Talking of the Grammys, there is much speculation that Michael Jackson will be in attendance at the big awards bash this weekend, though it's very unlikely he will be performing. Whether he will present an award isn't clear - presumably he would be there to promote the upcoming 25th anniversary re-release of 'Thriller' so would want a highish profile role. As previously reported, there were rumours Jacko would make an appearance at last weekend's Superbowl, but he didn't.
Speculation also remains rife as to whether Amy Winehouse will make it to the Grammys - ie whether she'll be up to performing and, more importantly, whether US officials will let her in given the issues surrounding those drugs charges in Bergen last year. Word has it there is a final meeting with US immigration re visa issues on Friday and, if she's granted a visa (the consensus is she will be), then it will be up to her doctors to decide if she's up to a quick jaunt to LA on Saturday to be in town for the awards show on Sunday. Even if she is, some wonder if she'll have time to rehearse. Her people are reportedly bothered that an unprepared and still unwell Winehouse could fail to impress, which, given she'll be under the spotlight of the world's media, could land her in the same position as Britney when she attempted that comeback at the VMAs.
