BELGRADE, Serbia – Amy Winehouse was booed and jeered during a concert in Serbia's capital as she stumbled onto the stage, mumbled through her songs and wandered off.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Clarence Clemons, the larger-than-life saxophone player for the E Street Band who was one of the key influences in Bruce Springsteen's life and music through four decades, has died. He was 69.

Sharanda Houser on Friday pleaded not guilty to grand larceny and falsifying business records. She's being held on $25,000 bail.
