BEIJING, June 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Amy Winehouse on Monday apologized for singing racist lyrics in a homemade video, the same day when her husband -- who videotaped the performance -- pleaded guilty to assault and other charges, media reported.
The video, published Sunday by British tabloid News of the World, allegedly shows the star singing a version of children's nursery rhyme "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," replacing the words with racist slurs.
The video also shows Winehouse in a drug den surrounded by drug-taking paraphernalia. It was allegedly filmed in 2007, while Winehouse was honeymooning with Fielder-Civil.
Winehouse later stood outside her north London home, telling paparazzi that she was sorry, adding: "I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going."
Meanwhile, court officials confirmed Monday that Fielder-Civil has pleaded guilty to attacking a pub owner before attempting to cover it. He had been in jail on charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.
Winehouse and Fielder-Civil married in Miami in May 2007. He was arrested in November and has been in jail awaiting trial ever since.
