Winehouse courts attention in London

Singer Amy Winehouse turned a London court appearance into a spring fashion show yesterday as she pleaded innocent to assaulting a fan at a party last year.

Paparazzi flashed away at their first sighting of the diva since she returned from an extended break on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. (AP)
