James Blunt Blames His Poor Looks on Being English

British singer James Blunt says his fellow countrymen have no sense of style.


The musician blamed his poor dress sense on his nationality, insisting UK men struggle to look good.

Speaking at GQ magazine's 50th anniversary party at New York's Cedar Lake club on Tuesday (18.09.07), he said: "As you can tell, being British, I have no sense of style."

Despite his unimpressive wardrobe, the star still managed to attract the attention of a mystery blonde. The pair were spotted leaving the party together arm-in-arm.

Other guests at the glitzy bash - which featured a performance by Kanye West - included Beyoncé Knowles, Jay-Z, P. Diddy, LL Cool J and Cindy Crawford.

Earlier this month, James revealed he regularly uses his pop star status to have sex with groupies.

He said: "I've always thought it was my responsibility to meet beautiful girls. I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?

"I have fun with it and I am honest and open about the way I lead my life and don't mislead anyone. I've had the time of my life and thank God for that, it would be such a waste otherwise."

Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Kanye West and James Blunt to perform at Princess Diana's tribute conce

Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Kanye West and James Blunt will perform at Princess Diana's tribute concert.

The late Diana's sons Princes William and Harry have invited a host of musical stars to appear at this summer's Concert For Diana, including Meatloaf, Bryan Adams, Pharrell Williams, Orson, Joss Stone, Take That and Keane.

Elton, who sang at Diana's 1997 funeral, said he was "thrilled" to be taking part.

Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon is set to perform a duet with Justin Timberlake.

Newly reformed Take That revealed they idolized Diana, who was killed in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Mark Owen said: "Princess Diana was such an amazing woman. I think it's lovely the princes want to do something to remember her."

Organizers are trying to convince Dire Straits - one of Diana's favorite bands - to appear and the Spice Girls are also rumored to be reuniting for a special performance.

The concert will take place at the new Wembley Stadium on July 1 - which would have been Diana's 46th birthday.

Prince William said: "We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted. A church service wasn't enough. We wanted this big concert full of energy, fun and happiness. It has to be the best birthday present she ever had."

Tickets for the event sold out within 20 minutes last December. Money raised from the event will go to several charities, including the Diana Memorial Fund.
