelow claimed she turned on him after someone in the crowd behind him threw a hat at her.

He came forward to clear his name after some reports said she was groped.

Mr Gostelow told the BBC he was that reveller - but he did not think Winehouse was aiming at him. […]

Mr Gostelow said it was not too sore but ‘more shock than anything else having got up early to see her then being hit by her’.

He said: ‘The crowd was going absolutely crazy, everyone was pushing and shoving but that’s part of it.’

Asked if he would consider contacting the police, Mr Gostelow said: ‘No, I would never want to take anything so far, and at the end of the day it’s all part of being at the front to be honest with you, and being crushed by thousands of people here at Glastonbury.

‘It’s part of the experience I suppose.’

Okay. First, I’m not even a famous person, but I’ve been to enough things involving famous people to know that for someone on Amy’s level of fame to descend into a crowd of people is sheer madness, bordering on lunacy.  In short, a very stupid decision.  She was practically at the end of her set, she knew the crowd was in a frenzy, yet she chose to climb down amongst them.  What did she expect?

Oh wait, I forgot…I’m thinking with a non-drug-addled brain.  My bad.

And for her to call Kanye West anything is just silly.  Kanye is definitely not one of my favorite people.  He’s arrogant, smug, and full of himself.  But the word Amy used was highly derogatory and she was out of line.  I mean, she shouldn’t be up there insulting her fellow musicians…it will come back to haunt her.

But what was with the comment to start with?  She’s basically calling Jay-Z a has-been and making fun of Kanye because he wasn’t there, as well as giving off a decided unfavorable vibe towards black people.  It seems that Kanye isn’t the only person arrogant and full of themselves.  I think perhaps Amy has let her fame go to her head, and she isn’t quite the common girl from Camden Town that she wants us to believe she is, for all her willingness to brawl in the dirt.

Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot, huh?  Maybe she just got tired of shooting up through her foot and decided to try something different.

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is finally admitting the real reason why he went to rehab…after saying he needed a “safe environment” to recover from foot surgery, it turns out that wasn’t all he needed:

“To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics,” Tyler told The Associated Press on Friday. “You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe (Perry) but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me.”

Tyler released a statement in late May saying he checked into a rehab facility in search of a “safe environment” to recover from several foot surgeries and physical therapy. Tyler said the procedures were to correct longtime foot injuries resulting from his physical performances as the singer for the blues-rock band.

“This was a month ago, so I just put the brakes on and checked into detox and just pulled the plug on all of it,” he told the AP on Friday night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, where he and bandmates were promoting “Guitar Hero 3: Aerosmith.”

Steven completed rehab in 1986, shortly before the band got their second wind which still continues today.

I don’t get it.  This is a very successful singer who enjoys fame all across the globe.  He knows that he has many fans, young and old, who look up to him and enjoy his music.  So why not just be honest and tell the truth from the get-go?  Not like some of us didn’t figure it out for ourselves…but that makes it worse, to be shown up in your half-truth after the fact.

It takes a lot of guts to go to rehab, and he should know that the eyes of his fans would be on him.  He could have not said anything, gone quietly away, and then come back and said, “Hey, I’m sorry I disappeared for a while, but I had a problem with painkillers I had to take care of, and I did…and if I can do it, so can you.”  He could have been an inspiration to others struggling with dependency.  Maybe he should start performing in flip-flops.

I can’t lay all the blame on Steven, though…he undoubtedly got horrible advice from his publicist.

Regardless, I wish him all the best in his continued recovery.

It’s been reported that the private school being founded by Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett have ties to Scientology. The couple are said to be dissatisfied with education option for their kids, so they started the exclusive re-education camp New Village Academy.

The trouble is, the school will use instructional methods similar to those developed by former sci-fi pulp writer and scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard. And “a few” teachers just happen to be members of the cult.

Spencer Pratt is out peddling his lil barely there career by calling out Mary-Kate Olsen who dissed him on the David Letterman Show while promoting her film ‘The Wackness’. Pratt hissed back by telling Us magazine: “I don’t really get why she’d use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one’s going to see.”

“She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me,” the Hills guy said. “I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman.”
