NON MERCY

We're holding out hope that Duffy might turn out to be an entertaining pop star, after what she got up to at the MOJO awards the other night. The Welsh singer thought it would be a good idea to sneak up behind John Lydon while he was doing an interview backstage and give him a surprise hug. That's surely like putting on a meat suit and jumping into the tiger enclosure?

Sex Pistols singer Lydon is getting the blame for making the young singer cry, but it's hardly as if he was acting out of character.

After she tried her surprise hug, Lydon screamed: "You never do that to me!"

At which point, Duffy apparently burst into tears and left the party.

A source told The Sun: "Duffy was completely shocked by Johnny's outburst.

"She just wanted to give him a hug and introduce herself. She was really shaken and upset and went home immediately in tears."

But what the fuck was she thinking? Earlier in the evening Lydon had told the crowd:  "You're all cowards. Look around you. Look at what Britain is becoming.

"You can't drink, you can't smoke. All I see in this room is just a bunch of mellow p****-wipes."

(BTW, anyone know what 'p****-wipes' is? Prick? Penis? Pisss?)

Did Duffy really think after that rant that her brand of middle-of-the-road derivative soul would be the thing to turn the gnarly old punk?

She's bonkers, clearly.
