JOSS STONE: POOR AS CHURCH MICE WITH INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

So, is Joss Stone a little slow, or just deliberately misunderstanding people who attack Live 8 celebs for happily turning up to flog albums off the back of the starving? In response to the suggestions from Damon Albarn that if the artists are that bothered, they'd channel the cash from the extra album sales into charitable projects, Joss has started pleading poverty:

"Hand on my heart, I'm so far from that (filthy rich) it ain't true.

"Someone needs to tell me where the money is because I cannot find the shit. I mean, I was like 'Please - where the hell is it?'

"I have bought one thing for myself - a white Lexus and it's gorgeous. But that's all I've bought."

Aha. Has Joss had the paperwork about the proportion of the world's population unable to just go out and buy a gorgeous Lexus just like that yet, Bob?
