Elton John sets Sights on WINEHOUSE for Oscar Party

SIR ELTON JOHN has reportedly asked troubled singer AMY WINEHOUSE to perform at his 2009 Academy Awards party to ensure his notorious bash is one of his best ever.
The singer annually hosts a flamboyant gathering after the Oscars to raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and previous performers at his event have included acts like Mary J. Blige and James Blunt.
And John is desperate for Winehouse to be his guest of honour after hailing her as one of the greatest performers he's ever seen.
A source tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, "Elton is aiming to book the best cabaret on the circuit and he's really keen to book Amy."
