R. Kelly is eager to record a duet with Amy Winehouse.

The controversial singer — who was cleared of child porn charges in 2008 — has revealed that he is a big fan of the troubled Grammy winner and would love to put together a track with her.

“Amy Winehouse. ‘Rehab’. I love that song,” Kelly told Metro. “I’d definitely love to work with Amy Winehouse. I love the ‘Rehab’ song. She has balls to do that. I love that. I love that she kept it real and I would love to do a song with her.”

Snoop Dogg and Amy Winehouse smoke too much weed to work together

The British singing sensation teamed up with Snoop to work on two tracks in Los Angeles last year, but the musicians reportedly got so high they couldn’t stop laughing long enough to record anything.

“Amy came to the studio buzzing with ideas and the pair got on really well, even though Snoop turned up in his dressing gown with slippers on, which had Amy giggling,” according to an insider. “They were working at a frenetic pace at first but as the day wore on and more smoke breaks took place, the work rate slackened.”

“By the time their studio time ended they had a pair of tracks sketched out but no finished product.”

Amy Winehouse performs her smash single “Rehab” as part of the 46664 Concert Celebration, honoring the life of Nelson Mandela.

Grammy Awards 2008 fronntrunner Amy Winehouse has been booked to perform at the February 10th ceremony. With any luck, she’ll be leaving her syringe and crack pipe back in the UK.

“Her live performances can either be spectacular or car-crash territory but either way, it’s a gamble organizers are willing to take as she’s such hot property.”

Amy is reportedly planning a Motown medley and considering asking fellow top contender Kanye West to perform with her at the show.

“Amy is really excited to be asked to perform at the Grammys. It’s a huge event.”

“She’s planning to do some sort of soul and Motown medley, and is even weighing up the possibility of a duet with some US stars – particularly Kanye West, who has spoken in the past of wanting to work with her.”

“The only potential problem is that Amy will need a US visa, so she is hoping that her recent arrest won’t cause any problems.”
