More tabloid gossip about Amy Winehouse for you today, then. The beleaguered singer is again in the headlines, firstly because of allegations of racism, due to some video footage showing Amy and a friend singing a song whilst husband Blake Fielder-Civil is heard off camera, egging the pair on but promising that he wasn't filming them. The problem, mainly, are the lyrics to the song - new words to the old childhood classic 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees And Toes' - which apparently (I've not seen it) go: "Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips". The tape was, it's claimed, given to The News Of The World, by someone "determined to show the world just what power Blake wields in manipulating the vulnerable young star".
I seriously doubt that Amy Winehouse is genuinely racist. But if I were her, I'd definitely cheat on her husband, and according to more NOTW claims, she has. Her mother in law Georgette told the aforementioned tabloid that Winehouse had confessed about the incidents to Fielder-Civil during a visit to Pentonville, where he's been banged up. According to reports, it's Towers of London bassist Kristian Marr and her manager's assistant Alex Haines who won her favour.
Georgette is quoted as saying: "Amy was so riddled with shame she visited Blake in Pentonville and confessed all. Blake sounded terrible when he told me. I find her timing incredibly cruel. He was focused on his trial and fighting for his freedom. Now he's a broken man, knowing his wife has cheated on him twice. He feels humiliated. Amy's infidelity is inexcusable. Blake says she's filled with self-disgust and now feels worthless. She knows she has let him down and blamed the drugs and the booze. She said she hates everything about herself."
