WHAT SHE SAYS: WHAT THEY SAY:

‘When I’m being bad, I’m really bad! I’m talking cheeseburgers, pizzas, French fries. You know I’m bad.’

‘She manages to appeal to men, women and children. She’s possibly the sexiest woman in the world, and makes fantastic pop music with brilliant producers.’ AIDAN MOFFAT
