Winehouse's jailed hubby files for divorce

LONDON, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- The jailed husband of British singer Amy Winehouse has begun divorce proceedings after seeing pictures of her with another man, an attorney says.

Blake Fielder-Civil, who has been imprisoned since failing a court-ordered drug test last month, has instructed celebrity lawyer Henri Brandman to initiate divorce proceedings against Winehouse, the Daily Mail reported Sunday.

Brandman told the British tabloid Fielder-Civil had instructed him to launch the action on the grounds of Winehouse's alleged adultery. Sources said Blake will would attempt to collect half the singer's $15 million fortune.

The moves comes after Winehouse told another British tabloid, The News of the World, she has kicked her drug habit for good and admitted she had "forgotten I'm even married" to Fielder-Civil, claiming, "our whole marriage was based on doing drugs."

Winehouse, 25, was recently photographed kissing and cuddling 21-year-old Josh Bowman while on an extended break on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, the Daily Mail said.
