GOSSIP. Everyone was having a lovely time at the annual Glastonbury festival in England over the weekend — until Amy Winehouse unleashed her Wolverine berserker attack. Winehouse — who holds the title for youngest star with the most obituaries already written about her (take that, Britney!) — was in the middle of singing “Rehab” when she suddenly jumped off the stage into the security pit. She then started swinging, hitting a fan with her fist. But! A Winehouse spokesperson (is there a more thankless job?) insists the singer was acting in self-defense, saying, “The ‘lashing out’ was when someone tried to grab her hair and she reacted.” Well, of course they were going after her hair. Legend holds that by merely stroking the holy Weave of Winehouse, you can get totally high for days.
We are amused
And in the magical land of gay rumor denials, “Gossip Girl” star and saucy hobbit Ed Westwick has once again had to explain to the press that he and his sharp-cheekboned co-star Chace Crawford are not dating. They are living together. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. But they’re totally cool about all the “no, you’re totally gay” rumors: “Those things that go around are just amusing to us, really,” says Westwick. Note that he insists on speaking for both of them. As if they were some sort of single unit. Like a couple or something. Just saying.
