While we usually ignore the never ending barrage of Amy Winehouse stories, there are times when it's too much to let slide. These photos of Amy looking pretty torn up, outside her London home in the wee small hours of Monday morning sparked all sorts of rumors that she was on a scary all night bender. Her rep, however, denied the story to People, saying, "She heard all these noises, and she went outside to look and there were all these photographers... She'd been sound asleep, and then there were all these photographers – of course she looked startled." While a middle of the night scare could be a valid explanation (I guess) it's hard to know when it comes to Amy and her behavior.

Last night Munich was abuzz with music sensations for the MTV Euro Music Awards. There were singers and performers from all over the world, but the night belonged to a Canadian, Avril Lavigne, winning both Most Addictive Track for "Girlfriend" and Solo Performer of 2007. Apparently, hats were the dress code for dudes, as evidenced by the Madden brothers, Jared Leto, Snoop and Pete Doherty. Bella wants to know what color hair you like best on Joss Stone, but really that was the least of her worries here. Speaking of Kate Moss' ex, he was about a million times more clean than usual and spoke on the red carpet about the reason for his new sobriety. He said, "Yeh, it's all different now. I don't know ... God, and melody." Not as sober, sadly, was Amy Winehouse, who was a shell of herself performing on stage and accepted the Artists' Choice Award with a measly "Thanks." Girlfriend needs help, and I hope she gets it before too late.
