Stone can't accept her British fame

Teen star Joss Stone is so focused on pleasing her American fans, she often forgets how famous she is in her native Britain.

Teen star Joss Stone is so focused on pleasing her American fans, she often forgets how famous she is in her native Britain.

The Fell in Love with a Boy beauty, 17, has secured a huge following stateside since a series of lengthy promotional tours and high-profile live performances in the US.

And it always shocks Stone when autograph-hunting members of the public and star-struck fans swarm around her when she returns home - because she's rarely working in the UK.

She says: "I spend so much time in America and I definitely feel quite famous over there. It's weird, but I always assume no one knows who I am in the UK.

"I feel I can come back and just be absolutely normal and anonymous."
