Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Blake’s Been Released From Prison

It feels weird to have a Winegums Watch without Clem “presenting” it, but considering Defamer Australia’s continued coverage of Amy Winehouse’s adventures over the past few years, I would be remiss to ignore the latest event in the British soul singer’s ever-exciting life – her husband Blake has finally been let out of the clink.

Amy Winehouse’s husband was released from jail yesterday after almost a year behind bars for his part in a vicious assault on a pub landlord. Blake Fielder-Civil left Edmonds Hill prison in Suffolk at 8am looking pale and with his arms covered in red scars.

The 26-year-old, who has fought a long battle with drug addiction, was not due to be released until next month but was freed after agreeing to attend rehab. Miss Winehouse herself was not there to meet him, leading to rumours of a rift between the pair.

Now, I realise that as far as couples go, Amy and Blake never looked exactly “healthy” together, but they did have a certain Camden drug scene charm, non? I mean, if you like your sex symbols pale and covered in strange bruises and trackmarks – but with great taste in hats and wigs – Amy and Blake delivered!

But since they’ve been apart? Oh god. Look at them!

CHRIST ON A BIKE.

Get that man a hat, quick sticks. He looks like someone’s been fiddling with his chromosomes for a laugh! And the less said about Amy’s flirtation with anorexic bin-lady chic, the better.

Anyway, where were we? Oh yes. Blake’s out of jail, and even though his missus wasn’t there to greet him, he’s still assuming things are hunky dory between them.

After leaving the prison, Fielder-Civil said: ‘Now all I want to do is see Amy. It’s tough inside – bloody horrible, but I’m out and that’s all that matters. It’s brilliant.’

Blake is also savvy enough to realise his release from prison isn’t the only interesting event of recent times.

He added: ‘It’s welcome to the free world for me and Barack Obama.’

Yes, I can see why Barack Obama being elected as the next leader of the United States and Amy Winehouse’s husband finishing up his time in jail would be two events inextricably linked in the minds of the public forevermore.
