ABOVE: Amy Winehouse performs “Wake Up Alone.” The troubled British singer was granted a divorce in a London court on Thursday.
Hey, remember Amy Winehouse?
Not so long ago, the “I’m No Good” singer was an up-and-coming British star with a retro look and vocals to match (paving the way for similar artists and look-alikes). Now, she’s just looks like a drag queen’s skeleton wandering around with a black beehive wig and too much eyeliner.
At any rate, the UK singer is making headlines again this morning, not for her music, of course, but for the latest twist in her twisted relationship with jailbird husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
Neither Winehouse, 25, nor Fielder-Civil, 27, appeared at the London courthouse on Thursday, but the two were granted a divorce, according to a Yahoo! report. The divorce, which will be final six weeks and one day after the hearing, was granted at Fielder-Civil’s request, having accused Winehouse of adultery, a charge she reportedly confirmed.
Winehouse didn’t attend today’s hearing, but she’ll be back in court soon enough: Next week she’s due to stand trial for charged related to the alleged assault of a fan in March.
In recent months, Winehouse has canceled numerous high-profile appearances and concerts, and was reportedly fired as the singer for the latest James Bond theme (a role given to the odd couple of Jack White and Alicia Keys with their song, “Another Way to Die“).

Wow, a celebrity divorce that doesn’t involve a multi-million dollar settlement?
Paul McCartney should’ve hired Winehouse’s attorney!
