MoS Diary: Beyonce's Back to Black? She'll pay for that, says Amy Winehouse's father


Amy Winehouse's father Mitch has been left unimpressed by the version of her song Back To Black recorded by Beyoncé, left, for new film The Great Gatsby.
‘I don’t think she brings anything to it,’ he said, adding: ‘I wasn’t asked for my permission if they could record it.’
He has now agreed to its use, but said: ‘They have got to pay for the privilege, which is what they are doing. I can’t tell you how much it is but it’s a lot of money.’

Mitch has been working on a follow-up to the hit album Lioness: Hidden Treasures, which was released after Amy’s untimely death at 27 in 2011.
The album will feature some of Amy’s very early work and profits will go towards the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity set up to help youngsters with addiction problems.

‘There is some stuff from when she was younger and we’re negotiating with people about that,’ Mitch told me at the Asian Awards.
The new collection is expected to be released via Island Records with some input from producer Mark Ronson, who worked with Amy.

Meanwhile, BeyoncĂ©’s rapper husband Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – presented her with a diamond-encrusted champagne bottle to celebrate  the first night of her ‘Mrs Carter’ world tour in Serbia last week.
‘He shelled out thousands on having a jeroboam of plush Armand de Brignac champagne sent over to her hotel, with the words “Mrs Carter” emblazoned on it in diamonds,’  says a mole backstage on the mammoth worldwide tour. ‘He went to great  lengths to get it done.’
 

Love is back on the menu for Raymond and Natalia

Back on: Raymond Blanc and partner Natalia Traxel
They split because he wasn’t willing to wed for a third time – but now Raymond Blanc is back with  ex-fiancee Natalia Traxel.
Raymond split from the blonde Russian, 41, after a decade-long romance last August – as he was unwilling to commit again.
But a friend tells me the  63-year-old French chef and Natalia have reunited.
‘Raymond decided to give the relationship another go,’ said the pal.
‘The sticking point with him is marriage. As far as he is concerned he’s already married – to his career.
'Natalia must respect that or find someone else.’
