The troubled singer Amy Winehouse, right, has early stage emphysema as a result of smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes and may need an oxygen mask to breathe if she cannot stop, her father told a British newspaper, The Sunday Mirror, in an interview. Ms. Winehouse, 24, was taken to the hospital last Monday after a collapse and underwent tests last week. “The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her,” her father, Mitch Winehouse, said. Mr. Winehouse, who said his daughter also had an irregular heartbeat, added that focusing on her work has sometimes helped her to stay away from drugs, and that had she not performed recently in Moscow and Portugal, “she could have been dead by now.” Ms. Winehouse is scheduled to sing on Friday at a London concert celebrating the 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela and also plans to take part in the Glastonbury music festival on Saturday.

The Incredible Hulk" is the ultimate summer blockbuster for special effects movie junkies and Marvel Comics fans that want to see "Hulk smash!" more than he did in Ang Lee's cinematic interpretation of the character.

This time, the Hulk (Edward Norton) is not an emo boy. He is more like the misunderstood, ragaholic he was in the Bill Bixby TV series. In addition, a certain Marvel Comics hero makes a cameo appearance. He is a tech-savvy billionaire who wears a lot of red and gold armor.

Moviegoers can expect to see Bruce Banner in Brazil where he has been hiding for quite some time. The opening scene is a beautiful aerial wide shot that brings moviegoers into Banner's new life. He has since been working on keeping the green giant at bay.

When the Hulk makes his grand appearance, he is not given his close up right away. The audience is teased with bits and pieces of the green giant before the whole package is thrown at them for their amazement. Banner soon makes his way back home to find a cure for the green monster that is the Hulk.

Norton plays Bruce Banner perfectly. It might not have been a long script, but Norton made do with what he had, that is, blunt dialogue.

He meets Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) on the steps of a Virginia university. Tyler gives a solid performance as Ms. Ross. Her performance is as good as it could be, given that she has very few lines. The doe-eyed starlit is perfect for the part of Banner's love interest. Tyler might not say much as Betty Ross, playing the typical damsel in distress, but she works with what she is given, which is not a whole lot in terms of dialogue.

It is a good thing she has her famous rock star dad's lips, which came in handy during scenes in which her character is left in a state of shock.

The defense begins presenting its case on Wednesday in the R. Kelly child pornography trial in Chicago, after testimony by a woman who said she had had several three-way sexual encounters with Mr. Kelly and an allegedly under-age victim. The prosecution witness, Lisa Van Allen, 27, told jurors on Monday that Mr. Kelly, the R&B star, offered her $250,000 last year to recover a tape of one of the trysts, The Associated Press reported. She denied a defense lawyer’s accusation that she was trying to extort money, but admitted stealing his $20,000 diamond-studded watch. Mr. Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to charges of videotaping himself having sex with a girl who prosecutors say was as young as 13. On Tuesday, the judge, Vincent Gaughan, issued a new order for a Chicago Sun-Times reporter to appear in court. The reporter, Jim DeRogatis, who was sent the tape in question, has argued that his actions are protected under the First Amendment.

In the crowded field of abdomen-undulating R&B boychiks, Usher has long been king, thanks to his tender and nimble vocals. But since his Grammy-winning 2004 album, "Confessions," with its plotlines worthy of a telenovela, he's weathered even more major personal changes: breakups, makeups, one wedding and the birth of his first child.

Catapulted firmly into manhood, Usher now revisits the booty-shaking, babymaking content of his material with a more confident and relaxed cool that smacks of -- could it be? -- maturity.

Bookended by a heartfelt prelude that sounds like a love letter to his wife and a socially conscious hidden end track that explores poverty and loss, his new album, "Here I Stand," boasts a full plate of sensual crooning and titillating fantasy.

To a pulsing, new wave synth, Will.I.Am gives "What's Your Name" an exuberant pop sensibility with his production and vocal cameo. And Jay-Z shows up to compare notes on "Best Thing": "Seeds become plants/boys become men." But the blue ribbon guest spots are not the main attraction on "Here I Stand." The song concepts are.

For the sexy slow dance of "Trading Places," Usher switches up gender roles in a vividly illustrated rendezvous. And the morning after: "I'll wake you up to a cup of Folgers, pancakes and eggs/I owe you breakfast in bed." Funny how female advancement comes from the most unexpected places -- like a well-crafted Usher album cut.

But it's not all toast and orange juice; there are scars and sadness, too. To a gloomy piano track with a thumping backbeat on "His Mistakes," Usher conveys the sorrow of loving a woman with unresolved baggage from her past. His storytelling skills and flair for quiet drama ooze out of such lyrics as, "He left a scar across your heart/I understand, girl/Don't let his wrongs tear us apart."

The lead single, "Love in This Club," fully explores in two separate versions the possibilities of illicit lovemaking on the dance floor. The Polow Da Don-produced track ripples like strobe light, inducing a subdued shoulder shimmying rather than all-out roof raising, like Usher's monster freakfest from a few years back, "Yeah!" with Ludacris and Lil' Jon.

Young Jeezy sneers through witty punch lines in the first version, and an intoxicated-sounding Lil Wayne and a kittenish Beyoncé exchange flirtations on the Sounds-produced remix. In both versions of "Love in This Club," there's a mighty pressure coming from three different male voices to persuade one woman to succumb to spontaneous sex.

Beyoncé is this sole voice of female reason, fending off her various suitors: "I strongly doubt this velvet rope would hold me up/And I don't want security rollin' up on us."

Wayne croaks his wily seductions with the help of a little vocoder -- "Meet me in the bathroom and you could be my secret lover girl" -- as Usher exhales his breathy ad-libs in the background.

Illicit bathroom sex might not be the realm of fathers and husbands, but in Usher's world, it's all about flirting with fantasy.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are married, at least for now. The couple tied the knot Saturday in an intimate ceremony, according to People.com. Simpson, 23, wore an ivory lace wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier accessorized with a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane as she and Wentz, 28, exchanged vows in front of 150 guests at Simpson's parents' LA home. Her father, Joe Simpson, performed the nondenominational ceremony, while the bride's sister Jessica served as maid of honor. Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer. Guests included Jessica's boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo; Nicole Richie and Joel Madden; and actor Donald Faison with girlfriend CaCee Cobb. The Alice in Wonderland-themed reception featured a wedding cake with a top hat, teapot, stopwatch, and a pot of flowers on top. Simpson, who's pregnant with the couple's first child, and Wentz, the bassist for Fall Out Boy, have been together since 2006. They announced their engagement last month.
