Amy Winehouse told a throng of reporters outside her home on Sunday that she was sorry if anyone was offended by the video of her singing a song full of racial epithets that was posted on the Internet the day before. Another video showed her passed out on a sofa while a friend recounted their recent drug consumption.

Earlier this weekend News of the World posted a video of Winehouse and a friend singing to the tune of the children's song 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,' with the lyrics changed to 'Blacks, pakis, gooks and nips' followed by 'And deaf and dumb and blind and gay,' repots the Daily Mail. Before the women start singing, Winehouse's husband Blake Civil-Fielder can be heard promising that he isn't actually filming the pair.

The following day Winehouse found the press outside her door, eager for a comment. Winehouse told the members of the media she was sorry, according to the Daily Mail.

News of the World also had a second video of Winehouse shot by Civil-Fielder. As the camera watches her sleeping on a couch, he can be heard talking to friend who says they had done "A little bit of E, a little bit of C and a few beers, watched telly, smoked crack."

Finally, there was a cache of personal photos of the husband and wife.
