We all know that
Joss Stone is an overly ingratiating, sycophantic accent whore who's willing to sell her soul to the highest bidding corporation in order to shift chocolate bars, but we didn't realise what she was prepared to do to
secure a top producer.
Mark Ronson, he of the horns, apparently gives the other sort of horn to a lot of lady singers, but is sparing in his favours, or so he claims.
Ronson told an interviewer: "I'm not the sort of producer that shags every artist he works with. I've had enough offers, but I'm very picky."
And who has he had these offers off?
"I've said no to a very famous, white, bland and very boring English soul chick, who shall remain unnamed."
AMAZING. If he'd left it at that it would have been perhaps the most obvious blind item in the world ever, but he didn't. Not content with a clue that should have made it obvious to anyone with even a passing knowledge of music and celebrity culture, he thought he better name her too... as Joss Stone.
Someone give that man a slap on the back to go with all those Grammys. Not only did he tell Joss Stone where to go, he had the decency to let everyone know what sort of a human being she is too.
Oh yes, come to think of it, we did know what she was prepared to do
to secure a top producer after all...
