The show at London's Royal Albert Hall is being held to raise money for The Prince's Trust.

Some of the world's top fashion designers have paired up with rock and pop stars to showcase their collections.

They include Lily Allen for Chanel, Joss Stone for Calvin Klein, The Gossip's Beth Ditto for Christopher Kane, Iggy Pop for Versace and Dame Shirley Bassey for Marchesa.

Other performers include RnB diva Alicia Keys, US super-producer Timbaland, Razorlight and 80s legend Marc Almond.

Confirmed designers at the star-studded charity night include Armani, Burberry and Stella McCartney.

Big screen beauty Uma Thurman and her Pulp Fiction co-star Samuel L Jackson will add some Hollywood glamour as hosts of the event.



Dethorned roses and real china for Joss - June 22 2007
Devon diva Joss Stone has issued a whopping 11 pages of demands for a festival appearance this weekend.

The soul singer is performing at the Knowsley Hall Music Festival in Liverpool, where she insists that dinner must be served with real china and tablecloths - complete with 16oz cups and 8oz hot cups.

She also requests "12 purple long stemmed de-thorned roses or any purple flowers".

Four of the 11 pages list food and drink demands, that state condiments must include Miracle Whip - an American salad dressing.

Joss, who will be appearing with The Who, The Coral, Keane and The Zutons, will be singing the Liverpool football classic You’ll Never Walk Alone.

But thankfully for the festival organisers, not all her demands are so restrictive. One more liberal section of the rider states: "Feel free to serve regional specialities and be creative."

Perhaps Jess would appreciate the traditional dish Scouse, which is a pot of meat and potatoes. As long as it is served in a real china pot.


Joss labels ex ’disgusting’ - June 14 2007
Joss Stone has apparently had enough of men - and has joked about becoming a lesbian.

"I think I’ll have to turn lesbian," the Daily Mirror quoted her as saying. "Every girl my age wants to be in a relationship. I haven’t had one in two years and look how that ended."

The soul singer also hit out against her ex, Beau Dozier, for exposing secrets of their failed relationship to the world’s press, labelling him "disgusting".

The 20-year-old split from the songwriter/producer - son of Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier - in November 2005 after an 18-month relationship.

She said: "Oh my God, disgusting! Maybe one day I’ll understand why he decided to do that but, right now? It’s beyond my comprehension."

The Devon-born star recently said that her one true love is music.

"I’m driving along in my car and I’m thinking, ’Why am I going through life looking for unconditional love, when it’s music that’s unconditional?’" she said. "It’s always there for me."


Being British drives Joss to drink? - April 12 2007
The move to America and new US twang seemed to be signs that Joss Stone wasn’t too keen on her home country - and now she has blamed her drinking on being a Brit.

The 19-year-old has said that she’s been boozing since her early teens, according to the Sun.
