A WOMAN ON THE EDGE

Wow! That crazy Katie Melua, the hardest-rocking woman in the music business, is back to tell it like it is, and she's taking no prisoners. The hard-hitting singer has confessed to hordes of crying fans that she's a bit of a bad girl (like we didn't know that already, you on-the-edge mutha!) and she has a criminal past to go along with her in-your-face attitude.

She's bad, she's out there and she just doesn't care. Hey, society! Try to tame this tiger and you'll get bitten and bitten bad! So stand back as Katie gives the finger to The Man and glories in her rebellious past.

"I used to have friends that used to nick things. I might have partaken a little."

Yeah, you heard it. She stole something. When she was 13. OK, it was only some lip-gloss and she says that ever since she has "deeply regretted" her actions. Yes, perhaps a pair of tweezers for that incredible eyebrow foliage might have been a better idea, if we're talking about raiding the shelves of Superdrug.

Seriously, what sort of example does this set? Next she'll be confessing to having a sly cig behind the bus stop and staying out late on a school night, the crazy mixed-up rocker!

At last we may have found the natural heir to Hendrix and Moon. Next week: James Morrison admits that he eats children.
