Ex releases book - July 05
It seems poor Charlotte’s ex isn’t finished with her yet...Steven Johnson is releasing a book revealing yet more intimate details about their relationship. Is there anything he hasn’t spilled already? Steven’s father George said: "It’s very good - the Church family will be left holding their heads. Steven is the angel, not Charlotte."
Right...As ’angel’ is usually the description we give to kiss-and-tell-all love rats huh? The book, titled Hell’s Angel, will be released in September. Charlotte, get your hunky rugby player boyf to have a word.
Just say no - May 05
Charlotte Church has hit out at ridiculous drug rumours. The young singer has laughed off tabloid reports that she was seen smoking cannabis in public, saying that she was in fact smoking a cigarette. "There have been ridiculous tabloid rumours," she explained to Glamour magazine in a lengthy interview "my favourite one was when a tabloid tried to make out I was smoking a spliff in this picture when it was actually a Berkeley menthol." She also laughed off the rumours that she is to sing at Jordan’s wedding.
Crazy chick - May 05
Charlotte Church’s new single is to be released June 20. The single, Crazy Chick was played for the first time during Radio 1’s chart show and was met with a good reception. The single, which comes from her new album Tissues and Issues, is of course a complete departure for Charlotte and has a Motown feel to it. However Charlotte told DJs JK and Joel that she was prepared to go back to opera if her mainstream pop career didn’t take off - we don’t think you’ll have too many worries Charlotte!
On the rocks - Apr 05
Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are arguing already. It looks like the honeymoon is already over for the Welsh couple as, according to the Sunday Mirror, they have had a series of bust ups over Gavin’s partying ways. According to sources close to the pair Charlotte was furious when Gavin insisted on going out when she fancied a quiet night in and he retaliated by following Natalie Imbruglia around during a trip to Isis in London, where the Aussie songstress was performing. Onlookers saw Gavin plead with the organisers to let him backstage, moaning "Just take me to her, I have to meet her. I want to swap phone numbers with her." Oh dear.
Charlotte is depressed - Apr 05
Charlotte Church’s mother has revealed that the singer is depressed. Maria can never resist spilling the beans, especially if it means she can say ’told her so’ and, yet again, she has opened the door on her daughter’s private life. "It got to the stage a month ago where it was really getting her down," she said of Charlotte’s depression. She also lifted the lid on the singer’s relationships saying of the recent kiss and tells from ex boyfriends, "she wouldn’t listen. I knew it was going to happen." Well, no doubt that public revelation will cheer the poor girl up no end.

Five years later and Charlotte was making a name for herself at local karaoke competitions, and then...
"I was watching the Richard and Judy show on TV and they said they were looking for talented kids. No-one was around so I phoned up," she says. "The producers said I had to sing down the phone. So I did ’Pie Jesu’ and that was it, I was invited on the show. Mum and Dad were the last to find out!"
This led to even more television performances, as well as high profile concerts at the London Palladium, the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff Arms Park. "It all went a bit mad!" laughs Charlotte.
Now eighteen Charlotte has become a media icon. A ill advised relationship with ’model’ and all round bad boy Steven Johnson and on going arguments with her mother have put Charlotte very much under public scrutiny, but it has only made her more popular. Charlotte will turn her hand to anything these days, she presented Have I Got News For You? made a guest appearance on a dance track and even starred in a film, I’ll Be There. She is a chat show regular, openly voicing her opinions about fellow stars in a very down to earth way.
She may be one of the richest teenagers in the UK after coming into her fortune on her eighteenth but Charlotte Church is as normal as they come.
