Amy Winehouse from jail to new man

Amy Winehouse from jail to new man One can say it's been a bad week for Brit singer Amy Winehouse, who not only visited a police station, but is now in a middle of a cheating scandal. First the "good news" - Winehouse has been just cautioned for common assault, spending the night in the cells at Holborn Station in London. The 24-year-old singer was questioned by police about an assault in north London on Wednesday, after she agreed to attend the station voluntarily. The caution means Amy Winehouse has not been charged, but the incident will remain on the record and could count against her if she is ever charged with a similar offence in future. A spokesman for Winehouse said the following: "Amy Winehouse was questioned this morning at a London police station in connection to an incident in Camden in the early hours of 23 April, 2008. She admitted to a common assault by slapping a man with an open hand and accepted a caution. Amy was fully co-operative with inquiries and apologized for the incident. She thanked the police for their professional handling of the matter. There will be no further action taken. Amy is looking forward to continuing her work on new music in the studio."

But the one-night-stand in jail was quickly eclipsed, after News of The World reported that Amy Winehouse had started a relationship with her manager’s assistant, Alex Haines, 22, while her husband Blake Fielder-Civil is sitting in jail. Haines stepfather claimed he knew nothing about a relationship between Alex and Amy, but Winehouse's father Mitch, who said he wants his daughter committed to a psychiatric hospital, confirmed the relationship and said he was shocked by it but suspected his daughter initiated the courting. "I don’t like infidelity. But Alex could be the victim in all this. I can’t imagine Alex seducing Amy. He looks like Clark Kent. It was clearly the other way round," he was quoted. And according to the Mirror, Amy Winehouse's new lover is obsessed with becoming rich and famous and the singer could prove the fast lane.

Meanwhile on Friday Blake Fielder-Civil appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London, where a provisional trial date was set for him to face charges of assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. He is due to stand trial on June 2nd.

One thing Amy Winehouse can lean on - according to the 2008 Sunday Times Rich List, the five-time Grammy winner has amassed a £10 million fortune, putting her tenth equal in the Young Music Millionaires category.
