Amy Winehouse - Winehouse Denies Israel Rehab Trip

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 (GBP6,400) 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."

Influenced by the music of Lisbon, the stripe travelled throughout Europe and became especially popular in Belgium. Madredeus' debut album Os Dias da Madredeus was released in 1987 followed three long time subsequently by Existir and Capital of Portugal Live in 1992 on Blue Note; the grouping likewise appeared in the 1994 Wim Wenders film Lisbon Story (Viagem A Lisboa), in which Ayres MagalhÃ£es and Salgueiro played quite spectacular roles. In 1995, two albums followed, Ainda and O Espiritu Da Paz. Other releases include 1999's O Porto. Antologia followed a year later. Movimento, which was issued in summer 2001. Madredeus' musical machine continued into the next class; he switched up his inviting nature for the eclectic electronic remix attempt Electronico in summer 2002.

Ll Cool J - Ll Cool J Designs Kids Clothing Range

Rapper LL COOL J has signed up to design a range of childrens' clothing for a U.S. fashion chain.

The star - real name James Todd Smith - has teamed up with clothing giant Sears to create a line for young boys and girls which will be sold in over 450 stores across North America.

And Smith - who previously launched a men's line called Todd Smith - admits he turned to the women in his life for help in coming up with the designs.

He says, "I was raised by a matriarch, I have a wife and three daughters, so I know what women are looking for when they shop for clothes. Clothes have to make a woman feel good, relaxed and sexy. We are going to be constantly looking at fine-tuning the fit and we'll get it right."

Smith has three children with Simone, his wife of 12 years - son Najee, 18, and daughters Italia, 17, Samaria, 12, and Nina, seven.
