Bestival organisers fear Winehouse might turn up

According to The Sun, Bestival organisers are worried Amy Winehouse may cause trouble after her rider reportedly requested 48 bottles of Jack Daniel's for her entourage.

So, it's Bestival weekend - hurrah! If you're going have a great one, I'm really jealous, I can't go this year. I'll be playing the new 'A-Z of Bestival' CD very loud all weekend instead. It's very good.

Anyway, one last bit of Bestival news, and, while just the other day the festival's organisers were getting worried that Amy Winehouse wouldn't turn up to fill her headline slot at the festival on Saturday, tabloid reports suggest that now they've seen her rider, they're worried she will, in fact, make it, and then cause lots of JD-fuelled trouble. According to The Sun, the singer has requested 48 bottles of whiskey for her and her entourage.

A source told the paper: "It's common for artists to make requests for food and beverages before they arrive. But organisers have heard Miss Winehouse has ordered in an extremely large amount of Jack Daniel's, in fact, a ridiculous amount that she and her team could not possibly consume during their short stay. Everyone is really excited about getting Amy to perform here, and naturally there are now fears she is planning something wild".
