NOW WHAT? : Amy Winehouse is NOT going to Israel for any drug treatment!

LATEST: AMY WINEHOUSE has refuted reports she is set to travel to Israel to receive rehabilitative treatment to kick her alleged drug addiction. According to the Jewish Chronicle, the troubled singer was reportedly ordered by her management to undergo a "very short, intensive and effective treatment" costing $12,800 (£6,400) at the western Asian country's Barzilai Medical Centre. But Chris Goodman, a spokesman for the singer, insists the 24-year-old Rehab hitmaker has "no plans" to fly to Israel. He says, "These are just old rumours. She's going back in the studio and has absolutely no plans to go abroad for treatment."

In other news though, she has confirmed she has been working on the title track from forthcoming BOND movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE - following weeks of speculation about the track. The troubled star was rumoured to have been dropped as the film's official musical muse after DJ Mark Ronson told reporters he had scrapped his 007 collaboration with the singer because she was not "ready" to work on music after a recent return to her erratic ways. But Winehouse has now confirmed that she has in fact completed the song and is just waiting to get the green light from movie bosses over whether the song will be used in the film, which is due in cinemas later this year (08).

She says, "I've written the song. If they like it, they like it. If they don't, they don't." And Ronson adds, "If I talk about it (James Bond star) Daniel Craig will whack me in the eyes. Amy wrote the song on an acoustic guitar. It was my job to help with the arrangement and realise the sound we were going for. So that was my role."

WHAT HAPPENED TO STAGE NAMES?: DMX now accused of trying to falsify name on hospital bill!

You know that I will continue to remain on DMX side.....regardless.....On April 15, Mayo Clinic doctors thought they were treating a man named Troy Jones for pneumonia. But it was really Earl Simmons, better known as rapper DMX, trying to dodge a hospital bill, according to court documents obtained Friday. The rapper checked into the Phoenix campus’ emergency room, complaining of shortness of breath and chest pains, the documents said. “Someone in the projects is going to get the bill,” Simmons told a visitor to his hospital room, according to a May 9 search warrant served on the hospital by Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies.

The search warrant said Simmons provided the hospital “false information including name and address for billing purposes,” and that the high-profile rapper had committed the crime of “theft of services.” A confidential source inquired about Simmons’ room, but was told the hospital had no patient by that name. The source later said Simmons told him he checked in as Troy Jones to avoid paying the bill.

Still, Simmons, who owns a clothing line and acts, appears to be struggling financially. He and his wife, Tashera, who have four children, were sued in Maricopa County Superior Court last year by American Express Travel for $64,866 plus late charges, interest on a credit card and attorneys’ fees. The couple had paid a portion of the bill, but with other fees, still owed $83,353, as of April 23, court records said. I wonder if the Arizona media would report the story if it was someone else with a stage name or another race! Pleeeze, I work in the"mainstream" media ....whatever that means and I know when to cross the lines or stretch the limits!
