Tourist tips What advice would you give to a tourist? Don't try to talk to the guards at Buckingham Palace.
On parade What would you do if you were Mayor for the day? Take the Notting Hill Carnival to the Mall and Buckingham Palace.
Holiday hotspots Where were the last three places you went on holiday? Last summer I was in Capri, but I spent half the time in the studio. I took my friends skiing in Aspen for Christmas. We had cosy nights in listening to music in front of a fire - sheer bliss. Last summer myself and a few friends went to Richard Branson's Necker Island. It was paradise on earth.
Bookworm What were the last books you bought? The Autobiography of Malcolm X and The Bombshell Manual of Style by Laren Stover. Books are usually gifts from friends.
Watering hole Do you have a favourite pub? What's so special about it? I prefer restaurants to pubs because there is always too much smoke in pubs which is very bad for my voice. But if it wasn't for that I know I would love pubs as I would get to taste some Guinness - my mum's Irish.
Wheels How do you get around town? In my Maybach (a luxury German car made by Mercedes' sister company), available only through Mayfair Cars in London.
Little black book Who is in your secret address book? Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, because I can always rely on them. HMV stores for DVDs, Chanel on Bond Street and Cutler and Gross for sunglasses. I go to Joan Boyce in New York for gold jewellery and Oliver Peoples for sunglasses.
Good buys What items are in your spring wardrobe? Louis Vuitton knits with pencil skirts, a Gucci trench coat, Donna Karan jersey-knit skirts, shoes by Gianfranco Ferré (left) and a Christian Dior peasant dress.
