Seriously, this chick provides hours upon hours of entertainment.

Fresh from her hospital stay, Amy Winehouse headed to the Glastonbury Festival to perform for the 80,000 attendees, when a face in the crowd reportedly rubbed her the wrong way.

According to the Associated Press, after singing her hour-long set, Amy climbed off stage and threw a punch at a fan! Witnesses say that the singer was provoked, as the fan had tried to grab Amy, but still, isn't that what fans do? Don't they try and touch the people on stage?

In other Wino news, the singer made it to the concert honoring Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday earlier in the weekend and managed not to hit anyone there. Amy reportedly sounded good during her performance, and she honored her man, "Blaaaaaake Incarcerated", by wearing his name in a heart in her hair.

Yup. His name. In a heart. In her hair. Like I said -- hours upon hours of entertainment.

Amy Winehouse fainted in her London home today, but was, luckily caught by her assistant's manager, who was able to catch the singer before she hit the ground. Amy was then taken to the hospital to get checked out.

"She quickly recovered and her father Mitch took her to hospital as a precaution," Amy's rep said of the mess' loss of consciousness. "Doctors are unsure of the cause of the incident and Amy is currently undergoing tests."

It looks like Amy may have to stay overnight for observation, which can only be a good thing for the troubled singer. Maybe they'll force her to eat something and she'll get in a shower.

Quite the fashion statement. Oy vey.

Maybe Amy Winehouse was hiding a little somethin' somethin' in that hair of hers.

According to Britain's newspaper The Sun, Amy is no longer allowed normal visits with her jailed hubby, Blake Civil-Fielder, after he tested positive for drugs in London's Pentonville prison. If Amy chooses to see her hubby, who is believed to have had heroin in his system, the messed up couple will be separated by bullet-proof glass and will not be allowed to have any physical contact. Blake is currently awaiting trial over assault and trial-fixing allegations.

Do you guys think Amy, who's having a tough time of her own trying to get sober, slipped him some goodies during a visit? I can totally see how they could pull it off with all that hair. Where else could she hide it, though? She's way too skinny to camouflage it anywhere else on her body. Maybe in her red bra? Who knows -- I shudder to think about the other possibilities.

tara reid mess.jpg
Tara Reid is one of my favorite hot messes. Primarily because she was so fine with getting absolutely wasted on her now-defunct travel show, Taradise.

Well, Tara continues to party it up -- and come crashing down -- as the actress took a bad spill in Bali this past weekend. Tara was allegedly treated at a local hospital for cuts and bruises after a wild night out. X17 reported that she “fell accidentally while out late at night partying” and was treated at a hospital before returning to her hotel to recover.

Tara's peeps, naturally, say, "no, no, no" -- she didn't go to the hospital, although pics of her with scratches on her knees and elbows have surfaced.

Her rep never said she didn't get fall-down drunk, people! She just said she didn't go to the hospital. Actually, I'm surprised that, given Tara's recent weight loss, she didn't completely break in half when she hit the ground.

... Ryan Cabrera?

Do you remember Ryan Cabrera? He was Ashlee Simpson's boyfriend before she started dating Pete Wentz and the other boy from her band? He had that pop hit "On the Way Down" and Ash was the girl in his video? He was like a squeaky clean, teen hearthrob, making pre-pubescent school girls swoon?

Anyway, he's now dating Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, Riley Keough, but, more importantly, he's turrned into a freak! He sort of reminds me of that terrible Cisco Adler.

I guess it doesn't really matter, because he's hardly famous, but I just had to share my disappointment in his new choice of looks. It's like if Lance Bass decided to go Goth. It just wouldn't work.

If it's disturbing for us to see what a mess Amy Winehouse is, imagine what it must be like for the people who actually know and love her.

Amy's mom, Janis Winehouse, wrote a letter to her troubled daughter, published in News of the World, urging the singer to come home, where she could get help.

"This letter is my way of making sure that you know that all you have to do is come to us, Amy, and we'll do everything in our power to get you well again," the distraught mom wrote. "After all, you are still my baby and you always will be. We want to help you, but we know that unless you want to be helped – unless you come to us – anything we tried would be in vain."

Amy, who was just nominated for six Grammys, was seen last week wandering the streets of London, at five in the morning, wearing just a bra and jeans.

"Wherever you are, whatever you need," her mom continued in the heartbreaking letter, "we're here for you day and night. I hope you know that."

Let's hope Amy reads the paper and goes home for the holidays.

I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news.

I guess if you had tickets to see Amy Winehouse and, by some chance, were going to get a coherent performance out of the constantly out-of-it singer, then it's disappointing that she has canceled all her remaining 2007 tour dates. But it's more likely that you would have caught Amy perform in some sort of crazy haze, where she walks off the stage mid-concert -- so take the refund and be happy.

"I can't give it my all onstage without my Blake," the "Rehab" singer wrote on her Web site, of her recently jailed hubby. "I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly; I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same."

Amy's record label would like you to believe that her doctor ordered the end of the tour. "The rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll," they said in a statement. "In the interests of her health and well-being, Amy has been ordered to take complete rest and deal with her health issues."

Amy's husband, Blake Civil-Fielder was arrested earlier this month for allegedly trying to manipulate a witness in his upcoming assault trial and was denied bail. Amy needs to concentrate on visiting him in the slammer and hiding a nail file or two in the gigantic jungle she calls her hair.

what happened to Tara Reid.jpg
Rehab watch! Check out this photo of hot mess Tara Reid -- girl is in desperate need of a sandwich. A big one. A hoagie. Look how skinny her legs have gotten -- and she totally has that lollipop head look that Star Jones got from having that gastric bypass surgery. Not that I'm saying Tara had that -- she's always been thin -- but she is looking like she's been partying way too hard, and not eating much more than a carrot stick or two.

Something is up -- and it can't be good...

Amy winehouse booed.jpg
I often wonder why people like Amy Winehouse bother. If she hates performing for a crowd then why doesn't she just sing in the shower?

The troubled singer, who has been known to spit on her fans, was at it again, after fans booed her shaky slurfest she called a performance. Amy is having a rough go of it, as her husband, Blake Civil-Fielder, has just been arrested for witness tampering, but I have a hard time feeling bad for a couple who has brought the majority of their problems on themselves. I'm probably not the only one lacking sympathy, as some of Amy's fans got fed up with her shoddy concert and ran for the exit. According to the BBC, the singer called out to them, saying, "To them people booing, wait 'til my husband gets out of incarceration. And I mean that."

Um, what does that mean?

Amy's bad attitude continued as she performed her last song, a cover of The Zutons' "Valerie," when she suddenly stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage.

Nice. Get help.

I don't know anything about British babe Katie Price (aka Jordan), but I'm obsessed with her. She's a bigger hot mess than Courtney Love and Pamela Anderson rolled into one. And I don't even want to know what she's doing with this blowdryer.

Hot Mess of the Day: Kelly Osbourne
While I was on vacation last week, my friends and I ate at this beautiful restaurant, right on the beach, in Cabo San Lucas (our chairs were actually in the sand). All was going great until a very scary clown showed up to make balloon animals and hats for the patrons. He was terrifying -- he looked very similar to the way Kelly Osbourne looks in this photo.

I'm just saying, if Kelly ever needs a gig -- and can make an elephant out of a balloon -- she could have a job in Cabo.

Who was working the door at the Chanel Fashion show during Paris Fashion Week today? They should be fired for letting Courtney Love in.

What the heck has happened to her? Her new face and body terrify me. Terrify!

Madonna Channels Her Inner Britney Spears
Although I think I'm stylin' today in my new green dress (you can see it later in Daily Blabber TV), I'm not loving Madonna's look in this photo, which was taken today outside at Cecconi's restaurant in London.

Here's why: When I first looked at the photo, I thought it was Britney Spears. It must be the hair and those pink shades, not the stick-thin body. (Not that I think Britney is fat.) And speaking of the body, Madge is in amazing shape, but she is so darn skinny. It makes me a little uncomfortable. Her outfit itself is fine -- it's just the teenie bopper look from the shoulders up that is freaking me out.

Hey... maybe those are Lourdes's sunglasses! That would maybe explain it.

Say what you want about Juliette Lewis -- I do -- but when I saw this photo of her, taken at LAX earlier today, I thought: Finally... a celebrity who looks like I do while traveling! Three cheers to her.
Britney Spears Hair Rat's Nest
I think it's time for Britney Spears to shave that head again!

I told you I'm not big on fashion. Well, I'm not big on high-maintenance hair 'dos either. But for the love of Ken Paves, somebody needs to get their hands on that girl's head and do something with it!

I've seen homeless people with better hair. Bruce Willis has better hair. (Wink, wink.) Amy Winehouse's beehive looks like an A-plus next to that. Good lord!

Wow -- what's she hiding in there?

Grey's Anatomy star has some big hair. What's with all the young pretty ladies rockin' the senior citizen 'dos? Paris Hilton has had some really big hair lately, too. But this... this is a foul.

Nice helmet!

I'm totally not a fashionista. If I can get away with it, I wear jeans daily -- with sandals in the summer, boots the rest of the year. Boring, basic, blah. But if I were going to Fashion Week, you'd bet your toned behinds that I wouldn't arrive looking like a hot mess.

Here's the emaciated Courtney Love, arriving at the Marc Jacobs show, with Daryl Hannah hair (circa 1984), color contacts, lots of purple eye shadow... and a number of body parts she wasn't born with. I know it's only Tuesday, but I can already award her with Hot Mess of the Week honors. Ugh.

Meanwhile, I work in the fashion district and walk by Bryant Park almost every day. Yesterday I happened upon the Us Weekly party for fashion week, where Kimora Lee Simmons was outside working the press. No real star sightings... though my sis attended Badgley Mischka the other day and saw my "nemesis" Teri Hatcher.

No need for the MTV staffers to load up on band-aids and antibiotic ointment, as Amy Winehouse has pulled out of performing at this year's MTV VMAs. After canceling her North American tour, a representative for Amy tells Us Weekly:

"In a continued effort to support Amy Winehouse's well being, in addition to the postponement of her U.S. tour, all other U.S. appearances have been canceled."

Amy has been on the crazy train for weeks now. The most recent nuttiness? Pictures were published of the singer and her hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, cut and bloodied, after some sort of domestic dispute. According to sources, Amy and Blake are currently vacationing in the Caribbean.

They really should try vacationing, um, I don't know, say, IN REHAB?

What is up with Mischa Barton? Here is the former O.C.-er attending the Tom Petty concert in The Hamptons this past weekend. Girl looks like some kind of crazy boho flapper. And that dress is extremely unflattering to her slim bod. Julie Cooper would have your head for lookin' like this, Mischa.

I see photos of this British celebrity Katie Price -- who also goes by the name of Jordan though don't know (or care!) why -- and I don't see the appeal. She is the utter definition of hot mess. But these photos of her, taken at the launch party for her perfume "Stunning," couldn't be ignored. To me, she's equal parts Anna Nicole Smith, Pam Anderson, Jenna Jameson, Jessica Simpson and Madonna circa 1980. And that's not a compliment in any way, shape or form. She's also rocking the Sienna Miller eyebrows.

Can anyone tell me why I should like her or want to smell like her? And let me know if you find this look "stunning."

Anyone? Anyone?

Hate to get on poor Mandy Moore's case again -- it's not like she's slutting it up or getting arrested like the rest of the starlets -- but she just isn't photographing well lately. Here's the pretty woman at the premiere of Dedication, with costar Billy I Dumped My Girlfriend When She Was 8 Months Pregnant Crudup, and I'm not feelin' it. You?

But, again, on the bright side, she's not driving down the freeway in the wrong direction while stoned or doing lines off her dashboard. So she still gets an A in celebrity ranking from me.

Meanwhile, who knew Crudup was such a shrimp? I sorta hope he's shrinking as payback for the Mary-Louise Parker thing.

Another thing starlets have in common besides bad taste in men, addiction, rehab and bizarre obsessions with adopting (then neglecting) animals? They can't friggin' drive!

Britney Spears was on her way to pick up some supplies at a Good Earth Vitamins yesterday. While attempting to park, the hot mess hit a parked car with her Benz... then again with her car door! According to the watching 'razzi, she quickly assessed the damage to her vehicle, then headed inside -- with one of her pups -- to shop.

Well, at least she was sober... I think.

My sister Joyce is going to kill me for saying this... but Eddie Vedder is looking old.

The Pearl Jam-mer threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Chicago Cubs-New York Mets game earlier today at Wrigley Field in Chicago... in some interesting footwear. (Nike be damned! I'm wearing boots.)

And since my sis is going to be pissed anyway, I'll add that Vedder needs a haircut and a shave too.

Little sister Ali Lohan, 13, is the latest member of the Lohan clan to pipe up about Lindsay Lohan's troubles. Ali sent a rambling message to VH1's 24Sizzler on Wednesday. Here's the condensed version:

"I think that the whole reason why my sister is upset with herself and not as confident, is because of my dad not being around, and always staying out late and not coming home for days... I just want my sister to stick through this okay, and my mother and brothers and I are there for my sister 100% and have always been... our family is like a normal family but of course we are put under a microscope because of Lindsay's fame... Lindsay will be fine she is just going through a rough time right now but she will be fine. I know this for a fact. My sister is just like a normal sister. Her and I have so much in common. My mother and sister are huge inspirations to me..."

Meanwhile, Dina Lohan's friend Gina Glickman, the Lohan family's unofficial spokeswoman, told Entertainment Tonight Lindsay's version of the story. According to Gina, "The cocaine was not Lindsay's; she was wearing someone else's pants."

Someone else's pants? C'mon.

She went on to say, "For the past two years, Dina's been trying to get Lindsay to leave (Los Angeles)... Obviously she's been going through a tough time and it would be best for her to come to N.Y., to be with her family right now, take some time off, get into a rehab center... her life is at risk. Lindsay suffers an addiction. It's not about Lindsay's career right now. It's about saving her life...Dina and Lindsay have been talking every hour. They're texting constantly, they're on the phone. Not only does Dina have to deal with Lindsay's crisis right now, but she also has to appear in court this Friday and Monday because she's in a custody battle for all four of her children."

Should Dina Lohan have custody of her kids? Look how Lindsay turned out!

This just in: According to Usmagazine.com, Lindsay Lohan will be arraigned for both DUI offenses on August 24.

Alec Rose, a Criminal Defense attorney in Santa Monica and A DUI expert, told the magazine, "The minimum penalty for a second offense DUI is 10 days sentence and minimum of 48 hours in jail. The maximum penalty is a year in jail followed by a year of license suspension. Upon release for a second offense DUI conviction, a person must participate in an 18-month DUI class and also will have their car fitted with an ignition interlock device (a built in breathalyzer needed to start the car.) "

As if that weren't intense enough, Lindsay's cocaine charges bring an even worse case scenario. "Possession of any usuable amount of cocaine in California is a felony and can be punished by a minimum of two years to a maximum of five years in jail," according to Rose.

Rose then added, "If you get a DUI when you are facing another DUI, the judge sometimes imposes you to some pretty harsh conditions. The court is going to view you as a very serious danger to the public. They could order that you be confined to your house because you are a danger. They could order you to do rehab, but they probably won't in this case because she has already done that and it wasn't successful. They could order that she have no alcohol in her house and that she attend alcohol meetings daily."

Shockingly, OK! Magazine has announced they intend to show and tell the truth about Britney Spears's photo shoot-and-interview debacle.

As OK! Editor-in-Chief Sarah Ivens told TMZ exclusively, "OK! Magazine spent a heartbreaking day with Britney Spears and witnessed first-hand an emotional cry for help that will leave you shocked and sad. This week, on newsstands Friday, the truth will be told."

As reported earlier today, Britney had a major meltdown on the set of her recent OK! photo shoot and interview. Lucky for us, the magazine decided to risk ruining their relationship in order to make more money -- oops! -- we mean, promote journalistic integrity.AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Another day, another disastrous photo shoot for Britney Spears. TMZ.com is reporting that Brit's recent, self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was yet another train wreck in a long list of train wrecks for the pop star. Apparently the photos are so awful, execs at the magazine are currently trying to decide whether to report the truth or to protect the seemingly insane singer.

Britney's behavior during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown," say multiple sources. Various eyewitnesses describe her mood as "extremely erratic" and "completely out of it" during the shoot. They also say the photos are "so bad" that to publish them could "kill her career" -- her eyes even rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look "half dead." On top of all that, Brit took frequent bathroom breaks, wiped fried chicken grease on an expensive Gucci dress, cleaned up her dog's poop with a Chanel dress, refused to let OK!'s exclusively hired hair and makeup artists work on her opting instead for her "skanky friends" to do it, and was completely paranoid during the entire interview, worrying at one point that the ceiling above was about to cave in on her. (Cue the lyrics to "Crazy" here!)

So why wasn't anyone from Spears's camp there to help the situation? Rumor has it that even her true blue cousin Alli (who until recently was working as her personal assistant) can no longer cope with the crazy star. The real question is, will OK! have the guts to print the truth of this sordid tale? Stay tuned!AddThis Social Bookmark Button

When I picture myself performing in front of adoring fans (what? Like you don't?) never once have I imagined myself rewarding them with a big wad of my saliva. But, hey, I'm no Amy Winehouse.

The big-haired songstress had a bit of an episode the other night, while playing a set in Cornwall, England. Seems Amy forgot some of her own lyrics (I can't imagine what would cause that), got herself all in a tizzy and proceeded to spit on the crowd. One fan told London's Evening Standard,"Members of her entourage were coming onto the stage, obviously worried she couldn't go on, and she would just shout 'F*ck off' at them."

She's just a delight. Maybe if she fixed her chompers she wouldn't have so much trouble keeping her mouth juices in.
