Amy Winehouse admits it went beyond seasonal spirit.
The soul diva pleaded guilty Wednesday to assaulting a theater manager who asked her to leave a family Christmas show starring Mickey Rooney because she had too much to drink.
The singer, whose scrapes with the law often overshadow her music, was given a fine and a warning to stay out of trouble by a judge who praised her for trying to clean up her act.
District Judge Peter Crabtree ordered Winehouse to pay her victim 185 pounds ($300) in costs and compensation, and handed down a conditional discharge, meaning the singer will avoid further punishment as long as she does not commit any more offenses for two years.
“(That) may be harder than a fine, because you have now got to stay on the straight and narrow for the next two years,” the judge said.
“If you commit another offense you’ll be hit hard and you’ll be hit twice,” he said.
A scrum of photographers met media-magnet Winehouse as she arrived at Milton Keynes Magistrates Court, 50 miles north of London, dressed in a white shirt and dark skirt with her beehive hair piled high.
The 26-year-old singer admitted charges of disorder and common assault during a Dec. 19 performance of the pantomime “Cinderella,” in which 89-year-old Rooney played the heroine’s father, Baron Hardup. The petite singer had earlier admitted drinking five vodka and cola drinks before the show.
Audiences at British pantomimes — a popular form of seasonal variety show incorporating fairy-tale plots, slapstick humor, cross-dressing and music — are traditionally rambunctious and are encouraged to shout at the stage and join in with the songs. But prosecutors said Winehouse’s behavior went beyond the usual audience participation.

Prosecution lawyer Julian Vickery said Winehouse had been “raising her voice in the spirit of the pantomime” during the show at Milton Keynes Theater. She “accepted in interview that some members of the audience may have found her disorderly,” and one had asked her to be quiet, he said.
The attorney said Winehouse was moved to a private box for the second half of the show, but later left the auditorium to go to the toilet and, passing the bar, asked manager Richard Pound for a double vodka and Coke. Vickery said Winehouse felt “hurt, embarrassed and patronized” when Pound suggested she have a glass of water instead and then asked her to leave because she had had too much to drink.
He said Winehouse “with no premeditation, grabbed his hair and pulled.” She also was overheard muttering obscenities.
The judge said it was “obvious that alcohol played its part” in the incident. He said a medical report showed the singer had since tried to curb her drinking.
“You clearly have taken effort from this report to address your alcohol problems and any other problems you may have, so you get credit for that,” the judge said.
Defense lawyer Paul Morris said Winehouse had made “huge changes” to her lifestyle.
Winehouse had been charged under her married name, Amy Civil, after reporting to a police station Dec. 23.
The singer shot to stardom with the Grammy-winning album “Back to Black” in 2006, but her music has been overshadowed by drug use, legal run-ins and a tempestuous marriage that ended in divorce last year.
Since her divorce from Blake Fielder-Civil in July, Winehouse has kept a lower profile, spending several months in St. Lucia and then moving from London’s nightlife hub of Camden to the quiet suburb of Barnet.
She recently has been back in the recording studio, raising fan hopes of a follow-up to “Back to Black.”
Last July she was acquitted of assaulting a fan who asked to take her picture after a charity ball. The judge said he could not be sure the blow had been deliberate.
After Wednesday’s hearing, local police superintendent Simon Eatwell warned that celebrity disorder would not be allowed in Milton Keynes, a busy “new town” of 200,000 people, largely developed since the 1960s.
“Milton Keynes has a very safe nighttime economy,” he said. “We will not tolerate incidents of public disorder and will always deal with them robustly.”

Amy Winehouse allegedly stole cocaine from Kate Moss’s handbag, her ex-husband has claimed.
Blake Fielder-Civil said they were partying with the supermodel in New York when Winehouse went into her purse and pocketed two grammes of the drug.
They were mingling with other models and Hollywood stars in a private suite at the city’s Gramercy Park Hotel.
He said: ‘Kate had told Amy to get a $10 note out of her handbag to snort lines with.
‘But Amy told me she found two grammes of cocaine in there – so she nicked them.
‘We did some in the toilets and had sex, but we did the rest in front of everyone.’
And he added that Moss, 35, was ’so drunk she never noticed it was missing’.
Fielder-Civil, 27, who married Winehouse, 25, in May 2007 but divorced her 11 days ago, also said his ex got addicted to heroin immediately after her first hit of the drug.
He said she first tried the Class A drug during one of their ‘mad nights’ in an east London hotel room in 2006 after watching him take it.
‘We had a bottle of pink champagne and had sex and were lying on the bed talking. I’d been smoking heroin on my own before that but never in front of her,’ he said.
‘I got a bit for myself and she looked at me and said, “can I have some?” I was out of my mind on drugs and I said, “of course”.
‘She inhaled the heroin and then just sat back, smiled, and her eyes went a bit funny.
She said, “I can see why you take this”. Amy took to heroin like a duck to water.’
But Fielder-Civil, who claimed they spent up to £7,000 a week on drugs, said within a matter of weeks, she was begging him to buy more, before she allegedly moved on to crack cocaine.
Kate Moss was unavailable for comment.
Fielder-Civil was today reported to have been sent back to rehab after failing another drugs test. Failing a test is a breach of his parole terms.
He left prison in February after serving time for assault and trial-fixing.

OK! says a source told them that Amy Winehouse wants to adopt a baby from St Lucia.
A source said: “Amy is seriously thinking about adopting. But she is aware it’s going to be incredibly difficult with her background.
“She has always wanted to be a mother. She loves St. Lucia and would move there for good in order to adopt.”
But before we all freak out, her rep cleared up what Amy meant…at least I hope that is what he was saying.
Amy’s spokesman revealed: “Amy was talking about adopting in the context of looking after children on the island, perhaps through some kind of music and education-based project.”
Could you imagine her adopting? I can’t, I can’t even picture her having kids the natural way.

The jailed husband of singer Amy Winehouse has started divorce proceedings against her, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Blake Fielder-Civil has instructed a lawyer to file papers. “I can confirm that I have been instructed to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy’s adultery,” Henri Brandman told PEOPLE, confirming a statement he made to a Sunday tabloid in the U.K.
And Fielder-Civil’s mother Georgette adds that it was she who contacted Brandman on her son’s behalf last week. She says, “I am just so relieved it’s going to be all over.”
The couple have been through many ups and downs and it is the second time in six weeks that Fielder-Civil or those close to him have spoken about a split.
Mrs. Civil vows: “It will go through this time, it will go ahead.”
Winehouse’s rep in the U.K., Chris Goodman, had no comment.
The singer has spent recent weeks vacationing in St. Lucia – often along side a hunky rugby player.

Amy Winehouse appears to be winning her battle against drugs as she looked the picture of health during a winter break in the sun.
And the singer also seems to have gained a considerable amount of weight over the last month.
Pleased with her new curves, Amy happily flaunted her topless figure in a pair of skimpy bikini bottoms.
The star is currently receiving treatment at a London clinic after a drug overdose.
And by the looks of things, rehab is having a positive effect on the star as she seemed relaxed and enjoying the break while frolicking on the Caribbean beach.
The 25-year-old, who was admitted to a clinic last month after suffering ‘a bad reaction to her prescribed medication’, has also reportedly started daily two-hour sessions at the gym.


‘She has hired a personal trainer,’ a source revealed.
‘She’s very enthusiastic about her sessions and bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate.
Janis, Amy’s mother, recently revealed: ‘She’s being taken care of. She’s resting and eating well, and there are no drugs there.’
Husband Blake Fielder Civil, 26, has also been in rehab as part of his 27-month prison sentence for GBH and trial fixing, but failed a drugs test and was put back in jail.
He could now be in jail until early 2010 after breaking the early release terms of his 27-month sentence.
Fielder Civil told a tabloid of the extent of his drug-taking with award-winning singer Miss Winehouse, how he introduced his wife to hard drugs, and his fear as she collapsed with a seizure after an all-day binge.

The music video assistant, broke down as he told of how Amy asked him to let her try crack cocaine as she watched him taking it.
He revealed he was so consumed with remorse he considered taking his own life. ‘I feel like killing myself. I feel like f***** dying.’

Wow. I thought I had seen greedy families before but Blaaaaake’s family takes the cake. Hell, they take the whole damn bakery and then try and get the factory as well. According to The News Of The World which is where I get all my news from, Blake was offered $100K by Amy Winehouse’s dad if Blake would agree to divorce Amy. Blake laughed in his face. Apparently Blake has offered to go away if he is given $2M, and promises not to write a tell all book. Well of course he won’t because he probably can’t even write. After all the drugs this guy has taken, I am actually surprised that he can make a coherent sentence.
Well if you think Blake’s offer is outrageous, let’s see what his dear old mom had to say. Now, when I think of mother’s I like to think of sweet saintly people. Like my mom for allowing her senior citizen kid to live in her basement and keep her snide remarks to one a week when she has been nipping at the tickle pink. If you don’t get that one, then you really have never lived. That is all I am saying. Aahhh, screw cap wine.
Blake’s mom said that Blake should get $6M from Amy. “Mitch’s $100,000 offer was an insult. Amy’s worth $20 million and Blake’s her husband. He’s entitled to at least $6 million after all he’s been through with her.”
Ummm, hey lady. All he has been through with her? You make it seem like he got the short end of the stick here. He was a no one when he met her. What did he do for her life? Oh yeah. He got her hooked on crack and heroin. Got her to start cutting herself and made her have sex with other women. Yeah, he has been through a whole lot. Hell, if it was not for her he would be living at home with you stealing money from your purse so he could go get some crack.
How in the hell could you ever think he deserves anything? How on earth did he contribute anything to their marriage. Last I checked he was pretty much a miserable loser who got lucky in the lottery of life by convincing Amy to marry him.
