Amy WinehouseTroubled singer Amy Winehouse has followed through on her promise to move in a bid to escape her drugs past.

The Back to Black hitmaker refused to return to either of her two London homes after she was admitted to a rehabilitation centre last month  - fearing the temptations of her former party lifestyle will hamper her recent rehab progress.

Actresses Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson passed time on the set of new movie The Other Boleyn Girlby practicing their best dance moves - in 16th-century costumes.

Johansson, who plays Portman’s sister in the historical drama, has described her 26-year-old co-star as a “good dancer” and claims she was the most likely to perform an impromptu routine on set.

But Portman insists it was the Lost In Translation star who stole the limelight with her “booty dance”.

Carly Simon has become the latest star to join the ranks of coffee chain Starbucks’ record label roster.

The You’re So Vain singer has joined former lover James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Sir Paul McCartney after announcing her new album, This Kind Of Love, will be released by Hear Music in April.

The album features collaborations with revered songwriter Jimmy Webb and Frank Filipetti, who joined Simon for her late-1990s Film Noir album, and tracks written by the singer’s children Sally and Ben.
