I just got some promising Amy Winehouse news. Producers are so hopeful she'll obtain a visa to come to the States for Sunday’s awards show, they’ve set aside rehearsal time for her and her band, I'm told.

As of right now, Winehouse is scheduled to rehearse with the Dap-Kings band at 12:30 p.m. Friday at the Staples Center, a source tells me. If all goes as planned, the source says, the 24-year-old songbird would do two songs: “Rehab” and “You Know I’m No Good.”

A rep for the Grammys confirms the allotted rehearsal time. "They're holding a spot for her," the rep says. "It'll be close if it happens."

I also hear seats in the audience are being held for Winehouse, too. The singer, who is currently undergoing treatment for substance abuse in her native England, is up for six Grammys.

She checked into London’s Capio Nightingale clinic Jan. 24. On Monday, she reportedly visited the U.S. Embassy in the British capital to talk about getting a visa.

Her dad, Mitch Winehouse, has gone public with his feelings that his daughter not make the trip. “I don’t want her to go—I think it might be a bit too soon for her,” he told Britain’s Mirror last week. “She’s not well—that’s why she’s in rehab.”
