Natalie Imbruglia’s back, with a new single entitled Shiver. It’s been three years since the singer released her last album, White Lilies Island. Just where on earth has she been?

Speaking to the press recently, she said “Off the back of my second album, I went straight into making the film. The moment I finished with Johnny English, I started writing. Unfortunately, it was a very lengthy process. I’ve definitely enjoyed it more this time”

“The second album was a bit weird, especially off the back of a really successful first album. And obviously getting married means you’re a lot more content and at peace with yourself. Everything is more fun.”

Natalie Imbruglia’s single, Shiver, was in shops on March 21. The album, Counting The Days, follows at the beginning of April.

Natalie Imbruglia is back on 21st March and 4th April with a brand new single and album. The single, titled “Shiver” comes first on 21st next month and is the first off of the new album, “Counting Down The Days”. She played the video for the very first time anywhere on CD:UK this morning (Saturday, 12th February 2005) with guest presenters Jeremy Edwards and Alesha Dixon formerly of Mis-Teeq fame. She admits though that the new album isn’t what it was intially going to be. “After finishing promo for White Lillies Island, I wrote some real heavy rock tracks. I don’t know why, I just wanted to, so I got it out of my system but scrapped a lot of the tracks afterwards.” Well thank goodness it isn’t. And I can’t wait for the new album personally…For more on Nat as it happens check out www.natalie-imbruglia.co.uk where you can sign up to her e-letter.

Natalie Imbruglia, who’s currently putting the finishing touches to her new album, found time recently to gush about her favourite actor on earth. That actor happens to be the brilliant Ben Kingsley.

“Ben Kingsley is just absolutely amazing. I love him. He’s acts superbly. I loved him in Gandhi and The House Of Sand And Fog. Both are movies everybody needs to see.”

“Plus, he’s cute too.”

The Sun has a pair of publicity stills from Natalie Imbruglia’s debut film role ‘Johnny English’.

The singer/actress says of her role in the James Bond style flick “The fight scenes were really great. I do a bit of kickboxing in my spare time so I really enjoyed that head-butting of walls!”

“I play Lorna and Lorna’s a very fun role to play. I got to do so many different things like to dance, to fight and to ride motorbikes. What more could a girl from Australia ask for?”

Natalie Imbruglia is planning on relocating back home in Australia after basing herself in Britain the past seven years. Natalie wants to spend more time with boyfriend and Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns.

“I’ve been down to Melbourne to see friends and then drove back up to Sydney via Canberra with a couple of them” said the lovely singer. “And then it was up to mum and dad’s place and then Newcastle. I’ve been everywhere.”

“I have just brought my dog back here. She just got out of quarantine and she’s up at mum and dad’s so I have now made all the steps towards spending more time in Australia.”

WENN quotes sexy singer and L’Oreal model Natalie Imbruglia saying, “Don’t get me wrong, as much as I’m on a diet, I’m constantly breaking it. I’m one of those people who are always on a diet.”

“Generally speaking I eat quite well. I love pasta and healthy, clean food like Japanese and vegetarian. I also like Indian.”

“As for ice cream and chocolate, if I want it, I’ll eat it. In the end I work out so much it compensates.”

Are Natalie Imbruglia and Lenny Kravitz an item again?

According to The Daily Mirror, they are more than just good friends. The ex-couple could not hide their closeness of their previous relationship when they hugged in the foyer of the Metropolitan Hotel in London. Their spokespeople insist that there is nothing going on and both are faithful to their current loves.

But a source told the tabloids “Lenny and Natalie are very close. Although they split up some time ago there’s always been a spark between them. They’d love to get back together.”

A source close to Lenny added that the couple spent lots of time together since the rocker arrived in London for the European leg of his tour. And they’ve been going to great lengths to keep their relationship under wraps. This will come as a shock to Natalie’s musician boyfriend Daniel Johns and Kravitz’s 20 year old fiancee model Adriana Lima.

Australia’s singer/actress, the dazzler, Natalie Imbruglia has become the new face of L’Oreal, placing her alongside some the world’s most beautiful women, such as the sexy Miss India’s Diana Hayden, stunning supermodel Claudia Schiffer, everybody’s favourite FRIENDS, Jennifer Aniston and many many more.

The 27 year old will soon appear in TV and magazine advertising for the French cosmetics manufacturer.

She began her career in TV soap, ‘Neighbours’ 10 years ago, but then launched a successful pop career. She released a second album ‘White Lilies Island’ at the end of last year and is currently shooting for her film debut in the spy comedy ‘Johnny English’.

She said “I think the L’Oreal contract is who I am now. Five years ago, I might not have even done it. Before this even came up, I think I’ve become much more feminine.”

A spokesman for L’Oreal said “Natalie is felt to be the perfect ambassador for our line of cosmetics. She is known for her genuine charm and personal strength of character as well as her physical beauty.”

Natalie Imbruglia is heads over heels in love over her Aussie boyfriend Daniel Johns of Silverchair.

A pal told the papers “The truth is they are absolutely blissfully happy.”

The ‘Wrong Impression’ crooner, who was a guest at Posh and Beck’s World Cup party, recently revealed that Daniel helped her turn her life around and saved her from depression.

She said “I was really down. Now I’m in a happy relationship.”

Meanwhile, Natalie Imbruglia is giving her music a rest and returning to her acting roots.

The Australian songstress will be starring with actor John Malkovich in another Austin Power/James Bond spoof, ‘Johnny English’, a flick I simply can’t miss.

According to thisislondon, Natalie will be cast as special agent Valdez and as Rowan Atkinson’s love interest. Director Peter Howitt said Natalie was casted for the part because she won the auditions. “She is very sweet. We didn’t cast her automatically though, she won through on merit.”
