The troubled singer has signed a deal to use images and lyrics from her award-winning 'Back To Black' LP - the bleak record penned in the aftermath of her first split from now-estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil - on a series of stationery. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: The bosses at EMI are keen to keep the cash cow churning out the money. The first item in the Winehouse range will be wrapping paper with the chorus of 'Rehab' emblazoned all over it. The Amy-branded cards are classy too. 'You Know I'm No Good' is best for heartfelt apologies and 'Back To Black', with an appropriate wreath, will be the respectful response to a bereavement. While the venture has been attacked for being in poor taste, Amy's publishers insist they have had a great response from the public for the idea.Jonathan Channon, EMI Music Publishing Europe vice president said: We are looking to create innovative revenue streams from our songs with mainstream retailers and the Amy wrapping paper and gift cards received a very positive response. These are songs which already have a great resonance with the public. Amy is currently living in St Lucia, where she is working on her much-delayed third album.
The 'I Kissed A Girl' singer has posted a provocative photo of herself lying nude in a bathroom, with a tray of half-eaten pizza protecting her modesty, on her Twitter account.The 24-year-old star was halfway through her world tour when she fell ill in Milan, Italy.After being unable to eat for three days, Katy wrote about her sexual attraction to foods including crispy beef, curry and pizza.She said: Why is it that after not eating for three days all i can think of is food... food is smiling at me... luring me with sexual seduction (sic). Questioned by her fans she then revealed: Few of my fave things. BBQ chicken chop at CPK Chinese, chicken salad at Chinchins, Rock shrimp + yellow tail sashimi at Nobu, Crispy beef at Mr.Chow's, endive salad at Le Petite, four curry chicken salad at Urth Cafe, my beloved double double at INnOut.
The 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' rocker let the 50-year-old singer stay in his luxurious French mansion when her adoption of the four-year-old Malawian child became too stressful and she needed to escape from the public eye.He said: It has been tough for Madonna. But she's doing good. She's been staying in my place in France while it was going on. I'm glad it's worked out. Madonna was told earlier this year she would not be allowed to adopt the child because she hadn't lived in the African state for 18 months – a prerequisite in Malawi.However, after months of battling the decision, Madonna - who raises three other children, adopted son David Banda, three, Rocco, eight, and 12-year-old Lourdes - was reunited with her new daughter last weekend after the adoption was finally approved.This is not the first time Lenny has offered his home to a friend in need. When US baseball star Alex Rodriguez separated from his wife Cynthia last year, the 45-year-old rocker gave Cynthia the keys to his Parisian home while she got over the split.Madonna reportedly dated Alex during the final months of her marriage to Guy Ritchie and referred to him as her soulmate .
The 51-year-old actress donned the leather catsuit for 1992 movie 'Batman Returns' and would be willing to reprise the sexy role. She said: Oh yeah, it would be really fun. That was really fun. I had a good time. However, Michelle admits producers of the latest franchise of 'Batman' films may not want her because they would like a new actress for the role.  Talking about whether bosses would bring back Catwoman for a new movie, Michelle said: I think they like to get a new face for the different characters, and I understand it. Despite accepting she won't be asked to return to the franchise, Michelle recently revealed she wants to give whipping lessons to the next Catwoman. She said: You would think they'd bring her back. They better... They should! I would be there for the consult. I can give the whipping lessons. I did my own whipping. Both Angelina Jolie and Rachel Weisz have been mooted for the role, but Michelle refused to choose a favourite saying only they would both would be awesome .
Amanda Brumfield - who is estranged from her actor father - was alsoindicted on aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter charges onWednesday (24.06.09), following the death of a one-year-old girl in her carein Florida last October.Brumfield, 29 - who was charged with child neglect causing harm or disability earlier this month - was booked at the Orange County jail.When she was initially arrested, Brumfield reportedly told police the child died after sustaining a head injury following a fall from a playpen. It is alleged she did not call for help for two-and-a-half hours. An autopsy showed the youngster had a fractured skull and a brain injury, prompting the death to be ruled a homicide.A police spokesman said at the time: It's not believable that a one year old can balance themselves on a railing. We do believe her head hit a hard object but you would either have to fall harder or hit something with more force than a 28-inch playpen fall. After Brumfield's arrest, Thornton's publicist said: Mr. Thornton is estranged from Amanda and has had no contact with her for quite some time. However, when informed about this situation, he ed that, 'Any time a baby's life is lost is an unimaginable tragedy and my heart goes out to the baby's family and loved ones.'

A source close to Michael Jackson tells "The Insider" that the international superstar and pop-music legend has passed away earlier Thursday afternoon. He was 50. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office tells "The Insider" that Jackson was transported from his residence in full cardiac arrest on Thursday. They say life-saving efforts were made by paramedics throughout transport to the hospital and efforts in the hospital emergency room continued on unsuccessfully. Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. The King of Pop, who will be forever immortalized for his world-famous, trademark dance moves and chart-topping success, was arguably one of the most popular recording artists of all time, his success peaking during the 1980s. Jackson was born in Gary, IN on August 29, 1958. Before he became a solo artist, Jackson was the youngest member of the Jackson Five, the explosive ‘60s band formed by his four older brothers -- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon Jackson -- put Jackson on the path to stardom. Jackson's talent was brought to the attention of producer Quincy Jones, who cast him in the role of Scarecrow in 'The Wiz' (1978), a musical based on 'The Wizard of Oz.' The film also featured Diana Ross and Richard Pryor. The rising pop star reunited with Jones in 1982 with the mega-hit album, Thriller. The title track, along with "Beat It," "The Girl is Mine," and "Billie Jean," would make him an indelible icon of pop culture. The album garnered seven Grammy awards. His unmatchable musical talent was coupled with an intriguing idiosyncratic image that, in later years, overshadowed the singer's own success. But the '80s marked Jackson as a contemporary legend. Jackson's eccentric persona was perpetuated with the help of his one-gloved hand. In 1993, a mother accused Jackson of molesting her 13-year-old son during a visit. The case was eventually settled out of court for a reported $20 million. Still, America remained enamored with the pop star; a reported 62 million viewers tuned in to his 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey. The later years of his career and personal life proved to be a tumultuous affair. The change was perhaps foreshadowed most significantly a year after he married Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley. His album, HIStory, released in 1995, failed to become the success it was anticipated to be. His 2001 album, Invincible, which reportedly cost $30 million to produce, would suffer the same fate. During the same year, in November, he married former nurse Debbie Rowe. She gave birth to Prince Michael Jackson I in 1997. Two years later Jackson and Rowe filed for divorce. In November 2003, more legal trouble emerged when a 12-year-old boy claimed that Jackson molested him at his Neverland Valley Ranch. A year later Jackson gave his DNA sample to authorities after police searched his estate for evidence. In 2005, Jackson was tried and exonerated of child molestation, conspiracy and alcohol charges that could have sent him to prison for nearly 20 years. Despite the tribulations in his personal life, Michael Jackson mark in history never faded. He has inspired young pop stars like Justin Timberlake and Usher, and his classic, instantly recognizable songs continue to be heard in dance clubs and households across the world. Jackson is survived by his three children: Prince Michael Jackson I, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
