"Distressed Amy Winehouse went to prison yesterday... but stopped off first for cigarettes and snacks. The bleary-eyed babe was stocking up for her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently being held in custody at HMP Pentonville. Blake faces up to life imprisonment if found guilty of trying to pervert the course of justice. He is also accused of assaulting barman James King in June last year. An insider says: 'It is a real struggle for Amy, it is taking so much out of her. But she is relying on intimate phone calls to Blake to get her through. He has been crying himself to sleep at night, and Amy just can't bear it.'" (3AMGirls)

"The camp of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) hoped to capitalize Wednesday on what it says was a biased report on CNN about a campaign event at which a McCain supporter referred to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as 'the bitch.' Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, said in an e-mail to supporters that CNN owes the Arizona Republican an apology for its reporting of the story. The campaign laments that CNN portrayed the event as though McCain did not defend Clinton forcefully enough. The senator, in the short video clip, expressed his respect for the former first lady."
