Wineheezy DENIED!


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.

66. Anyone who does filthy street drugs is a stupid fool. When she gets rid of those stupid ridiculous looking wingy things on her eyes, then I'll believe she's clean and sober. Why is this girl so afraid to be pretty? She's not a bad looking dame but that hair and makeup - not cute, clever, trendy. She looks like a mental health patient in all that get up. UGH Another one hit wonder.

67. How sad and petty this makes the US look to the rest of the world. I mean, come on. What are they trying to say: that there are no drugs in the US? She would have been under 24/7 medical care, as everyone knows. What are they scared of? Cowardly bureaucrats.

Forget the Grammy bore-fest now as well. It is pointless, when the talant of the year is blocked by small minded low life boggots at the border. A bad day for the US.

69. @6 you can't get a Visa Waiver if you have a criminal record, maybe also if it was work related she'd need another Visa for that.
I really don't care either way, we let so much crap in to this country in the form of Muslim terrorists who want to kill us why should I care about a druggie who probably doesn't even have to steal for her drugs?

72. Some people's comment are so retarded and ignorant... Fist of all... Illegal immigrants do not have anything to do with the US government granting a visa to a person that has been charged for posession. You think the US government will tell a millionaire that has been charged for posession... "Yeah... you can come in here because we let mexicans enter illegally everyday anyways... so It doesnt matter... one more felon to the bag doesnt make a difference... and it is okay for you because you have money." I dont think so!
Second... When you go get a visa, no matter who you are or where you are from, they do a background check ... and they see that you do or do not have any convictions... what makes you think that just because a student wanting here is from Arabia or Pakistan means that they are terrorist! Come on! And maybe some are or plan to be... but at least they didnt appear in camera smoking crack!! They didnt have past convictions so that is why they were granted a visa. It is like hiring someone with good reference... you still wont know they are going to be good employees. But is it your fault if they end up stealing from you? Nope! .
Regardless of what the crime is... it is illegal. That is what can't be allow in the US, So... because there are murderers in the US, we should let some killer come here? That is ridiculous! Same as saying that there are drugs here anyways!
When you apply for a Visa Waiver you have to sign that you are not a felon and also she comes to work, she needs a work Visa. If she comes with a tourist visa and works, then she may get deported and unable to enter the US for a longer period of time.
