Meow!

Joss Stone must be in some need to promote her latest shiteous album, because she's taken to insulting Lily Allen publicly.

According to Joss, Lily's making a big stink about people illegally downloading music because she's not a real singer. Seriously.

Says Stone:

"She needs to sell records because she's not a singer, and that's not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too. I think she's a performer and she's more of a personality than she is a singer. But I think when musicians are really making real music people come to the show and that's what we make our money from, from playing live.

I think it's probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts. It's really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that's how they make their money is selling those records.

So the downloads - she's not going to win that fight. None of us will win that fight. So let's just accept it and let's see it as something that can be beautiful and it might change music for the better. It might sort the weeds from the flowers."

Ouch!!!

No word yet for Lushy Lilly.

We're not surprised!

Joss Stone enlightened us all with the best way to listen to a new album including her own:

"I would say run a bath, roll a spliff, and have a listen. That's what I would do. I do that with every one of my favorite albums. That's how I listen to it first."

You heard it straight from the horse's mouth - you need to be under the influence to enjoy her music!

Did Joss Stone's passive-aggressive attack on her label, EMI, backfire????

The fucks-for-tracks singer's original cover for her latest album, Colour Me Free, featured Stone contorted behind prison bars - what we interpret as a jab at EMI for not releasing Stone from her contract.

But EMI has drawn up a new cover for the album!

The all-text cover of Colour Me Free is the album art featured both in the iTunes store and at Joss' exclusive retailer, Target!

What's up with the switch????

Reps for Stone say the singer recognizes the original artwork as her album cover, but the big wigs at EMI are saying Joss "agreed to the [new] album cover selection."

Who's telling the truth????

And which album cover do U like more?

How very George Michael of her!

Joss Stone is dying to be released from her record contract with EMI!

So much so that the fucks-for-tracks singer is willing to cough up almost $4 million of her own money to her label!

EMI have shot down Stone's deal and in return are threatening legal action against the Brit songstress. The label claims Joss is in breach of contract because she never handed over the master tapes for her new album, Colour Me Free, by the December 2008 deadline.

For shame!

Stone believes that EMI would not promote her album properly and wants to buy it back and release Colour Me Free on her own accord. The label was bought out by a private equity firm back in 2007 and promptly slashed the label's budget because of lagging album sales.

"Joss has completely lost faith in EMI. It’s all pie charts and products and there’s no creativity. She has no working relationship with them and no confidence they will support her or market her album properly," a friend of Stone's shared with the media.

The source continued: "She’s actually prepared to pay £2million for her freedom – that’s how bad it is. She wants to give back this money from her advance to EMI so that she can get out of the deal. Then she’ll release the album some other way."

Good luck with that!

What's even left of Joss Stone's career???

Stone is set to perform in the southeast English town of Dover - in a town hall primarily used for birthday parties!!

Serves ya right, sweetie!

The town hall, which holds 500 people, is hosting the soul singer's performance this week.

"The venue in Dover is not grand - it also hosts things such as birthday parties and conferences - but Joss still loves getting out there and showing what she can do," Stone's friend defended to reporters.

What can you do, Joss?

"Fuck for tracks," perhaps?

This is the funniest thing we've heard all day!

Joss Stone was interviewed on Arizona's John Jay & Rich radio show on Tuesday morning.

The British soul singer was supposed to be talking about voting but the interview took a sharp turn and….

Just listen!

It brings the LOLs - big time!

We found the first major flaw for presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

He's apparently a Joss Stone fan!

According to reports, Obama has asked 21 year-old Stone to record a track to use as the theme to his election campaign.

It seems Obama personally asked Stone as he was impressed by her appeal to both white and black voters in America.

So what about the other races?

And who really likes Stone anyway?

According to a source, most likely on Stone's payroll, word is “Joss is a big supporter of Barack Obama and was very excited to be asked to do this for him. He sent a personal message asking her to get on board."

The source adds, "He has always admired her music and thinks she is the perfect choice because of her unique appeal to black and white voters. She believes he is going to be the first black American president and she is honoured to be a part of that.”

Obama's also been supported by hip hop artists like Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, both of which have dedicated songs to him.

So why didn't he pick Alicia? At least that would have been a good choice.

We're still a bit confused by Obama's choice. Hopefully this is a fake story that Joss orher camp perpetuated!!!

Lightening might be striking someone in England soon!

British trainwreck Joss Stone reportedly headbutted her own brother at a baptism!

What's the beef????

Joss was to be godmother to her bro's year-old son but angered her family by arriving 30 minutes late.

She then refused to properly read some church stuff and when confronted by elderly relatives she called them "old biddies".

Ha!

When her bro called her out on her obnoxious behavior, the will-eff-for-tracks singer turned violent!

One guest revealed to the Daily Mirror, "She was absolutely furious and they had a full-blown argument. They were screaming at each other and the next thing, Joss headbutted him. Other family members ran over to break it up and she stormed off. It turned from a nice family affair into a brawl between Joss and her brother. No one could believe it."

Another guest reported that Joss blamed traffic for being late, but went on to say, "You would think as the kid's godmother she'd be on time. And as she recited the order of service, she failed to read what she was given. It showed lack of respect to the family."

Crazy! Is she taking her money troubs frustration out on her fam?
