ahhh! i knew all this good news couldn't last! it seems our favourite crap husband, blake fielder-civil, is now a free man! according to the telegraph, blaaake is now in rehab. amy is reported to be at her camden home (as pictured above).
our heroine has not been seen in public since the "end of summer" fiasco, but she did give an impromptu interview to some ballsy french woman through her camden intercom. there was talk of blaaake, bien sur, but nothing revelatory.
my favourite part of the interview is this exchange:
frenchie: "what can i wish for you amy?"
amy: "huh?"
frenchie: "what can we wish you for the future?"
amy: "don't worry about me, worry about yourselves and promise me you'll buy my album"
blaaake has written a lot of icky letters from jail over the past months, but this time he might have gone too far. mitch winehouse claims he received a 6-page letter from blaaake rife with violent threats and abuse. the letter is now in the hands of police; a source close to mitch says:
“I could hear Mitch physically shaking when he phoned to tell me about the letter...He couldn’t even bring himself to read it out loud as it was just too sickening...But he told me that Blake described graphic scenes from a horror movie, in which Mitch is the victim...Part of Mitch wants to pursue this further with the police, maybe even taking out a restraining order...But then he is worried about it all driving a wedge between him and Amy.”
the question is: whose side will wino be on? her father's or her waste-of-space husband's? i'd like to think she'd side with the former, but something tells me she'd stand by her blaaake and make excuses. "he's just creative, dad! he wants to write a screenplay, don't you know? he just wanted some feedback!"
when it comes to the imprisoned blaaake story, there are more flip-flops than a beach in miami. turns out blaaake will NOT be released from jail early- edmund's hill prison has rejected his application.
georgette had this to say:
“Blake and Amy are devastated and I am livid...The Probation Service told us they were happy for him to live with us and we expected him home. Now they have told Blake he will either have go to rehab or a hostel or stay in prison until he completes his sentence. It’s a disgrace...I am going to take my protest to the Home Secretary. I’m going to get my Blake home.”
protest what? blaaake completing his sentence? like the home secretary gives a crap about some spoiled rock star husband!
winehousewatchers, hold on to your macs and hats: it looks like sid's about to be reunited with her nancy!! blaaake is getting out of jail early! he's finally agreed to the conditions of living with mom, wearing an electronic tag and keeping to a 7pm curfew. blaaake's master plan is to take a daily cab to and from georgette's house 280 miles from camden, costing approx. £894.40. he might as well buy himself a private jet for that kind of cash- a week of trips would cost £6,260.80, almost $13,000 US dollars.
a source says:
“Amy is obviously chuffed. But more surprisingly, even her family and friends are pleased...Because Blake will have to lead this disciplined life to keep in line with his conditions of release they are hoping it will rub off on her too...He has to be back at his mum’s every evening — and he’s so jealous and controlling he won’t want her up to no good without him.”
what!? sheeya, right! the winehouses must be the most naive group of people in london. blaaake will kiss his wife hello and within seconds he'll be high off her fumes.
"Amy has had so many letdowns over the past few months. One minute she’s told he is coming out, then he’s not...Once he’s out he had better behave. A single breach of his curfew could have him whisked back into prison.”
i can see it now. georgette will nag him to clean his room and pick up his towels. wino will drive him mental with her shenanigans. he'll be so exhausted dealing with two crazy women he'll miss his curfew on purpose to return to his jail cell for some peace, quiet and good drugs.
if the residents of camden hear tortured howls of "blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!" ringing through the air tonight, they can blame everyone's favourite crap husband, blake fielder-civil. edmund's hill prison's offer of early release on the condition of entering rehab has been refused, demonstrating blaaake's firm commitment to wino's anthem.
a source says:
"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 doesn’t bode well for him and Amy when he finally does get out."
blaaake is so stupid. he could have gotten out of jail, paid lip service to rehab and be back in amy's scraggly arms before the leaves fall. together, they could have happily huffed fake snow whilst decorating their crack den in homemade tinfoil ornaments. BLAAAKE REFUSES RELEASE ONCE AGAIN
waking up this morning to the sun's article about wino posting a naked shot of blaaake online was a bigger jolt than a quadruple espresso. you can also read about it on dlisted, which might make you spit out any morning beverage.
but that's not all in blaaake news! it gets better! apparently mr. fielder-civil has chosen to STAY IN JAIL rather than be released with conditions including staying at his mom georgette's house, following a 7pm curfew and wearing an electronic tag. officials were all ready to release him today but he is much happier in his cell. a source said:
"It was all set for him to be released, but he refused to go to anywhere other than Camden...He doesn’t want to go somewhere where he can’t be reunited with Amy and his friends. He’d rather stay inside."
just yesterday they said he failed a drug test. today they were ready to release him but he said, "no no no". something is not right here...does this mean the media sometimes, um, LIES!? BLAAAKE PREFERS JAIL TO MOM'S HOUSE
wino's beehive will be her new year's eve date after all. blaaake has failed a random jailhouse drug test and will be spending an extra 28 days inside.
georgette had a lot to say about amy and blaaake to the news of the world, so much so i had to split the article's contents into two posts. that's a lie; the truth is i like to get in as many "blaaake" items in as possible. there is nothing more satisfying than typing blaaake. my pinky finger loves the little dance that typing 3 a's in a row requires. blaaake! blaaake! blaaake! wheee! thanks again, dlisted!
anyway, it sounds like a vacation in blaaake's new cell. georgette says:
“Blake’s been given his own room with an ensuite shower...He also has a TV, CD player and a shelf full of books in his room...He even has his own key so he can lock himself in if he wants privacy...It’s so much nicer than Pentonville, which was the pitts...Edmunds Hill is a really clean and lovely nick...And the difference in Blake since he’s been in there is absolutely amazing...Unlike in Pentonville, no one taunts him about Amy...They are respectful and don’t even mention her name to him...Instead of doing work in prison, Blake has chosen to do an educational course to keep him busy and is doing art and writing...They are preparing him for life on the outside...But he will be very disappointed with Amy’s behaviour...The video will come as a bitter blow to him.”
ensuite shower, tv, cd player, shelf full of books...sounds better than most dorm rooms! my first apartment was a shit hole compared to blaaake's prison mansion. i once lived in an apartment with a tv so crappy it had no remote and you had to stroke it * just * right to turn the volume up/down. and i considered myself lucky to watch fuzzy episodes of the simpsons on sundays. blaaake probably has a remote even though he can reach the tv from his bed.
although i'm pretty liberal, it annoys me to hear about convicts taking advantage of free education in jail when it's so expensive for the rest of us law abiding citizens. but judging from blaaake's sexy fun time letters to a fellow jailbird, he could use some lessons in grammar. GEORGETTE CAN'T STOP TALKING
o, wino, when will you learn to take drugs in the toilet like a good junkie?
a 36 second video showing wino snorting coke at a camden pub last month has been released. in the grainy footage, wino snorts away in the middle of the club, in front of a union jack.
georgette fielder-civil, blaaake's mama, had a lot to say about this. here are some quotes from her latest interview:
“Prison will do Amy far more good than Rehab...I’m shocked by the video. When I look at Amy I think: ‘For Christ’s sake, just get a grip of yourself.’...Enough is enough...As the police know Amy is a drug addict - and she has now been caught twice on film taking illegal drugs - they should arrest her and put her behind bars....Rehab clinics are a waste of money, unless you want them to work...Amy doesn’t want to give up drugs, so she’s got to learn the hard way in prison...Police have to act. She is making a mockery of the law. It has got to stop...The price Amy has got to pay is losing her freedom.”
she also goes on to talk up her angel of a son, blaaake: “When he went in Pentonville last November he was in a terrible mess. His skin was a horrible dirty yellow colour, he was painfully thin and he had dead eyes. I will never forget that haunted look. I feared we were going to lose him...But they gave him amazing medical treatment in prison to get him off drugs and then helped him conquer his personal demons...It worked a miracle...Now nine months on he looks amazing. He has put on nearly two stone in weight, his skin is glowing with health and he is so relaxed and happy...But while Blake has been inside, Amy has gone disastrously downhill...Prison worked for Blake. It’s the only thing that can now save Amy.”
if wino went to jail, she'd still get high. and i'll believe all this talk of blaaake being a new man when i see it.
six years ago, russell brand was in the throes of heroin addiction. since attending rehab at focus 12, he's been dead sober. today, he is attempting to help winehouse get clean.
The soul artist is reported to have booked into the small Focus 12 clinic in Bury St Edmunds, where comedian Russell Brand was treated for his addiction to drugs.
It is only 15 miles from Category C Highpoint Prison, near Newmarket, where Fielder-Civil was sent after being moved from Pentonville Prison in London earlier this month.
Her father Mitch Winehouse said: "This is a very good idea. If she can get clean and still see Blake it can only be good."
Two weeks ago it was reported that Winehouse was flat-hunting in Bury St Edmunds to make it easier to visit her 26-year-old husband.
It was then that Brand, a presenter on Radio 2, suggested to Focus 12 chief executive Chip Somers that she could get treatment locally at the same time. Mr Somers agreed and contacted the star.
i hate to be a debbie downer, but can wino really be successful in rehab? being so famous and so under the microscope, can she fully participate in focus 12's group counselling? she must be so afraid of someone selling her out to the tabloids: "winehouse spills secrets! secret cell phone footage!"
aw, but brand stepping in to help...how deliciously, bizarrely appropriate. wino's beehive must have appeared to ol' russ in a dream, singing the chorus of wonderwall. check out the youtube link below of wino on brand's tv show. no doubt about it-they are definitely cut from the same mad genius cloth (russ yells at wino, "winehouse, do a record you lunatic! sing it out of your gob!").
mark your calenders! blaaake could be out of jail in time for new year! georgette fielder-civil says:
"We’re hoping that his probation officer will advise him to stay with us. If he’s linked with drugs on his weekend visit he will lose the right to come out early...He will be released on December 30 if he’s a good boy. I’ve told him to keep his head down.”
stay with mum and step-dad? no way! wino will wrap her tattooed arms around blaaake's skinny torso and drag him everywhere she goes. blaaake will be transported from one clinch to another!
this documentary, "what really happened?", makes for really good viewing. it's shocking to see the early footage of wino, plump and powerful, contrasted against her recent state. the interviews with blaaake's father, mitch and the people who knew her as a teenager are fascinating, as is the sound of her voice as she sings for a room of record company execs at age 17.
"Blake recently tore down pictures of Amy from his cell walls. And warders feared he might top himself after he burst into floods of tears and screamed: “Why me?”...He has been having counselling from Samaritans but begged staff to move him from Pentonville because he felt suicidal. "
ooo, a good old fashioned jail cell freakout. now that's rock n roll!
psychologists should add "giving up mopping" to their list of early indicators of a breakdown. i apologize for having mocked in a previous post the pentonville prison source/genius. next time i visit someone i love and they have a dirty kitchen floor, i will ask some gentle questions.
wino is apparently searching for a flat to be closer to blaaake. i'm sure her new small town neighbours are going to just love the circus.
blaaake is depressed in jail! omg! what has he done to display his angst? has he cut himself/overdosed/written suicide notes!?
no, my friends, it's even worse!
HE'S OFF THE MOP!
a source at London’s Pentonville Prison said:
“Blake is on the verge of a nervous breakdown...He has stopped his mopping job, which may sound funny, but it gave him something to do. Instead he mopes around his cell."
yes, source at London's Pentonville Prison, it DOES sound funny. ceasing to mop endless jailhouse floors does not indicate a nervous breakdown. blaaake probably has a new penpal to write dirty letters to or has reached the climax of a michael crichton novel.
it took merely hours for the tabloid king THE SUN to run a trashy piece, complete with a nasty quote from blaaake's mother, georgette fielder-civil: “I’m not surprised she’s in hospital again. But all that matters to me right now is our son.”
and a precise one from mr. winehouse: "she's f***ed up! she's f***ed up!"
later, mitch kindly brought his ailing daughter some dirty bird. lifting up two greasy bags, he stated cryptically: “This is how serious it is — I’m bringing her some KFC.”
ew. the image of winehouse gnawing at chicken in a hospital bed should not have been put into my mind. it's like a scene from a creepy old pre-war german film. nightmares guaranteed. MITCH BRINGS WINO KFC
yes! only 24 hours into winehousewatch and i have the distinct honour of posting a "blaaake" item! dlisted, that bastion of celebrity gossip, coined the triple-a monicker for fielder-civil, and there's no going back to spelling blake with one A! "blaaake" is an onomatopoeia! "blaaake" is jazz poetry!
anyway, according to mirror.co.uk, mitch winehouse, shy, private man that he is, had this to say:
"Blake totally gets it. He said to me, 'We can't carry on living in London. We need to move out to the country'...If they do they could have the most fantastic life together, with the full blessing of my family. Whatever happens, we won't be where we are now in two years' time."
mitch also claims that amy and blaaake have a pre-nup. let's all exhale a collective sigh of cigarette smoke.
apparently blaaake and mitch have called a truce, agreeing that "taking Amy away from the bad influences that surround her in the city is the only way to rescue her." awwww. the love. BLAAAKE BEGS AMY TO LEAVE LONDON
behold the glorious trainwreck that is AMY WINEHOUSE!!
here it is, people. all the links you need to get your weekly, daily or hourly winehouse fix, depending how insane she is and how busy i am.
read this: can amy be saved?

ahhh! i knew all this good news couldn't last! it seems our favourite crap husband, blake fielder-civil, is now a free man! according to the telegraph, blaaake is now in rehab. amy is reported to be at her camden home (as pictured above).
