Since releasing Spirit last year -- the followup to her 1995 debut, Pieces Of You, which sold eight million copies worldwide -- the Alaskan beauty has been accused of being everything from a diva by Entertainment Weekly to a journalist seducer by Rolling Stone. On top of that the 25-year-old Jewel was hit with a $10-million lawsuit earlier this year by her former manager, whose duties were taken over her mother Nedra Carroll. "I can't talk about it -- I have zero comment (on the lawsuit)," she says down the line from Hartford, Conn. What Jewel will talk about, briefly anyway, is the Rolling Stone article in which the writer -- a male -- claimed they bunked down together, albiet in a non-sexual way. "I was never anything but sitting on a bed and when he said he woke up the next morning and I was gone, he made it sound like were sleeping in the same bed," she says. "That was really disappointing, really disappointing. It just sort of turned me off to all press. I have a real hard time doing any press, trusting anybody." The upside, media-wise, has been appearing on the cover of Vogue earlier this year. "It was fun," admits Jewel. "I sure never, ever, ever, ever aspired to being on the cover of Vogue. It was odd, surreal sort of, but a lot of fun. I find that, like any girl, it's fun to play dress up. I don't know a single girl that doesn't love to get dolled up once in a while." In fact, the shapely singer has been known to cause a few jaws to drop with her provocative stage clothes -- she's worn everything from leather to mini-skirts to high heels. "I was raised to be an entertainer by my father and a lot of my habits, my professionalism, my discipline, my ethics, were all from him," says Jewel of her folk singer-social worker father Atz Kilcher. "And it was always drilled into my head that you're there to perform, you get paid to do what you do, and 'You can't wear your dirty shirt, Jewel. You can't wear your blue jeans.' It was always a thing. So I don't really think about it anymore except that I was sort of raised with that mentality -- to put on a show." Jewel says she turned down an offer to be part of Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair swansong this summer because she prefers doing her own gigs. But she thinks the time is right for Lilith to bow out and doesn't expect a new all-women's festival to emerge next year. "I don't think there'll be a vacuum. I think there's already a backlash, which is expected. You know when grunge hit so hard, you know female music was going to start working, and when female music started working so good, you knew things like Limp Bizkit were going to start conquering. It's just cycles, music is always cycles and I don't really get caught up in it. All I can do is be a songwriter." Speaking of which, Spirit has sold an astonishing five million copies worldwide (including close to 300,000 copies in Canada) since November. In addition, Jewel hopes to have a book of short stories, some about Alaska -- "singing in biker bars and Eskimo villages" -- in stores after Christmas. "I am always writing," says Jewel. "I mean, luckily, the easiest part about my job is my writing. That's the no-brainer. The hard part is everything else that goes along with selling it." Also coming in October is Jewel's long-awaited big-screen debut in Ang Lee's Civil War drama, Ride With The Devil. "I did see a screening of it -- Ang Lee is great, he's a real good director," says Jewel, who wants to do another film next year. "I am excited to have it come out. I was pretty scared. I didn't watch any of the dailies while I was doing the film. And I'm real hard on myself, I'm real critical. But when I saw it, I felt a lot more comfortable. I didn't make myself cringe." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 22:47:59 -0500 From: "[ annie a will ]" Subject: * Trade: VH-1 Storytellers for Angelfood I was wondering if anyone has a good copy of Jewel on VH-1 Storytellers. I don't think I'll be able to catch any of the replays, so I am willing to trade for Angelfood. Please get back to me ASAP if interested; Thanks.
