"That song is very, very magical," the 20-year-old singer told Elle magazine.

"Because even when I travel, I can't believe the kind of people that know that record. Their age, their nationality, they don't speak English, but they all know that song."

Does that mean there's nowhere in the world you can go to escape hearing Umbrella, ella, ella, ella, a, a, a...?

The Spice Girls supposedly seek each other out for more than fashion advice.

According to itv.com, Melanie Brown recently told Britain's Hello magazine that she goes to Victoria Beckham for business advice. "Victoria is really positive. If you need any business advice, she's always the person I talk to,"

Scary Spice said. "Victoria has got her head screwed on right. She's basically a very shrewd businesswoman. She's also incredibly helpful if you want advice and really just tells you to go for it."

Watch out Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed her Iron Man costar Robert Downey Jr kept her "on her toes" and kept their on-screen relationship "sexually charged" during filming.

"Oh, man, I have had to work with people I have had zero chemistry with, and it's like pulling teeth," the actress was quoted by foxnews.com as saying.

"Because sometimes it's just not there, and when it is there, it's like flying. It feels like you can do anything, and when it's not there it's a struggle.

I've had that quite a few times."

Back in her 20s Kristin Davis was apparently shy, so she turned to the bottle to boost her self-esteem.

"Alcohol freed me. I was really shy, and I didn't know how to come out of my shell," the actress told Shape magazine, entertainmentwise.com reports. "I drank for the same reason I loved acting. I wanted to feel things and express myself and be free. And I'm not naturally that way."

However, that was then, and now the Sex and the City star sings a different tune. "I don't drink and I've never smoked," she said, adding, "They are bad for your skin and health."
