MARK RONSON SHOCKED BY AMY WINEHOUSE

Music man Mark Ronson is very shocked by the huge success of troubled singer Amy Winehouse's hit song Rehab, as he never expected the song to do so well. The 2006 song has garnered international critical acclaim, winning Winehouse three Grammy awards and an Ivor Novello prize for her songwriting. And Ronson, who produced the track for Winehouse’s LP Back to Black, had no idea Rehab would become such a phenomenon. He says, "Doing Back to Black with Amy, we felt no pressure at all to come up with hits. We were in our own bubble, just making music we liked. "So while I knew it was good, I had no idea why her A&R guy saw dollar signs the very instant we first played him Rehab."

AMY WINEHOUSE DID RECORD JAMES BOND

Amy Winehouse

Rehab singer Amy Winehouse is working on a theme song for the new James Bond film, according to music producer Mark Ronson. Last month the star’s spokesman denied claims she was secretly writing the track for the movie. But Ronson insists the pair has recorded a song and hopes it will be used for the upcoming epic, Quantum Of Solace. He says, "They asked Amy, and I think Amy said that if she did it, she’d want to do it with me. So hopefully something will come of it. "The demo sounds like a James Bond theme, hopefully. But I don’t know if it’ll get used." "I’m sure there are loads more really famous people that probably we’re competing with and we don’t know about. But hopefully I’ll still be alive for at least 12 more Bond themes. If we don’t get this one maybe we’ll get another one."

AMY WINEHOUSE REPORTS BEING DENIED

Mark Ronson is denying reports he was spending the night in a hotel room with Rehab singer Any Winehouse. Ronson, who produced Winehouse’s last album Back To Black, was accused of romancing the star after the pair were reported to have stayed at the K West Hotel in London together on Friday night after an alcohol-fuelled recording session. However, the 32-year-old has denied the rumors that they are having an affair, insisting the pair are just friends. He says, "We were pictured together at the weekend but we didn’t spend the night together and we weren’t even working in the studio. "We were just running around London, hanging out, going to a house party. I went to her house for a bit and she played me some new songs and then we went out." Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently being held on remand at London’s Pentonville Prison on charges of perverting the course of justice, was said to be furious at reports his wife had spent the night with Ronson.
