Winehouse splurges on honeymoon
May 24th, 2007 by Sam
Amy Winehouse has reportedly spent almost $20,000 on a three-day honeymoon with new husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
The British singer forked out a small fortune at a luxury Miami hotel, where the newlyweds splashed out on vintage champagne and room service.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Amy told Blake that she’d spare no expense” - she’s working so hard now that they tried to cram two weeks’ worth of fun into two days. They locked themselves in and wouldn’t even leave to let the chambermaids change the linen! Every few hours, they’d call and ask for bubbly and occasionally French fries.
The couple’s $5,000-a-night suite at the luxury Shore Club hotel boasts its own pool and private masseuse service. Amy’s room service bill for the three-night stay totaled $2,000.
Petite Amy, 23, tied the knot with 24-year-old Blake on Friday (May 18, 2007) at the Miami-Dada County marriage license bureau - just two weeks after he proposed.
Their whirlwind marriage stunned Amy’s friends and relatives, as she had recently broken-up with her chef lover Alex Claire.
The “Rehab” singer dated Blake in the past but the relationship ended bitterly after he allegedly cheated on her.
Heartbroken Amy, who has Blake’s name tattooed on her left breast, said the experience inspired the angst-ridden lyrics on her “Back To Black” album and contributed to her wild behavior and weight loss at the time.
