And the Grammy for breast cover-up goes to...Amy Winehouse

Janet Jackson famously alienated half of America with her bare-boob "wardrobe malfunction" at the Superbowl.

But sharp-eyed fans will have noticed Amy Winehouse took no such risks with her appearance by video link in last week's Grammy Awards.

Not with her own decolletage, that is, but with the raunchy tattoo of a bare-breasted singer normally visible on her left arm.

For the performance, the depiction seemed to have come over rather more modest, and was equipped with a black bra - added, it seemed, with a felt-tip pen.

Perhaps Amy, who left her rehab centre to go to a London studio for the performance, wanted to send out a signal to those gathered for the ceremony in Los Angeles that she was serious about getting her life back on track.

She certainly sounded her best and scooped five Grammy Awards.

But cynics may feel it shows a more calculating side than her normal devilmay-care approach. Maybe the beehive behaves if she has to.
