UPDATE: Entertainment Weekly reports Amy will perform at the Grammys -- but via satellite.
Uncle Sam does not, not, not want Amy Winehouse! TMZ has learned the cracked-out singer will not perform at this year's Grammy Awards because her visa has been denied.
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."
No word on why the visa was denied, but perhaps this, this, this and getting caught on tape allegedly smoking crack might be to blame.
Winehouse, who has been in and out of rehab, also canceled a slew of tour dates this year.

That blows. I wanted to see Whiiiinehouse make an ass out of herself.
I SHOULD PUT HER ON THE SAME TEAM AS BRITNEY, MADONNA, TOM CRUISE,AND ALL THE BALDWIN BOTHERS.
WTF?????SHE NOT DEAD EITHER???HMMMMM???
While I am no Winehouse fan, this is ridiculous. We have illegals coming in every direction to our country, we have men bringing over mail order brides to try them out, but we can't let a musician come perform? What is going on with our government?
Priorities Amy, Priorities!
If these 'celebrities' would focus on their real problems instead of putting fame first maybe they all wouldn't be ending up in rehabs and psych wards!
Another drug addicted entering the US,? No thanks. We have enough with the Britneys and the rest of Hollywood "elite". They are all a bunch of drug lovers and are a pain in the a___. we don't want more. Enough is enough.-
I don't see what the big deal is. She can't be any worse than any of the people who have "issues in hollywood now.
Some of the comments on here must be from little kids who haven't a clue what they are talking about. You should go outside and play with your toys and not spend all day on your computer posting childish rants.
Tie her and Brit to a traintrack..sit back with a brew and wait for the freight train
They wont let Amy in...but they keep letting all these wanna be terrorists in. The applications accepted for arab students has doubled since 911....go figure. Your tax dollars hard at work
I'm disappointed that she won't be performing at the Grammys, but this lady has talent that is way bigger than a single night of awards. I'm looking forward to her being around for many years so we can appreciate and enjoy her voice and song-writing beyond 2008. Her music is addictive. She's way more attractive in person, by the way. We will wait for the clean and sober Amy to re-emerge and celebrate the talent! Hopefully, she'll leave the loser husband behind though.
Amy- you don't need the USA anyway- bunch of fat mall freaks.
I saw you at the Roxy in LA last year and you rocked!
Take care!
Ta!
The Bush administration is behind this? Ah, pot, meet kettle? Bush is a drunk and a druggie and they need 3 days to sober up his sagging, patrician ass before he dazzles with one of his 7 minute speeches in the Rose Garden and the Feds won't issue Amy Winehouse a Visa? Appalling.
Are you kidding me????? I've seen street walkers look better then her! Who in the hell is she anyway???? If this is what our youth have to look up to, then we are in serious trouble!
