Filming has begun for the final season of The Tudors with the rest of the cast in Dublin, Ireland. The shoot is scheduled to last 6 months, at it isn’t clear when Joss will be shooting her scenes.

Joss has a summer schedule with gigs and festivals to keep her busy. I truly hope the label situation sorts itself out, and in a hurry. We’d all like to hear that new album!

Seeing as how her label is basically holding her and Colour Me Free hostage, late summer seems like it would be as good a time as any for the shoot.

I took some time last night to update Joss’ tour schedule page. She listed some gigs on her official website, so I added those after finding more show details. I also found a few others that weren’t listed there. If you live in Europe, there’s a good chance Joss will be performing somewhere near you!

Singer Joss Stone is ready to forfeit £2million in a desperate bid to quit her record label EMI.

She claims they have ‘no working relationship’ and has even recorded a song called Free Me about her wish to escape.

The 22-year-old told EMI she wanted to leave in January and insiders say she is willing to give up £1.2million from a £7.5million advance she was given in 2006.

Joss, a Grammy Award winner who has sold 11million albums worldwide, is also prepared to give up £800,000 due for Colour Me Free. Read the rest… »
