Following a career in which, publicly, he was the kind of guy you'd introduce to your parents, ex-Phish frontman Trey Anastasio can't seem to stay out of trouble. The guitar hero of patchwork nation is currently enrolled in a mandatory drug court program in Washington County, New York, where he was apprehended last year for a DUI and for possession of drugs and prescription medication (minus the prescription). Last week, according to a report from Albany, NY television station WNTV, Anastasio spent two days in the slammer for failure to show up at a court-ordered appointment. Guess the judge didn't get the memo that Phil Lesh already pardoned Anastasio last year when Lesh was awarded honorary mayor of Glens Falls, NY.

Dap-Kings Flying to L.A. for Winehouse Grammy Performance

Despite Amy Winehouse's personal turmoil, the Grammy-nominated soulstress might actually make an appearance in Los Angeles for music's biggest night on February 10. While word on the street earlier this week was that Winehouse would be a no-show, members her Dap-Kings band are have heard otherwise and are planning to make their way West for the performance.
"Where it stands now is we [the Dap-Kings] are booked to play with her," Dap-King Tommy Brenneck tells Spinner. "She's bailed on us before so it wouldn't be a surprise, but I'm hoping for the best. Also, because Ronson is trying to put that after party together with everyone: the Dap-kings -- with both Amy and Sharon Jones -- the Budos Band with Wale and the Menahan Street Band with Jay-Z. Let's just hope the Grammys don't get canceled because of the writers strike."

Bjork Attacks Another Photographer

Bjork attacked a news photographer at the Aukland International Airport on Sunday, after arriving for a scheduled performance at the annual Big Day Out festival, according to the New Zealand Herald. The Icelandic singer tore Glenn Jeffrey's shirt after he took a few photos, but not before a request that no pictures be taken.
"I took a couple of pictures and I got about three or four frames of her ... and as I turned and walked away she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black skivvy and tore it down the back," Jeffrey said. "As she did this she fell over, she fell to the ground. At no stage did I touch her or speak with her."
This incident isn't the first of its kind. Bjork infamously attacked a journalist at Bangkok's airport in 1996, after a long flight to Thailand. She later apologized.
Jeffrey said that he does not plan to file charges.
