Amy Winehouse: Cleaned Up For Court

by Celebuzz on Mar. 17, 2009 08:14 AM / 1 Comment

Amy Winehouse looked fairly presentable for a court date in London yesterday. And that's saying something for her.

The beehived singer, looking almost refreshed (!?!) since returning from her extended stay on the island of St. Lucia, was there to answer to charges that she assaulted a woman who asked for a picture with her at a charity ball, according to the Daily Mail.

Winehouse pled "not guilty" to punching dancer Sherene Flash at the event last September.

Amy posed for pictures for the assembled paps and replied "I'm all right, thanks," when asked how she was feeling.

She is out on unconditional bail, and her trial date is set for July 23.

Due to the assault charge, Winehouse has been denied a US Visa to perform at the upcoming Coachella Music Festival in California.

“No folks, this isn't Amy Winehouse arriving for the UK equivalent of the David Letterman Show, this is in fact the kind of media scrum the pop sensation has to endure every time she pops out in London. Mix in the fact the walking beehive was due in court today and you can multiply her popularity ten fold.”

“These are pics of Amy outside the courthouse, and for most women, I'd normally suggest rocking a little cleave to convince the judge of your innocence. (I've seen Judge Judy once. That's like law school
- times a million.) However, with Amy Winehouse I probably would've suggested something a little less risque. Like a beekeeper's outfit - complete with mask.”
