Joss Stone's secret dates with rap star Nelly
Joss Stone once joked about turning gay - because she was having such trouble finding a bloke. But that idea's back in the closet - and her man drought is finally over. The old-school soul star has been enjoying secret dates with US megastar rapper Nelly, 33.

An insider told us: "Joss and Nelly have been out on a few dates together.
"It's early days but we haven't seen Joss this happy in quite a long time.
"It's great she has met someone as successful as she is and who understands the pressures being a performer can put on your life.
"And it helps that he is hot too - he is just her type."
It's great news for Joss, 21, who's not had the best of luck with men.
She was devastated when she split with longtime love Beau Dozier, son of legendary Motown songwriter/producer Lamont, in 2005.
Joss, who grew up in Devon, is a big supporter of gay causes such as LA Pride and recently she sang at an awards do in Hollywood for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
