Amy Winehouse Questioned Over Assault, Joins Rich List
**Update: Amy Winehouse was arrested**
Two rather different stories today about troubled singer Amy Winehouse. First the bad news:
Troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse was due to be questioned by police on Friday over an alleged assault, her spokesman said.
The Grammy Award-winning singer, whose increasingly troubled private life and battle against drug addiction has overshadowed her recording success, will voluntarily attend a London police station, he added in a statement.He said it related to an alleged assault in Camden, north London, earlier this week.
Newspaper reports said the 24-year-old singer had punched a 38 year-old man in the street during a night out.
In better news, she can afford a good lawyer as she is extraordinarily rich:
British singer Amy Winehouse joined the elite ranks of music millionaires on Friday but she may struggle to reach the dizzy heights of "wrinkly rockers" like Paul McCartney, the editor of an annual rich list said.
The bee-hived soul singer, whose troubled private life and battle against drug addiction have overshadowed her recording success, is now valued at 10 million pounds ($19.72 million)."Winning Grammys have given her a really good profile in the United States. She has such a smooth voice but let's hope she doesn't blow it all," Sunday Times Rich List editor Philip Beresford said as the latest millionaire tables were published.
