Doubly good news for the singer Amy Winehouse: The Associated Press reported that on Friday in a London court she was acquitted of charges that she assaulted a fan who wanted to be in a photograph with her. Sherene Flash, a dancer, has said that Ms. Winehouse hit her in the eye at a charity ball in Berkeley Square on Sept. 26 when she asked to take a picture of Ms. Winehouse. But Timothy Workman, a district judge, ruled in favor of Ms. Winehouse, who testified Thursday that she had been startled when Ms. Flash stood next to her to pose for a picture that was being taken by a friend. Reuters also reported that Ms. Winehouse is among the artists whose music appears on the iPod of Prime Minister Gordon Brown. His playlist also includes the Beatles, U2, Bach and Beethoven.
