Nelson Mandela: the Nobel Peace Prize winner shakes his groove thangEver play that Six Degrees of Separation game where you pair two completely opposite people and try to link them together in six steps or less? Like for example, how do you get from Amy Winehouse to Nelson Mandela (without any anti-incarceration campaign jokes)? Thank goodness the people over at the HIV/AIDS awareness organization 46664 are giving us a good reason to tie these two very different celebs together.
That’s right: While the entire blogosphere was busy announcing that Amy Winehouse was to enter rehab at exclusive Israeli detox center, and then taking it back, the British pop star and tabloid favorite was making plans to sing at Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration and fundraiser in London next month, as 46664 announced today. This will be the singer’s first big-time concert appearance since November, and the world should be grateful that this particular Winehouse rumor is true.
Other performers scheduled for the event include Queen, Annie Lennox, Razorlight, and many more. Going to be in London around June 27? Tickets are still available.

Another Amy Winehouse debacle
Doesn't it seems like a bit of a poor decision to have Amy Winehouse play at an AIDS Awareness benefit concert when she can barely get off drugs herself? This doens't seem like the kind of role model the organization should be using as the face of the organization.

Agreed. And two months ago, she was supposed to record the title song for the new James Bond movie, and her manager/producer said she was in no condition to even consider recording anything!
