While fellow superstars Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and Britney Spears may lap up the celeb lifestyle, Dido keeps it firmly at arm’s length and still lives in Islington, North London, where she grew up. “I haven’t become a diva. I hate people who are rude to waiters,” she tells The Sun. “And I never buy designer clothes, I still just go to Topshop. I do well on the non-famous front. Sometimes someone will tell me I look just like Dido. I just say, ‘Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment.’ But mostly I’m left alone. Fame doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Success is a fantastic thing and has made my life very exciting. But it has done nothing for me except be a little bit weird. I just love writing songs, that’s what I live for.”

That’s nice…having a successful career out of the spotlight is truly the greatest life to live I believe…away from all the spotlight and glamor…away from the black hole of celebrity…just living life the way you see it…writing songs…becoming hits…becoming flops…and still enjoying life because of it…that’s the way celebrities should live…maybe then life could be more complete without having drugs and stuff make it even less complete than it already is.
or, she’s nowhere near the status and success that they have and doesn’t have the big $$ to live their kind of life style. I didn’t even know who the hell she was before Stan came out and then she had the one-hit ‘Thank You’ for a while.
