Here's a classic story about making lemonade out of lemons. Who can forget the notorious video leaked last year of Grammy-winning singer Amy Winehouse smoking crack? Not her finest moment, I think we can all agree. The good news is, all profits made from the sale of said video will be going to anti-drug and children's charities.
John Blagrove and Cara Burton, the couple who caught Winehouse's bad behavior on tape sold it the footy to UK tabloid The Sun for a pretty paycheck of $80,000. A Snaresbrook Crown Court Judge has recently ordered the duo to take that money and turn it over to anti-drug charities and non-profits to support children.
- "If it goes to charity, that is the most just result in my opinion," Judge Tudor Owen stated.
These two are far from angels, though - Blagrove has previous drug charges resulting in two years imprisonment, and Burton received two years probation.
We think that's the absolute best use of that money. Now if only The Sun would donate a portion of the money they made off of magazine sales! Say no to drugs, kids!
