Hello, it's Friday, January 25, 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update.

Amy Winehouse is spending time in rehab. Her record label says she checked into a treatment facility earlier this week to get help with her drug addiction. The singer has been making headlines recently after a British newspaper posted a video of her allegedly smoking crack. Her label says she hopes to make an appearance at the Grammy Awards next month. She's nominated in six categories.

Heath Ledger and actress Mary-Kate Olsen apparently had a close relationship before he died. One source tells People magazine the two had been dating casually about 3 months before his death. The masseuse who discovered Ledger's body reportedly used the actor's cell phone to call Olsen, knowing the two were close. Police say she called Olsen a total of four times...three of those calls were made before authorities were notified.

John Travolta is being recognized for his involvement in flying. The actor and pilot was honored at the "Living Legends of Aviation" last night in Beverly Hills. Travolta received the Ambassador of Aviation award. He was joined by other legends like Emily Howell-Warner...the first female airline pilot. Also at the event...Barrington Irving who is the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world. Former Astronaut Buzz Aldrin and his wife Lois were at the ceremony as well.

Scarlett Johansson is preparing to release her first album. The actress' debut CD "Anywhere I Lay My Head" will hit the shelves on May 20. Last spring Johansson reportedly spent a few weeks recording several covers of Tom Waits songs as well as one original track for the album. The actress sang on screen in the film "Lost in translation" and also appeared on stage at the Coachella music festival last spring.

Comedian Jimmy Fallon premiered his new film at the Sundance Film Festival yesterday. He stars alongside Tom Arnold in the comedy "The Year of Getting to Know Us." Other cast members like Illeana Douglas and Sharon Stone attended the premiere as well. The film is about a man who reunites with his estranged father. There's now word on when it will be released.

That's all for now. Be sure to check out a new special segment on upi.com called "Homeless With a Family." Thanks for watching, have a great weekend.

    Perhaps its her drug use that allows her to perform so well on stage. She's real anyways, compared to the trash that comes from the States, F**k me.. if i've ever seen a country that needs a nuclear bomb dropped on it so badly, it has to be America, or at least heroin. As DRE said "smoke smack everyday"

    That was a very unflattering shot of Ms Stone. Does UPI lean to the right, by chance?
