I'm not sure how desirable it would be to sign to a record company run by Amy Winehouse who is, I think it's fair to say, a bit erratic at best. But Amy is setting up her own label - Lioness - and plans to use it to release a debut album from her thirteen year old goddaughter Dionne Bromfield.
According to reports, Winehouse has put aside a million pounds to launch her label, and has already spent £15,000 to put Bromfield through a month-long singing course in LA.
Amy herself may appear on some of Bromfield's tracks - which will please Island Records I'm sure, given they are still desperately waiting for Winehouse to appear on some of her own new tracks - while it's rumoured Lady Gaga, Lemar and 'X Factor' finalist Eoghan Quigg may also guest, the latter possibly because Winehouse has apparently consulted Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh on how best to launch her goddaughter's pop career.
I don't know how much of this is really true, though the News Of The World quote Bromfield thus: "I had a lot of record companies wanting to sign me but I didn't know where to go. So for Amy to set up this record company and make me her first signing means so much".
