Bedingfield "too boring" for America

Natasha Bedingfield has been advised by her record company that she needs to spice up her image if she wants to achieve success in America.

The singer made the move to the States in an attempt to repeat her chart success there, but executives fear her clean-cut persona will be too boring for America's oversexed pop industry.

She told Contactmusic: "I've moved from London to Los Angeles because I want to be an international star. But, to achieve that, my record company tells me I need a bit of scandal in my life."

"I can tell you, I was shocked. Maybe I should steal something from a supermarket. If I shoplift I could join Winona Ryder's club," the star joked.
