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.

hmmmmm....we will allow terrorists to come into this country but not Winehouse??? WTF?? I travel a lot back and forth between NYC and London and let me tell you, a LOT of the passengers are three sheets to the wind and get in without issue. I think she is being singled out (unfairly) for her problem. I say let her in for 48 hours, do her business, and leave. Where is the harm in that?
What Would Xmas Be Without Warrants Served In Annas Death:
Personally, I'd rather look at pictures of Kirsten "Dunce" right now. Get on it, TMZ.
The same thing happened to Kate Moss and she was free to travel to the U>S>
What a weird decision
Does she have razor stubble??? Man she makes herself so homely looking....Put a few pounds and get off the drugs...please. That's just nasty
Pardon me but who is this Loser AMY WHINEHOUSE,Just another one of Life's Losers
HAHAHAHAHA, GOOD. I HATE AMY CRACKHOUSE. STAY IN EUROPE, UGLY!!!!!!!
I AM SOOOOOO PISSED!! I AM NOT WATCHING THE GRAMMYS BECAUSE OF THIS!! I WILL TELL EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER TO BOYCOTT THE GRAMMYS!! SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMERS THERE!! EVERYONE SUCKS. I LOVE AMY, SHE IS MY IDOL, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T CAN GO F!@# THEM SELVES.
HATERS! P.S. ENJOY YOUR BORING ASS NO TALENT GRAMMY SHOW.
A life of drugging is not cleansed in 2 weeks of rehab!! GIMMEABREAK!!!
This chick definitely does not care about herself, why should we? What a poor excuse for a human being with exceptional talent I would not want my kid watching her perform on the Grammy's. If these Celebs want to waste their lives away as society we should let them, but don't give them any air time (TV, Mag, Trash Mag, Internet etc...). I'm up to my ears with these idiots.
there is not enough room,traffic cops or papps for both AMY and BRIT,so they just had to make a excutive decision.:)
This is good. It is really hard for 'normal' people to be allowed into the US with any drug conviction, it is good that celebrities now have the same issues as what other people do, although I am wondering about the situation of George Michael. Anyway, anyone who has ever been arrested needs to apply for a visa to the US, and if you've been convicted for drug related crimes, no visa probably for the rest of your life. It's been this way for at least 30 years.
She needs a Posh Spice makeover..Doesn't Amy want to look stylish, pretty and bathed?
NOW THAT IS ONE FUGLY BITCHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
