According to U.K. magazine Female First, troubled singer Amy Winehouse was handpicked by actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts to perform at the Costume Institute Gala Benefit for New York's Metropolian Museum of Art on May 5.

Winehosue was reportedly offered £500,000 for the gig, which Clooney and Roberts are co-chairing.

"Amy was taken aback when she learned that Goerge Clooney and Julia Roberts were after her," a source told Female First. "Their representatives have been phoning her offices and sending dozens of emails to convince her to take part. She's seriously considering their generous offer.

"She hasn't really taken it in – and keeps saying that her life is getting more surreal by the second."

Um, Amy, that's the drugs talkin'.

According to the magazine, the event is being hosted by fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who hopes to work with Winehouse in the near future. "Girogio has made no secret to his friends that he would love to work with Amy," the source continued. "He sees this party as an ideal opportunity to sound her out about future projects together."
