Blake Fielder-Civil to spend Christmas in jail

Amy Winehouse's troubled husband, Blake Fielder-Civil is to spend Christmas locked up in prison.

Amy Winehouse was seen wiping away ears as Blake was denied bail yesterday.

25-year-old Blake - who is charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, will spend Christmas in a jail cell - awaiting his January 18th hearing.

Should Blake's case go to trial, Judge David Robson claimed he was "penciling in early June."

As Blake was led away he 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, People has reported.

Amy, 24, arrived at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court at 10:40 a.m., sporting 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 Amy Winehouse.

Inside the court, Winehouse sat next to Blake's younger brother in the front row & was accompanied by a man who identified himself as "a family friend."

Winehouse spoke briefly to her mother-in-law and to one of Fielder-Civil's lawyers, all the while checking for signs that Blake himself was going to appear. When he finally did, just before 11 a.m., he was smiling and winking.

"I love you," he mimed to Amy, asking, "Are you all right?" She nodded.

Winehouse 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., 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.
