Welsh singing star Charlotte Church branded US President George Bush “a right weirdo” and opera legend Pavarotti a “big fat diva”, it was reported today.
The singer took a swipe at the famous men during an appearance on Glasgow-based Clyde 1 radio to promote her new single, Crazy Chick.
Church, 19, said gaffe-prone Bush had no idea where Wales was when she met him after performing for outgoing President Bill Clinton in Washington in 2000.
“Clinton was lovely, in tune with everyone else, but George Bush just hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing,” she said, according to the Daily Record.
“He asked me what state Wales was in. I said: ‘It’s its own country next to England, actually Mr Bush.’
“If he doesn’t know the rest of the countries in Europe, he could at least know what’s in his own country. I’m really worried about it. He’s a right weirdo.”
The Voice of an Angel star said Pavarotti had been “horrible” to her when she was due to sing with him at London’s Hyde Park in front of 75,000 people.
“He was horrible, really nasty. He was a pig and I was supposed to do a duet with him. He was like, ‘You have to sing the mezzo.’ I said: ‘I am a soprano. How am I supposed to sing the mezzo?’ And he said: ‘You don’t sing with me then.’ “
He sent me out of his dressing room. I was only 15 — devastated. Pavarotti is a big fat diva.

Charlotte Has A Pop At The New Pope
She sang for the last Pope, but clearly Welsh firebrand singer Charlotte Church isn't too happy with the new one.Charlotte, who maintains she is a good Catholic girl, has attacked Benedict XVI - and it's all over Harry Potter!The 19-year-old Voice Of An Angel claims he is talking a bunch of old Hogwarts after branded the books "products of evil".
Potter fan Charlotte is quoted in the Sun as saying: "I'm from a Catholic family. But I don't like this new Pope.
"He even wants to ban Harry Potter! He says it is because of witchcraft and other bad stuff!"
And the singer, who has read every Potter book, says he should read them and then make a judgement.
She added: "If he bothered to sit down and read it he'd understand the morals of it."
He sent me out of his dressing room. I was only 15 — devastated. Pavarotti is a big fat diva.
OOOOh...Way to scratch there,kitten!
Get over it & grow up.
“If he doesn’t know the rest of the countries in Europe, he could at least know what’s in his own country. I’m really worried about it. He’s a right weirdo.”
This doofus seems to think that Wales in in the United States or that Bush is British. Actually there is at least one town of "Wales" in the United States (in New York) and probably several more. Bush, not realizing that the doofus was from Britain, assumed she was giving the name of the town or village she was from and asked an entirely reasonable question.
Then the doofus proved that she is also a snooty snit with her nose-in-the-air reply.
Scr*w her.
"He was horrible, really nasty. He was a pig and I was supposed to do a duet with him. He was like, ‘You have to sing the mezzo.’ I said: ‘I am a soprano. How am I supposed to sing the mezzo?’ And he said: ‘You don’t sing with me then.’... Pavarotti is a big fat diva."
Um...pot meet kettle?
The president was all over the U.K. when he was a teenager, he knows where Wales is.
Im part Welsh but am surprised how the biggest biAtches come from there (Catherine Zeta)
I do not believe this. President Bush is very well educated: prep school, Yale, Harvard. There is a difference between mispronouncing a word and thinking that Wales is a state.
“He asked me what state Wales was in. I said: ‘It’s its own country next to England, actually Mr Bush.’
It's Mr. President to you, you little brat. MR. PRESIDENT!!
