Bookies taking bets on whether Amy Winehouse turns up to

I give her 1/3 on not making V-fest. They could have made a KILLING on Pete Doherty. Not only "concerts" but "court appearances." You could finance your kid's education on that one. Courtney Love's got an album coming out. Who wants to offer some action on some prop bets for that?
http://www.nme.com/news/29654 British bookmakers William Hill are offering 1/2 odds on Amy Winehouse not turning up to her next gig, scheduled to be Tuesday's (July 17) Eden Sessions show at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England.
The odds offer comes after Winehouse cancelled her scheduled appearances in the U.K. at last weekend's T In The Park and Oxegen festivals, and was photographed drinking in her local pub despite citing "exhaustion" as the reason for her cancellation.
"Amy has cancelled too many gigs for us not to give out odds," a spokesperson for William Hill said. "The concert is next week so she'll have to sort herself out for that and I can't see it happening."

I always sort of envisioned Brian Walalce and bull930 as one person's Mr. Hyde and Doctor Jekyll sides.

Totally unfair, being a drunken loser is a little different from having a medical doctor warn you not to sing lest you risk permanent damage to your money maker.
He's missed some shows over the years but nothing close to the nearly 40% blow off rate of Ms. Wine-Beer-and-anything-else-on-the-shelf. Though it's obvious she has a disease, it's hard to feel sorry for someone whose biggest selling single is about NOT get the help she so obviously needs.
If you're blowing off steam about not being able to see Moz on his recent swing through the east that's understandable but take a shot at him that has some merit.
If it was merely some tongue and cheek sarcasm, I'll slowly slink away from here for not getting it immediately and feel like an ass in the corner.
