Clooney offers Winehouse $1 million

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse will reportedly earn $1 million (£500,000) if she sings at a party thrown by George Clooney and Julia Roberts, reports The Mirror.

The pair are courting Winehouse to perform at the event taking place on May 5 at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute.

"Amy was taken aback when she learned that Clooney and Roberts were after her," an insider revealed.

"She hasn't really taken it in - and keeps saying that her life is getting more surreal by the second."

The request to summon Winehouse reportedly came from fashion impresario Giorgio Armani.

The source added: "Giorgio has made no secret to his friends that he would love to work with Amy. He sees this party as an ideal opportunity to sound her out about future projects together."

The fashion designer hosted a similar event at London's Earls Court last year that featured performances from Beyoncé and Razorlight.

"After the Grammys, it was expected Amy would be in demand. Clooney and Roberts's reps have been phoning her offices and sending dozens of emails to convince her to take part. She's seriously considering their generous offer," the source said.
