Hubby Offered Winehouse's Cash As Bribe, It's Claimed
Amy Winehouse's husband was really quite a catch.
It has come out in court that hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, tried to pay off a bar tender he beat up -- using Amy's money!
Blake and a friend broke their victim's cheek bone in a brutal attack, and later offered him around $390,000 (�200,000) not to show up to give evidence against them, according to a court report in Britain's Daily Mail.
And where would a waster like Blake, 26, get that kind of cash? Out of his rich wife's purse, of course!
Blake, who is serving time for both the assault and the failed scheme, was caught trying to sabotage the case when a middle man they hired to arrange the deal sold the story to a British tabloid.
It was claimed in a London court yesterday, where the bar tender is being tried for his part in the deal, that Blake planned to use the Grammy-winner's money for the bribe.
A prosecutor told the court that in October 2007, when a reporter from the paper asked the go-between if Amy, 24, was involved in the plan, he said: "Who do you think is paying for it?"
And all this just six months after they got married!
Amy has already been cleared of knowingly taking part in the scheme.

Eavis: 'We've shaken up Glastonbury'
The organiser said he hopes a "whole cultural mix of people" will attend and again rejected criticism of the choice of Jay-Z for a headlining slot.
"Everywhere I go kids come up to me in the street and say it's fantastic Jay-Z is playing," Eavis told the Press Association. "Lovely kids in their teens. And I say, 'Have you bought tickets?' and they say, 'No, but we're all coming!'
"We need a whole cultural mix of people. We need an age mix and a cultural mix. That's what we're looking for. This is a huge success, it really is. It's never been so talked about."
Eavis, who also owns the worthy Farm site in Somerset, continued: "After 38 years that we were just kept going, drumming along in the same old sweet ways. But we've put changes in this year which have really shaken up the concept of it. It's a great occasion."

Sheryl Crow - Crow Finds Love With Restaurateur
Rocker SHERYL CROW has joined the list of stars hooking up with restaurateurs after reportedly romancing Alabama businessman JOHN CASSIMUS.
The singer, who has dated Eric Clapton, Kid Rock and former cyclist Lance Armstrong, started dating Zoe's Kitchen chain boss Cassimo after mutual pal, radio host Jay Barker, set them up on a date.
A source tells Life + Style magazine, "They're enjoying getting to know each other. Jay got them together in March and John, who's also a pilot, has been flying to Nashville to see her.
"They've kept it pretty low-key - cooking together, riding horses, going up in his plane."
