Because the general public is sucker for silicon bewbs mouthing O sole mio and O Mio Babbino Caro remixed with backup vocals at million-dollar recording studios, Welsh mezzo Katherine Jenkins has just inked what is reportedly the most expensive classical recording deal in history, signing a £5.8 million GBP ($10 million USD) contract with Warner Music.
The contract includes a 5-album deal, and Jenkins is headed to L.A. to party with new BFF&E Placidone for a few pointers.
Let's hope she finally puts her earnings towards a good stylist, because gawd only knows how many (more) tight, sparkly evening dresses, weaves, and cases of hairspray that 10 million dollars can buy.
Right about now, Dame Kiri is freaking out.
