Amy Winehouse is feeling some shame after News of the World publish a video of the singer chanting a racist nursery rhyme. The video, shot by Amy’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil sometime last year, showed Amy and a friend named Sarah sitting on a sofa and making up their own words to the children’s song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.”
Blake pretends NOT to record the unfolding events and eggs them on, saying: “Can we have a singsong of it?”
Sarah is at first reluctant but soon warms to the action as Amy enthusiastically sings:
“Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips!
“And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!”
She repeats the first line over again and on the word “Nips” Amy pulls her eyes into slits then pushes her boobs up in a gesture to her nipples.
Yesterday, paparazzi swarmed Amy’s home in London and asked her to comment on the tape.
Winehouse later stood outside her north London home, telling paparazzi that she was sorry, adding: “I don’t want to play anything down, but I’m the least racist person going.”
In other Wino news, Blake plead guilty in a London court to charges of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Fielder-Civil, 26, has been in jail awaiting trial since November 2007. During pretrial arguments last week, which could not be reported because of British media restrictions, he changed his plea from not guilty to guilty, admitting that on June 20, 2006, he assaulted James King, the landlord of Macbeth’s pub in London.
He also pleaded guilty to a charge that he conspired to pervert the course of justice by offering King money to withdraw his allegations and leave the country.
Blake is expected to be sentenced next month. Typical punishment for grievous bodily harm is three years. He could also have more time added on for the perverting the course of justice charge.
