DIONNE WARWICK ROBBED IN ITALY HOTEL

Singing legend Dionne Warwick has fallen victim to thieves who robbed her of $160,000 worth of jewellery in Italy. The Walk On By star, 67, was being treated by medics for a twisted ankle in Rome when the robbery took place at Hotel De Russie on Monday where she is staying. Robbers made off with two diamond rings, a Rolex watch and a gold necklace among their haul - with the burglary resulting in Warwick being an hour late for her performance in the Italian capital. She told the crowd, "I’m sorry. I was robbed."
