The Hollywood Insider has confirmed that troubled singer Amy Winehouse plans to appear at the 50th Grammy Awards on February 10th.
This year the musician has been nominated for six awards but there had been concern that the her legal woes would prevent her from getting obtaining an American visa. However all the red tape has since been sorted and now the big question is whether she’ll perform at the event.
Although the Grammys have much bigger issues to deal with for this years half-centennial celebration. The writers strike has already reduced The Golden Globes to a press conference and there are fears that the Grammy’s will suffer a similar fate.
Organisers of the awards, the American Recording Academy are waiting on word from the WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) to see if the ceremony will go ahead as planned.
If the WGA announces that writers will picket the event, all eyes will turn to nominees such as Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Jon Bon Jovi, all of whom are members of the Screen Actors Guild.
SAG has vowed that its members will not cross a WGA picket line.
The 50th Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 10th 2008 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.
