Hot mess Amy Winehouse has been lobbying the US embassy to approve her visa request so she can attend the upcoming Grammy Awards. Alas, it is not to be. The visa was denied, and Amy's reps issued the following statement:

After the decision came down, her publicist issued the following statement: "Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery."

Winehouse was asked to perform at the show, and is also up for six different awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist.
