BIBLE THUMPING RUMOUR: ============================================================================ In article xx writes: >Don't know if any of you know this, but apparently Samantha Fox became a >Christian last year and asked to perform at Greenbelt; at least, that was >the festival's explanation for why she was on the programme. She played >the Jive Tent - which was almost called "The Big Top", ironically enough >- just before Midnight Oil went on at the Main Stage. The tent was not 'almost called The Big Top', it used to be called the Big Top. The name was changed, supposedly, bacause of Ms Fox's appearance. -- se@uk.ac.lancs.comp ============================================================================ ============================================================================ THEY WERE 36D WHEN I DID PAGE 3 AND THE 8, has been haunted for two years rumours that they have been reduced. She says: "I couldn't believe it when it was reported back to me that I was supposed to have had some inches taken off them. "People would come up to me and ask why I'd done it. I'd just say, 'Look at them, does that tell you the truth?' "I'm proud of my boobs. Why on earth would I want to demolish my greatest asset? It's nonsense. "I work hard to keep all of my body in good shape and that includes my bust. I swim and exercise my pectoral muscles lust like Pincess Di does. but I'm not a a Bible basher in any way. I started to go to church about a year ago with a friend who thought it would comfort me because I was going I through a bad time. 'It was when my mother was very ill in hospital. I was really scared because she's all I've got and I'm all she's got. Mum Carol, 48, suffers from an illness called lupus which strikes the central nervous system, leaving its victims run down and vulnerable to other illnesses. Sam says: "Mum was so ill that she was even put on steroids. It was terrifying to see her so ill. "My friend said to me, 'Why don't you pray, God listens.' I went to church and it did comfort me. "I'm a very spiritual person. I know what's right and what's wrong. I know that if more people believed in God the world might be a better place. "I do get peace and strength from prayer but you don't have to go to church every Sunday to do that. "Anyway, Mum is a lot better now although she still has lupus and it can reoccur. She's my best friend and my confidante. In fact it was Mum persuaded me to send Go For The Heart to the Song For Europe panel. "She knows that it's a song that will have some meaning for everyone. A lot of people never listen to what their heart tells them to do, they take advice from everyone but never listen to their gut instinct. "For me, writing that song was like clearing out my life. "I got rid of all my managers, accountants, lawyers and started all over again. It was like washing my hands of a way of life. I simply wiped the slate clean. 'The past two years have been difficult for me. To stand you ground you have to be very strong. "I have lost a lot of money, I have had some dreadful arguments, but I have learned to stand on my own two feet. I'm very independent these days. I have my own staff, my own home and I pay the wages. "When my father ran the show I didn't know the price of a pint of milk. Now I do. Hearing that the song had been selected out of 800 entries was fantastic. When the letter arrived my manager's office we were thrilled, it was brilliant to know I'd made it on sheer merit. My mate Jonathan King, who is organising the show this year, was astounded when he discovered it was me singing the song. "When he told one of the judges that it was Sam Fox, he says the almost fainted. I even considered going incognito for the whole event. I thought about wearing a black wig and dark glasses. But Crissie Bonacci and Lauraine McKintosh, the girls in our band, said it was pointless, everyone would see through it. "They're right, even if I nip down the shops with my hair in a ponytail without a scrap of make-up people still recognise me." But Sam still plans to make a big impact when she performs Go For The Heart in the Song For Europe contest. She says: "l'm not letting on what outfit I'm wearing, but I promise it will not disappoint my fans." Sam admits that after years of living in Spain and America, there really is no place like home. She says: "I'm very settled back in England, I can relate to the people here. There's nothing Like the British sense of humour. In Britain you know that to succeed you have to be good. They don't suffer fools easily and there is a great respect here for hard work. "In America people regarded me as a bit of a curiosity. They loved my English accent, but they could never understand the idea of Page Three. I used to try to explain that Page Three was an institution and they were fascinated. "All the top models in America think nothing of strutting their stuff now, but it was a different story six years ago. " Sam, who spent 18 months as a video jockey for MTV while she lived in New York, was invited to Los Angeles by Pam Anderson's ex-boyfriend Scott Baio to appear in the U.S. sitcom Charles In Charge. She says: "He was directing one particular episode and it turned out he was a big fan of mine. "I flew out to L.A. to do the filming in front of an audience, but I was less than impressed with Scott. He was a bit of a brat, every time I was about to do a take he'd whisper, 'What's it like when you're taking your clothes off?' "I felt like telling him to get lost. Another time he smooched up to me and said, 'I've often wondered what it would be like to kiss you'. "I Leaned turned round and said 'You're going to have to wonder aren't you'. I think Pam Anderson did well to give that one the elbow."' ============================================================================ NEWSPAPER (TABLOID?) ARTICLE FROM UNKNOWN Dated Sunday March 19, 1995: ============================================================================ PAGE Three pin-up queen Samantha Fox lost her virginity to a gorgeous greengrocer...over a box of raspberries! The topless temptress was just a 16-year-old schoolgirl when she met fruity lover Stephen Moriarty. And now for the first time the Irish-born hunk has told of his passionate affair with the best-known boobs in Britain. As Sam bids to represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest, Stephen reveals how the busty blonde... LET it all hang out in the back of the greengrocer's shop he worked at in North London. BUNKED off from her O-level homework to get to grips with his meat and two veg. NEVER used any type of contraception. LOVED having her gigantic assets massaged during their steamy sessions. Stephen, a Catholic, also tell why he dumped one of Britain best best-loved beauties after she bared all in the newspapers. He said: "She didn't tell me anything about it. I picked up the paper and there she was in all her glory. "I could not cope with the thought of all my mates drooling over her while sinking a pint in the pub." Stephen, 29, who now lives in Sydney, Australia, first caught sight of sex-kitten Sam as she walked past the greengrocer's on her way to school. "She was wearing a tight blouse and short navy skirt," he said. "It was lust at first sight. Each day she would come into the shop to buy an apple. "It used to drive me crazy. I was desperate for her." His boss at Stroud Fruiters eventually played matchmaker, and sent him off to deliver a pair of melons to young Sam. "From the word go we couldn't keep our hands off each other," recalled Stephen. After a couple of months of heavy petting the two young virgins could not wait any longer. He had already arranged for her to start a Saturday job at the greengrocer's. And one afternoon they locked up early and had a steamy sex session in the Store room. "We were nervous and it took ages before we were undressed," said Stephen. "But it was fabulous and seemed to go on for ever. She was incredibly athletic and we ended up over the raspberries. It was all very messy. "And I hadn't planned it, so I didn't take any precautions." In fact Stephen and Sam never once used a condom or any other form of contraception. "I am a good Catholic from a big family. I used the withdrawal method, "explained Stephen. "But looking back on it we were lucky she never got pregnant." After the first time Stephen and Sam, who called each other by the nicknames Madge and Henry, started romping at his parents' home in Finsbury Park. "She loved doing anywhere," said Stephen "She went from classroom to the bedroom to the bathroom. We even did it in the kitchen. "We were always desperate for our weekly rendezvous at my folks' house "She had a free afternoon from school and I took a half day. We used to play David Bowie records and make love all afternoon. As most people know, she has an incredible body. And she was never self-conscious about her boobs. "She loved me to massage them," added Stephen, who at the time was earning just 50 a week. Last year Sam told in a newspaper interview how Stephen was her first serious boyfriend, but she claimed they never went all the way. "That upset me a lot," said Stephen. We had sex for months and got more daring as we became more experienced. "Sam liked oral sex. It was the best I ever had." The couple saw each other for 18 months. Her parents were very strict and Stephen always had to have her home by midnight. She was his first love in every sense. "We had our first dinner at a floating restaurant," said Stephen. He bought her a friendship ring at a local jeweller's for 10 and gave it to her at a candlelit dinner. "She Cried," said Stephen. A Couple of weeks later she brought him a ring. They were always going to the pictures and the first film they saw was Lady Chatterley's Lover. To be alone the went for long walks in a nearby park. But Sam was not keen on sex in the open air. Then eight months into the relationship Sam's parents tried to put a stop to it. They ordered her to concentrate on her O-levels and give Stephen the elbow. "The funny thing is I was actually helping her with her studies," said Stephen. "I used to give her maths lessons because she was so hopeless at it." For a couple of months the pair did not see each other. Then one day they met outside the greengrocer's and the relationship started up again. By this time Sam had left school and was trying to break into show business. She was obsessed with it becoming famous, Stephen claimed. "She used to go to loads of auditions for all sorts of different things," he said. It was at this stage that Sam's mum entered the bubbly teenager in a newspaper's topless pin-up competition...and almost overnight she became famous. Stephen said: "I don't know why she never told me about it. I think she knew I wouldn't approve. "As soon as I saw in the paper I was on the phone and we has a terrible row. "I told her I didn't want her doing it again, but she said it was her career. "I slammed the phone down and we never spoke again for 18 months." Broken-hearted Stephen went on a short working holiday to Australia to escape the friends who were making his life hell every time Sam's famous boobs were in print. He said: "They would hold the paper up and laugh if I went in the pub. Once they even stuck it to my front door. It went on for months." When he got back from OZ a close friend told Stephen that Sam wanted to see him. By now, she was a national celebrity while he just landed himself a job as a 110-a-week painter and decorator. "She picked me up in a car and whisked me away to Stringfellows where we drank champagne all night," said Stephen. "She insisted on paying for everything and it was a night I will never forget. "at the end we kissed in the car and promised to keep in touch. But that was the last time I spoke to her. "My sister told me she was fond of me and her sister Vanessa said I was the best boyfriend Sam had ever had. "But I know it would never have worked out. I suppose we could have ended up marrying, but I'm glad we didn't." "We are from different planets," added Stephen, who was just 17 when he dated Sam. "After it all fell through with Sam I knew there was no going back and I decided to go to Australia for good," added Stephen who has been in Sydney for ten years. Now he is to marry his fiancee Ursula O'Callaghan, a part time secretary. He said: "She knows about my fling with Sam and thinks it is very funny. "I wish Sam all the best and I do genuinely have very fond memories of our time together." Meanwhile, Sam is hoping her bid to represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest will be a success. She anonymously entered the contest as part of the all-girl trio Sox, singing 'Go For The Heart'. The song was picked as one of eight finalists from more than 800 entries. TV viewers will pick the winner via a phone hotline after the Song For Europe show on BBCl on Friday, March 31. Terry Wogan will host the 40th Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin on May 13. Sam, 28, who has sold 10 million albums since quitting modelling three years ago to become a singer, said: "It's great that the song was chosen without anyone first realising it mine me. It means it's there on merit." ============================================================================ This FAQ may or may not contain errors, omissions, etc. If you happen to notice any information that needs to be added, changed, or deleted, please feel free to e-mail: AP296@TORFREE.NET *** END OF SAMANTHA FOX FAQ (Part 2 of 3)
