Johnny Borrell likes his super-bright look, thank you very much.
Up All White

That Johnny from Razorlight, he likes to succeed, doesn't he? And not just on his own terms, either. He likes to succeed at the expense of everyone else who might either be a rival of his or a hero. Like poor old Morrissey...

He told the NME: "I was amazed at V Festival when I was told there were 45,000 people watching us and 20,000 watching Morrissey. I was staggered. There was a chant of 'Who the f*** is Morrissey?', which for someone who grew up as a massive fan of the Smiths was interesting. You feel a bit sorry for someone who was your hero, but at the same time really pleased people are getting into your stuff."

And, in what sarcastic people up and down the country are calling 'a total break from the normal Borrell over-estimation of self', the skinny star has also announced that his en-diva-fication is nearly complete, particularly in matters of wardrobe.

He said: "I'm exclusively going to wear white for the foreseeable future. No matter how much I want to change, this is what I'm wearing until we finish touring this record."

We will give ONE SHINY POUND to anyone who can sneak up on the Borrell and put a raggedy hat on him, draw coal-buttons on his top, colour his nose in orange, and stuff a corn-cob pipe in his gob for that authentic Frosty The Snowman look...
