Joss Stone is lucky to be alive, after new details of the murder plot against her are being revealed.

Two men, identified as Junior Bradshaw, 31, and Kevin Liverpool, 30, are in custody today on suspicion of attempting to rob and attack singer Joss Stone.

More details are emerging on the pre-meditated attack.

Police found handwritten notes in a vehicle used by the men which said “rob and kill, money in the safe, Joscelyn rob,” in addition to a Samurai sword, knives, a hammer, a body bag, gloves and balaclavas. A separate note said: “find a river to dump her in.”

The men, who will return to court to face trial on July 1, were named in court as Junior Bradshaw, 31, and Kevin Liverpool, 30, both from Manchester.

Stone, the British-born soul singer who won fame with Introducing Joss Stone, is not thought to have been at the house when the attack was planned. She has said through her agent that she is “absolutely fine and getting on with life as normal.”

Creepy!

This is so scary! It’s like something out of a movie! (Probably will be a movie now that I think about it.) Thankfully the police were able to intervene before anything awful happened!

Two men in their early 30s have been arrested near British singer Joss Stone’s isolated U.K. farmhouse, allegedly with swords, rope, and a body bag in their car. Police believe the two were plotting to rob the 24-year-old star, or at minimum “cause her some really serious harm,” the Telegraph reports.

Police began investigating the pair’s red Fiat Punto after neighbors reported seeing a suspicious car on their quiet country roads. Cops first arrested the duo for weapons possession Monday morning; the charges were later escalated to conspiracy to rob and murder.

Investigators have not identified the two men who drove 250 miles to rural Devon from Manchester, and refuse to confirm what exactly was found in their car, but U.K. papers are reporting the pair also were in possession of floor plans and aerial photos of Stone’s property. Police are still trying to determine their motive — whether they resented her success or simply targeted her for her money, or had some other grudge against the star. According to the Telegraph, Stone is worth more than £9 million, and is one of the Top Five highest-earning female singers in the U.K.

“Joss is aware of the arrests and is being kept informed by the police,” one of the singer’s reps tells the Guardian. A neighbor told the paper the singer “was quite laid back and not in a major panic” the day after the arrests.

Joss Stone is the latest celebrity to take it all off for PETA, and there have been plenty.

Award-winning British soul singer Joss Stone says there’s one thing that she can’t bear—the killing of bears to make hats for The Queen’s Guards. The “For the Love of You” singer is baring all for the love of Canadian bears.

K, sure, why not!

Joss Stone reportedly headbutted her brother at a recent family baptism.

The star, 21, was to be godmother to her 29-year-old half-brother Daniel Skillin’s son Louis at a ceremony in Somerset, England.
But Stone allegedly upset guests by arriving 30 minutes late – and is then said to have attacked Skillin when he confronted her over her behavior.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, “She was absolutely furious and had a full-blown argument. They were screaming at each other and the next thing, Joss headbutted him.”

Mark Ronson has hinted he once turned down a sexual proposition from British soul singer Joss Stone.

The acclaimed DJ and hitmaker was asked in a recent interview if he had ever had sex with any of the female artists he had worked with.

Ronson, who has produced for Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, told the reporter, “I’m not the sort of producer that shags every artist he works with. I’ve had enough offers, but I’m very picky.”

The star went on to describe the artist who offered him her body: “I’ve said no to a very famous, white, bland and very boring English soul chick, whom shall remain unnamed.”

When pushed on the topic by the journalist, who namechecked singer Joss Stone, Ronson allegedly gave the game away by smiling and winking.

It is not the first time Ronson has embarrassed the singer in the press – last year he slammed her for writing a 7,000 word ‘thank you’ list on the sleeve of her debut LP Introducing Joss Stone, stating she had a “really annoying attitude”.

Joss Stone is to launch a legal battle in a bid to leave her record label EMI.

The singer has hired a legal team to help free her of her current three-album deal with the troubled music company.

The British-based label was bought out last year by capital group Terra Firma and has since seen the exit of a host of high-profile artists including Radiohead, the Rolling Stones and Paul MCCartney.

Stone is the latest star to voice displeasure at the stricken firm, insisting her decision to leave is based on EMI’s insistence on maintaining creative control over her future projects.

She says, “I’m not happy at all with EMI. I’ve spoken to my lawyers and am seeing what my options are. The industry is in a state and EMI are in a state, so I would rather work on other things.”

British soul singer Joss Stone would quit the music industry to be with her man if she was faced with an ultimatum.

The unlucky in love Spoiled singer insists she would abandon her career for a “solid relationship” following the heartbreak she suffered when her stormy romance with Beau Dozier, son of Motown producer Lamont Dozier, ended.

The 20-year-old’s relationship with the singer/songwriter, who she met when she was just 16, ended after 18 months – and although she claimed they were in love at the time, she now admits the romance was just “infatuation”.

She says, “You know what? I’d give up fame tomorrow for a solid relationship. Looking back now, I wonder if it really was love between Beau and me. I think it must have been deep infatuation based on lust.”
