NEW YORK (AP) -January 22, 2008
In grainy footage obtained by British tabloid The Sun,
Winehouse, 24, is seen inhaling fumes from some sort of pipe
reportedly hours before showing up for husband Blake
Fielder-Civil's court appearance in London on Friday.
Winehouse, who dyed her hair blond and ditched her signature
black hair done up in a beehive hairdo, can be seen walking around.
She sits down and, before lighting the pipe, can be heard saying
that she's "had about six Valium." On the wall behind her is a
photo of Winehouse and Fielder-Civil.
Her publicist, Tracey Miller, declined to comment Tuesday.
Universal Records didn't immediately respond to an e-mail and phone
call from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Winehouse - with her erratic behavior - has fed the tabloids a
consistent diet of melodrama in recent months thanks to lackluster
performances, reports of alleged drug use and her relationship with
Fielder-Civil.
Last month, the troubled singer, whose songs include "Rehab"
and "You Know I'm No Good," was photographed walking outside her
London home wearing a bra and jeans, with no shoes, looking upset.
Winehouse attracted yet more attention in court Friday when she
blew Fielder-Civil kisses and shouted out, "I love you handsome,
gorgeous one," as he was led away after facing charges of assault
and conspiracy.
Fielder-Civil, 25, is accused of attacking a pub landlord and
then later conspiring with him to withdraw as a witness at the
trial. Fielder-Civil pleaded innocent to the charge of assault, and
is expected to plead to a charge of perverting the course of
justice next month.
Winehouse is nominated for six Grammy Awards including best new
artist and album of the year for her acclaimed disc "Back to
Black," plus record and song of the year for the brassy hit
"Rehab." The awards will be presented Feb. 10 in Los Angeles.
