Bryan Adams is Joining the "Straighten Up, Amy" Choir.

What an unlikely pairing; I didn't realize these two were all BFF, did you?

Bryan Adams has become the latest aging pop star to tell Amy Winehouse to get her act together, but he's one-upping Keith Richards by making his plea in song.  Because the world really needed another Bryan Adams ballad, apparently?

I had no idea about this, but back around Christmas/New Years, Winehouse spent a few days at Adams's "Caribbean hideaway," where the two struck up a tight friendship.  He has now written a song about her called Flower Grown Wild (groan), which contains such uplifting and not-at-all trite lyrics as, "Amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills," and "the picture faded and the day was done, went home to nothin' but a loaded gun."

I think I'd be pretty cheesed off if Bryan Adams wrote a bad song about me that implied I was hanging around with purveyors of sex for sale, but Amy Winehouse likes the song so much that she's going to perform it with him on his tour this year.  I think Amy needs another stint in rehab and a new manager.

In other news, Bryan Adams still has enough fans to warrant a tour.

-Bryan Adams tries desperately to remain timely-
Didn't Lindsey Lohan hang out at his house last year? Is he throwing coke parties for the trendy?

I won't lie. I was a huge Bryan Adams fan, back in the day. Had 3rd row seats to his concert at the county fair and everything.. ;)

But - what's happened to him? Because while I know not everyone can age gracefully (and not everyone gets plastic surgery), he looks like he's wearing an entire bottle of foundation in the above pic. And he apparently put said foundation on his lips, because they blend right in with the rest of his face.

trying to catch the Winehouse buzz..and
