Winehouse cleared of witness tampering

London – Police are no longer investigating Amy Winehouse on suspicion of attempting to interfere with a court case involving her husband, her spokesman said Friday.

The 24-year-old singer is no longer required to return to a police station for further questioning, her spokesman, Chris Goodman, said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Winehouse’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, appeared in a London court Friday on charges of attacking a pub landlord and then later conspiring with him to withdraw as a witness at the trial.

Fielder-Civil spoke only to confirm his name and plead not guilty. He is due to appear again in April.

McCartney divorce ruling due March 17

London – A British judge will give the financial terms of Paul McCartney and Heather Mills’ divorce settlement on March 17.

The Judicial Communications Office said Judge Hugh Bennett would deliver his ruling to McCartney, Mills and their lawyers during a private court hearing.

He will then decide, after hearing from their lawyers, whether to make any of the ruling public.

Mills, 40, and McCartney, 65, separated in 2006 after four years of marriage. They spent six days in court earlier this month trying – and failing – to decide on Mills’ share of the former Beatle’s fortune, estimated at up to $1.6 billion.

The couple have a 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice.
