GOLDEN-THROATED CHARLOTTE SPEWS VENOM AT FDNY

By BRAD HUNTER

November 29, 2001 -- She may have the "voice of an angel" but teen singing sensation Charlotte Church has a bit of a devilish attitude.

The 15-year-old Brit was not exactly kind to New York firefighters and Paul McCartney in an interview with a British newspaper.

The prodigy sniffed to the Times of London that she disapproved of the fact firefighters have now climbed the ladder from anonymous heroes to American superstars.

"They are even invited here to present television awards, which I just don't agree with," the paper quoted the classical soprano as saying.

Church - whose first album "Voice of an Angel" made her an international phenom - was in New York Nov. 12 when Flight 587 crashed and told the paper she was not happy her interview with "Good Morning America" was scrubbed.

Church also reportedly said people in New York were too focused on the attacks.

"Everyone there has to relate themselves to it," she said. "They are like, 'Yeah, my neighbors' dog's owner's sister's dog was involved, but he got out just in time.'

"It was a bit sick. People overdramatize and lose perspective."

She also slammed Paul McCartney's stunned reaction to the horror at the WTC, the paper said.

"There was Paul McCartney saying, 'I witnessed the crash.' Who cares? Thousands witnessed it," Church is quoted as saying.

Church claimed her quotes were "taken out of context" and called the story "upsetting." She said she visited ground zero and was humbled by the experience.

"The New York firefighters display remarkable courage. To myself and others around the world, they are true heroes."

In a snotty English accent, "What a bitch!"

And trying to hide the stick she has up her arse just doesn't work.

she sounds like she could use some humbling with a good caning.

That or a little bridaled passion for a few hours?

I agree that she could do with an attitude adjustment. I will cut her a little slack, though, since she is 15 and has lived an extremely sheltered life.

A few days serving meals in a NYC soup kitchen would be good for her.

Sounds like a prima donna to me. I wonder how long she'd complain about the folks that risk their lives daily and those that have survived this tragedy if her recording sales suddenly plummeted in the U.S.? Spoiled brat.

No slack. It was more than just one "unfortunate" remark; it was a whole string of 'em. She's a spoiled--nay--ruined, self-absorbed little cow and could do with a good talking-to.
