WINEHOUSE DROPS MOTHER-IN-LAW SUIT

AMY WINEHOUSE has reportedly agreed to drop a lawsuit against her former mother-in-law for selling the singer's love letters to ex-husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL - to smooth over their divorce.
The Back to Black star was allegedly compiling a case against Fielder-Civil's mother Georgette after she allowed intimate letters to be published in the British press last year (08).
Winehouse was set to file suit against her former extended family by taking Georgette to court for copyright infringement - and wanted $75,000 (£50,000) in damages.
But the singer agreed to drop the case against the 44-year-old after Fielder-Civil asked her to stop legal proceedings in a heartfelt phone call about their divorce settlement on Tuesday (15Sep09).
Georgette tells Britain's News of the World newspaper, "He told Amy: 'My mum's only a hairdresser. That's one of the conditions (of the divorce settlement) that you leave my mum alone so there is no more rift with the families.'
"Amy said she'd deal with it immediately, which is amazing. We've all been to hell."
Fielder-Civil has reportedly dropped his demands for a $9 million (£6 million) divorce settlement from the star.

She's just a few drops away from the end of the hard acid rain that has constantly been disrupting her parade, and she's close to being able to let go of having to feel miserable most of the time. This part of her recovery goes well.

I dunno, my first thought was that somehow Blake convinced her to do that. I imagined him bringing up the fact that he dropped asking for his 6mil because he loves her, so couldn't she drop her lawsuit to prove likewise?

Of course, that's just my head in overdrive cos I think Blake's a total scum, but whatever. Hopefully this is all in her moving towards PEACE and a final goodbye to this life-sucking situation.

Either way, it is progress...... The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.

Maybe Amy has just decided to treat all of them with the contempt they richly deserve?

Sometimes, in order to get thru Hell, one must relieve oneself of old baggage.

Maybe I'll pick up that lawsuit...

Maybe I'll pick up that lawsuit...

Contact music left out the scariest part of the NOTW story:

And Georgette also revealed she is writing a tell-all book about the couple's turbulent relationship, that has been dogged by heroin and alcohol addiction, adultery, jail and fights. The book is due out in February and proceeds will go towards her planned new drug rehab centre in Yorkshire.
Georgette said: "It is a true account of what really happened.
"I was in the middle of it all with Blake and Amy - things I've never said before. It's explosive."

Payback....it's what's for dinner!

Georgette, go fuck yourself.

What's extra crazy is that, if I'm remembering right, didn't Georgette and Amy use to be pretty close? I seem to remember Amy being pretty attached to her as a mum figure (even more than her own mum), and now, well, yknow.

If Georgette makes anyone want to kill too much, always remember her at her very finest (the brokedown Rizzo look):

[suestev07]

I may be wrong, but I don't recall Amy ever being close to Georgette. I seem to recall her trying to be civil (no pun intended) to Georgette...

[lyricgenius]

Agree with Sue.

[Winehousedrunk]

A sad woman, George, and a @%*&$#!, but I don't want to swear (she's not worth it), so it's just symbols.;-)

The viper from hell - no wonder Blake's a mess. If Georgette brings out a book, surely the lawsuit will be back on. As for proceeds going to a planned rehab centre - yeah, right.

I also read in the NOTW article that Blake will be 'allowed' to see Amy in February - I guess he was released on probation then?

It's not over yet I'm afraid. The war of the Civils, round 2, may be just around the corner.

Stupid whore.. rise above it Amy.. nobody will buy the book anyway
