Joss Stone's Jared Leto Crush Continues Her Downward Spiral

Joss Stone

British soul singer Joss Stone may have once been crowned the sexiest vegetarian of the year, but there's nothing sexy about her latest crush.

Stone admitted to an American television show that she has a huge crush on 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto.

"I think he's simply gorgeous, so sexy," Stone gushed. "He would be my ideal date."

Naturally, in true arrogant Leto style, he said that he's never heard of the chart-topping singer and told friends that he has no idea who she is.

This is the latest piece of damaging gossip to be revealed about Stone, who has recently come under fire for her brazen behaviour and wild antics both on and off stage.

Just before this shred of information hit the gossip columns, pictures of Stone in a short skirt — possibly without any underwear — popped up online. This was after she told Q magazine, "I would never wear a short skirt with no knickers because that would be silly. If you do that it's basically like saying you're a slut. And I'm not."

This last statement comes as a bit of a shock since producer Dallas Austin (Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pink) warned Stone in an interview with Rowdy TV to stop "fucking for tracks." Austin claims the 19-year-old Brit-born singer sleeps around to get artists on her album. She's reported to be currently dating Raphael Saadiq, one of the producers she worked with on her new album, Introducing Joss Stone.

Stone's diva-like behaviour, including showing up two hours late for a gig and giving an impromptu press conference to a group of security guards she mistook for reporters, have close friends and family members concerned. Sources close to the self-confessed dope fiend think that her split from longtime producer-boyfriend Beau Dozier 18 months ago, and her lonely living situation in the U.S., may be the reason for her Lindsay Lohan-like actions.
