Amy Winehouse

In a brief court appearance on Tuesday in London, Amy Winehouse reportedly pleaded not guilty to a charge that she assaulted a fan. Sherene Flash, a dancer, has said that Ms. Winehouse, the soul singer, hit her in the eye at a charity ball in Berkeley Square on Sept. 26 when Ms. Flash asked to take a picture of Ms. Winehouse. After her lawyer apologized for her late arrival, Ms. Winehouse appeared in the City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where she confirmed her name and date of birth and entered her plea. A judge released her on bail and ordered her to return for a hearing on July 23.

Winehouse, 25, was dressed in a summery floral print, low-cut dress, which revealed her many tattoos and her bra strap, and four-inch pink stilettos. Asked at one point, as she fidgeted with her hair, if she was okay, she turned a security guard and said, “Me? I’m alright.”
