• Mandy Moore has admitted she is embarrassed by her earlier work and doesn’t think she’s particularly talented as either a singer or an actress. Speaking to Elle magazine recently, she said: “I’m mediocre at both. I’m not trying to come across as self-deprecating. I’m just being honest… I’m sure other people look back on things they did when they were 15 and go, ‘Oh, god.’ That’s how I feel about it. It’s so embarrassing.”
  • Joss Stone has said while she’s not an angel, she’s not turning into a party animal because she doesn’t want her behaviour to ruin her music career. She said recently: “Sometimes I smoke, sometimes I drink. But I don’t go on binges. I’m not a genuine bad girl. I don’t want to ruin my voice. But when I’m home in England, I have a beer and a smoke. Sometimes I even smoke weed.”
  • Petra Nemcova has revealed she’s loving being single after splitting from James Blunt last month. Petra, who has been spotted at various Hollywood nightspots and events over the last few weeks, said she’s “having a great time” since breaking up with the British singer.
