"I jumped off stage at the end of the gig and was chased by women, and even some men, in the crowd. I started running and the next thing I knew I had broken my finger. It was a funny moment being chased, but when I got back on stage it was nerve-racking looking down and realising the finger was pointing the wrong way. Upon reflection, it was dumb to jump into the crowd but in a way it was my own fault. I had leather-soled shoes on and just slipped."
"I need it to be right but the idea of having them take a hammer and smash my finger into two isn't so thrilling."
"I need it fixed. I need all my fingers to work properly. Not just for performing but for partying."

"I think when you put the emphasis on her knickers and not on her talent, you lose perspective. It really detracts, as a whole, from things that are really important, like global warming and war. Sending paparazzi to investigate things like this is useless. We're better than that; we have the power to teach and educate. Let's spend our time on that."







"I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn't get to a funeral in Ireland. The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season, and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay: 'Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour! Desperate to get to a funeral in southern Ireland, please help!' The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter.
"He flew her to the funeral. That was three years ago. This summer they're getting married. That was the stupidest thing I've ever sold on eBay - my sister."






People Magazine just confirmed that Petra Nemcova and James Blunt have broken up. Could this mean that James really did hook up with Lindsay Lohan the other day? But I thought she was hanging out with Robbie Williams. Man! I can't keep up with that girl...
"They split in February. It's very amicable," a source close to Blunt tells PEOPLE.
