Yesterday London police raided the home of Amy Winehouse, but not because of anything the troubled singer did. They were after her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who we often forget in lieu of all of Amy’s problems, is equally “troubled” if not a “singer.” Although the couple wasn’t at home at the time of the raid, police caught up to Fielder-Civil and arrested him on allegations that in British law are the equivalent of “obstruction of justice” here. Fielder-Civil is accused of attempting to bribe a bartender, James King, with $400,000 not to score more booze, but to withdraw a statement he made to police after Fielder-Civil and another friend assaulted King. The scuffle netted Winehouse’s hubby some “grievous bodily harm with intent” charges. According to her publicist, Winehouse was not arrested or charged, but the police were seen leaving her home with several boxes of evidence, which Amy better be praying was not paraphernalia, especially considering she finally got through the whole Norway pot ordeal and has been allowed back into the U.S. Hopefully this new development won’t prevent Amy from wowing audiences here with her woozy, slurred performances. Like any star-crossed lovers, or neo-Sids & Nancys, Winehouse told her husband/sparring partner Fielder-Civil, “Baby, I love you. I will be fine,” as the police ripped her man away.

Universal Pictures and 25th Hour screenwriter David Benioff are getting to work on Last Days an untitled drama about the life of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Courtney Love, whose criteria when picking projects dealing with her dead husband’s legacy is usually incredibly stringent, will serve as executive producer. The script will adapt Charles Cross’ 2001 biography Heavier Than Heaven, which included accounts gleaned from Cobain’s unpublished journals as well as information from Cobain’s family and friends. This news comes nearly two weeks after About A Son — a Cobain documentary that utilizes interview excerpts — and Control, about the life and suicide of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis, hit theaters. We assume an Elliott Smith script is being Fed-Exed overnight to Paramount as we type. So far, music rights have not been secured, but with Love in the exec. producer’s chair, that shouldn’t be a problem. Casting hasn’t begun yet either, but we recommend this guy, considering he did such a great job the first time around.
