As a general rule, I think it’s mean to cherry pick pictures of celebrities to find the very worst ones. I mean if you had a thousand flashes going off in your face at once, of course there’s going to be some terrible pictures where you’re mid-blink or turning your head in a way that – when frozen on film – makes you look scary-ass. But from the photos taken of Amy Winehouse visiting her jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil in lockup, it’s almost impossible to find a photo where she doesn’t look like a crazed lunatic. I’m not kidding, look here and here. She looks like a cartoon parody of herself. I’m not quite sure how she can make her jaw jut forward like a barracuda like that. I tried to get mine to do it and nearly dislocated the lower portion.

Amy was in attendance in court today as Blake was denied bail. He’s being held for witness tampering in his assault case. I don’t think the assault would have gotten him much time – it hardly got any press, considering how famous Amy is – but the witness tampering is pretty significant, and being denied bail means Blake will spend Christmas in jail.

Amy Winehouse wiped away tears as her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil was denied bail today. Fielder-Civil, 25 – who is charged with conspiracy involving alleged witness tampering in his upcoming assault trial – will spend Christmas in jail awaiting a Jan. 18 hearing. Should his case go to trial, Judge David Robson said he was “penciling in early June.”

As he was led away, Fielder-Civil held his hand to his ear like a telephone and mouthed, “I’ll call you,” through the glass of the defendant’s box. Winehouse waved and blew him two kisses.

The troubled singer, 24, arrived at Snaresbrook Crown Court at 10:40 a.m., wearing a long-sleeved black minidress and a yellow scarf around her trademark beehive. Outside the court, police ushered away a crowd of about 30 women all dressed as the Winehouse.

What an unusual way to show support. Dressing like Amy Winehouse. I’m guessing that would entail giant, natty, frizzy, behived hair, bloody ballet slippers, and track marks? I’m now curious to see what this court room looks like. There’s glass over the defendant’s box? I wonder if that’s common, or just because Blake Fielder-Civil has a lot of people who’d like to take him out?

Amy sat next to Blake’s brother and a few spots away from her mother in law Georgette, with whom she is (always) feuding. Georgette has a penchant for talking to the press about Amy’s problems instead of actually talking to Amy.

The “Back to Black” singer spoke briefly to her mother-in-law and to one of her husband’s lawyers, all the while checking for signs that Fielder-Civil himself was going to appear. When he finally did, just before 11 a.m., he was smiling and winking.

“I love you,” he mouthed to his wife, asking, “Are you all right?” She nodded.

Winehouse, who clutched the thick gold heart-and-anchor charms she wore around her neck as if they were a rosary, watched wide-eyed as the judge agreed to hear Fielder-Civil’s argument for bail in chambers because of the “intense scrutiny from the press.” The rest of the nearly two-hour hearing continued in private.

When the proceeding wrapped, at 12:30 p.m., a grim-looking Winehouse refused to speak to the press as she hopped into a car with blacked-out windows. She is scheduled to appear in concert at London’s Brixton Academy tonight.

So I’m assuming that if he was denied bail, that means Blake Fielder-Civil could be in jail until that early June date if he’s denied again on January 18th. Let’s hope so. A good long while apart could do both of those co-dependent addicts a lot of good. Maybe enough good for one of them to get clean and lose the other.
