Wino may duet with Pete at EMA

Amy Winehouse is being secretly flown in to spice up the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich tonight.

The event’s organisers hope the controversial singer will add a bit of rock ’n’ roll excitement to the normally clean-cut event.

There is even talk of a duet with Pete Doherty — and if that comes off MTV chiefs will certainly get their wish.

Amy is nominated for three gongs at the bash but no one knew if she would turn up to collect them.

Now she has decided to make the trip after her pal Pete’s band Babyshambles announced earlier this week that they would perform.

A source told me: "MTV have been trying to persuade Amy to go for ages. When she heard Pete was doing it she thought it could be a laugh."

A lot to get off her chest

Britney Spears let a man snort cocaine off her chest during a wild Jacuzzi party, it was claimed last night.

Guitarist Scott Kohler, 29, said the singer asked him and ten other strangers to her Hollywood mansion — two days after she lost visiting rights to her kids.
Kohler said one man offered Britney cocaine and “joked he wanted to do a line off her chest, and she agreed.”

Rare Banksy pic
His work sells for thousands of pounds and he is feted by the Hollywood elite, yet the identity of guerrilla artist Banksy remains shrouded in mystery.

Now a photograph has emerged which some people claim could show the reclusive artist at work on a London street.
The photograph, taken by a passer-by in Bethnal Green, shows a man at work with an assistant, scaffolding and a truck.
