bullet Winehouse to remarry ex-hubby in Vegas corner

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse plans to remarry her former husband Blake Fielder-Civil in Las Vegas.

'They will definitely be getting married and have agreed on Las Vegas. Amy doesn't want a traditional ceremony and wants it to be similar to their first wedding,' femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

'She chose not to marry in Miami again because she thinks it could be a bad omen. She can't stop talking to people about their future together.'

The singer, who was previously denied US visa for possessing cannabis and assaulting a fan, needs to get the all-clear from authorities before she can fly out to plan the ceremony.

The Las Vegas Herald is essentially a local Las Vegas newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Las Vegas, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Las Vegas, Nevada, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Las Vegas Herald.
