Joss Stone thinks she is fat. The slender soul sensation says she is always chastising herself for pigging out - despite being one of the UK's most lusted after pop stars. She revealed to Heat magazine: "I am always saying, 'Oh, I am so fat'." Last year, Joss admitted to using a bottom double for her appearance in a Gap advert - because her own butt wasn't perky enough. The ad featured the sexy teen singing and dancing with a group of pals - complete with lots of shots of her gyrating 'her' shapely behind. But Joss confessed: "All those bum shots? They're not mine. They're other girls. That's not my bum, I promise." Aaah, how can she be fat? Maybe she has been watching Kiebler's latin dancing competition on TV. God forbid Joss-y from following the horrible 'nicole-richie' route to being as slim as a toothpick...

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News reviewed The Strokes concert at Hammerstein Ballroom on Wednesday (March 2nd). Farber writes, "On every level - from the way singer Julian Casablancas delivered his lyrics to the shape and thrust of the band's riffs - the Strokes hacked away at the hip veneer that once encased them to, finally, play with feeling."

Ashlee & Jessy Simpson...there and then.













Keira Knightley as the new face for Chanel? Fresh on the heels of her Oscar nomination for 'Pride & Prejudice,' Keira may have snagged herself a major endorsement deal with Chanel. "The ink isn't even dry yet, but she is going to be a face of Chanel Cosmetics," a source says. "It's for three years." A Chanel rep, however, says there is no deal. Keira Knightley would simply be the perfect spokesperson for the Parisian fashion house and there's no better day than today with all that's she's got going on right now. A rising star to represent that cosmetic company sounds like a good marketing deal.

Check out Nick Lachey's divorce conditions...lol!

The Academy Awards are coming up soon and the usual suspects are already in training for the Oscar parties. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Heather Graham, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen piled into the bash that L.A. club queen Amanda Scheer-Demme and New York club queen Amy Sacco hosted at Teddy's Lounge in the Roosevelt Hotel. Lindsay, who had a frosty face-off with Mischa Barton the other night at the General Motors fashion/auto show, showed only slightly more warmth toward Paris when the hotel heiress sauntered in. That may have had something to do with Lindsay's sitting next to Mary-Kate, who has made no secret of her disdain for Paris after the way Hilton appropriated Olsen's shipping-heir boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos.

Unfazed by the visual knives shot over from the Olsen table, Paris quickly set about making herself the center of attention. She handed the deejay her new CD and told everybody, "It's my song! It's my song!" Soon enough she was on the dance floor with - get this - Rick Salomon and Brandon Davis. Davis, you may remember, is the oil heir who told the National Enquirer that Paris routinely used racist epithets in his presence. Salomon is the ex-boyfriend who humiliated Paris by selling their homemade sex tape. Their current friendliness makes you wonder about Paris' claim that she made no money off the tape. It just shows that even Paris' fiercest foes can become friends again.

Natasha Hamilton hopes that appearing in reality TV singing show 'Just The Two Of Us' as a singing coach will help her land a solo deal. "I have recorded over 30 tracks, some of which are reflective of my life, and I hope my fans will enjoy them," she said. "I plan to showcase the album, and now my profile has been raised on the show I'm hopeful I'll get a release in 2006." Nice.

Girls Aloud visited the 'Neighbours' set during their Aussie trip.

Robbie Williams agreed to let magician Derren Brown skewer his arms with huge needles after being put into a trance-like state so his brain would block out pain for a Channel 4 show, 'Trick Of The Mind', airing on March 26th. "By the end Robbie's looking quite sickened and troubled. But to be fair they were massive needles," Brown said. I guess the hope of reaching 'the road to mandalay' calmness wasn't such a good escapology plan, eh?

Noel Gallagher - live and acoustic sessions.

Gorillaz will incorporate live music and 3D animation when it performs a novel staging of material from its 2005 album, "Demon Days," during an April 2-6 engagement at New York's Apollo Theater.

"The live Gorillaz shows will be a unique cross between live performance and a theme park experience, with the band fully present onstage, rendered in 3 eye-popping dimensions," said a press release.

Franz Ferdinand have revealed that they are reinventing their sound after spending time in Brazil.

We got some great Brazilian musicians in to play on our new song. Can't say more. Get ready to be amazed!" What the.. bossa nova ffire coming up?
