DON'T you feel for Charlotte Church's parents?

The 17-year-old singing diva was photographed on her Hawaiian holiday with boyfriend Steven Johnson in a T-shirt bearing the slogan: "My Barbie is a crack whore."

Not surprisingly, her mum and dad were quickly on the phone giving her an ear-bashing, treating nearby holidaymakers to a trans-Atlantic yelling match.

I suppose the only thing more irritating to parents than a stroppy teenager is one with pots of money and no taste in men or clothes.
