Shortly after the sad news broke that “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn had been killed in a catastrophic car accident early Monday morning in Pennsylvania, the web took notice of his Twitter feed, to which he posted a photo of himself drinking with friends just hours before the crash.

While the police report did not indicate that drinking was a factor in the horrific crash — speed, the report said, may have been a contributor — movie critic and prolific twitterer Roger Ebert sent out a critical message that some are calling insensitive.

“Friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive,” he tweeted around 3 pm EST. The message was met with a barrage of push back, including from blogger Perez Hilton’s site.

“We certainly agree that driving after drinking is wrong, we think there’s no reason – especially RIGHT NOW – that anyone should be pointing fingers or poking fun at a truly tragic situation,” the site wrote. “Everyone makes mistake, and this is somebody’s son. Too soon, Roger.”

“Jackass” star Ryan Dunn, who along with his cast mates made Americans cringe and snicker through vulgar stunts in their multimillion-dollar TV and movie franchise, was killed early Monday in a fiery car crash. He was 34.

Dunn, a daredevil who gained notoriety for diving into a sewage tank and performing other unsavory stunts, was driving his 2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia when it careened off the road, flipped over a guardrail and crashed into the woods before bursting into flames. A passenger, Zachary Hartwell, 30, of West Chester, Pa., was also killed, and speed may have been a factor in the crash, West Goshen Township police said.

The force of impact shattered the vehicle into several twisted and blackened pieces, leaving the Porsche 911 GT3 unrecognizable except for a door that was thrown from the crash and not incinerated. A 100-foot-long tire skid marked where the car left the roadway.

Both Dunn and Hartwell were severely burned. Police said they were able to identify Dunn through his tattoos and hair.

Dunn appeared on MTV shows “Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” and the three “Jackass” big-screen adaptations. He also was the star of his own MTV show, “Homewrecker,” and just began hosting the show “Proving Ground” on the G4 cable network.

Amy Winehouse, the British singer who has been in and out of rehab, won’t be appearing in Istanbul on Monday and Athens on Wednesday after a show in Serbia last night that had audience members booing and walking out, reports the Associated Press.

Winehouse, best known for the 2008 Grammy-winning song Rehab, arrived late and appeared somewhat disoriented on stage at Saturday’s show, which was supposed to kick off a 12-date tour of Europe, says the AP. Her representatives at Outside Organization told the wire service that the fate of her remaining concerts would be “worked out as soon as possible.”

The singer would like to say sorry to fans expecting to see her in Turkey and Greece, but “feels that this is the right thing to do,” a statement from Winehouse’s publicity team said. “Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home,” it added.

According to the AP, Winehouse was jeered as she performed in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade. Reports say that after arriving very late, she took to the stage, where she stumbled around, mumbled as if she couldn’t remember lyrics, sometimes dropped her microphone and disappeared for periods of time.

Kathy Griffin just does not want to leave Bristol Palin alone to save her life. Only a matter of months after getting booed for making fun of the onetime “Dancing with the Stars” contestant’s weight during a comedy special for the American military, the comedienne is back on the offensive again in a Bravo stand-up special airing next Thursday.

This time, it looks as though Grififn is going after the corrective jaw surgery Bristol recently underwent — something that the 20-year old admits has ended up making her happier with her appearance:

“It looks like she took a picture of Jay Leno, went to the dentist and said, ‘Can I have this?’”
