  Winehouse Lawyer Objects to Norwegian Court Date

  Amy Winehouse may be on her way to drug recovery, but she's still not feeling another court date. The singer's lawyer has asked a court in Bergen, Norway, to postpone a hearing set for Friday.Winehouse and husband Blake Fiedler-Civil were arrested in Bergen in October for possession of a quarter ounce of pot, and were released after one day and paying $715 each. Although Winehouse appealed the fine, the po-po in Norway are serious about making Amy appear for her day in court.

Although Winehouse appealed the fine, the po-po in Norway are serious about making Amy appear for her day in court. The recent teary-eyed Grammy winner insists she never got an official letter regarding her day in court, but to the Norwegian fuzz, you don't need a letter to make it official — even for a winner of five Grammys. — Anna DimondRelated:• Winehouse Says No, No, No to Rehab No More

• "Queen of Soul" Slams Beyonce's "Cheap Shot"

  Just as Natalie Cole and Amy Winehouse exited the après-Grammys ring, Aretha Franklin pulled Beyoncé in, taking issue with Ms. Knowles' introduction of Tina Turner at Sunday night's awards show. Setting the stage for her duet with Turner, Beyoncé name-checked Franklin and other high-caliber songstresses before hailing Tina as "one legend who has the essence of all of those things: the glamour, the soul, the passion, the strength, the talent. Ladies and gentlemen… give (more…)Just as Natalie Cole and Amy Winehouse exited the après-Grammys ring, Aretha Franklin pulled Beyoncé in, taking issue with Ms. Knowles' introduction of Tina Turner at Sunday night's awards show.

Ladies and gentlemen… give it up for the queen."And that was a royal mistake. "I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé," Franklin said in a statement. "However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy."Related:• Natalie Cole Disses "Crazy" Amy Winehouse's Grammys • The Grammys' Best and Worst Moments

  Grammys Goss: Natalie Cole Disses "Crazy" Amy's Wins

  God bless the free-speaking elders. Former Grammy winner Natalie Cole told reporters at one of Sunday night's after-parties that Amy Winehouse is talented but "crazy," and that quintet of wins was questionable… all things considered. "I don't think she deserved it," the New York Daily News quotes Cole (herself no stranger to battles with drink and more) as saying. "She needs to get her life together first, and then get the awards later." (OK, but by that stan (more…)God bless the free-speaking elders.

"She needs to get her life together first, and then get the awards later." (OK, but by that standard just how long would any Grammys ceremony be?) Overhearing Cole's rant, Ringo Starr commented, "Man, those are some grapes" — and no, a fruit platter was not being offered to him at the time. Nelly, for one, defended Winehouse's accolades, telling the News, "You can't hate a person for their personal life."

  Rihanna Goes from Smash Success to Smashed Car

  Rihanna was in a fender-bender Sunday night after the Grammy Awards, where she had just won best Rap/Sung Collaboration for her smash hit with Jay-Z. The smashing of her car, however, went down when she was leaving the Island-Def Jam after-party. The accident occurred when she got into her waiting car on her way out. Rihanna's rep confirmed that another car rammed into hers, while still parked. No one was hurt in the incident — although there's been no word on whether the star's Grammy was (more…)Rihanna was in a fender-bender Sunday night after the Grammy Awards, where she had just won best Rap/Sung Collaboration for her smash hit with Jay-Z.

• Best Grammy 2008 Performances

  Kanye West Performs “Stronger” with Daft Punk and “Hey Mama”As much as the cocky rapper continues to irk us with his high and mighty comments regarding who deserves certain awards (that acceptance speech definitely put us over the edge—see it here if you missed it), we still have to admit he is a damn good performer. His Kanye-from-the-future performance of “Stronger” was equally as good as his tribute to his mama.

His Kanye-from-the-future performance of “Stronger” was equally as good as his tribute to his mama. Amy Winehouse Performs and “Rehab” Via Satellite We all were waiting with baited breath to see if Amy Winehouse would either pull a Britney or kill it when it came time for her live satellite performance. Despite all the insanity going on in her life, Winehouse still managed to pull off a pretty good performance. You could see she was full of nerves, but she sung right through them and even managed to smirk for the cameras when it came time for the irony of her song lyrics in “Rehab.”Across the Universe CastPerforms T…

What a disappointment.3) Beyoncé's weird dance/talk intro to Tina TurnerWhat the hell was that?4) Carrie UnderwoodBizarre set decorations clashed with one weird outfit for this overhyped number.5) Amy Winehouse Talk about sloppy.
