Stone, paper, wankers

Joss Stone has told MTV she is not surprised by British press criticism of her Brits appearance, saying the tabloids build artists up only to knock them down.

Joss Stone has said what she thinks of British papers and what they said about her after her appearance at the Brits. You remember, they were saying she was drunk, and stuff, and criticising her accent. She told MTV that the media reaction didn't shock her because she's used to it. "In a way I wasn't surprised," she said. "I've learnt that the Wanker newspapers don't build you up to be nice they do it to knock you down so there's nothing I can do. They [the record label] said don't do anything in the UK because everybody hates you. I wasn't allowed to speak but I'm totally not shutting up any time soon - I never have and never will".
