Tattle: It's splitsville for Winehouse

HARD TO believe they couldn't make it work, but the marriage between

Amy Winehouse

and

Blake Fielder-Civil

is

finito

.

He's already moved on to German model Sophie Schandorff and Amy's probably moved on to . . . some new street drug.

"It's over," Amy said yesterday in London's News of the World. "There's no way back for us now. It was never going to last. We were only together for sex.

"I fancied him like mad, like no one else I've ever known. But it's not enough, is it?"

As if Amy's friends could be shocked by anything, they were shocked when she revealed the couple's wild sex life included lesbian romps and threesomes.

Although it is possible one of them was merely seeing double.

"Mostly it was Blake suggesting new things but Amy doesn't need encouragement," said an anonymous source. "They were like animals, at it all the time.

"Just like they were with drugs, they pushed themselves to the limit.

"They were into threesomes. It was Blake's idea but Amy said she'd been with women before so it wasn't a problem. She said she's had a string of female lovers.

"Whenever Blake said he wanted three-in-a-bed Amy would fix it.

"They didn't care about sharing themselves with others because it turned them on. They thought they were on this sexual journey together.

"And the pair of them were into some real kinky stuff, not just the usual bondage and sex games but really gross stuff you couldn't mention in a newspaper.

"Amy said that was the basis for their relationship. It was built on sex, so when he went inside prison there was nothing for them to fall back on."

Newman's Own Will

Interest in Newman's Own and Salad King also went to the Newman's Own Foundation, which will distribute all profits to charity.

* Travis Barker on Friday sued companies linked to a plane that crashed in South Carolina, injuring him and killing two friends.

The former Blink-182 drummer sued the plane's owners, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and an airplane-maintenance company, seeking more than $25,000 in damages.

Barker's suit claims the companies improperly operated and maintained the Learjet that overshot a runway and burst into flames on Sept. 19.

The crash killed two pilots, Barker's assistant, Chris Baker, and Barker's bodyguard, Charles Monroe Still Jr. DJ AM was also injured.

Barker is seeking damages for pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of earnings, and medical and legal expenses. Still's mother, Thelma Martin Still, joined Barker in the suit and is suing the companies for damages including grief and sorrow, funeral expenses and loss of earnings.

In a statement, Goodyear spokesman Ed Markey said that it was "unfortunate" that the suit was filed before the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation was finalized.

"While the tires may have been involved, it is too early to speculate on a cause," said Markey. "The performance of the tire is dependent on how the tire was used, if it was properly maintained and whether it was damaged before the accident."

* The Vatican has decided the Beatles weren't so bad after all.

So all you doofuses who burned your Beatles albums when John Lennon said that the band was bigger than Jesus, too bad. It's like limbo. New rules.

Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano recalls that Lennon's comment outraged many when he made it in 1966, but it said Saturday that the remark can be written off now as the bragging of a young man wrestling with unexpected success.

The newspaper as well as Vatican Radio last week noted the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' "White Album."

It said that the album demonstrated how creative the Beatles were, compared with what it called the "standardized, stereotypical" songs being produced today.

* Every state wants to attract film production - it's good publicity, stirs up some excitement and raises revenue.

Until something goes wrong.

During filming of "Public Enemies" in Wisconsin - the state's first film under the governor's new movie incentives - state highway traffic was diverted away from the center of Columbus, 70 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

Unfortunately, the detour road couldn't stand the load.

It collapsed.

What's left will cost nearly $116,000 to fix and lawsuits are being pondered.

The power of cheese only goes so far. *
