Amy Winehouse in clear...
...Blake's in it up to his neck!

FLAKY pop diva Amy Winehouse is to be CLEARED of trying to nobble her caged husband's GBH trial, we can reveal.
Cops have found no evidence she offered £200,000 to his alleged pub brawl victim to get him to change his evidence against Blake Fielder-Civil.
But tortured singer Amy's relief will not last long. Because we can also reveal her husbandwhose official prison mugshot is seen here for the first timecan't keep out of trouble even in custody.
The junkie has been banged up in SOLITARY after guards discovered he'd been getting DRUNK on jailhouse hooch and making calls on a banned MOBILE.
"He's distraught," a newly freed prisoner who shared his cell told us. "And he's worried about the impact it will have on his relationship with Amy."
The 24-year-old Back To Black singer seemed in hot water herself after being dramatically arrested last month and having her DNA and fingerprints taken.
She was quizzed over a suspected plot to bribe barman James King, allegedly beaten up by Fielder-Civil in an east London pub in June 2006. Cops held Amy on suspicion of offering £200,000 to King to drop his statement against Blake, 25, who has been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
But DNA tests have FAILED to provide any conclusive evidence to link her to the plot.
Cops have probed computer software in Amy's flat to see if she was involved in trying to set up a place in Spain for King to lie low until the case collapsed.
They have looked closely at where money allegedly offered to King came from but even if they source it back to Amy's bank account it is believed this will not be enough to charge her. A Crown Prosecution Service source said: "The evidence-building is purely circumstantial at this stage and is not enough to charge Amy with anything.
"If she did give money to her husband, this is not a criminal offence and is not enough to prove she was involved in a conspiracy. Unless new evidence comes to light it is likely the case against her will be dropped."
After her arrest, Amy was bailed by police until March. But she could be told she is in the clear well before then.
Fielder-Civil's prison bust came earlier this week after he was found with a mobile in his cell at London's Pentonvilleand a stash of hooch. He got five days in solitary confinement. Ex-soldier Bill Gage, 31, shared a cell with Blake when they were both in the prison hospital.
He said: "I got pally with him, and I can tell you he'll be having a terrible time in solitary.
"All you get is a book of your choice, letter-writing material and a copy of the Bible.
"He will be pretty miserable with no drugs and not even tobacco. And just before I was released he was gutted after hearing Peter Doherty was chasing Amy.
"He went on about Amy all the time, saying how he missed having sex with herthat it was quite fruity."
Meanwhile Amy's friends are terrified what she will do if her husband is convicted.
One told us: "She's hatched a suicide pact with Blake. If he lands a lengthy sentence she's determined to end it rather than face years apart.
"Her family are worried sick."
Amy was due back in Britain this morning from a break at rocker Bryan Adams' mansion on Caribbean island Mustique. Pals say she spent a miserable week, pining for Blake and in cold turkey after trying to lay off drugs.
Amy fled the UK after a police raid on her home in Bow, east London, and her arrest just days before Christmas.
