From the AP:

British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse was arrested in Norway for marijuana possession and held overnight, a police official said Friday.

Winehouse, her husband Blake Fielder-Civil and a third person were released at around 7:00 a.m. Friday after paying $715 in fines, Prosecutor Lars Morten Lothe said.

The trio were arrested shortly after 6 p.m. at a hotel in Bergen in southwestern Norway, where Winehouse is on a European tour, after a tip to police.

“They were found with seven grams (about 1/4-ounce)of marijuana,” Lothe said. “She’s paid the fine, so this thing is over for us now.”

Damn, I wanna smoke weed in Norway.

In the U.S., it’s a little more complicated, isn’t it? I’m not a weed person, and I’ve never been arrested for it, so I’m not really sure. Anyone around here been caught with a quarter-ounce of weed in another country? Did you get off this easy?

The Olsen twins … and Amy Winehouse?

Dear Lord.

Listen, people. If you live in London, stock up on cocaine. Demand is about to exceed supply.

Amy Winehouse showed up to support the Olsen twins as they launched their ultra-pricey new fashion line, The Row, in London.

At the British MOBO awards.

You know what?

This makes Britney Spears’ VMA performance look really crisp and professional. I mean, you have to hand it to Britney: she may be all liquor and cocaine, but at least she’s managed not to hit the stage after snorting heroin.

The father of Amy Winehouse’s husband recommends that fans boycott the troubled singer until she can get her act together.

“They are seen as a couple who display sorts of behavior that can be seen as almost entertaining, especially for the tabloid newspapers, and I think it’s about time that their friends and professional colleagues say, ‘enough is enough.’ Perhaps it’s come to the point where—and I wouldn’t want any harm to come to Amy or Blake, obviously—but perhaps it’s time to stop buying records,” says Giles Fielder-Civil to the BBC on Tuesday.

“I think they believe that they are recreational users of drugs and that they are in control … They’re a very close couple. If one dies through substance abuse, the other may commit suicide…and if they died within the next 12 to 24 months, it would be such a tragic waste.”

Winehouse’s own father doesn’t see it quite the same way.

“Will it do any good?” asks Winehouse’s father. “No. It won’t send any message to Amy at all, unfortunately. If I thought it would, it would be a great idea. I’m clutching at straws. It’s all clutching at straws.”

“The only way out of this is, at some point, they are gonna reach rock bottom,” he says. “And at that point, they will say, listen, I don’t want to do this anymore. That’s their decision to make. When the decision is right, they’ll make it. Or they won’t make it.”

It’s nice to know you have things you can count on in this life.

Amy Winehouse — who can’t seem to stay in rehab any longer than Nicole Richie can stay in jail — got into a huge fight with her supportive, loving husband, Blake Civil-Fielder, in a hotel in London yesterday.

These are the follow-up pics.

According to the UK’s Daily Mail:

“Amy was in floods of tears. [Her husband] was screaming at her. She was cowering in the corner and I thought he was going to hit her. When the lift door opened, she took off across the lobby at a real pace. He was chasing after her and was about five paces behind by the time she got to the main hotel entrance.”

The couple then dashed into the street.

An eyewitness said: “Just after 3am, Amy came sprinting out and down the road. She was in a real state of panic. Blake was running after her, but couldn’t catch up. Amy was so hell-bent on getting away from him that she ran into the middle of the street and flagged down a random car that happened to be full of girls. She was saying, ‘Quickly, I have to get in, I have to get away, please help me’. Her voice was breaking, you could tell she was scared. The car drove off at speed and ended up about a mile away at Charing Cross station. Amy got out and went into a 24-hour shop to buy cigarettes. She was looking completely out of her head. Blake ran after the car for a while. He spent the next halfhour or so wandering around in a daze with blood over his face, looking in doorways for her, shouting her name out.

Eventually, he got through to her on the mobile.

There were a lot of tears and shouting, but they calmed down and met up at around 4am and slowly walked back to the hotel arm-in-arm. They got back at 4.45am.”

You know, I have to hand it to American “it” girls. They may drive the wrong way on major freeways after popping a few Vicodin, they may flash the paparazzi, they may haphazardly shave their heads, but they don’t have this seemingly British tendency to date heroin addicts who kick their asses. This is such a Kate Moss move.

For kicks, Daily Mail added a picture of Amy at the start of her fame, in 2003, before she was basically a dead man walking. I don’t even recognize this person.

The Mirror told us Amy Winehouse was in rehab last week, but it wasn’t true. This week, they say she’s there for reals, and, most days, I couldn’t be bothered to care about this story, but so far this has been the slowest news week ever (we need you out of rehab and drinking, Lindsay!), so we’re going to write about Ms. Winehouse and her supposed new rehab stay.

Winehouse and her husband, Blake Civil-Fielder, have flown from England to the U.S. to seek help with their drug addictions, which include heroin, cocaine and, yes, horse tranquilizers. I think that last one is kind of a good indication that you have a drug problem. Like, sure, you’re a rock star, you experiment with heroin and cocaine — I guess that’s not uncommon — but when you and your husband finish up dinner and decide it’s time for a round of horse tranquilizers, it’s time to take a good hard look at where you think your life is headed.

Amy and Blake’s families staged an intervention after Amy’s friend caught her smoking heroin just days after she was released from the hospital for an overdose. Says a source: “They now realise that if they don’t get help now, they will both die young. This is their watershed, their wake-up call. Both families were terrified by the state Amy and Blake had got themselves in and decided enough was enough. It was the first time Blake also admitted he had a drug problem. It was a brave step for both of them to agree to treatment and their families are very proud of them.”

You know how I’m not going to start this story?

“They tried to make her go to rehab, she said …” or anything along those lines, because I just can’t bring myself to do that.

Thankfully, though, Amy Winehouse finally brought herself to check into a drug and alcohol rehab. After what can only be described as a torrential string of concert cancellations and a recent hospitalization after a drug and alcohol binge, The Mirror is reporting that Winehouse has checked into the U.K.’s Priory rehab center in London.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that unless she sorts herself out, this relentless dalliance with drink and drugs will only have one ending. And it won’t be happy. It’s time for some tough love which is why we’ve taken her to get help,” says a close friend.

When Amy arrived at The Priory, “she looked in a terrible state, she could barely walk,” says a source. She reportedly has a private wing at the center, and her parents are there with her.
