[UPDATE: There are conflicting reports as to why Amy lashed out. Yesterday one of her reps said a fan tried to grab her hair. Today the NY Post reports a rep from the concert claiming a fan tried to grab her breast. I don't see either, do you?
Plus, Amy is back in the hospital today.]
Didn’t take long did it? Here was Amy Winehouse’s follow up act to yesterday’s celebrated performance: cold cocking a fan in the jaw at a show in Glastonbury.
As you can see from the video below, at first Amy throws a pretty unconvincing elbow, then she thinks about what she’s doing for a second before a light goes off telling her it’s time to unleash a fury of (terrorist?) fist jabs.
Reports indicate the fan was trying to grab her hair.
But the funniest part of this sad display isn’t Amy but her backup singers, who stay with the rhythm despite their lead singer being off pitch and slurring the words to what will probably be her last hit song.
AND, as if that wasn’t enough, while introducing the Glastonbury concert’s headliner, Jay Z, Amy also managed to call Kanye West a “cunt,” telling the audience they should be lucky because, QUOTE, “Imagine if it was a c**t like Kanye West. ‘C**ts like Kanye’ should be his next album title.”
With his porcelain-like ego, look for Mr. West to blow another gasket in the next few days.
On the other hand, with this outburst Amy Winehouse became John McCain’s new favorite singer, so she’s got that going for her.
AMY’S BACK! WITH SOME COLOR AND A NEW TUNE

Meaningful Distraction is glad to see that Amy Winehouse is back on stage doing her thing.
By accounts she rocked the house as part of a kick off event for Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday extravaganza.
Looking much better than the last time we saw her, the 24 year old sang before a crowd of over 46,000 that she still doesn’t want to go to Rehab.
And WOW, sad: Lark noted her fainting last week, but things evidently aren’t “fine.” Early signs of emphysema?
(from Mail Online)
…And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!”
My girl lark may double back on this story about Amy Winehouse’s little racist sing along/public sex/drug fueled night of debauchery, since celebrity self-destruction is more her forte than mine.
All I’ll say about this is:
If you watch one thing today, WATCH THIS! It is so fucking distrubing I can not even give it words. Someone please get Amy some clothes. Send her to rehab, yes, yes, yes! And while you’re at it, save those poor mice.
