Romeo and Juliet. Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. Snow White and Prince Charming. Many couples in history and fable embody everlasting love, but none quite as much as Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil. Blake is currently serving a sentence in the pokey for beating up a bartender and then bribing him to shut up about it, and authorities offered to parole him and he was all, "nah." The Sun has the scoop:
Amy Winehouseís junkie husband Blake Fielder-Civil has rejected a second chance to leave jail early ó after prison bosses said he would have to go straight into rehab. They offered to cut his stay at Suffolkís Edmunds Hill prison by more than two months if he agreed to the detox. But he turned down the deal.
A week ago he was told he would be released if he went to live with his mother in Nottinghamshire and wore an electronic tag. But again he chose his grubby life behind bars over freedom.
Last night a friend of Amy said: "This will be another blow for her. Blake could have gone to rehab and sorted himself out but would rather see out his sentence in prison. All he wants is a free reign when he leaves, which means living with Amy back in Camden. But if he is turning down these chances to leave jail and get clean, it doesnít bode well for him and Amy when he finally does get out."
This might seem like an unbelievable turn of events, but keep in mind that English jail is a veritable Candyland for a junkie, with inmates in porkpie hats, jumpers, and Wellies choreographing musical numbers about skag to Oliver Twist songs and high tea served with scones, clotted cream, and crack.
