Taunts, Tributes and Tunes: Onstage at Glastonbury

PopSugarUK — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:00:00 -0700

This year's Glastonbury Festival had an awesome and eclectic lineup including KT Tunstall, Kate Nash, The Wombats, Hoosiers, Shakin' Stevens and Jennifer Aniston's man John Mayer. One of my favourite moments of the weekend was when Jay-Z continued his tabloid war of words with Noel Gallagher by playing Wonderwall and singing along to open his set with a big grin on his face – cheeky! Beyoncé watched her hubby proudly from the side of the stage in a parka and the requisite A-list shades.

Living legend Leonard Cohen pulled out a classic Glastonbury moment when he sang his amazing "Hallelujah" and the crowd sang along. As I told you over the weekend Amy Winehouse also had a classic Glasto moment... but of a different kind.

Glastonbury's Got 99 Problems, Jay-Z Ain't One (But Amy Is)

Molly — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:04:00 -0700

Despite early bad weather, the Glastonbury Festival rolled on this weekend with celebrity fans including Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne out to see performers like John Mayer, Jay-Z and so many more. Amy Winehouse found a way to make new headlines with her despicable behavior including punching a fan in the middle of her performance - more on that and video over on UK Pop - and insulting Kanye on stage. On a brighter note, Jay-Z killed it as the headliner with Beyonce watching from the audience. After Noel Gallagher of Oasis made some disparaging comments about Jay headlining the festival, the rapper was under a lot of pressure to perform. Instead, he took the stage, guitar in hand, and started off his set by singing "Wonderwall" into "99 Problems." Amazing, check out the video below - so fun and the perfect way to win over some new fans overseas.

Backstage at Glastonbury: Wellies, Wigs and Will Young

Glastonbury came and went over the weekend and all the stars were hanging out backstage! Some were performing and some were just out to take in some music, including Will Young, Lily Cole and Kelly Osbourne – who was pictured with boyfriend Luke Worrell wearing some rather fabulous wigs. Doesn't Luke look like he's channeling Noel Fielding?! Alexa Chung was hanging out with her man Alex Turner and was rocking her high-waisted shorts – my girl FabUK wants to know what you thought of the best looks of the weekend.

Kate Moss watched some performers from the side of the stage along with an entranced Lily Allen, who took to the stage with Mark Ronson over the weekend. Check back later for lots of photos of the performers!

Amy's Glastonbury Tussle

PopSugarUK — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 03:03:13 -0700

A very tanned Amy Winehouse performed a one hour set at Glastonbury last night, and appeared to get into a short spat with a fan at the festival. Her spokesman said, "The 'lashing out' was when someone tried to grab her hair and she reacted."

Check out the video for yourself below – she appears to hit out at the crowd a couple of times and, while it's nowhere near Eric Cantona's famous fan attack, Amy's definitely not a happy lady.

Approximately 75,000 people showed up at the main stage to watch Amy's set which apparently split crowd opinion. What did you think of her performance?

Kate and Lily Are Just Two Festival Chicks

Kate Moss didn't let a little rainy weather dampen her spirits arriving at the Glastonbury Music Festival in England with Jamie Hince on Friday. It was a whole year ago that Kate went there on the arm of Pete Doherty, but this time she's with a far more considerate companion - Jamie has apparently made sure that he and Kate have everything they need including enough toilet paper. Lily Allen is also there as a spectator rather than performer and she was already spotted having a little backstage bonding with Kate kicking off the memorable weekend despite the wet circumstances.
