John Earls of News of the World chose VV Brown as the #1 artist to watch in 2009, talking to the singer about her musician ex boyfriend, how her songs were too personal for others to sing, and modeling for Naomi Campbell in September at a charity event after she met the supermodel’s agent on a plane. “I was worried Naomi was going to copy my hairstyle,” joked VV, who sports a ’50s-style flat-top haircut. “She asked me all about it. As soon as she left the room, I told my hairdresser ‘Don’t you dare tell her how it’s done, I don’t want Naomi Campbell copying my look.’ Well, everyone would think I’d nicked it from her, not the other way round!”

The entire story at newsoftheworld.co.uk has since been removed.

Meanwhile, perhaps in response to the News of the World interview or another, VV sounded off on being victim of a fabricated remark. She writes on her MySpace blog:

I’m quite new to the whole interview game and am such a chatter box I generally pour it all out… but now I’m getting a bit weary cause I read something today that was completely made up. I’m might close up a bit. Don’t always believe what you read. They really do make things up sometimes…. x Like out of nowhere! Not all journalists but some…. and it’s crazy cause people will genuinely believe that what u said is true. Sometimes it looks real bitchy or big headed and they have worded it differently to how you said it or completely made it up..! From absolutely nowhere! So please…. don’t always believe what u read xx

VV Brown updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (December 10). The London based retro pop singer tells readers:

Had a great day today. Did a photoshoot for POP magazine! Amazing clothes and photographer! Lovely people and really creative shoot! Always wanted to do a shoot like this. Also been in the studio writing away and have written 5 new songs. The album is finished but I always like to write so you write about reality rather than trying to create emotions and reality. I’m tempted to put one of them I wrote today on the album… really excited about the songs today!!!

VV Brown checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (December 7), as the British retro pop artist prepares to record a video for the first release on her upcoming debut album ‘Travelling Like The Light’ (or at least she says first, maybe ‘Crying Blood’ won’t be on the album?).

VV Brown checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Saturday (November 29) after wrapping up her UK tour with Ida Maria and BirdPen. The British pop singer tells readers:

It’s so sad that we have come to the end of the tour!!! It was amazing and the bands we were on tour with were the best!!! I love Ida and BirdPen. We knew all the songs by the end, especially BirdPen. We are there biggest fans!!! So its all great!!! We ended at the Scala in London. I always wanted to perform at the famous Scala! It was awesome! It was nice to see some of the guys from the Africa Express trip as well, appreciate it Damon Steve and Ian.., xx and we went to a party afterwards which was???? : 0

So yes it was brilliant and I’m sad its over. We will be touring again soon though and I think it’s been a real success. We had great reviews from the Independent and the Guardian and generally it’s been so much fun. We have mooned, streaked, poured water on strangers, drank alcohol, planted granny porn in musicians cases and generally done lots of mischievous things to make the time more fun!!

VV Brown checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (November 21). The British singer tells readers:

It hurts sometimes when people assume that I’m some fake puppet by a record company and that my story is fake and made up. What is credibility? I really take to heart what people say and I hate that part of my personality.

I put my sweat and tears into this record and when people don’t know where you’ve come from and they say it’s fake it makes me real angry, especially when you go through a whole lot of sh**…. I just wanna make music and I know you can’t please everyone but it pisses me off. People just see a video or an article…. I’ll stop moaning but I’m so stuck on wanted to keep my artist credibility… and it hurts when people question it….. : (

Sometimes I feel like people want you to bleed before they recognize honesty and I can see why artists can get fu**ed up….

VV Brown updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (November 11) after earlier performing a pair of showcases at the Soho Revue Bar in London, England. The British pop singer tells readers:

In the afternoon we did a showcase for media and radio which was nervy because its a different vibe when you perform to press. I feed of energy and it was a little weird and different but overall cool.

We then did a showcase in the evening which was sold out and was amazing!!! I had so much fun!

Thank you guys for coming! It was such an amazing gig and the energy was electric… x

My first sold out gig. I’ve been so use to empty rooms and being the under dog support act shunned to the toilets… It was a nice feeling to do a headline and people actually turned up. Overwhelming…

VV Brown updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (October 23). The British pop singer tells readers:

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I didn’t really use my lap top much in Africa and when I got home I moved house. We don’t have wireless at home yet… so I’m sitting in the Mac store stealing there wireless to write this blog. So much has gone on.

Africa was the most amazing experience of my life. We performed at the KOKO in Camden together. It was really cool… Tearful moments and friends for life have been formed I reckon…

It’s my birthday today too so I’m chilling out. I got a Polaroid camera, Scooter lessons as I’ve always wanted to learn how to ride and a pink helmet which is sweet and cool.

VV Brown checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (October 16). The London based pop singer tells readers:

So I’m in Africa with the beautiful organization called “Afica Express”. I’m having the time of my life. Everone is so nice! First night we had a party in the garden and were entertained by the most amazing musicians and then we ate and talked into the hours of the morning. We then went to visit Fela’s shrine and home, a political activist and musician of Nigeria, that was amazing. Following this we ate and talked into the night. We then were surprised by a hip hop battle with the locals, KANO and BASHY and then I went in and ummmm rapped!!! Damon also sang and was a part of it too…. by the way I totally have a crush on him and am unbelievably shy around him, I’ve had such in depth conversations with everyone but am so nervous to talk to him cause he’s umm gorgeous and I’m nervous.
