In case you didn’t hear, Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil are officially over now.  They were granted a “quickie divorce…on the grounds of Amy’s adultery.”  But finally being done with Wino is not enough for Blakey.  He’s asking for a £6 million ($9.8 million US) – approximately 2/3 of Amy’s estimated worth – in their divorce.

Blake apparently feels entitled to her money because his infidelity (before they were married) inspired Amy’s album, Back to Black.

“Blake’s family don’t want him to ask for money but he hasn’t given up on a hefty payday.   He thinks he was a big part of her success with Back To Black and deserves money for what he put up with.”

A friend of hers called Blake’s request “absolutely ridiculous.”

“Amy did write Back To Black when Blake left her, but why on earth should he be getting a dime for making her feel so bad?  She was at her lowest ebb when she wrote that album. Her boyfriend had left her for another woman and she poured her heart and soul into the writing process.

“It’s like saying that the man who writes a book about his murdered wife should give the murderer some of the profits.”

Interesting logic there.   I think I’ll make sure the rest of my kids’ childhoods are just heinous, so I can sue them for part of the proceeds when they write their memoirs!  And all my exes?  Get to it, folks!  I just discovered my new gravy train!
