Neil Sean's Showbiz Gossip

Neil Sean's Showbiz Gossip 10/6

Classically trained singer Charlotte Church is worried that her fans won't accept her new musical direction, with the release of her new pop single Crazy Chick. In fact, she's so worried that she has secretly signed an acting agent to help develop that side of her career in the US.

She has acted in only one small Brit movie and one episode of Heartbeat to date, but I hear that she is keen to land a role - however small - with her pal Justin Timberlake in his first big screen comedy. She told my spies: "We get on well and I know he likes me. What better way to break into film? "

Charlotte also claims that she turned down the role of Christine in Phantom Of The Opera - which bosses tell me is somewhat "confusing" as it was never offered...

Let's hope that Justin comes up trumps, eh?
