*Troubled British pop star Amy Winehouse was arrested Wednesday after authorities came across a nearly 5-month-old video tape of the artist doing drugs at her north London home.
The footage, filmed in January, showed the 24-year-old inhaling fumes from a small pipe during a party at her home. Britain's The Sun tabloid published still images from the video later that month.
According to the Associated Press, Winehouse was confirmed to be in police custody by her rep Chris Goodman.
"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries," Goodman said in a statement. "The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year."
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror reported earlier Wednesday that the five-time Grammy-winner received a personal phone call from Nelson Mandela inviting her to sing at his star-studded birthday bash on June 27.
The newspaper quotes an "insider" who says: "Amy was stunned when she got the call. She thought it was a hoax. …But once she worked out it really was him she accepted straight away and gushed about how much she was looking forward to it. She couldn't believe it."
