Charlotte Church slams old rockers as ex demands millions to halt book

CHARLOTTE CHURCH's ex-boyfriend STEVEN JOHNSON is demanding the Welsh singer pays him $5.4 million (£3 million) to scrap the publication of his controversial new book that exposes the secrets of their intimate relationship. DJ Johnson, who split from the CRAZY CHICK singer almost two years ago (03), has asked for half of the 19-year-old star's $10.8 million (£6 million) fortune. Church's lawyers are currently battling to view a transcript of the book, HELL'S ANGEL, before it goes on sale in October (05). Johnson's father GEORGE says, "She can give us £3 million or take us to court. "It will hurt the Church family. They will scream in hell. The book will hang them. "I can't tell you what's inside, but it will interfere with Charlotte's head and career." Meanwhile Church has labelled Dylan a 'FREAK' Welsh pop star CHARLOTTE CHURCH has dismissed legendary singer BOB DYLAN for being a "freak". The 19-year-old is similarly unimpressed by critically adored musicians including THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES, and COLDPLAY's CHRIS MARTIN, who she thinks sounds effeminate when he sings.

However, Church does rate the late JIMI HENDRIX. She says, "I can't stand Bob Dylan. He sounds like a freak.

"And that Chris Martin isn't any good either. I don't mind Coldplay and know that conversational singing style is very modern but it's a bit wimpy.

"You know that song JUMPIN' JUMPIN' by DESTINY'S CHILD? BEYONCE (KNOWLES) is going nuts in it and she's so out of tune it does my head in.

"I never got The Beatles. People say they're great, but they don't do it for me. "And I never listen to The Rolling Stones. I'm not fussed about old rock music apart from Hendrix."
