"I told you I was trouble," Amy Winehouse has recently been claiming. "You know that I'm no good." Amy, we know the feeling, but it's important to remember that everyone slips up once in a while. We'd urge you to forget about your weekend's mistakes and misdemeanours, switch off your overworked mobile phone, and pour your energies into Gay Spy's seven-day entertainment guide. It's as cosy, nourishing and wholesome as a home-made shepherd's pie. Well, almost.

Monday

What's happening? Leona Lewis releases 'Bleeding Love' on CD single and download.

Why should you care? The X Factor champion will have to nuke competition from the good (McFly), the great (Take That) and the properly bonkers (Britney) if she wants to claim this week's number one spot, but we reckon she's got the tune to do it.

Tuesday

What's happening? ITV2 goes Ghosthunting With McFly at 9pm.

Why should you care? When Yvette Fielding marched Girls Aloud around the nation's haunted homes, she managed to turn the feisty five-piece - normally as brash and brazen as a troupe of Albert Docks hookers - into shrieking scaredy-cats. Can she do the same to the McFly lads? Well, whatever happens, Dougie's welcome to pop over to Gay Spy if he needs a bit of reassurance.

Wednesday

What's happening? London's Salsa Rosada hosts a hot 'n' spicy dance class for gay men and women.

Why should you care? Well, your evening will begin with a sensual, rhythmic and energetic activity, so who knows where it's likely to end?

Thursday

What's happening? Sandra Bernhard begins a three-date residence at London's Shaw Theatre.

Why should you care? The comedian, former Roseanne star and one-time Madonna-smoocher brings her 'Everything Bad and Beautiful' show to the UK. Hurrah! Word on the street suggests that Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Laura Bush are likely to get burned by the infamous Bernhard bile.

Friday

What's happening? Sky Three takes us Backstage at the Big Top at 8.30pm.

Why should you care? Though Brian Dowling will be dishing the latest Cirque de Celebrité gossip in the foreground - yawn! - Kyal Marsh will probably be wandering about with his top off in the background. We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed.

Saturday

What's happening? Booty Luv perform at Nightingales in Birmingham.

Why should you care? Over the last 12 months Nadia and Cherise have been responsible for more dropped handbags than a butter-fingered Topshop sales assistant, so they'll know how to get the party started at Birmingham's biggest gay dancing den. Altogether now: "I found a place, yeah, where we could boogie..."

Sunday

What's happening? London's Drill Hall presents AIDS: The Dark Muse.

Why should you care? This enlightening event examines the impact of HIV and AIDS on gay culture over the last three decades, with particular recourse to the worlds of film, art, clubbing, politics and porn. Attendance + Thought = Expanded horizons, we'd imagine.
