Winehouse was arrested in her Bergen hotel room along with her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, and one other person, prosecutor Lars Morten Lothe said Friday. He said the arrest came after a tip-off to police.Lothe said Winehouse was arrested at 6 p.m. Thursday for possession of seven grams (a-quarter of an ounce) of marijuana. She was fined 500 euros ($714), after which she was released, Lothe said.Authorities say, with the fines paid, they consider the case closed.Winehouse -- known for a string of R&B hits including "Rehab" -- was scheduled to perform in in Norway Friday and Saturday before continuing her tour Monday in the Netherlands.Winehouse rocketed to fame this year with her acclaimed album "Back to Black," but her celebrity has also been fueled by her tabloid image. The Londoner has publicly battled drugs and alcohol, and her hit single "Rehab" relates her resistance to being pushed to go to rehab: "They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said no, no, no."

It sucks that so many singers,rapppers etc. are getting busted for drugs but since they are famous they don't get the real punishment they should get since they can buy thir way out of things.

Christopher Paul Neil was taken into custody early Friday in Nakhon Ratchafima, a town about 200 kilometers (130 miles) northeast of Bangkok, where he was allegedly attempting to contact underage boys.Neil, 32, kept his head covered with a blue shirt as he was paraded in front of a throng of photographers as he arrived in Bangkok, however he was made to sit with his head uncovered  at a news conference a short time later.A police official explained that Neil did not want to speak at the news conference.

  He will be extradited to Canada after being prosecuted in Thailand, police spokesman Pongsapat Pongjaren told AP. Interpol, the international police agency that issued a worldwide appeal for information in the case last week, said the suspect had been working as an English teacher in South Korea and flew from Seoul to Bangkok last Thursday.An arrest warrant issued in Thailand was based on the testimony of a boy who said he was lured to Neil's apartment in Bangkok by a Thai man, Wimol said Thursday, according to AP.

  The boy said Neil paid them for sex acts.Interpol also issued a worldwide alert after about 200 photographs showing a man sexually abusing 12 different young males were posted on the Internet.The photos, which authorities believe were taken in Vietnam and Cambodia in 2002 or 2003, had been digitally altered to disguise the man's face. But German investigators were able to reverse the process and restore the images, and his picture was then distributed worldwide.The suspect was identified within three days after the photographs were released, based on tips from five sources on three continents, according to Interpol.

In my opinion this dude is sick how gross is that you are so lonely you go after little boys thats not right.Espically since he put it on the internet that shows how many nasty people are in the world.
