Amy Winehouse

Nelson Mandela is going to have one hell of a 90th b-day party. Thanks to Will Smith, who is hosting the bash, Mandela will not just have one musical performance to entertain him. Rather, he'll play guest of honor to an entire rock concert. Featured stars include Annie Lennox, Leona Lewis, the Soweto Gospel Choir, and Shirley Bassey. Alas, it appears there will be at least one cancellation. The crack-smoking, headbutting Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed, at the ripe ol' age of 24, with emphysema and is not expected to show.
