How much would you pay?

I love Amy Winehouse.

There are a bunch of reasons this is true. One is her music has a unique point of view, which in this 'modern music' world is (sadly) pretty uncommon.

Other reasons include her fabulous fashion sense, that crazy big bouffant, and a life that is full of back to back scandals.

This week it was revealed that while cooling his heels in Pentonville Prison her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil (a name which does not exist outside of the UK) disclosed he offered to pay £20,000 to a fellow inmate if he'd "smash" Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty "to pieces". The motive? he believed the internationally renowned drug addict Doherty was having an affair with Winehouse. And what with all their smootchy smootch smootch photos so often published in the media, where would he get that idea?

Drugs, tattoos, affairs, prison, contracts on other popstars. Amy and Blake, you're all I want out of popstars. Oh, and great shoes.
