Winehouse leaves rehab to apply for visa

Singer Amy Winehouse left the rehab clinic where she is being treated for a short time yesterday in order to apply for a US visa.
According to reports, Winehouse left her London clinic for a few hours to meet with officials at the US Embassy.
She was accompanied by her father Mitch and a nurse, as the terms of her treatment require her to remain under supervision at all times.
Winehouse sported her custom black beehive, which had not made an appearance in recent weeks, after the star cut her hair and bleached it blonde.
It is thought that Winehouse is seeking a US visa in order to travel to Los Angeles to perform at the Grammys on 10 February. She is nominated for six awards at the ceremony.
The singer's visa application will not be simple due to the fact that she was arrested and fined in Norway for possession of cannabis.
A spokesperson for Winehouse said: "The appointment at the US Embassy was made some time ago and was part of process for obtaining a visa. No decision has been made about the Grammys."
"Amy was accompanied by a nurse as the appointment was under supervision. She has not left rehab and remains under the care of the clinic."
