Amy Winehouse is in the spotlight again - this time thanks to a bizarre online video featuring baby mice.

The troubled singer is seen with musician Pete Doherty playing with mice they say are one day old.

The pair posted a clip called Winemouse on YouTube.

In the video Winehouse, 24, holds one of the creatures on her finger and sends a message to her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is in jail awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

"Blake, please don't divorce mummy. She loves you ever so," she says.

Both Winehouse and Doherty have had long-term, well-publicised drug problems.
