What the Elle?  By: Rebecca Davis

Jay-Z may have 99 problems, but winning over Glastonbury fans ain't one. The New York rapper, headlining the annual mud'n'music fest this past weekend, responded to comments by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher (who famously said this spring, "I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong.") by, well, taking a page from the Brit rocker's music book. Strapping on a guitar wasn't the weapon of choice for Amy Winehouse; when an audience member grabbed at her beehive, the recently-hospitalized singer threw a punch. Her violent response was not sanctioned by Nelson Mandela, we're guessing, although he may have a soft spot for "Blake Incarcerated." And while Jennifer Aniston had her own personal paparazzi moment this weekend, when she was spotted snapping photos of her rocker boyfriend John Mayer performing in London on Saturday night, she was not the shutterbug who captured Winehouse's Glastonbury altercation on film. Let's hope that Beyonce passed along some sage advice to Winehouse while the two singers cheered from the VIP section during Jay-Z's set.

Amy Winehouse Blake Fielder-Civil spend $1000 daily on drugs

Yes, that's the daily shopping limit Lindsay Lohan has given herself to keep from going bankrupt.

It's also how much Amy Winehouse spends to support her flamboyant drug habit, according to Blake Fielder-Civil.

The junkie husband, who is currently behind bars in England for assault and trial-fixing, told News of The World that being off drugs in prison "has saved" him and made him realize how drugs "destroyed" him and "the loving, happy woman I married." He says:

"We were spending 500 pounds a day on drugs and were taking cocaine, heroin-and yes, crack-together."

"We were like the Living Dead."

"We then got into self-harm to relieve the pain."

"In my eyes Amy is beautiful. But she looks dishevelled and I must admit I wasn't keen on her dyed blonde hair at all."

"She is thin, she is bulimic and she looks ill. Bulimia is deadly in itself and I've tried without success to make her eat properly."

"I even threatened her with divorce because I thought it would be the only thing to make her see sense."

"I dread my cell door being opened and the chaplain informing me, 'Amy's dead.' "

I have to applaud Blake for one very profound insight: "I must admit I wasn't keen on her dyed blonde hair at all" . . . the only funny part in all this serious drug biz-ness!

Blake went on to say he "hates" Amy's father, "The Fat Controller", for blaming Amy's drug problem on Blake and for living off of his daughter's payroll. A tad hypocritical, considering the thousands Blake "I am suddenly the-perfect-husband" is likely being paid to whore out his relationship, but whatever.

So the question is: did Amy only say "yes" to rehab last week to cover her behind for that crack-smoking video, or does she really want help??

When news broke last 10 days ago that Amy Winehouse's home had been raided and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil arrested, probably none of us were surprised, thinking only that it was about time. As it turns out, the arrest was somehow not regarding drugs, but Blake's other set of crimes. The charges have been called "perverting the court of justice", "conspiring to throw a trial," and a couple other possibly British terms, but basically Pete was due in court next week for assault charges and the police raided his home because they suspected that he was plotting to pay off a key witness. If convicted, he could end up in jail for life.

Amy Addicted to Blake, drugs, self-sabotagingThe scene in front of Amy's north London home as her hubby was being arrested was straight out of a Romeo-and-Juliet-esque love story:

As eight plain-clothed officers manacled Fielder-Civil and led him off to cells, the tearful jazz diva begged hysterically: "I want to go with him."

Then she stood on tiptoe, threw her arms around his neck, hugged and kissed him and repeatedly said: "Baby, I love you. Baby, I'll be fine." Finally, weeping and hyperventilating Amy, 24, ran out of the flat and shouted to Fielder-Civil in the courtyard below: "I'll be fine. Baby, I love."

Fielder-Civil managed to shout back "I love you" before being bundled into an unmarked people carrier. (The Mirror)

Amy has reportedly been "distraught" ever since seeing her husband disappear in handcuffs, and has gone to visit him numerous times already.

I give her credit for, despite all this, choosing to stick to her previously scheduled UK concert tour. Unfortunately it was a decision the iconic diva may have regretted as soon as she stepped onstage for the first night of the tour. Here is The BBC's report of Amy's audience booing her off stage after she dedicated a song to her imprisoned husband:

"The singer performed hits including 'Back To Black', 'Tears Dry On Their Own' and 'Rehab' during the concert at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena.

Before the song "Wake Up Alone', she told the audience: 'This is for my husband.'

But during an encore cover of The Zutons' Valerie she stopped singing, dropped her microphone and walked off the stage."

Fans reported that Amy was barely able to make it through a single song because she was crying so hard. She also couldn't stop singing about her husband."Every time she did a song she put 'Blakey' or 'I love my Blakey' into it, and she changed the song Me and Mr Jones into Mr Blakey," a source told The BBC.

Amy Addicted to Blake, drugs, self-sabotagingIt is very sweet and sentimental to love someone like a star-crossed lover, and I can imagine that it is not the most comforting feeling to know your husband is possibly being gang raped in a prison somewhere, but Amy's uber-attachment to someone who has clearly had a negative and isolating effect on her life is just becoming more and more painfully obvious.

Probably in withdrawal-of-the-hip, from the absence of affection and attention that her hubby provided, Amy seems to be even more desperately turning to her favorite substances.

At a concert last week, the troubled singer appeared to pull something out of her beehive and then snort the substance right on stage - in the middle of her performance! And over the weekend, she couldn't even make it through an hour-long flight without her ciggies and drugs. PerezHilton reports that she made "three 10 minute trips to the toilet", returned looking incredibly "out of it" each time, and was then caught smoking by a flight attendant!

That Amy Winehouse snorted cocaine onstage or shot up heroin in an airplane bathroom is clearly speculation at this point (and wow, if she really did sneak drugs onto the plane, then she is either incredibly clever or just really really eager to join her husband in prison!). We could definitely give her the benefit of the doubt, and assume that she was simply wiping her nose during that performance, and that she was crying or washing her face in the bathroom. Maybe just wanted a little privacy.

But given her highly publicized drug problems, her skinny and unhealthy figure, her recent lackluster performances, and everything her family members have said about her, it seems only logical that she would be doing one of those things.

I hate to say it, because a lifetime in prison is obviously a terrible thing for the person who it's happening to, but if Blake were to remain in prison, it might not be such a bad thing for Amy! Without a partner in crime (literally), maybe the talented artist can start to see the bigger picture again, and claim her life back before it claims her.
