Amy Winehouse Gives Up
Amy Winehouse pulls the plug on her entire concert tour. Chris Brown accidentally tweets a private message for Rihanna. Kanye West hides his girly alcohol preferences. Tuesday gossip says no, no, no.
- After her trainwreck performance in Serbia, Amy Winehouse canceled a couple stops on her European tour. Now, she's canceled the entire tour. No word whether she's going back to rehab, or just returning to her sad, messy life in England, smoking crack in a house full of half-eaten junk food, dirty laundry, and (going out on a limb) the feces of mice.

- Hugh Hefner is letting runaway bride Crystal Harris keep her $90,000 engagement ring. Over/under on how soon she pawns it to forestall getting a job? [Radar]
- Chris Brown might have sexted Rihanna, or maybe Twexted ("tweet sexted") her! He pulled a Weiner last night and accidentally tweeted a message he meant to DM: "@RIHANNA you got that pic I sent you?" He immediately deleted the tweet, but "sources close to" Breezy say the "pic" in question was totally another dick pic, because he and Rihanna are maybe-probably flirting again. (He can't assault her if they keep it cyber?) Unless Chris is cyber-harassing Ri. Or trying to send her a picture of tasteful window treatment he saw. Hard to say. [MediaTakeout]
- Kanye West "will not be seen sipping from a girlie martini glass," and recently requested that a frilly fruity beverage be transferred into a normal-looking tumbler, so he could drink it without shame. Are we sure that was an image thing, though? Personally, I hate martini glasses because they are designed specifically to maximize spills. [P6]
- Aretha Franklin tripped over a high-heel Jimmy Choo, fell, and broke her toe. This is the one and only time that we can say "just like Kim Kardashian" about the queen of Soul. [People]
- Mariah Carey's first baby pictures are set to sell for $200K, way under the multimillion payday she was hoping for. Nick Cannon's reticence to photograph the babies when they were still fresh from the womb (they are now 7 weeks old) drove down the price. America wants to see your babies before they open their eyes! Covered in afterbirth! Newborn or bust! [P6]
- Paris Hilton and Cy Waits have officially called it quits. Turns out the couple that hotboxes together does not always stay together. [Us]
- 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison married 16-year-old aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden. Her mom had to sign the marriage license, because Courtney is too young, and said this: "Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl." Also, this: "She is a beautiful girl. She has real breasts, real lips." She will either have a massive quarter-life crisis and become a militant gender-queer feminist theorist, or move into the Playboy mansion next year. Or maybe the marriage will work! Who are we to say otherwise? [Radar]
