Amy Winehouse Needs Doctors Approval To Play Glastonbury Festival

Amy Winehouse will need to be given the all clear by doctors before stepping back onto the stage this weekend, he spokesperson has said.



The singer, who has been diagnosed with traces of emphysema, is scheduled to play the Nelson Mandela concert in London on Friday (June 27th) and Glastonbury the following day.



Her spokesperson told the BBC that her appearance at both events “looks likely”, but added that she is still awaiting “the final sign-off” from doctors.



As previously reported on Gigwise, Winehouse was discharged from hospital yesterday in order to rehearse for her appearances.



Despite being warned by doctors that smoking could extenuate her condition, the singer was pictured smoking in a car on the way to the rehearsal studio.



In a recent interview, Winehouse's father, Mitch, appeared optimistic about his daughter's chances of making a full recovery, however, revealing that she is already “responding brilliantly to treatment”.



Winehouse was admitted to hospital last Monday (June 16th) after she fainted while “doing admin” in her North London home.

Bet Carries Obamas Victory Speech Without Interruption



On Tuesday night, the Viacom-owned cable network BET, which targets the African-American
audience, was able to do something that no broadcast network could -- air, in its
entirety, Barack Obama's speech hailing his primary victory that clinched the Democrat
ic presidential nomination without having to give equal time to his presumed Republican
rival, John McCain, and other qualified candidates. Under FCC regulations, if a broadcast
network offers time to a political candidate (outside of a news program or a debat
e), it must offer equal time to all other candidates. The rule does not apply to
cable networks like BET.

Dress-up date with Westlife

More than 3000 boy band fans packed into New Plymouth's TSB Stadium for Irish pop group Westlife's concert last night.

There was chaos on New Plymouth streets as eager fans tried to find a car park, with Coronation Ave clogged with nose-to-tail traffic.

Fans turned up in outfits ranging from the conservative to the ridiculous, with three teenagers wearing matching outfits.

The outfits included black stockings, belts, glowing head bands and oversized white T-shirts with I Love Westlife hand-painted on them.

As well as all their hits including Seasons in the Sun, Flying Without Wings, If I Let You Go, and Swear It Again, they played songs from their latest album Back Home.

The band arrived at New Plymouth Airport yesterday afternoon to a flurry of eager fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrities.

Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan were welcomed by Mayor Peter Tennent, followed by a haka performedby Kanohi Ki Te Kanohi.

The band also sent their best wishes to a truck driver, who was seriously injured after the truck carrying the band's gear rolled early yesterday morning.

The crash happened near Mokau and the driver was taken by ambulance to Waikato Hospital.

Last night's concert was the final for their first New Zealand tour, which saw the band perform in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

The band also released a New Zealand-only edition of their best-of album featuring all their greatest hits.
