Amy Winehouse Round-Up: They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Haa!

3:21PM Clem Bastow | After much speculation as to whether or not she’d be charged in relation to husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s shady deals, the coppers yesterday escorted Ms Winegums down to the station for a few words (and other such The Bill-isms that we’ve picked up through channel surfing on Saturday nights). Amy was “arrested by appointment” and later released on bail, though dad Mitch Winehouse is playing it cool at this point. Mr Winehouse said last night: “Amy’s arrest has been planned for the past three weeks, so it’s nothing new to any of us. “It is all been arranged between Amy and the police. She was asked to attend the police station to be questioned and have her DNA taken to assist them with the investigation into Blake’s charges. “We have no complaint with how the police have handled the investigation or how they have treated Amy. He added: “Maybe Amy will be charged, but at the moment I don’t know any more than her being asked to attend the police station by appointment.” We’re hoping that the only thing the fuzz find Amy guilty of is the crime of making an exceedingly poor choice of life partner, and perhaps a few crimes against fashion thrown in for good measure, with the sentence of always wearing clean, new shoes and a few community service sessions at the Fluffy Bunny & Cute Baby Animals welfare agency of Niceville, USA.

Fox Tries To Help Us Avoid An Embarrassing ‘Cops’ Cameo

4:35AM Defamer Hollywood | It’s been months since the modest trickle of swag into Defamer HQ has yielded an item useful or interesting enough to survive longer than thirty seconds before finding its way into the trash can (seemingly each week, the UPS guy gets to hear our anguished cry of, “Fucking hell, another Mad TV screener? Is that show even still on?” before taking two steps back towards the safety of his brown truck), but just moments ago, Fox delivered a winner to promote the 20th season of everyone’s favourite shirtless-rednecks-denying-domestic-battery-accusations series: a keychain alcohol tester which, in the words of the enclosed note from the show’s executive producer, “might prevent your being included in a COPS cameo.” Finally, someone really gets us!
