Amy Winehouse has reportedly received a personal call from former South African President Nelson Mandela to ask her to perform at his 90th birthday.

The ex-politician called the Back To Black star to invite her to sing at his birthday concert in London’s Hyde Park in June.

Celebrity chef Jessica Seinfeld has denied claims she stole recipes from fellow cook Missy Chase Lapine to use in her own book.

Lapine sued Seinfeld and her comedian husband Jerry earlier this year for copyright infringement and defamation.

Lapine claimed the recipes in Jessica Seinfeld’s best selling cookbook Deceptively Delicious are “brazenly plagiarised” from those in her own book, The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies For Hiding Healthy Foods In Kids’ Favourite Meals.
