Winehouse tries to get new US visa

Amy Winehouse reportedly visited the American Embassy in London to seek a new work visa, and says a confession to Norwegian police was signed by mistake.

Amy Winehouse has reportedly had a meeting at the American Embassy in London in a bid to secure a new US work visa so she can continue to pursue her career over there. Winehouse's people are concerned she may not secure a new visa because of that recent drugs arrest in Norway - US visa officials getting all nervous when you've a drugs arrest on your record. But Amy now claims that an apparent confession she made to Norwgian police after that arrest is not valid, and that she signed it by mistake. Possibly because she was off her face on drugs at the time, we're not sure.

It's not clear if Winehouse is using that argument in a bid to get a visa, or indeed if that was actually why she was at the American Embassy at all - there's a lot of speculation going on here. Chief speculator is Sky News producer Nickie Omer who saw Winehouse arrive at the Embassy. She told reporters: "She looked totally different. She looked really well groomed. Her hair was combed, she'd got a black pencil skirt on and gold high heels. She actually looked healthy for once". Ah, I knew it, the drunken ditzy diva look was just an act.
