Amy Winehouse: Being Arrested In No-No-Norway Means She's Already Out
Â
You know, it really beggars the question, why did they bother going to all the trouble?Â
Amy Winehouse and her husband, the unwieldy-named Blake Fielder-Civil, were arrested in Norway last night along with an unnamed man. They were busted in her hotel room with 7g of marijuana:
The consolation for the singer, whose battles with drug addiction have become increasingly public, is that she was arrested in Norway, where a liberal stance on the drug has meant the matter is already resolved. [...]After spending the night in custody, the couple paid a fine of €500 (£349) [$714 USD] and were released. The unnamed man was also released after paying a fine. "She's paid the fine, so this thing is over for us now," Lothe said. "It is a closed case."
I mean, if they were going to go to all the trouble of arresting her, why not make it count? The woman is a self-admitted junkie. She admits that she has a drug problem...heroin and cocaine, among other things. I'm frankly surprised that weed is all they were caught with. Didn't anyone think to check in the beehive?
Sad.  Yet another beautiful, talented woman being slowly destroyed by drugs.
Well, call the babysitter back, her concert in Bergen is scheduled to go on as planned.
(sorry for using basically the same title twice, it's early in the morning and I'm too lazy to think up another one)
UPDATE:Â Just read this on People:
Winehouse and Fielder-Civil paid a 500 euro ($714) fine, while the member of her touring party, Alexander Foden, who creates Amy's hairpieces, paid a 350 euro ($500) penalty. [emphasis mine]
Well, that explains a lot that I'd wondered about.
