Amy Winehouse -- Don't Call It a Comeback!

Amy WinehouseNo, really -- don't call it a comeback.

Amy Winehouse just -- quite predictably -- canceled her comeback show in London. She was scheduled to perform at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on May 31.

Amy's management released a statement apologizing to anyone who bought tickets for the show. No apology needed though -- they should have known what they were getting into when they bought the tickets in the first place.

Rihanna Postpones Malaysian Concert

Rihanna Citing "recent events involving Rihanna," event organizers in Malaysia have postponed a concert she was scheduled to perform at this week.

Reps for the show were quick to point out that the concert scheduled for February 13 is not canceled -- but rather Rihanna's people will come up with a make-up date sometime in the next two weeks. The show in Kuala Lumpur drew heavy press after Rihanna agreed to conform with Malaysia's strict rules on performers' outfits.

As we first reported, Rihanna is the victim in an allegedly brutal attack involving boyfriend Chris Brown.

Usher A family emergency caused Usher to 86 his performance at a pre-Grammy party last night -- and one report claims it's because his wife is in trouble after having cosmetic surgery.

Music bigwig Clive Davis announced at his Pre-Grammy Bash that Usher's cancellation was due to a "serious injury in the family" -- and according to Access Hollywood, his wife Tameka had "experienced complications from plastic surgery" in Brazil.

Kim Basinger Bow-Wows Out

Sabrina Sloan and Alaina AlexanderKim Basinger has been dogged by press and paparazzi since TMZ posted her ex-husband's barking voice mail, and perhaps that's why she had to uncollar from a committment to a pooch charity event.

Kim was scheduled to host the 6th Annual "Nuts For Mutts" Dog Show and Pet Fair near Los Angeles this past weekend, but was a no-show. Grr.

The event still had some star support minus Kim -- some good 'ol "Idol" castoffs! Sabrina Sloan and Alaina Alexander were both on hand to provide some leggy love for their four-legged pals. Woof.

Kim's reps were not available for comment.

NBC Cancels 'West Wing' After 7 Seasons

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The new president on "The West Wing" will be a real short-timer: NBC announced Sunday it was pulling the plug on the Emmy-winning political drama after seven seasons in May.

NBC, struggling to regain its footing after the worst season in its history, also outlined several midseason schedule changes including the moves of popular dramas "Law & Order" and "Las Vegas."

"The West Wing" announcement wasn't much of a surprise. Although this season's story line with a presidential campaign involving a Democrat played by Jimmy Smits and Republican portrayed by Alan Alda has been strong critically, ratings have sunk with its move to Sunday nights.

The decision to cancel it was made before actor John Spencer, who played former presidential chief of staff Leo McGarry, died of a heart attack Dec. 16, said Kevin Reilly, NBC entertainment president.

"There's a point when you look at the ratings and say, it feels like it's time," Reilly said.

The series finale will be May 14, preceded by a one-hour retrospective. The campaign to replace the fictional Josiah Bartlet as president will be settled, NBC said.

Producers Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme, who created the show and guided it through its early years, will not be involved in the finale, Reilly said.
