Amy Winehouse pays inmates to protect jailed hubby and give him smack

Amy Winehouse pays inmates to protect jailed hubby and give him smack: “

Amy Winehouse is paying five inmates 1,000 pounds a week to protect hubby Blake Fielder-Civil from other prisoners in jail.

The ‘Rehab’ singer is shelling out a further 1,000 pounds to fund his drug habit while he is on remand in North London’s Pentonville awaiting an assault trial.

The deals emerged as a new video showed the 24-year-old singer taking drugs, having public sex with Blake and making racist chants.

‘Blake has people who look after him,’ the Sun quoted a source, as saying.

‘And he gets crack and heroin. Amy pays for it outside,’ the source added.

Digital Masterworks Art-TV could switch between TV and art display

Oh sure, GalleryPlayer enables your HDTV to instantly turn into an art display, but it doesn’t even pretend to be anything classier than a multifaceted television. Samsung, however, is looking to change the game by partnering with Thomas Kinkade on a new 46-inch prototype Digital Masterworks Art-TV. The unit was recently showcased to news media, and it’s said to be ‘housed n a Thomas Kinkade frame designed to accentuate the fine art theme.’ From what we can gather, it’s being aimed at folks who’d love a nice piece of art sitting above their mantel, but when the time comes, they can switch off the paintings and throw on a day’s worth of NFL in HD. The wild thing here is how important the actual art aspect is to the display, with hidden touch controls planned to enable viewers to flip through artworks and zoom in / out as they please. Heck, there’s even integrated WiFi, a 40GB hard drive, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 8ms response time and 500 nits of brightness. The set is due out exclusively through Thomas Kinkade’s Signature Gallery later this year, with iffy plans to release it to other retailers in 2H 2009.
