Open mouth, insert foot

It's hard to know where to start with the Jessie J interview in the current issue of Q. The relevant bits have gone viral, but it's worth enjoying them again. Jessie J keeps switching the topic to the more interesting matter of her recently healed broken foot.

"It's put everything into perspective," she says. "I have a different respect now for people who don't have legs."

This is a statement that raises the intriguing notion that, before Jessie J broke her foot, she largely considered those without legs to be workshy, shiftless, just lacking the will to walk, etc.

Jessie J has previous experience in the area of saying stupid things. At the height of the summer's riots, she took to Twitter to announce that she was going to compose a song inspired by the events — "I'm off to the studio, if I can't help physically, I can write about it."
