Amy Winehouse Heads to Court

It seems like forever since her husband Blake Fielder-Civil went to jail (just before this past Christmas), and like a good wife, Amy Winehouse was spotted on her way to attend his trial.

Earlier today, the troubled singer was seen leaving her Camden, London home to attend her hubby’s trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court.  Fielder-Civil is being tried for beating up a man, and then attempting to bribe a witness, thus conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Tatum O’Neal Busted for Crack Possession

Britney Spears Conservatorship Case Stunted

Though she’s doing well on her road to recovery, it’s very important that Britney Spears not bite off more than she can chew.  And according to her lawyer, she’s not healthy enough for court proceedings.
