Blake Fielder-Civil, who pleaded guilty last month to charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and perverting the course of justice, had begged Judge David Radford to let him walk free so he could help stop Amy taking drugs.

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been pictured smoking heroin in his prison cell. The 25-year-old has been photographed inhaling the illegal substance in London's Pentonville prison, despite claiming he is clean of narcotics.

Just hours after the photos were taken, Amy pleaded for her spouse's release as she performed at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday party.

Amy Winehouse was left "totally distraught" after policemen raided her house and arrested her husband.

The troubled singer - who has battled alcohol and drug addictions - was out collecting a parcel when eight plain-clothes policemen using battering rams and crowbars smashed through the front door of her Camden house at 4:45pm yesterday (08.11.07).

Diana Ross once hit an airline worker with a hat box containing a small dog, it has been claimed. The Motown star has been branded a nightmare boss in 'Diana Ross', a biography by J. Randy Taraborrelli, due for publication in September.

The new book claims Ross hit the airline staff member over the head with the hat box, but adds she was presumably unaware the box contained the animal.
