Paloma Faith is part of the latest wave of "new hot things" to come out of the UK music scene, and as thehothits.com discovered when we spoke to Paloma recently, it's not only now that she gets to rub shoulders with the rich and famous.

The 'Stone Cold Sober' singer has had many jobs before she got famous, including magician's assistant, a scary ghost on a ghost train amusement ride, actress, playwright and, the place of her most awkward celebrity encounter, as a sales assistant in a sexy underwear shop.

"When I was working in Agent Provocateur, I served Angelina Jolie. And when I meet people who are celebrities I tend not to change," she explains to thehothits.com

"I sold her knickers and bras and then she said that she couldn't be bothered to hand wash [them] cos' all the bras and knickers there are hand wash [only].

"I told her that next time she has a bath she should put them all in the bath with her and wash them in the bath with soap. I think she was a bit weirded out, but then after a while she just laughed a lot and said I was really cool," Paloma muses.

"You wouldn't imagine Angelina Jolie doing that now would you?" she says.

No, we can't! Doesn't she have people who do that for her?

Paloma will be in Australia this October for a promotional visit. Her debut album Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? comes out on September 21.
