Metro did a 60 second interview with Pixie and here’s a few sample question and answers….it’s a scream!

What was the first record you bought?Probably a Spice Girls single. When I was little I listened to my mum’s music. I sang all the big ballads by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. My speciality was My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. All the divas inspired me.

Have you met any of them?I met Mariah. She had a party in London and I got to meet her. I thought I’d be fine as I’ve met so many people but I shook her hand and started welling up. I had to put my head down. It was so embarrassing but I was overwhelmed, she’d been my idol since I was so young. Then she went to the toilet. She didn’t give me any advice on how to be a pop star.

Do you read gossip websites? I try not to because people make up rubbish about me. Sometimes it’s there and I can’t help but read it. There was a story I was dating Russell Brand, which wasn’t true, and a story saying I was doing tequila shots with Mickey Rourke at his hotel, which wasn’t true either.

Have you had any weird dreams lately? I had a weird one last night. I was robbed at gunpoint. They ran off with my bag, which had all my stuff in it, and I was thinking: ‘Oh no, my mum’s going to kill me.’ Then we got in the car and Alexandra Burke was in there. I was quite disturbed I dreamt about Alexandra Burke, I don’t know where that came from.

If you were a kangaroo what would you keep in your pouch?My best friend, my lipstick and my iPod. I’ve got Bat For Lashes, Jason Mraz, Kings Of Leon, MGMT, Noah And The Whale, John Legend, Air Traffic, Adele and the Goo Goo Dolls on there now. I love that guitary stuff.

So there you go!

Get the rest of the interview at Metro!

Lily Allen is causing a stir in Oz with her latest live performances not only for her musical lyrics but also her choice of stage gear.

The spat between Cheryl Cole and Lily Allen (rumoured or not) goes on and apparently when she is on tour with her bandmates she does  some Cheryl Cole impersonations to pass the time backstage, according to Example a UK rapper who toured with Lily last year who said “They’re really good impressions”. What does Cheryl Cole have to say all about this, a few weeks ago according to the media she called Lily Allen a “Little Girl” for continuing to take the mick out of her. The Allen-Cole spat continues!

Serena Williams and the 2010 Australian Open Current Odds to win title!

Who’s going to win the Women’s Australian Open. We are still in the early stages of this event with games building up to the peak of the quarter and semi finals which is a way off yet but the big names are starting to fall with Maria Sharapova at the first hurdle and recently Ana Ivanovic has had to admit defeat. So what are the odds and who are the favourites?

William Hill the bookmakers has information on who they think has the best chance of winning and they know their stuff. It’s very close between Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin the two comeback queens from Belgium who are currently on form and burning up the court….we are inclined to agree. Her sister Venus is currently way lower in the odds based on current form but this is still very early in the season. Bad news for Ana Ivanovic who is now out of the Tournament after her loss 0f 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-4 today to  Argentina’s Gisela Dulko….. photo of her after the match below.

Keira Knightley’s new secret abode a “Canal Barge”!

The secrets out, its hitting all the papers, but Keira Knightley has got a secret hide away in the East End of London and it’s a River Boat moored on an East London canal!

Keira Knightley holds onto her boyfriend Ruper Friend as the leave J Sheekey restaurant in London

 Monday January 11, 2010. Keira Knightley holds onto her boyfriend Rupert Friend while leaving J Sheekey restaurant in London. Both Keira and Rupert are appearing in separate theater productions in the west end. Photograph: Focus Pictures, PacificCoastNews.com 

She’s apparently been renting with her fella Rupert Friend since the beginning of this year and by all accounts they are both enjoying life on the water even this time of year.

A local had this to say to The Sun “They’ve hired the boat until the summer and they seem really happy. They spend most weekends on it brewing up cups of tea!” They added “They’re a very sweet couple. They like nothing better than to stroll along the canal hand in hand and going to the chippy for a fish supper”

Both Keira and Ruper are starring in West End Theatre Productions with Keira currently in “The Misanthrope” at the Comedy Theatre and Rupert is starring at the Garrick Theatre.

This idyllic scenario will not be lasting for much longer though as Keira will be off to the US in a months time to promote her new film called “Last Night”. The next Pirates of the Caribbean is also on the cards which she is set to star in and this will be on the production move later this year.

According to The Sun the boat is called “The Black Pearl” for those who are interested but there’s a lot of canal in East London and we think this could be one of those boats moored on “the other bank” where it’s exclusive access only! Either way……… Happy Hunting!
