Former Sugarbabes star Mutya Buena is teaming up with jazz songstress Amy Winehouse to record a duet.
Buena quit the pop trio in late 2005 to spend time with her baby, but is planning to launch her debut solo album later this year.
Brit Award winner Winehouse met Buena at a recent industry bash and the strong-voiced singers have decided to collaborate.
It was one of the most talked about cinema releases of 2006, and even got Oscar nominations, as well as winning a Golden Globe for its star, Sacha Baron Cohen.
Now Borat is getting the DVD treatment, and whatever you may think of Baron Cohen, there’s no denying he’s looking to provide real value for money and plenty of laughter with this small screen release.

Jazz songstress Amy Winehouse was forced to cancel her London concert last night due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
The Rehab star was set to play the Shepherds Bush Empire, but pulled the plug on the gig hours before she was due on stage.
