The Week, With Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse in Kidnapping Plot

British junkie Amy Winehouse may have been the target of a kidnapping plot by British criminals. The plot was said to be organized by London Pentonville Prisoners in a bid to get $200,000 from her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Doesn't it sound like a soap opera? A source tells British newspaper the News Of The World, "Blake's petrified. He's living in fear for Amy's life and his own. At first he thought the guys in here were just trying their luck but the threats have got really bad. He's now under no illusions and convinced they'll go through with what they say. "They've ordered Blake to pay the 100 grand ($200,000) into a secret bank account within the next few days or else... and Amy will be snatched and harmed. She's at her weakest right now, and what with her wandering the streets in the dead of night she's at a massive risk."



AMY WINEHOUSE has been banned from no-strings visits to her jailbird husband after he failed a drugs test.
The troubled singer can now only see BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, 25, from behind a glass screen with no physical contact.
The move by London’s Pentonville prison, where Fielder-Civil is awaiting trial over assault and trial-fixing allegations, comes after he tested positive last week for a Class A drug, thought to be heroin. Visits to remand prisoners normally take place in an open hall with officers patrolling. But an insider said: “As a precaution, the governor has banned Amy from having any more open visits with Blake. “They now have to meet in a room separated by a bullet-proof glass screen.” Amy, 24, is known to hide drugs in her bird’s-nest hairdo when on stage.

Jagger and Adams invite Winehouse to Caribbean for Christmas

Rockers Mick Jagger and Bryan Adams hope to cure troubled singer Amy Winehouse of her drink and drugs addiction by inviting her to spend Christmas with them in the Caribbean. Jagger and Adams - who both own homes on the island of Mustique - have offered to spend the festive season with Winehouse after her husband Blake Fielder-Civil was told he would be spending Christmas in jail.

Amy Winehouse turned up to visit jailed husband Blake Fielder Civil sporting badly burnt fingers. A spokesperson for the singer said her fingers “are absolutely fine and not blackened.”

Amy Winehouse says 'no, no, no' to Kabbalah

No one can deny Amy Winehouse needs help, but the troubled star won't be turning to Kabbalah for assistance.
The 24-year-old singer set her heart on one of the organisation's trademark red string bracelets after spotting a girl wearing one in the street. Kabbalah?: It's a 'no, no, no' from Wino who reportedly objected to the £18 price tag for a bracelet
The bracelets are said to ward off evil spirits but Amy, it seems, had no interest in their spiritual side – she just wanted one as a fashion statement.

"Amy saw someone wearing one and thought it was cool," says a chum. "She stopped the person who gave her a Kabbalah handbook and told her to see a Kabbalah rabbi if she wanted a bracelet. "Amy baulked when she discovered the bracelets cost £18 and said she'd give the rabbi a miss." The handbook, I'm told, went in the bin.
