Singer in all clear over footage

No action will be taken against Amy Winehouse in relation to a video handed to police.

The footage which was given to police in January showed the singer smoking a substance which was believed to be illegal drugs.

A statement issued by the singer's spokesperson said: "(Police) have now concluded their enquiries and no charges will be brought. Amy's bail date to return to Limehouse police station has been cancelled, bringing this matter to an end."

The singer was said to be "pleased" about the decision and is looking forward to playing the summer festivals - her itinerary includes slots at T In The Park festivals, Glastonbury and V.

I bet she's bloody 'pleased'; if that was crack I'll eat my hat.

This is unfortunate. No consequences means no change in behavior. Look for more of the same from Amy since she no doubt must conclude she's above the law. This is not going to end well...
