Amy Winehouse is helping to launch her goddaughter's music career. The troubled singer begged organizers of London's Berkeley Square Ball - an annual charity event in aid of The Prince's Trust - to let 12-year-old Dionne perform at the event Thursday night and she was eventually allowed to take to the stage.

A source said: "Amy's really pushing Dionne to be a big star. Amy's manager Ray always supports the Berkeley Square charity bash so she asked organizers if Dionne could perform a couple of numbers."

Alicia Keys says her fame can make you "a ghost of yourself."

The 27-year-old singer says her grueling tour schedule and long years of musical training have taken their toll on her life.

Joss Stone is recording a song for U.S. democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The "Fell in Love With A Boy" singer was reportedly asked to lend her voice to the song - which will be used as a theme to Obama's election campaign later this year - because she will appeal to voters of all races.

Amy Winehouse is planning to release the song James Bond bosses rejected.

Amy - who worked on the track with super producer Mark Ronson - is keen to show her effort is better than Alicia Keys and Jack White's collaboration, which was eventually chosen as the theme tune for 'Quantum of Solace'.

Alicia Keys couldn't stop belching after she ate just before going on stage.

The 'No One' singer - who was recently named the new face of Vitamin Water - admits she learned her lesson from the incident and now makes sure she eats a few hours before she is required to perform.
