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.

Good For Uncle Sam. Anyone that s blatantly and publicly using illegal substances should not be allowed into any country except their own. The grammy's Should not have her peforming. While she may be a talented singer, she is a drug addict. Drug addicted and law braking celebrities sould not be put before the public to desensitize the public, so that this insane behaviour we keep seeing more and more of is exceptable!!!!!!!
