Former British spy chief to give evidence at Diana inquest
A former head of MI6 will give evidence at the inquest into the death of Diana, princess of Wales, the government said Monday. Sir Richard Dearlove, the former chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), will give evidence on February 20, the Foreign Office said in a statement. The inquest is looking into the deaths of Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who were killed along with their chauffeur Henri Paul in a car crash in a Paris underpass in August 1997. Mohamed Al Fayed, Dodi's father, alleges that his son and Diana were killed in a British establishment plot carried out by MI6 to stop her from marrying a Muslim.

Valerie Gooding also told Sky's Jeff Randall that the economic downturn has not swayed Britons away from private healthcare.

Amy Winehouse puts rehab in spotlight
Rehab has never been hotter in Hollywood, and nowhere was that more apparent than on Sunday at the Grammy awards with singer Amy Winehouse's five big wins, more than any other artist. After months of headlines about drug and alcohol treatment for troubled Hollywood stars like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, soul singer Winehouse became the latest celebrity to shake-off the stigma of rehab and look like a winner.
