WINEHOUSE GETS RAP MAKEOVER FROM JAY-Z

Rapper SHAWN 'JAY-Z' CARTER has reportedly given AMY WINEHOUSE's song REHAB a hip-hop makeover to help the British soul star break into the mainstream American market.

The Def Jam president is said to be a big fan of Winehouse's sultry vocals, and has remixed her single Rehab to make it appeal to a wider audience.

A source says, "Jay-Z told Amy he had some great ideas and when he called her back a few weeks later, she couldn't believe it."

Winehouse, who is nominated for the 2007 Ivor Novello songwriting awards, has already experienced some success in the US with her sophomore album Back To Black entering the Billboard charts at number seven earlier this year (07).
