Darius is not the one and only
I'd like to tell reader D. Hunter that most of us are bored and fed with all these darius letters.
Darius is not the best popstar Scotland has ever had, so please give us a break and get yourself a job if you havent got one - Mrs Doris Tyler, Ilford, Essex
Not so bored that you couldn't be bothered writing one yourself, Doris!
Jockey Frankie Dettori and rugby star Gavin Hastings are expected to take at the fashion show in the Jacobite room on June 1st. which will raise cash for Racing Welfare.
It is also hoped actor Vinnie Jones, Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and pop star Darius Danesh will also model clothes and hats for the event, designed by the event host, Yvette Jelfs, the BBC fashion commentator at Ascot.
Ms jefs has recently moved to Edinburgh and has opened the Edinburgh Milliner shop on William Street.
The star-studded event will include a private tour of the castle's Crown Jewels, pre-show drinks and a party. Racing Welfare raises money for anyone in the racing or horse breeding industry who has suffered an accident of fallen upon hard times. The BBC's Grandstand are also expected to film the fashion show.
A spokeswoman for the event. "it is a light-hearted event to raise money for charity, with a sportying focus. Yvette has moved here and is trying to get racing going."
He doesn't even need a surname. Like Robbie and Elvis, his christian name sufficies. You'd have had to be living in a war bunker to have missed his rise to stardom. Whether you've become hooked on his songs on the radio, been riveted to his TV performances on Pop idol and Popstars or read about his antics in the tabloids, he is everywhere and shows no signs of abating.
While many of the 22-year-olds fellow 'manufactured' contemporaries have disappeared , tails between their legs, as fast as their singles climbed the charts, Darius is forging his very own pop career, thanks very much.
Having turned down Simon Cowell's notorious record label, last year he sensibly signed a five-album deal with Mercury, who must have faith in his longevity, and some of the top names in the music business are helping him develop his talent.
"My friends and family thought i was mad turning down a multi-million pound deal, but when i went into Simon's offices and played Colourblind (which went on to be Darius's 1st no.1), they said they had other songs in mind.
The ten-year-old spend 10 weeks locked away from other children last summer beacause of a bone marrow transplant left her immune system so weak.
The youngster was kept in an isolation ward in Birmingham Children's hospital where she was treated for leukaemia for the 3rd time in her short life.
But the sound of one start could always send her blood pressure soaring even when she was in intensive care - Scottish heartthrob Darius Danesh.
And last night a dream came true for yound alex when she met the singer in person at the Birmingham NIA.
"I wanted to take him home with me" said delighted Alex afterwards. "He gave me a big hug and kept holding the bear that i gave him. I want him to take it on tour"
Darius was equally charmed by his young fan.
"You're a very brave girl and i hope you get better soon," he said "I hope my songs keep making you happy"
Alex is now back at St. Chad's RC school in Sedgley and her cancer is in remission.
Her mum lorriane, 46, from Sedgley said: "This was a dream come true for alex"
