IT MIGHT NOT BE FROWNED UPON IN DEVON...

Having fled her native Devon for a life of making Gap commercials in California, Joss Stone could be about to run into a problem: there's quite a push from the meddling conservatives who run the US to have her boyfriend, Beau 'son of Lamont' Dozier charged with statutory rape, on the grounds that while Joss is barely, but still, legal in Tiverton, at 17 years old, she's still below the age of consent in California. The mutterings are also causing a fit of the vapours in the Gap offices, who are now thinking about dropping her from the forthcoming campaigns. Sure, with Sarah Jessica Parker you had to spend a fortune on the post-production touch-ups, but at least nobody was ever going to confuse her with Lolita.
