Mariah Carey was left "furious" after being told she wouldn't be sitting with U.S. President Barack Obama's family during his inauguration.

The "Touch My Body" singer - who performed at a ball to celebrate Obama being sworn in - was left aghast when she discovered she had to sit with other celebrities during Tuesday's ceremony.

Mark Ronson has rejected Amy Winehouse's bid to repair their friendship.

The producer is still furious with Amy - who he worked with on her worldwide hit album "Back to Black" - for ruining their chance to record the theme song for new James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace."
