The Daily Telegraph reports
Jessica Mauboy can't put a foot wrong. The Aussie pop singer's second
movie The Sapphires has put her on the radar in LA and now she's scored a plum
gig at one of Britain's celeb weddings of the year.
And earlier
this week she was spotted hanging out at Simon Cowell's house in Beverly Hills.
Mauboy's The
Sapphires co-star Chris O'Dowd - the Irish funnyman and unlikely sex symbol
from Bridesmaids and The IT Crowd - is making good use of his connection to the
singer, especially in relation to his wedding late next month to UK TV
presenter Dawn Porter.
"I'm very
excited about the wedding and very excited about The Sapphires involvement in
it - we're going to have the lovely Jess sing at the ceremony," O'Dowd
said.
O'Dowd has
joked that Porter, former co-host of stylist Gok Wan's series How to Look Good
Naked, "chased me around the world". Mauboy yesterday said Hollywood
had already been calling - even before The Sapphires opens locally on August 9.
"We're in
a lot of auditions now. It's a great place to be. I love to be on a buzz, on a
roll," Mauboy said.
"It's not
top secret it ... oh, it kind of is!
"We're
waiting for call-backs. And amongst all that, trying to push my music at the
same time."
