Amy Winehouse Update – Husband Self Harms, But Planning Post-Prison Baby


When we last left Amy Winehouse, the British trainwreck was returning from a sunny holiday in the Caribbean, with her ex-boyfriend George Roberts. This has sent her imprisoned husband Blake Fielder-Civil into a tailspin (as if he wasn’t already spinning enough) and caused him to inflict some self harm.

Blake’s former cell-mate Bill Gage wrote in his diary: “What Blake wants is not fame or a drug-fueled mess of a life. He wants a happy life with his wife.

“He is missing her like crazy. He breaks down in tears – he is falling apart.

“After spending four days in solitary he went mad and had to be treated to cuts to his arm. He is doing his best to survive without Amy but admits it’s the hardest thing he has ever done.”

Don’t feel too bad Blake – while on holiday Amy apparently had a fair case of the runs. I’ve heard this can happen to recovering addicts, so hopefully it means that Amy was off the drugs while away.

Blake’s mother felt it necessary to add her two cents worth of opinion about Amy’s holiday to the British press, asking “What signal is it sending out? Amy’s husband is stuck in jail and she’s cavorting with an old boyfriend. What’s she playing at? It’s just not on.”

It’s not all bad news for Amy. While she still is facing charges of cannabis possession in Norway that may affect her ability to get a US visa, it seems likely her British charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice will be dropped.

And what better way to celebrate Amy’s freedom, and Blake’s eventual release from prison, than by having a baby?

‘She told Blake she wants to get pregnant as soon as she can,’ an insider tells the Sunday People.

‘She reckons it would pull them together as a family and help them focus their lives on something positive.

‘It sounds like a crazy idea, but on the other hand it could be the thing that adds stability to her life.’

It sounds like a crazy idea because it is. Amy Winehouse can’t even remember to put on a shirt when she leaves the house, how can she cope with looking after a baby? How can a man who self harms in prison pull himself together enough to take care of an infant? Being in prison changes people, and I’m not sure that Blake or Amy realize what the future holds. Fortunately the Sunday People isn’t the most reliable source, hopefully Amy will hold off on the baby for a few more years. A bundle of joy I’d much rather see coming from her is a new album.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Amy Winehouse is shown returning from vacation this weekend, thanks to Splash. Blake Fielder Civil is shown pre-prison on 11/5/07, thanks to WENN.
