Amy Winehouse shows up 4 hours late for first day of husband’s trial

Amy Winehouse showed up for the first day of husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s trial today – but in classic Amy style, she made her appearance four hours late. Fielder-Civil is being tried on charges of assault and witness tampering. Yeah, he’s all sorts of classy. He’s been held in jail for over six months while he awaited trial. Amy did her best to clean herself up. She managed to wear a decent dress and put on her best beehive. But she still had crack-addict skin and the generally slovenly Winehouse appearance.

Amy Winehouse turned up more than four hours late to court to show support for husband Blake Fielder-Civil on Monday. Asked how her husband looked, Winehouse told PEOPLE: “He’s gorgeous as f—. Haven’t you seen him before?”

Dressed in a blue spotted shirtdress, cream platform peep-toe Christian Louboutin shoes and carrying a black quilted Chanel handbag, Winehouse arrived at court shortly after 2 p.m. She sat alone in the court’s empty front row, blowing kisses and mouthing “I love you” to her husband, who was seated behind glass across the courtroom.

The singer appeared alternately dazed, bored, and outraged as pretrial arguments wore on. At one point, Fielder-Civil got the bailiff to have the court’s usher fetch one of Fielder-Civil’s lawyers in order to relay a message to his wife. After a whispered conversation with the lawyer, Winehouse rummaged in her handbag and held up a heart brooch bearing the word “Blake” in her husband’s direction.

Winehouse continued a mouthed conversation with her husband until the usher stopped her. At about 4 p.m., she motioned to her husband that she’d had enough and was leaving. “I love you, you’re fit,” she said, using the British slang for gorgeous as she stood up and exited the courtroom.

What a picture of wifely devotion. Winehouse had quite the hickey on her neck when she gave a widely-panned performance at her concert in Lisbon on Friday night. Here’s Winehouse at court today in London. Images thanks to Splash.

    Is it just me or does it also look like she’s sporting some scratches on her arm?

  2. Jaundice Machine says:

    Yeah. She’s a cutter. Poor bitch.

  3. bc says:

    cassie – really? you haven’t seen pictures and pictures and pictures of her with cuts on her arms? you are just noticing “scratches” today? …

  4. Cassie says:

    BC – Obviously, but given the ‘attempt’ to clean up for the trial you’d think she’d at least, I don’t know, throw on a sweater to cover those up?

    I know she’s a major crackhead but can anyone explain why she’s always so cut up and everything? Is she a huge klutz, does she cut herself, does she decorate her home with lovely potted thornbushes, is it perhaps a bit of all of the above??…

    OH! Haha, I didn’t see that earlier post, my bad.

    Is that like, confirmed though, or just kind of assumed? In either case it’s a real shame how messed up she’s gotten, she used to be a great talent.

    that has much more info, and too true about the wasted talent, it’s a real shame.

  8. Jaundice Machine says:

    There’s no way those cuts are accidental. She’s most-assuredly self-harming. Poor thing.

    you have me rollin’ on the floor, HAHAA!! potted thornbushes!! *wiping tears now*

    Cassie, I’ll paraphrase a great quote I read about a month ago: “When you hurt yourself on the outside, you’re screaming on the inside.” That’s Winehouse.
