Winehouse to move in with the Osbournes?
Amy Winehouse will reportedly move into best friend Kelly Osbourne's family home when she leaves rehab.
Now magazine reports that the singer, 24, is planning to stay at a guest cottage in the grounds of the Osbournes' mansion in Chalfont St Peter, Bucks.
Osbourne and father Ozzy, 59, believe the retreat will help Winehouse's recovery.
"Kelly has always been there for Amy, they are very tight," a source told the Daily Mirror. "When Amy went into rehab, it was Kelly who picked out clothes to take in from her East End flat.
"She's patient, she has been there before with her dad and knew this time would come.
"Kelly is probably the most qualified of her pals to help look after Amy - she's certainly a better influence than Pete Doherty."
Osbourne is not the only one willing to help Winehouse. Film bosses have reportedly agreed to let her write and sing the new James Bond theme for Quantum of Solace, if she stays off drugs.
"If Amy is clean then, it's hers," a source told The Sun. "It will have a dark and moody feel so Amy would be absolutely perfect. It's another fantastic carrot being dangled to encourage her to give up drugs."

Spielberg leaves his Olympics post
Oscar-winning film director Steven Spielberg has said he is withdrawing as an artistic advisor to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing because of the Chinese government's policy towards its ally Sudan and the conflict in Darfur.
In a statement, Spielberg said the Sudanese government shouldered the bulk of responsibility for the crimes in Darfur, but said China should be doing more to end the human suffering there.
Actress Mia Farrow, who had been pressing the director to end his involvement with this year's games, said his decision sent the right sort of message to Beijing.
A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington is quoted in the New York Times as saying that the Darfur issue was neither an internal issue for China nor was it caused by China.
The spokesman is also quoted as saying that it was completely unreasonable, irresponsible and unfair to link the two as one.
