Did anyone else know that Holly Valance isn't really called Holly Valance??? Well she is called Holly, but her real last name is really long and scary!

Its: Vuckadinovic

I found out because on teletext in the UK...Channel 4, page 183, part 2/5 it says at the bottom!!!

This was a big shock to me, but you guys probably already know!!!

Maybe it's not true, i have no idea!

omg i never knew that lol. so where did valance come from then?

Never New That, thanks
valance must be a shorter version of her last name. Maybe its just something she came up with.

Yes, it's true... It's been 'out there' since she first joined Neighbours She has a Yougoslavian (sp) backround therefore hence the actual surname. Alot of celebs change there names/last names when they join shows such as Neighbours because 1) it doesnt cause them hassle and 2) it often proves difficult for the media to pronounce etc

yeah its true i think shes the only one in her family who kept that last name

meh i never liked her.. im glad shes gone

Yeah, I knew that.

This is in Today's Herald Sun in the HIT section of the paper and it's a review of her new single State Of Mind and this is what is says: A smart way to deal with Holly's um, vocal prowess is to add more electronic processing than a supermarket scanner. The result is a killer, edgy tune mixing '80s new wave and electro clash. Forget the court case, she's a winner here. It was given 3 and a half stars.

I only found that out recently when there was all the media attention from the court case...

I never knew that. Like blue*star said a lot of people change their last names for a number of reasons. I read somwhere in an interview with Carla Bonner (aka Steph Scully) that Bonner is not her real surname either. I think her real surname is of German descent, but decided to change it to Bonner.

talking of Holly Valance's new single, I don't think anybody frin GMTV likes it, I watched the Lorraine Kelly bit on Wednesday morning and she and this expert watching the video and decided that the vid was a flop! she said that the video was too rauchy, too nudy and too offensive for young viewers

glad they didn't like it!

I can't answer u that im afraid cos i have no idea myself. I am just saying what i heard.

Hey Guys!
I found a recent picture of Holly and i noticed that she had a tattoo on her right foot and i was wondering if it was real or not?

yeah i heard that ...no wonder she has changed it

Holly Valance said she is determined not to be broken by the financial shock of her costly court battle with her former manager.
Speaking for the first time since former manager Scott Michaelson was awarded more than $350,000 in damages, plu court costs which could reach $500,000, an upbeat Valance said it was "time to move on".
The singer's chart and financial fortunes could improve this week with the launch of her new album, State Of Mind. "So I'm poor at 20, So are most 20-year-olds," she said

Maybe it's like her mum's maiden name or sumthin

I found this review about her new album State of Mind and this is what is says about it:
HOLLY'S first album housed three hits but sold far more modestly than she dresses; now it's make or break.
Pleasingly, State of Mind al least has a vision-her debut tried to cover as many bases as possible.
The songwriting brief here was sexy, '80s electro pop with attitude.
When it works it's jaw-dropping:the title track is a thrilling mixture of Blondie, Kylie and a computer on the blink and is Holly's finest-and most fitting-moment to date.
Kylie's producer Steve Anderson serves up the heavy sass of Roll Over and the very-Kylie esque sulty electro of Hypnotic with a no to Kiss Kiss's exotic feel.
And Rick Nowels' Action rocks in a Flashdance soundtrack way.
But the formula soon wears thin, with neither Holly's voice nor the tunes as trong as they should be.

The Verdit: 2 stars
In a word: Holey
Other releases: Footprints (2002)

I don't like Holly, No offence to anyone.

Thanks for those 2 articals they were an interesting read!

I found this in a newspaper and i thought i would share what it say's with you all and so this is what it says:
HOLLY Valance says her own music annoys her and she switches off the radio every time Kiss Kiss is played.
Speacking to German music mag Prinz, she said: "The song went to number one and was in the charts for months. I have to say now it annoys me. When it comes on the radio, i quickly change the station".
