Blake: Amy Winehouse stole cocaine from Kate Moss's bag
By Georgina Littlejohn, London Lite Last updated at 15:01pm on 28.07.09Amy Winehouse stole cocaine from Kate Moss's handbag, the singer's ex-husband has claimed.
Blake Fielder-Civil said the couple were partying with the supermodel in New York when Winehouse went into Moss's purse and pocketed two grammes of the drug.

They were mingling with other models and Hollywood stars in a private suite at the city's Gramercy Park Hotel.
He told The Sun: “Kate had told Amy to get a $10 note out of her handbag to snort lines with.
“But Amy told me she found two grammes of cocaine in there — so she nicked them. We did some in the toilets and had sex, but we did the rest in front of everyone.”
And he added that Moss, 35, was “so drunk she never noticed it was missing”.
Fielder-Civil, 27, who married Winehouse, 25, in May 2007 but divorced her 11 days ago, also said his ex got addicted to heroin immediately after her first hit of the drug.

He claimed she first tried the Class A substance during one of their “mad nights” in an east London hotel room in 2006 after watching him take it. “We had a bottle of pink champagne and had sex and were lying on the bed talking. I'd been smoking heroin on my own before that but never in front of her,” he said.
“I got a bit for myself and she looked at me and said, Can I have some?' I was out of my mind on drugs and I said, Of course.'
“She inhaled the heroin and then just sat back, smiled, and her eyes went a bit funny.
“She said, I can see why you take this'. Amy took to heroin like a duck to water.”
But Fielder-Civil, who claimed they spent up to £7,000 a week on drugs, said within a matter of weeks, the singer was begging him to buy more, before she allegedly moved on to crack cocaine.
Kate Moss was unavailable for comment today.
Meanwhile, Fielder-Civil was today reported to have been sent back to rehab after failing another drugs test.
Failing a test is a breach of his parole terms. He was released from prison in February after serving time for assault and trial-fixing.

Lay off Amy she is a flawed genius, with talent galore.Her talent is more important than her flaws. I don't care about her drug habits, her silly 60s hairstyle, she is a singer and one of the best. Her personal habits do not detract from her talent.

In this country, if you have money you can get away with anything. Drugs, no problem - the police turn a blind eye. Beat someone up because they won't let you play whatever music you want - oh you were threatened, even though you had about 4 friends with you. What a shambles. Who said money doesn't buy you everything.

For crying out loud, if these two silly women want to snort themselves to death, should the rest of us care? They are both has-beens anyway. Where´s today´s news?

Please stop giving this lowlife column inches!
I think Amy is a sad case whose past behaviour and reputation overshadow her talents. H owever, the photos of her on her arrival back in London a week or so ago showed her looking clean and healthy, fingers crossed she can stay that way and get back to what she does best. Give her a break while she is trying.
