Last night FabUK and I headed to Beach Blanket Babylon in Notting Hill for a party and screening of the fun and bizarre musical short The Town That Boars Me. It has cameos from familiar faces like Sadie Frost, Zandra Rhodes, Jodie Harsh and Kelly Osbourne (who was missing from the party due to her black eye), as well as the lovely Sophie Ellis-Bextor who we managed to have a few words with! Make sure you check out what she said about her expensive boots to FabUK, and here's what else she had to say to us:
As we headed over she was with her man Richard Jones (The Feeling) who she introduced as "her husband and sometime bodyguard", at which he jokingly said "I'm watching you two...". They're such a lovely couple!
- On how she got involved in The Town That Boars Me:
Basically, I’d met Ben out and about a couple of times and he said "I’m making a film and would you like to be involved" and I said “Sure”! It was fairly obvious he was a nice guy, so I just trusted him really. And my bits were all filmed in our house, so that was all really easy! - On her outfit and the heels-related plot of the film:
It’s a Zandra Rhodes dress… I think she did a lot of the costumes for the movie actually. I thought it would be a kind of macabre fairy story so I guess, yeah it turned out like I imagined. I don't think the storyline will put me off wearing heels though, I think most girls have a bit of a high heel fetish, so I’m not going to stop!
To read what Sophie has coming up and see more photos from the party, just read more.
- On what's coming up for her:
I’m actually working on my fourth album at the moment, I was in the studio today. It’s exciting, it’s going really well actually. I’m working with Calvin Harris, Freemasons... It’s very dancey, electro, disco – not a million miles away from what I’m doing now. - On similarities between shooting her cameo and her music videos:
I’m not talking in [the film], so it’s very similar. I think a lot of singers would say they’d be very flattered to be in a film, and I would be one of them. But I’m not one of those people that says “I’m a singer but I want to be an actress”, singing is my day job and I’m very happy with that.

Wow lucky you! Any chance PopSugarUK would like to hire a correspondent in Scotland?
Thanks for the interview, she sounds absolutely lovely!
1Sophie looks amazing. Other celebs should take notes: she is gorgeous and has style and sophistication!
2Ooooh - how about a correspondent in Canada? It's film festival time in Toronto... ; )
3Sophie E-B used to be weird looking, and now she's an astonishing beauty. Or maybe I was jut a bit blinkered in the way I saw beauty. But she's a knock out anyway.
4She so beautiful.. and looks very happy with her man..!
Sadie Frost... not looking so good..
5You guys are so lucky, this is awesome, how fun!
6I used to go to Beach Blanket Babylon when I first moved to London, and it was very faded hip then, but it seems to be the location of every new party I read about these days. It must have got all cool again! I'm never in the right place at the right time.
7sophie elis bex is fab, i agree she is a stunna
8I can't believe you got to talk to her! And she does sound really really nice. I've not been to the Notting Hill location of Beach Blanket Babylon - only the one in Shoreditch for a friend's birthday. But I loved it nonetheless.
9Great interview, I love Sophie!
