Amy Winehouse is posing as her cat to send secret messages to Blake Fielder-Civil.

The ‘Rehab’ singer has created a profile for her pet feline Shirley on social networking site Facebook and is using it to talk to her estranged husband, who she is in the process of divorcing.

In a series of bizarre messages, Amy refers to Blake – who is in rehab in Yorkshire, north England – as ‘Sailor’, known to be one of her nicknames for him.

One of the rambling posts reads: “Oi mummy was saying to her friend about the time she made you breakfast and you drank all the nesquik til you was sick xxxxxxx (sic).”

Another says: “Sailor sort it you’re her co-hort. consort still. as you both know you’re unswerving. just as much as you’re deserving.”

Last night, the cat’s status read “Shirley loves Sailor”.

Amy and Blake were granted a decree nisi – a preliminary stage of divorce which will become absolute next month – in the Family Division of London’s High Court on July 16 following the breakdown of their troubled two-year marriage.

At the time, Amy’s spokesman said: “She is ready to move on following the end of the marriage. Amy has not had any contact with Blake for months and is focusing on the future. She is finishing her album and in good health.”

Amy Winehouse allegedly stole cocaine from Kate Moss.

According to Amy’s soon-to-be ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, the ‘Rehab’ singer took two grammes of the Class A drug from the supermodel’s handbag at a star-studded bash in New York so the pair could snort it in the toilets.

Blake told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Kate Moss and another supermodel were there, as well as Hollywood actresses. Kate had told Amy to get a 10 dollar note out of her handbag to snort lines with. But Amy told me she found two grams of cocaine in there – so she nicked them. We did some in the toilets and had sex, but we did the rest in front of everyone. Kate was so drunk, she never noticed it was missing.”

The 27-year-old ex-convict claims cocaine was freely available to guests at the bash, held at the Gramercy Park Hotel just weeks after Blake and Amy married in Miami in May 2007.

He added: “There was plenty of cocaine on a table in the room available to everyone.”

Blake has also claimed Amy became addicted to heroin the first time she tried it and took to the illegal substance “like a duck to water”.

He revealed: “I’d been smoking heroin on my own, but never in front of her. I got a bit for myself, and she looked at me and said, ‘Can I have some?’ I was out of my mind on drugs and I said, ‘Of course’. She inhaled the heroin and then just sat back, smiled and her eyes went a bit funny. She said, ‘I can see why you take this.’ Amy took to heroin like a duck to water, same as me.”

Blake also claims the 25-year-old pop star funded his ongoing addiction when he was in prison and would transfer money – sometimes up to £1,000 a week – into a bank account for him.

He said: “Whenever I needed heroin I would make a phone call to Amy.

“Sometimes I only needed a £20 a day hit, but other times I was taking it constantly and could spend £140 a day.”

Blake was jailed for 27 months last August for perverting the course of justice and grievous bodily harm. He was released from prison last November.

The former couple were recently granted a decree nisi in their divorce and their separation will be legally finalized in just over four weeks.

Well Amy Winehouse can chalk up one victory in her life since returning to London from St. Lucia: A judge acquitted the troubled singer today of assaulting a fan who asked for her picture outside a ball in September.London district Judge Timothy Workman found Amy not guilty of punching Sherene Flash in the eye, according to Reuters. Amy claimed that she was just scared and felt intimidated, and meant to simply push the woman’s arm away. She also claimed that she was too short to have punched Flash in the face. The judge said he could not be sure the blow was deliberate.

“I’m relieved. I’m going home,” Amy said as she left. She also released a statement, saying she was “very happy to move on with her life and put the episode behind her.”

She’s looking so much better, too, isn’t she? I can’t wait for her to release another album!

Amy Winehouse was “scared” as she was asked to pose for a photograph backstage at a charity event last September, she told a court in her assault trial Thursday.

The singer – who asked to be addressed by her married name Amy Civil – was happy to pose with dancer Sherene Flash, but said that when she asked for a minute to see a friend off, Flash refused. “She lent down all over me. She had her face down by me,” Winehouse told City of Westminster magistrate’s court, London.

Describing herself as an undemanding, low-maintenance celebrity, Winehouse said on the stand, “I’m not a Jennifer Lopez, paint the room white before I get there, and I want five bunches of lilies.”

By the same measure, said Winehouse, Flash “was pretty much leaning on me. She’s a big girl. She was being overly presumptuous. I’m not Mickey Mouse. I’m a human being.”

Dressed in a somber gray suit, trademark black eye make-up and a demure string of pearls, Winehouse, who in March pleaded not guilty to the assault charge, further described the scene of the alleged skirmish.

‘People Are Rude’
In the dressing room area backstage, the singer, 25, said that as she moved her left hand across her face, she pushed her right hand upwards, towards Flash. “She’s there, she’s tall. I wanted her away from me,” she told the court. “I thought: ‘Do I get a choice in this? Hello?’ People are mad, people are rude.”

As if to emphasize the height differences, the 5′, 2½” Winehouse moved away from the evidence box and showed chief Magistrate Timothy Workman her flat pink ballet pumps. “And my hair does make a difference,” the often-beehived singer added.

Winehouse had been at the event – the Berkeley Square summer ball – to support and sing backing vocals for her goddaughter Dionne Bloomfield. It was her goddaughter’s first gig, Winehouse told the court, smiling.

Alleged Direct Blow
Earlier, prosecuting lawyer Lyall Thompson told the court that there was “nothing accidental about Miss Winehouse’s actions. It may be that well-known figures find such requests tiresome, but they need to develop strategies” to deal with them. “She acted with deliberate and unjustifiable violence,” he said of Winehouse allegedly landing a “direct blow” to Flash’s face with her right hand.

Flash called the cops and later saw a doctor. She said she was left with a “slightly swollen” right eye after the incident. Flash told the court that she had been dancing at the event and then, later, went backstage with a friend to see if they could meet the Grammy-winner.

She said that she had not touched Winehouse. Asked by Winehouse’s lawyer Patrick Gibbs if she had “misread” the situation, Flash answered, “Even if I did, it doesn’t give someone the right to punch me in the face.”

Flash, who admitted she was “tipsy,” described Winehouse as seeming “drunk.” Other witnesses concurred, with Jack Jefferson saying of her performance earlier: “Her speech was slurred and she didn’t appear to be in control of her physical actions.”

Dealing with Fame
When prosecutor Thompson asked Winehouse how she dealt with fame, she said that the positives included: “Getting to meet nice people and help people.” And the drawbacks? “I just deal with it. It’s life.”

Yet she was quick to add, “It’s not necessarily unwanted. It’s nice to meet nice people. It’s not a demand on my time.” And if it gets too irksome, “I just say. ‘I’m sorry, I have got to go and see my dad.’ ”

Amy Winehouse told a London court Thursday that she did not punch a fan who asked for her photograph, saying she felt intimidated by the alleged victim – and claiming she was too short to have hit the woman in the face.

Winehouse is on trial accused of assaulting another guest at a charity ball last September. Dancer Sherene Flash alleges she was hit in the eye by the 25-year-old “Back to Black” singer after asking to take her picture following the event in London’s Berkeley Square.

Winehouse told District Judge Timothy Workman that at “5 foot 2 1/2, or 5 foot 3,” (about 1.6 meters) she was too short to have punched the taller Flash in the face.

“My hair does make a difference,” said the singer, who sported her trademark beehive hairdo.

Winehouse, known as much for her chaotic lifestyle as her soulful music, arrived at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court for the hearing dressed in a gray pinstripe suit.

Winehouse, who was granted a divorce from her husband Blake Fielder-Civil a week ago, gave her name in court as Amy Jade Civil and sat quietly, occasionally taking notes, as prosecutors outlined the case against her.

She appeared relaxed and healthy as she took the stand and denied punching Flash. She said she had felt intimidated and annoyed when Flash “lunged at me and put her arm around me,” and had only meant to push the other woman’s arm away.

“I pushed her up, like away. I wanted her away from me,” Winehouse said.

The 2-year marriage of Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil came to a formal end in a functional first floor courtroom in London Thursday.

As one of 25 couples seeking to dissolve their marriages, Fielder-Civil, 27, was granted the divorce from Winehouse, 25, in a hearing that lasted all of 75 seconds, as the singer admitted adultery, court papers show.

Neither she nor Fielder-Civil were at Court Three of the High Court Family Division in London’s Holborn area to hear District Judge Michael Segal grant the “quickie” divorce.

In a question-and-answer format, the court papers show that it was Fielder-Civil who filed for the split. Asked if he finds it “intolerable” to live with Winehouse, he replies, “Yes.” And when asked to “state briefly your reasons for saying that the respondent has committed the adultery alleged,” he answers, “The Respondent confessed the adultery to me in April 2008.”

The papers show they have not lived in the same household since that date.

In her response, Winehouse is asked if she admitted “the adultery alleged in the petition.” She answers a simple “yes.” She adds that she is not intending to defend the case.

The couple married in Miami May 2007. First talk of a divorce surfaced in January, when Fielder-Civil, a music-video producer, signaled he would start proceedings. The singer initially said she would not let it happen.

Unless a dispute arises, the divorce will become final in six weeks.

I’ve heard so many sad, sad stories about Amy Winehouse that I’m about to hop on a plane and straighten her butt out. Her parents are saying that they feel she is still in need of saving.

I think they should just commit her already. Or get her on Celebrity Rehab.

Janis Winehouse says, “The need to rescue her is enormous. I just want her to be OK, and I would do whatever it took to make that right.”

The “Rehab” singer was hospitalized for supposed dehydration last month and had to cancel her comeback performance in London. Her father, Mitch, claims she is in a drug-treatment program, but still boozing.

“For the last six months, there’s been a remarkable recovery,” he tells the news station. “A gradual recovery, which is good. With slight backwards steps—more drink backward steps, if you follow my drift.”

“Amy is in denial all the time,” her mother says. “She probably feels trapped, her body is trapping her. But I know with addiction you do not have the choice, because the substance itself directs you. I want to say to her, ‘Amy, what are you doing? Don’t you know what you’re doing?’ But she by then has got herself on to it to help her get through, and I understand that.”

“I need my daughter to be a whole person again,” Mitch adds.

Furthermore, the star’s father is anxious about his daughter’s relationship with her estranged husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, and blames him for fostering her addictions.

“The option of them being together is too horrible to contemplate,” he says. “They are going to get divorced, and who knows what’s going to happen down the line.”

In the future, however, he may be willing to offer the pair his blessing.

“Amy and Blake have decided that they want to live their lives separately, and if they get back together again in the future and they’re both clean and they still love each other, that’s up to them.”

I feel for her, I really do. Addiction is such a tough thing to overcome. I hope can get her life together and release some really awesome music again.
