The latest trend amongst celebrities is not to sport an expensive christian dior bag on their arm, but to have the smallest, cutest, pampered pooch not far from their side. Especially for you celebrity and animal lovers, here is a selection of celebrities with their ‘babies’.

British soul singer Joss Stone (she’s the one with the fake American accent if you didn’t know) has turned out to be a nutter.

Being asked to be the god-mother to your half-brother’s son should be a nice thing. But when Joss upset relatives by turning up 30 minutes late to the baptism, things started to get out if hand when her half-brother Daniel Skillin confronted her.

A guest said: “She was absolutely furious when Daniel confronted her and they had a full-blown argument. They were screaming at each other and, the next thing, she headbutted him.

“Other family members ran over to break it off and she stormed off. It turned from a nice family affair into a brawl between Joss and her brother. No one could believe it.”

Joss used the classic excuse for her lateness: ‘the traffic was bad’.

The 21-year-old star then stirred it up some more when she failed to read the order of service properly and accused elderly family members as being “old biddies” when they confronted her.

The source added: “You would think as the kid’s godmother she’d be on time.

“As she recited the order of service she failed to read what she had been given. It showed a lack of respect. The priest had to remind her of her responsibilities as a godparent. It was embarrassing to see her mumble the wrong words.

“A couple of relatives were not happy and told her so afterwards, but Joss said she wouldn’t take abuse of a bunch of old biddies,” the source added

Friends of Joss have played down the whole incident.

One source claimed she had just “tapped” Daniel, adding: “Joss had been looking forward to the baptism. No one seemed bothered she was a little late but a few people from Daniel’s side said something.

“At Daniel’s house she got a bit of criticism and eventually blasted them. But she didn’t want trouble and when things got heated she left. She was really upset.”

A UK newspaper claims that British singer Joss Stone is currently dating US rapper Nelly – who at 33 is 12 years older than Joss. Joss is reportedly smitten with the ‘Work It’ rapper, and has been on a few secret dates with him.

A source revealed: “Joss and Nelly have been out on a few dates. It’s early days but Joss is really happy. It’s great that she has met someone as successful as she is and who understands the pressures of being a performer.” Joss, 21, is reducing her hectic work schedule this year to have more spare time to herself, and with Nelly.

“Her life has been like a whirlwind since she shot to fame at 14. Joss is determined to devote more time to herself, and if a little romance enters her life along the way who can blame her,” continued the source. 

Earlier this year – in a girl can’t find love response – the singer insisted she “hated men”, because they were incapable of treating her well. She said: “I’ve had kind of bad luck with boys, they just don’t tend to be too kind to me. I don’t know why, maybe it’s something I do?”

Last year, Joss joked her luck with men was so bad she was considering becoming a lesbian: “Every girl my age wants to be in a relationship, but I haven’t had one for two years. I think I’ll have to turn lesbian.”
