Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch don't seem too impressed with his daughter's decision to hang out with that "scumbag" Pete Dohety. His description I should add. Speaking to Grazia magazine about Amy's decision to hang out with Pete since her other half Blake Fielder Civil was jailed, he said: "I do worry about people like Pete Doherty. He's a scumbag. I flipped when I saw him sitting with Amy backstage at her Brixton gig. That night I went crazy. My wife thought I was going to have a heart attack, I was apoplectic".
Commenting on the current Amy/Blake situation, he continued: "I know the real problem is she's depressed about Blake being in prison. I wasn't in favour of the marriage, but they are married and I will support them, and he's shown while he's been in prison a level of maturity that he didn't have before. I haven't seen him, but Amy says he's put on two stone and he's asking for her help to improve in a number of ways, and that's good to hear".
Elsewhere in Winehouse news, word has it the police may question the singer over her husband's alleged attempts to pervert the course of justice, mainly because he allegedly bribed a witness in an assault case he was involved in, and some wonder if Amy may have been funding that bribe, knowingly or otherwise. Gossipers are wondering if that means the singer could be implicated in some of the charges faced by Blake. A source from Scotland Yard has been quoted as saying: "We do want to talk to her about matters, particularly financial ones, which may be important in this case. It seems that in her marriage she has been the breadwinner and has kept her husband in pocket money. We have looked at their financial affairs and there are questions we'd like to ask her".
