Out with a bang! Amy Winehouse botches $2 million an hour performance

Even big bucks can’t get Amy Winehouse to behave. Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich offered the singer $2 million an hour to perform on Thursday at the opening of his girlfriend's art gallery in Moscow. Amy boarded a plane in London, and we hear it was all down hill from there. An insider claims when she arrived, "she was in no condition to appear," and the singer’s handlers "spent two hours trying to pull her together.” Supposedly the party organizers discussed finding a replacement, but felt there wasn’t enough time. When she finally wobbled on stage at 12:30 am, Winehouse chain-smoked, threw her lighter at the audience, which she then flashed, not wearing any panties. "I heard that her singing was a little sloppy," says the source, "but she still put on a terrific show."

Sure, some of it may be an act, but we wish Amy would go to rehab. Do you think her situation is dire? [NY Daily News]

    but the reason that she is so popular is because we all talk about her and want to see what she is doing now.If we would ignore these entertainers that act this way and are demanding and don't care what people think of them, then they might sit up and take notice when no one is at their shows

    I hate to even comment on this musician but I must. I don't understand what makes her so famous. Her hit song was about not going to rehab. I don't think this is a good image for anyone. I wish someone would get this lady some help.

    She is a disgrace to the music industry. Come on, she's a drunk and drug head, people get real! Kick her a** to the curb and get on with it. There are so many artist's out there trying to get a break and here she is making a total a** of herself on stage. She's just a big waste of time, whether she has a good voice or not. Doesn't she have a family that sees what a mess she is in. Maybe they should have her on the show "Intervention"!!!!!

    She's an amazing talent, I hope someone steps in and cleans her up though. But, I don't get the big deal with her. Musicians do drugs. We all know this. So, why is her case such a big deal?

    Amy Winehouse is a rockstar, just like Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, and if she wants to do drugs and live on an edge that could kill her, she should get the same admiration/sympathy we gave to the boys. I don't want her to act ladylike because rockstars should be anything but that.
