Amy WinehouseAmy Winehouse is reportedly being paid £500,000 to play a single gig at Paris Fashion Week.

The singer, who is said to be reverting to her old ways after leaving rehab earlier in the month, is expected to fly to Paris today to perform at the Louis Vuitton show this weekend.

A source said: “Despite her troubles, Amy is being positioned as a modern day icon. People are copying her look and her music and the fashionistas want to make sure they’re keeping on top of the trend.”

Meanwhile back in London, Amy’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil appeared in court this morning at Snaresbrook Crown Court to plead not guilty in his ongoing perverting the course of justice case.

In November, Blake was charged with allegedly paying off the victim in his grevious bodily harm case, James King. Blake and his co-defendent James Kennedy are said to have agreed a deal with King to have him out of the country when the GBH charge came to court so that the case would be dismissed. Blake has been on remand at HMP Pentonville since his arrest and is now expected to remain there until at least the next pre-trial hearing on 25th April.

As well as entering his plea at this morning’s session, Blake’s legal team requested that the judge prevent the media reporting on details of the case ahead of the trial in June, specifically on whether the assault charge and perverting the course of justice case should be heard during the same trial or separate ones.

However presiding Judge Radford denied the request, saying: “Information relating to the two charges faced by Mr Fielder-Civil has already been widely publicised. I don’t see what is to be gained by preventing reporting of the debate over the format of the trial at this stage.
