Beth Ditto: I dont care about fame

23rd September 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Beth Ditto wont care if her popularity wanes, as long as she has enough money to crochet.

The singer is the frontwoman of punk band Gossip, and had a humble upbringing in Arkansas. She never expected the group to take off the way it did, and still finds it strange that she makes money from doing something she loves. Beth fully expects her career to stall in the near future, but already has a plan for when that happens.

No not at all. We didnt even know that was a possibility. We didnt know what that meant, she said, when asked if the band expected to be famous. So the beauty of not caring is that when it goes away, youll be like, Well I knew it was going to go away anyway. So its fine. Hopefully I will have saved up enough money so that I can just crochet and garden and take care of my mother. Those are my three goals. And have a baby.

Beth has been dating a woman called Kristin for seven months, following the end of a long-term relationship. The couple have already discussed tying the knot, with Beth revealing they promised to be together years ago.

Yeah, I would get married. She hasnt asked me yet but shes going to. The relationship is seven months old, but weve been in love for ten years, she said on UK show Fearne and Beth Ditto. We had an agreement when I was 19, which is ten years ago, that we would get married when I was 32. When we were just friends. We would talk about it even when I was with my ex. It felt weird at the time, but now its normal. It was normal for us. We fight sometimes, but its always over weird things. Its just compatibility, its really easy. (C) Cover Media
