CAPTION By Leon Neal, AFP/Getty ImagesAmy Winehouse, 26, was in court this morning in London, pleading guilty to drunkenly assaulting a theater manager at a family Christmas show.
In court, it was revealed she had five vodka and Coke drinks before going to the show that starred Mickey Rooney. Once there, she got a little loud. At one point, she left the auditorium to use the restroom and stopped at the bar to ask manager Richard Pound for another drink. He suggested she have a glass of water instead and then asked her to leave.
He said Winehouse "with no premeditation, grabbed his hair and pulled."
She was ordered to pay the manager about $300 and the equivalent of two years of probation. Winehouse appeared in court under her married name, Amy Civil, but without her wedding ring.
