Blake Fielder-Civil supposedly offered £20,000 to 'smash' the Babyshambles man

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil allegedly offered an inmate at London's Pentonville Prison £20,000 to beat up Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty.

According to The Sun, Fielder-Civil was convinced that his wife was cheating on him with the singer/guitarist, so attempted to enlist Richard Lyttle, a former doorman who was serving time with him in jail, to harm him.

However, according to the newspaper Lyttle did not accept the money, and instead reported Fielder-Civil to the police when he left prison.

Police took no action, reports the tabloid.

"We were sitting in my cell and he (Fielder-Civil) said, 'If you get Doherty for me I'll give you £20,000'," Lyttle is quoted as saying. "He said, 'Amy's obviously sleeping with him.' He knew I used to be a doorman and knew some tough people. He said he wanted him smashed to pieces."

Blake why are you in jail? Oh yeah because you can't control your temper and beat some one up. Getting someone else to do your dirty work doesn't make it any better. As much as i like the libertines music and the majority of babyshambles tunes, it seems that these celebrity heroin addicts (peter, amy, blake, although what did he ever do except marry amy?) have a deluded vision of themself in which they are a sharp dressed crime lord when in fact they are a bunch of scruffy, sweaty, dirty looking folk who only know those associated with the 'world of crime' because of their dealers. Blake has apparently been recorded saying 'it is big and it is clever' with reference to heroin, i hope he has an overdose and wakes up permanently damaged, then we'll see if its big and clever. On the other hand, this story about paying someone to beat up peter and the other story about him saying 'its big and clever' were both in the sun newspaper so its highly likely that both stories are completely false!
