Amy Winehouse in court over assault charges

Amy Winehouse and a gaggle of paparazzi and fans turned the normally sedate City of Westminster Magistrates court into a media circus this afternoon.

Amy Winehouse, a gaggle of paparazzi and press, adoring fans, burly bodyguards and well-groomed lawyers all converged on the City Of Westminster Magistrates Court today as the Winehouse media bandwagon marked its official return from the sun kissed islands of St Lucia to the slightly chillier London.

Not that Amy seemed to notice as she made her appearance at court today in a revealing floral print mini-dress.

It was not all light-hearted though as Amy was in court on charges of assault. It is alleged that she assaulted dancer Sherene Flash last September at a charity ball in London. Ms Flash said Amy had attacked her after she had requested for a photo which had been initially agreed to.
She case was adjourned to July 23, when no doubt the circus will return.
