Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil is seeking a divorce. Henri Brandman, who is representing Mr Fielder-Civil, released a brief statement saying: "I can confirm that I have been instructed to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy's adultery."
The couple, who married in Miami in May 2007, have faced difficulties over Winehouse's alleged battle with drug addiction and Fielder-Civil's jail sentence for assault and perverting the course of justice.
Fielder-Civil was arrested in November 2007 over helping to beat up a pub landlord then attempting to buy the victim's silence.
He was later sentenced to 27 months in prison.
Despite her medical struggles she won five Grammy awards for her 2006 album Back to Black.
The singer's father Mitch Winehouse has openly aired his concerns about her marriage to Fielder-Civil.
Following the couple's 2007 arrest in Norway for possession of marijuana, he declared on ITV's This Morning: "She was a complete opponent of hard drugs - in fact, she got up and said she couldn't understand why people in the music industry took hard drugs and that changed about six months ago when she got married to Blake.
"And I'm not saying it's Blake's fault, what I'm saying is Amy's responsible for her own actions.
"However, it's a fact that the hard drugs coincided with their marriage."
During concert appearances last year, Winehouse often exhorted fans to call for the release of "my Blake". But she has been linked by tabloid newspapers to other men and recently has been photographed on holiday in the Caribbean with an alleged new boyfriend, Josh Bowman.
Winehouse's spokesman said: "Papers have been received and the matter is with Amy's lawyers."
Former EastEnders co-stars Joe Swash and Kara Tointon have been enjoying "noisy sex sessions", say reports.
The I'm A Celebrity winner and his soap star girllfriend's love making is so loud that it has been annoying their families.
"I had to put up with it for weeks when he was staying," Swash's mum Kiffy told The Sun.
Swash and Tointon played brother and sister Mickey Miller and Dawn Swann in the BBC show. Swash left the programme in July 2008.

The pair, both 36, made the announcement a week after the baby was born but gave no explanation for their choice of name.
The name is derived from the Biblical word 'seraphim', which is Hebrew in origin, and means 'fiery ones'.
Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck was born in Los Angeles on January 6.
The couple have another daughter, Violet Anne, three, who was born in the Californian city on December 1, 2005, less than six months after they got married in the Caribbean.
Affleck co-starred with Garner in the hit action film 'Daredevil', and they began dating in 2004.
The celebrity couple, who live in the exclusive Los Angeles suburb of Brentwood, were spotted arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve, presumably thinking the baby was coming then.
In the weeks before the birth, Garner, who has starred in films including '13 Going on 30', and 'Elektra', was seen out and about in Santa Monica and taking her daughter to and from nursery school.
Garner confirmed the pregnancy in August after joking: "Oh, I'm not pregnant. I just had a lot of carbs for breakfast. It's just - what do they call it - a breakfast pouch."
In the interview with Access Hollywood, she added: "It always makes me laugh when people say 'Is she?' 'Isn't she?' It's like eventually you will know, so just chill out for a minute.
"We're so excited, obviously."
Affleck, who won an Oscar for 1998's 'Good Will Hunting', stars in three films due to be released this year - Extract, He's Just Not That Into You', and 'State of Play', based on the BBC mini-series about a team of journalists investigating the mysterious death of an MP's mistress.
FANTASY Island legend Ricardo Montalban died yesterday aged 88.
He was best known as mysterious Mr Roarke in the 1970s ITV show, where he fulfilled the dreams of guests, helped by tiny sidekick Tattoo.
Montalban also won an Emmy award for How The West Was Won in 1978.
He appeared in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, The Naked Gun and two Spy Kids films.
The Mexican star died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, US. His wife of 63 years, Georgiana, died in 2007.
He is survived by four children and six grandchildren.
RIP Ricardo
Emmy-winning actor Patrick McGoohan, best known for starring in cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner, has died at the age of 80.
He died in Los Angeles after a short illness, his film producer son-in-law Cleve Landsberg told Associated Press.
McGoohan played the character Six in the surreal 1960s show, filmed in the north Wales village of Portmeirion.
He won two Emmy awards for his work on TV detective series Columbo, playing different characters.
The first came for an episode of the series in 1974, with another 16 years later.
'I am a free man'
The screen star also won a Bafta award for best television actor in 1959 for his role in The Greatest Man In The World, a one-off drama in ITV's Armchair Theatre series.
In more recent years, McGoohan played King Edward Longshanks in the 1995 Mel Gibson film Braveheart.
The actor also starred in ITV series Danger Man, which began in 1960
The actor, who was born in New York and raised in England and Ireland, came to screen prominence in TV series Danger Man, in which he played a secret service agent. The programme later aired as Secret Agent in the US.
He was later considered for the role of James Bond for the movie Dr No.
But McGoohan was chiefly associated with cult ITV drama The Prisoner, writing some of the episodes himself under a different name.
His character spent the entire time attempting to escape from The Village and finding out the identity of his captor, the elusive Number One.
He repeatedly declared: "I am not a number - I am a free man!"
In 2000, McGoohan reprised his most famous role in an episode of The Simpsons.
McGoohan's last role came in 2002, as a voice artist in animated picture Treasure Planet.
Last year, ITV confirmed that Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel would take the role of Number Six in a remake of The Prisoner, which will also star Sir Ian McKellen.
RIP Patrick
Gary Barlow has become a father for the third time.

Danielle Lloyd reportedly acted as a bouncer for Rihanna and Chris Brown at an afterparty in London.
Rihanna asked the British glamour model to keep track of any girls that were spending time with her boyfriend after his concert at the O2, according to the Daily Star.
"[Rihanna] was a bit wary of Danielle to begin with, because she's really hot," said a source. "But she took a shine to her and let her come backstage. Then poor Danielle spent the entire time being Chris's bodyguard.
"Rihanna kept asking Dani to keep her updated on which girls were talking to Chris and why. Danielle was the only girl Rihanna let Chris have a picture with. And even she wasn't allowed in his company for too long."
Earlier this week it was rumoured that Rihanna has banned X Factor winner Alexandra Burke from meeting her R&B star lover.
This is so sad:
Martin and Gary Kemp are reportedly "struggling to cope with the double loss" of their mother and father.
The Spandau Ballet brothers are being comforted by family and friends following the family tragedy, reports The Mirror.
Retired printer Frank, 79, suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead at a Bournemouth hospital where Eileen, 77, was being treated for a heart bypass. She died 48 hours later of "a broken heart". A joint funeral is planned for the couple, who were married for 55 years, next week.
"Martin and Gary adored their parents. This has hit them like a double lightning bolt," a friend said.
That's terrible, losing a father and a mother within 48hrs of each other.
RIP The Kemps
Its so sad
This is tragic, RIP Frank and Eileen.
:crying:that is sad.. dying of a broken heart... RIP to both of them.. as they were in life, they are now in death...
Boy George has reportedly landed a job in prison as a canteen worker.
The former Culture Club frontman has been given the £6-a-week role serving food to his fellow inmates at London's Pentonville Prison.
The singer, real name George O'Dowd, was handed a 15-month jail sentence last week for falsely imprisoning a male escort.
Fellow prisoners are upset that he has been given work so soon after being admitted, according to The Sun.
"It won't go down well if he's seen to get special privileges. People have to wait weeks before they're given good jobs," a source said.
Speaking about the food, the insider added: "It was bland. It must have been a shock. Conditions here are poor and so is the food, nothing like he's used to. Prison is a great leveller.
"George has been very quiet. He's not been crying, but seems to be in another world and sleeps a lot."
PR Guru Max Clifford recently claimed that the possibility of Boy George making a comeback after his sentence is "unlikely".
Britney Spears is reportedly close to signing a deal worth £10 million to pen an official autobiography.
According to The Mirror, the 'Circus' singer has already teamed up with a literary agent and is expected to begin writing the book following her world tour.
"There have been numerous unofficial biographies printed about Britney, but she's never agreed to pen her own tome - until now," said an insider.
"And some of the stories she's got are absolute dynamite. She's kept diaries so there's nothing she'll leave out unless she wants to."
The source added that Spears could eventually write "between three and five books throughout the next decade", adding that it was "one of the most lucrative deals in showbiz history".
The 27-year-old's mother Lynne released her own autobiography last month, entitled Through The Storm: A Real Story Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World.
crazy isnt it
Well it would certainly be interesting to read.
She has experienced a fair bit in her short life, so she should have plenty to tell.

Amy Winehouse has been branded a heroine after rescuing an injured woman from drowning.
The 'Rehab' singer was relaxing on a beach in St. Lucia when she saw Louise Williams being hurled from a boat during a sailing lesson.
"A six-foot wave caught the boat and I went flying and hit a rock," Williams told The Sun. "Amy was on the beach 20 metres away and she ran across immediately and said, 'Let’s have a look at you.'"
Williams, 39, said that Winehouse saved her from being swept away by the tide and that she helped clean and bandage her wounds.
"I was bowled over by her kindness. She went out of her way to help me...It shows there’s another side to her."
When asked about the incident, Winehouse would only say: "I thought she was going to drown."
Yesterday, it was reported that the singer, who arrived on the Caribbean island in December, had been enjoying a holiday romance with a hotel sports instructor.
Well done, Amy :clap:
Katie Price has claimed that rapists should be subjected to the same ordeal as their victims.
Speaking to OK! about her views on justice, she said that she believes in the concept of "an eye of an eye".
"If someone rapes a girl he should be bent over and the same thing done to him. I'm sorry, that's just the way I feel. I'm very strict," she said.
"And if someone steals they should have to wear a dye on their skin, like a tattoo on their ear or somewhere it can be seen - like across their face. That would stop people stealing."
The 30-year-old model also suggested that drink-drivers should have their licences removed for life.
I think some of her views are extreme but I do agree with the drink drive comment. There's no excuse for drinking and driving.
I actually agree with her. People may not like her but at least she speaks her mind and says things that most people are thinking anyway.
Charlotte Church's former boyfriend Kyle Johnson is being hunted by police in connection with a multimillion-pound heroin haul.
Police have issued a photograph of the 24-year-old, who dated the Welsh singer for 18 months before their relationship ended acrimoniously in 2005.
Scotland Yard said that Johnson is wanted for questioning 'in connection with the supply of a large seizure of Class A drugs'.
Heroin worth £20 million was seized in a raid on a three-bedroom house in Forest Gate, East London, last month.
The force said that despite his strong links to Cardiff, Johnson has been living in the Stratford area of London and could still be in the English capital.
She must be so glad she is no longer involved with him
Prince Harry has reportedly been dumped by his girlfriend of five years, Chelsy Davy.
The split came after the Zimbabwean student decided that she could no longer cope with the pressures of the Prince's military career, reports the Mail On Sunday.
A military insider said that the Prince has just embarked on an intensive 18-month training course with the Army Air Corps and will have little time for anything else, while a Royal aide said that the split was "amicable".
"It's all very recent and has come as something of a shock. They are a couple who were very much in love, it just seems to be the case that it was the right person for Harry but the wrong time. They are still very young, so who knows what will happen," the source said.
The couple first met in 2004 and their relationship was confirmed several months later when Prince William told a reporter that his brother was "madly in love".
Alexandra Burke's mother Melissa Bell is being investigated for suspected benefit fraud.
The former Soul II Soul singer admitted that she is "outraged" after London's Islington Council launched an investigation into whether she has been cheating the system.
Bell claims disability and income support for her severe diabetes but has been accused of receiving money for performing at a number of gigs.
"I rang the council and they have admitted I am under suspicion of benefit fraud. I am absolutely outraged," Bell told Metro.
"The council can come and search me right now," she added.
The singer claims that she has not received any payment for professional gigs while she has received benefits and that any money she did receive was given to charity.
"Officials have looked online at all the places I have appeared and have contacted them all.
"But any money I have received I've given to the Kidney Patient Association. I am very mindful of the rules."
i didnt know she was in soul to soul....now that makes me feel old lol
Eamonn Holmes has said that he would "slap" Rihanna if she were his daughter.
The TV presenter told Star magazine that he finds the 'Disturbia' singer's need for an entourage "pathetic".
"I find the entourages that some people come with, especially the Americans, really pathetic," the former GMTV host said.
"Rihanna, for example, is a beautiful girl, but if she was your daughter, you'd give her a slap and tell her to wise up. She is surrounded by people who treat her like a little flower."
Holmes, who now presents on Sky News, claimed that Solange Knowles was "stand off-ish" when he quizzed her about sister Beyoncé and admitted that he would like to interview Prince Williams's girlfriend.
"I'd love to interview Kate Middleton, I think that would be very interesting," he said. "She's a very attractive girl!"
Madonna reportedly 'flew into a rage' after discovering that unflattering photos of her had been leaked to the press.

Pictures from the star's Hard Candy record have been widely circulated that appear to show the 'real' Madonna before the images were modified.
"Madonna called up the label screaming when the photos got out," a source told Metro.
Madonna's agent has yet to comment.
this woman needs to retire

DELIGHTED Denise Van Outen’s dream has come true — after stage star boyfriend Lee Mead popped the question.
Lee, 27, asked her to marry him before whisking her away on a Caribbean holiday last week.
The lovebirds had met when she was a judge on BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do talent show which Lee won — landing the lead role in musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Last night a pal of the couple said: “Denise and Lee are so happy.
They are both traditional people and it was a traditional proposal as Lee went down on one knee and then took Denise to St Lucia.
“Of course Denise said ‘yes’ straight away! Lee bought a ring that Denise says is beautiful.”
Friends say the couple aim to tie the knot later this year.
They have just moved into a pile in Kent and plan to spend more time together as Lee finished his Joseph stint this month.
The pair began dating weeks after Lee won in June 2007. TV presenter and performer Denise, 34, fancied Lee as soon as she saw him, saying: “He’s gorgeous.”
The pair did not get together until he had split with girlfriend, dancer Kerry Stammers.
Denise, of Basildon, Essex, was engaged to singer Jay Kay. They met in 1998 but split in 2001. She also dated club owner Richard Traviss for three years until 2004.
Aww, congratulations, hope it all works out for them :cheer:
Oooh, congrats to them. She is a lucky lady indeed.
Aw thats so sweet. Good luck to them both. Hope they have a very happy future together. Nice to hear something positive and happy about a celebity these days,. or is that just me lol.
The former boyfriend of Olivia Newton-John who was thought to have drowned at sea faked his own death, it has been claimed.
According to US investigators, Patrick McDermott is currently travelling along the coast of South America to avoid paying his debts and to allow his son to collect his life insurance policy.
McDermott was dating the Grease actress around the time of his disappearance on a fishing boat called The Freedom in June 2005, the Daily Mail reports.
Lead investigator Philip Klein told NBC show Dateline that his agency was close to finding Newton-John's former partner.
"He's alive - there's no doubt in my mind, this guy's alive," he said.
i always had my doubts he was dead
Tributes are being paid to comic writer Sharat Sardana, who has died at the age of 40.
Sardana collapsed at his father's home suffering from a streptococcal virus, reports the Evening Standard. He died at Whipps Cross University Hospital in East London on Tuesday.
The writer was behind television hits such as Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars At Number 42.
Actors Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar described Sardana as being like a "brother". In a statement, they said that they are "stunned and completely broken hearted" about his death.
The statement read: "He was not just a gifted writer and a long-standing colleague and friend. We were part of each other's extended families and losing him feels like losing a brother."
Executive producer of BBC Comedy Jon Plowman called Sardana's death a "truly shocking loss". "It's a very sad day for comedy to lose a writer who managed to help comedy break through in the way that Goodness Gracious Me did," he said.
I'm thinking Geri might be a little bit happy right now:
Geri Halliwell has announced her engagement to Italian yacht tycoon Fabrizio Politi.
The 36-year-old Spice Girl - who split from London nightclub owner Nick House in December - only met Fabrizio in a nightclub in Florence last month.
Geri's management firm 19 confirmed in a statement: "We are delighted to announce the engagement of Geri Halliwell and Fabrizio Politi.
"As a token of their commitment to each other Fabrizio presented Geri with an engagement ring over the festive season.
"There are no immediate plans for marriage as the couple are enjoying their engagement."
The Daily Mirror reports Fabrizio, 34, dazzled Geri with a £220,000 diamond engagement ring and she is "ecstatic", calling him "The one".
She is said to have told a friend: "I am over the moon. We are so happy. He constantly makes me smile. I could not be happier."
A source told the paper Geri is delighted at how Fabrizio has bonded with her two-year-old daughter, adding: "Geri is desperate for another brother or sister for her daughter, and to have a man in her life who can be a father to them. It feels right and they are both very happy."
Geri reportedly introduced Fabrizio to her close friend George Michael and told him of their engagement over dinner at Notting Hill's E&O restaurant on Saturday night.
I'm happy for her, even if I think she might end up getting hurt..
Christine Bleakley's ex-boyfriend has claimed that there was a "third person" involved in their recent break-up.
Mark Beirne reportedly cited Bleakley's One Show co-host Adrian Chiles as the reason behind their split.
A friend of Beirne told the News Of The World: "The reports that Mark dumped her are nonsense. She dumped him and he's gutted.
"He knew the relationship was going through a rough patch - but as far as he was concerned she was the one. They'd even talked about marriage. But there's a third person involved and that’s Adrian. They’re keeping it quiet for now but it’ll all come out in time."
Bleakley's friends blasted the rumours as nonsense, with one stating: "Adrian and Christine are good friends but there is nothing more to it than that. They see each other occasionally out of work but that doesn’t mean there was any romance. Adrian definitely had nothing to do with the break-up."
The couple's Belfast home has now been put on the market.
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have started an unfortunate war of words with their neighbour over the internet. The couple complained about screenwriter Bruce Goldsmith's construction work waking them up at 7am every morning. "The neighbour doing construction with 6 guys pounding hammers against steel at 7am is no way to wake up!" wrote Demi on her Twitter page. While husband Ashton added: "I'm gonna kill my neighbour!" Goldsmith fired back, saying that Kutcher "just doesn't want to deal with reality. He's out of line." Now the Ghost actress says she didn't realise how controversial her words were going to be. "We're big fans of Twitter. We're addicted. It was in good humour, wasn't meant in any way to be mean-spirited," she said, trying to pacify the situation. "By the time it was done, we were laughing. We both went to our respective appointments and by the time we each got to where we were going, we couldn't believe what had happened." Ashton has now apologised to Goldsmith for taking his grievances out on the web by posting a video - err - online.
Amy Winehouse has reportedly handed over control of her £14.5m fortune to her parents. The singer has spent recklessly in the past and is thought to have made her mum and dad, Mitch and Janis, "articles of association", giving them voting rights which could restrict her actions. The decision means that Amy will not be able to make any major business decision concerning her company, Cherry Westfield, without their consultation. "Everyone is pleased because it means Amy is listening to good advice. It's still her money and nobody else can touch it. But this stops her doing anything stupid. And it is evidence that Amy is really turning her life around," a source said. "Her dad was also worried she might be tempted to go back to Blake (Fielder-Civil) - and put him in charge. That is now impossible. This would never have happened before, certainly not when she was with Blake. It's her money and nobody else can touch it. But she can't do anything stupid."
Mel B and Eddie Murphy have reportedly settled their legal dispute regarding their one-year-old child.
The pair had entered into a war of words after Murphy denied that her daughter Angel Iris was his on Dutch television.
Murphy later took a DNA test which confirmed that he was the father.
According to RadarOnline, the actor and former Spice Girl have now settled their legal dispute, with Murphy being granted visitation but not custody rights to the child.
Mel B recently confirmed that she would be interested in becoming a judge on the X Factor.
Scary Spice, I think she would give Simon and co. a run for their money :lol:
