Joss Stone has landed her first movie role - Oct 05
The teenage soul singer will make her acting debut alongside soccer star David Beckham in the upcoming sequel to football film ’Goal!’. The blonde beauty will play a femme fatale who tries to steal the leading man, played by Mexican heartthrob Kuno Becker, from his long-term girlfriend, played by Anna Friel.
An insider revealed to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "Joss is really pleased they’ve decided to go for her, even though she’s not a trained actress. "The role is kind of different to the way most people see her, as she’s going to have to play a bit of a bitch - that’s what she’s looking forward to most!"
Although the role may include some steamy scenes, Joss recently slammed female stars who pose semi-naked for magazines.
The soul sensation - who has refused several offers to strip for men’s magazines - says ambitious celebrities who appear topless or in bikini’s in steamy photo shoots are "disgusting" and are demeaning themselves. She said: "It’s disgusting the way these girls prance around in their
knickers on the cover of FHM. I can understand it if you’re a model, but if you’re a singer it undermines everything and suggests you’re actually rubbish at what you do".
Joss was saved from being shot by supernatural vibes - Sept 05
Joss Stone claims she was saved from being shot by supernatural vibes. The teenage singer has revealed she narrowly avoided being caught up the recent gunfire after the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, where rap mogul Suge Knight was shot. Joss had been sitting near the hip-hop star with her boyfriend, Beau Dozier, when a sixth sense told her to leave. She revealed to America’s New York Daily News newspaper: "I left a few minutes before it happened. I was with my boyfriend and I told him, ’I’ve got to get out of here now. I have a bad feeling.’"
This is not the first time Joss has admitted to believing in superstition. She recently credited her superstitious dad with helping her become such a successful singer. Joss explained: "My dad told me to write down anything that you want in life, no matter how stupid it is, how ridiculous it is, and fold it up and put it behind a picture of somebody that you love. And it’s kind of working."
Joss Stone marries her boyfriend - Aug 05
Joss Stone is set to marry her boyfriend Beau Dozier. Friends say the 18-year-old soul singer has got engaged after proposing to the American musician, whose father is legendary Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier. However, the smitten couple aren’t planning to get married for another two years - because Joss wants to wait until she’s 20.
A source is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star on Sunday as saying: "It was only a matter of time before they got engaged. They’re so in love and there has been quite a lot of talk about it recently." Joss recently confessed she wanted to marry Beau, who she met after he wrote songs for her first album when she was just 16. The singer says she knew she wanted to walk down the aisle with him when he wrote a romantic line for her song ’Spoiled’. She revealed: "It was, ’I’ve never seen the word love so personified as I do with you.’ I’m like, ’I’m marrying that man right now.’ Like, wow! Such beautiful lyrics."
