British singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested and is being questioned at a police station in east London about alleged drug use, her rep tells Usmagazine.com.

"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment," her rep said in a statement. "She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year."

The singer also went to rehab that month.

In April, Winehouse spent a night in jail on a common assault charge.

The singer spent the night in a London police station after being arrested for assault

Body

British singer Amy Winehouse was released from a London police station Saturday after spending a night in custody following her arrest for an assault.

The "Rehab" singer, 24, voluntarily met with police Friday for questioning after tabloid reports that she allegedly head-butted a man who tried to hail her a cab outside a bar in London on Wednesday.

Winehouse was cautioned by police about the incident, which will remain on her record and could be held against her if she gets in more legal trouble down the road, according to the Associated Press.

The Grammy Award winner, who went to rehab in January, "looked a mess" on her way to the station Friday, an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com.

Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been in jail since November on charges of assault and witness-tampering.

A judge ruled on Friday he will remain in jail until at least June 9.

The Grammy-winning singer is "doing well" and recovering from a bacterial infection, her rep tells Us

Body

Amy Winehouse is saying no, no, no to rehab — despite a report in a British paper today.

"Amy's doing well. She is not going back to rehab at this time," the Grammy-winner's rep tells Usmagazine.com.

The Sun, citing sources, reported that Winehouse's "management had considered flying her to a clinic in Israel, but are now looking further afield. They are assessing a clinic in Cape Town in South Africa."

Rumors surfaced after Winehouse, who spent two weeks in treatment this past January, appeared in photos with her face covered in scabs. The Sun attributed her condition to drug use.

"The problem is that her face looks bad because of impetigo — it's not a nice thing, but it's not related to drugs," her rep tells Us. "It's a bacterial infection."

For now, the 24-year-old is "having time off, recording a bit at her home studios, about to go back into the studio properly and working towards her husband's freedom," her rep says.

Blake Fielder-Civil, whom she married in Miami last May, has been in jail since Nov. 8 on assault and conspiracy charges.

Dad: Amy Winehouse Shattered by My Affair

His adultery was an open secret in their household growing up, he reveals in new interview

Body

In a new interview, Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch reveals that he cheated on his wife Janis and that the affair emotionally hurt his Grammy-winning daughter.

He says he began having an affair with a female colleague (who worked with him at a double glazing firm) shortly after Amy and her older brother, Alex, were born.

The affair was an open secret in the Winehouse home.

"The children used to call Jane 'Daddy's work wife,'" Mitch says on the upcoming BBC special, "One Life: Rock Star Parents," airing Tuesday.

When Amy was 10, Mitch left his family to move in with his mistress. The two later wed.

"It was difficult," he says. "I should have left earlier."

When he left, Mitch says, "there was not really a negative response from Amy, but she definitely became a lot more independent.

"Perhaps deep down she felt her parents were splitting up, she could not rely on them to stay together and that it was about time she learned to look after herself," he adds.

"I thought Amy was over it pretty quickly - in fact, it felt at the time Amy felt no effect at all."

But she suffered. Unable to articulate in words, she channeled her emotions in music.

In the lyrics to "What It Is About Men," Amy refers to the affair: "All the s--t my mother went through."

Mitch — who has since reconciled with his daughter — says he doesn't think his affair led to her drug and alcohol problems (which caused a seizure in August).

"I think she would have found her way here one way or another without any help from me," he explains.

"It is easy for me to say it is my fault, and that had I been a better parent, this would not have happened," he adds. "But who knows whether it would or not?"

Amy Winehouse Has Contagious Skin Infection

The singer has been put on antibiotics for impetigo, which caused lumps on her cheek

Body

Amy Winehouse's cheek is lumpy and itchy from a contagious skin infection.

"Amy has been diagnosed with impetigo, which she's been told can be highly contagious," her rep says. "Because of that, she's been put on antibiotics and may have to stay home alone for the next few days."

Impetigo is a common skin infection among children, according to the Mayo Clinic. "Although it commonly occurs when bacteria enter the skin through cuts or insect bites, it can also develop in skin that's perfectly healthy," their site reports. "Impetigo is seldom serious, and minor infections may clear on their own in two to three weeks."

Winehouse, 24, won five Grammy Awards last month and has been battling addiction issues.

PLUS: "I'm feeling really good," she tells Us after the Brit Awards

Body

Amy Winehouse's jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil wasn't in the crowd of London's Brit Awards last night, but he still got a shout out.

After the singer, 24, performed "Love is a Losing Game" off her Back to Black album, she yelled to the audience, "I love you baby!"

"Make some noise for my husband, my Blake!" she added, as the crowd cheered.

Civil, whom she married last May in Miami, has been locked up since Nov 8 on assault and conspiracy charges.

"I'm feeling really good. I've got everyone here. [I'm a] lucky girl!" Winehouse told Usmagazine.com at the show. Of her husband, she added, "I miss him!"

Winehouse, who donned a tight black dress that she nervously lifted during her performance, wasn't nominated for any awards. (Producer Mark Ronson's "Valerie," of which she was a featured artist, was up for Best British Single.) She nearly swept the Grammy Awards Feb. 8, taking home five awards of the six she was up for, including Best New Artist.

Watch the video of her performance below.
