LONDON - Police raided Amy Winehouse's London home, using a crowbar to force open the door. The singer's spokesman said she was not there at the time and that drugs were not involved.

British media said the raid was related to the arrest of Winehouse's husband and several other men on suspicion of trying to pervert the course of justice. Photographs in British newspapers on Friday showed police officers forcing open the home in Camden, north London.

"The only thing I can tell you is that it has nothing to do with drugs and that Amy is fine and she has not been charged or arrested," spokesman Shane O'Neill said.

The Metropolitan Police said there had been "police activity" at the house on Thursday as part of an investigation into allegations of perverting the course of justice.

British media reported that the investigation concerned Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is due to stand trial next week on charges of assaulting a barman.

Police said four men — two aged 25, one 22 and one 19 — were arrested in connection with the investigation. The force would not confirm that Fielder-Civil, 25, was among them, but the Daily Mirror ran a picture of Winehouse kissing Fielder-Civil, who was in handcuffs. The newspaper said the pictures were taken as he was arrested Thursday.

A fifth man, aged 36, was arrested Friday in central England.

Retro soul singer Winehouse has won worldwide acclaim for her second album, "Back to Black," but has also made headlines through erratic behavior, health fears and reports of heavy drug use. In August she spent time in rehab and canceled a series of dates in Britain, the United States and Canada.

Last month Winehouse and Fielder-Civil were arrested in Norway and fined $715 for possession of marijuana

That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose.” - J. D. Salinger

Yes, that dude is screwed. It has been stated that he was trying coerce the barman to change his story for a sum of $400,000.

It's been circulating that Amy is "distraught, and in pieces." Her dependancy on this guy is so very repulsive, definitely unattractive, and extremely unhealthy to say the least.

His own pocket, non?

Oh Verm...

It was never implied by moi that the cash was from his own pocket. However, he is married, and they most likely have a joint account. Winehouse is so totally-blindedly head over heels with this guy, and would probably give anything to keep him by her side. I'll also add that she has done fairly well financially thus far too.

But all of that is beside the point, especially if you read a few articles, stateside & UK side. About 5 men have been arrested in connection to Blake Fielder-Civil to date regarding this. So.., maybe all his mates started a pool to raise the quoted figure, eh.

He is in pretty damn deep.

Theres something about him that just strikes me as an amalgamation of every wanker I've ever met.

I know love is blind, but fucking hell.
