Ryan mouths off about White

Ryan Adams criticises Jack White in an NME interview, claiming he turned down a role in 'Cold Mountain' that White later took, while White has yet to respond.

In the latest pop feud Ryan Adams has been mouthing off to the NME about the White Stripe’s Jack White. It’s not the first time Adams has hit out at White – the feud apparently starting after White complained that Adams changed some of his lyrics when he covered White Stripes songs at a live show.

"Did Little girl White talk back?" Adams asked, referring to his earlier jibes. "I don't have a problem with him - he started it. I know that's what you say in school. But what's he doing on the internet … saying 'I see you changed my lyrics', Fucking ponce."

Adams then claimed that he had turned down the part in forthcoming movie ‘Cold Mountain’ that was given to White. “You know they asked me if I wanted that movie role and I turned it down. Anthony Minghella asked me first. I was up for the part first and I turned it down. You know why? Because I didn't see acting anywhere on my job application to be a rock fucking star, you know. It's true. That's fucking fact."

Mr White is yet to respond.
