Amy Winehouse Granted Divorce From Blake Fielder-Civil

LONDON — Amy Winehouse's tempestuous marriage ended Thursday when the singer and Blake Fielder-Civil were granted a divorce by a judge in London.

A judge read out the divorce decree for "Fielder-Civil B. v Winehouse A.J." along with those of other estranged couples at a brief Family Court hearing.

Neither 25-year-old Winehouse nor Fielder-Civil, 27, was in court Thursday. The divorce becomes final after six weeks and a day.

Winehouse married Fielder-Civil in Miami in 2007, but he was arrested six months later over an assault and sent to jail.

He filed for divorce earlier this year on the grounds of the soul diva's infidelity.

Divorce papers filed with the court stated that Fielder-Civil found living with Winehouse "intolerable." Winehouse acknowledged adultery and said she would not contest the divorce.

Winehouse shot to stardom with the multi-Grammy-winning album "Back to Black" in 2006. But her music has been overshadowed by reports of drug use, run-ins with the law and her tempestuous marriage.

The singer has spent the last few months on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. She is due to stand trial in London next week on charges of assaulting a fan.

She must have found a better dealer.

Good. Hope this changes things for Amy. Good luck, Amy. Please be well.

I really hope this changes her life for the better. Drugs are a hard habit to kick, and now that she's on them, the divorce won't magically settle the problem. But hopefully, it will be easier now that she doesn't have Blake as an enabler. She has too much talent to waste!

[AfroLatina21]

Good...I think it was her husband who was the one who turned her on to drugs.

Hopefully this will be a new beginning for her. With all that talent she has it's a shame she was wasting it.

AW was successful and healthy until BFC introduced her to the bad kind of drugs.

Good luck, Amy. Don't waste your talent.

[LoRiseAntlers]

And in other news,there is apparently someone other than Blake Fielder-Civil willing to have sex with Amy Winehouse.

[american-dolt]

[CheshireCat2]

Has anyone seen the latest pictures of Amy Winehouse? She actually looked kind of hot. That stupid wig is gone and she actually looked healthy.

[BikeFreak]

Healthier maybe...but I would not say "healthy".
