Joss Stone Stalked Lauryn Hill!

Joss Stone has revealed she was so desperate to get Lauryn Hill on one of her new tunes that she called the former Fugee's mum every day for months to help persuade her.

The red-haired tunestress told MTV, "Lauryn heard the song ('Music') finally, after two months of me calling her mum over and over and over and over again.

"Her mum was so sweet to me. I was like, Whats your name? She said, Miss Hill, I said, 'Okay, hi Ms Hill. Bless her little heart! I just told her how inspired I am by Lauryn and asked if it was possible to get the song to her just to see what she thinks.

"I (said), 'I wont be upset if she says no. I just want an answer - just give me an answer and Ill stop, Ill go away and stop bugging, but until the day comes that she gives me an answer Im going to keep calling.'"

Fortunately, Ms Hill didn't take out a restraining order - instead she passed Joss's record on.

"Finally it got to Lauryn," La Stone explained. "She heard the song and she was inspired and went in (to the studio) that night and recorded it and sent it to us and it was that simple."

And now the 19-year-old couldn't be happier.

"I dont know what else to do in life now," she beamed. "All I got to do is a duet with Aretha (Franklin) and Im done. I dont need to do anything after that. Im so inspired by that woman (Lauryn). Lyrically shes one of my favourites and her sound and her spirit, her flow, everything about that woman is like, Ah! I just love it! I love her'!"
