Hey, news is news, even when it's a new version of old news.

That's because the AP is reporting that Amy Winehouse was arrested yet again, this time stemming from a January video in which she's allegedly shown doing drugs at a party at her London house. This follows last month's incident in which police cautioned Winehouse for assault after she slapped a man during a night out. That, of course, followed all the other highly publicized rehab stints, legal troubles, yadda yadda yadda. We like "Back to Black," but we gotta admit that this ever-rising pile of personal issues/PR nightmares isn't exactly helping to further endear the already controversial singer to us.

When will the bad news for Winehouse come to an end? Will it be before or after she makes another album? Is it us, or does it feel like we've asked all of these questions several times before?

Attention, Project Runway fans! If you're not stopping in the AIDS Foundation of Chicago's Design for the Cure fashion show hosted by Steven Rosengard on Thursday, here's a chance to spy another former contestant this week. Season 2 winner Chloe Dao will be in town from Houston for the relaunch of the newly made-over Verizon store on Michigan Avenue. Known for her feminine frocks, she'll be there pimping her new "couture" cell phone cases (pictured here, $24.99 a pop) from noon until 2 p.m. on Friday. We're not all that wowed by the designs, but they are admittedly cuter than your basic black vinyl deal. If you're fan enough, go ahead and join the legions of PR devotees slipping out on their lunch break for an autograph.

 

The MTV Movie Awards, which normally gives top honors to stuff like "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," is actually giving a great movie a chance to shine this year.

That's because "Superbad" led the pack with five nominations Tuesday for categories including "Best Comedic Performance" and "Best Movie." (That being said, the other "Best Movie" noms are "I Am Legend," "Juno," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" and, yes, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Transformers.")The awards, broadcast live June 1, will also debut a new category, "Best Summer Movie So Far," which just includes all the big May releases ("Iron Man," "Indiana Jones," "Sex and the City," "Speed Racer" and "The Chronicles of Narnia").

That's not terribly exciting, but we do like the concept of a user-generated category, "Best Movie Spoof," for which users can submit online movies parodying flicks from the past year. Not only is that a fun way to engage the audience, but it prevents full-length spoofs like "Meet the Spartans" or "Superhero Movie" from ever being called the "Best" at anything.

Does "Superbad" deserve to be called "Best Movie"?
