Yesterday afternoon, cops raided the home of Amy Winehouse and her bottom-feeding, hat-favoring spouse, Blake Fielder-Civil. They allegedly used battering rams to get in, even! What a hilarious mental image: English bobbies in funny little hats breaking down a door and then bumbling about, saying, "Sorry. Sorry. Teddibly sorry about the mess, luv." Our gossip Assistant D.A., FemaleFirst, has the 411:
The troubled singer – who has battled alcohol and drug addictions – was out collecting a parcel when eight plain-clothes policemen using battering rams and crowbars smashed through the front door of her Camden house at 4.45pm yesterday (08.11.07).
A distraught Amy then watched husband Blake Fielder-Civil be taken away by police over charges of a conspiracy to pervert justice through his involvement with a £200,000 plot to fix a trial. Looking tearful and confused, and hyperventilating, 24-year-old Amy cried as handcuffed Blake was led away by police: "Baby, I love you. Baby, I'll be fine. I'll be fine, baby I love you."
Blake's mother, Georgette, said: "Amy is totally distraught. She's in pieces and rang me in a panic. She's too upset to talk right now, but we all need to be together. I'm on my way to see her now."
Blake, along with his friend Michael Brown, have both been accused of brutally assaulting barman James King, and allegedly offered him £200,000 in a bid to get him to change his police statement. If 25-year-old Blake is convicted of conspiracy to pervert justice, he could receive a life sentence.
We're just as surprised as you are. There was probaly 18 tons of pure crack chilling underneath the mattress, yet the cops nail Blake on some sort of pervert charge. Well, considering this is probably the only way that we'll ever get another album out of Amy–or get her to show up for concerts and video shoots–this is probably a good thing. Unless Blake has to forfeit his jaunty chapeaux in prison. That would be a tragedy of epic proportions.
