Winehouse will perform
at Woodie Awards

NEW YORK — Amy Winehouse, who has been in and out of the headlines in recent months, will perform at the 2007 mtvU Woodie Awards in New York next month. The British diva pulled out of MTV’s Video Music Awards, which were held in Las Vegas on Sept. 9. Her U.S. record label, Universal Republic Records, said all U.S. appearances had been canceled “in a continued effort to support Amy Winehouse’s well-being.” In August, Winehouse canceled a series of British concerts and put her North American tour on hold. The 24-year-old retro-soul singer had been dogged by concerns over her health and reports of drug use. The fourth annual mtvU Woodie Awards will be presented Nov. 8 at the Roseland Ballroom. They will air Nov. 15 on mtvU, MTV’s 24-hour college network, and its Web site.

Enrique Iglesias to sing
on ‘Young and Restless’

LOS ANGELES — Enrique Iglesias wants to spread his music far and wide, including the make-believe world of daytime television. The 32-year-old Latin heartthrob will sing “Somebody’s Me” from his new CD, “Insomniac,” on the Nov. 7 episode of CBS’ “The Young and the Restless.” “Music has changed so, so much,” he said after taping his appearance Thursday. “It’s tough out there, so you need any outlet to put your music out there.” On the show, Iglesias performs at Indigo, the jazz club owned by Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John). The singer’s other TV credits are the CBS comedies “How I Met Your Mother” and “Two and a Half Men.” He is interested in expanding his acting. “I love sitcoms,” Iglesias said. “It was different from the daily thing that I do. I want to do little things and learn.”
