Amy Winehouse had to cover up pin-up girl tattoo for Grammys
This is just silly, so apparently during her Grammy performace, Amy Winehouse was told to cover up exposed breasts…on one of her tattoos! The reason given was that, “Grammy bosses were scared she’d offend US audiences” with her pin-up girl tattoo on her left upper arm. Really, that 
would have offended Americans? “The ‘Back to Black’ star used her trademark black eyeliner to disguise the breasts of a nude girl tattooed on her arm as she performed via satellite link from London at the Grammys. “Amy drew a little black bikini top on the large topless female tattoo on her arm, so as not to offend any of America’s puritanical viewers,” a source told Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.” Now come on, I’m going to need to find another source on this, really, would any of you be offended if you saw a topless tattoo on tv? I would think things like shootings, murders and adultry constantly protrayed on tv shows would be something to focus on rather than an ink drawing of some (giggle) boobies! (giggle, giggle) Pla-lee-zz.
Amy Winehouse to perform at Grammys via satellite
UPDATE: So Amy took 4 of the 5 awards she was nominated for, Mark Ronson, the producer of Back To Black took Producer of the years, and most importantly she tore it up on a medley of I’m no Good and Rehab from London. Good for her.
While I can’t think of a time I looked forward to the Grammys, this year is the exception. After getting approval from the rehab center she’s currently staying in, she was still denied a visa to travel to the US to attend the Grammys, but Amy Winehouse will perform via satellite for the show. She has the most nominations shy of Kanye West, and with good reason, her cd Back To Black is a stunner. Between her strong, soulful voice, her songwriting and arrangements, this is amazing music that I can heartily recommend to everyone. It’s great to hear she’s doing better, and I look forward to seeing her belt it out as only she can. “I’m raring to go and really excited to be performing at my first Grammy Awards,” says Amy, “I’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last couple of weeks. I’m really sorry I can’t be there but I appreciate that I’m being given a second chance via satellite” Winehouse said in a statement to Access Hollywood. [...] She is nominated for six Grammys, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Female Performance for “Rehab,” Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Pop Vocal Album for “Back to Black”.
Hi, I'm fak3r and I've been online for over 15 years, blogging for 10. I work with open source software, various hardware and whatever else that I can hack on. I enjoy learning by doing, painting infrequently and listening to more music than the law allows. Feel free to follow me and comment on my thoughts and ideas; we're all in it together kid.
