Michael Buble to Duet with Reese Witherspoon
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Michael Buble is set to duet with Reese Witherspoon. The "Haven't Met You Yet" singer confirmed he will collaborate with the actress - who won an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in musical film Walk the Line - for his new studio album.
Michael, 37, revealed he is a fan of the Legally Blonde star and put out feelers to Reese, 36, about recording together for his next record. Asked about the duet, he told ITV1's Daybreak, "By all accounts it would be true. I just really am a big fan, and so myself and my camp, we wanted to do this with her, and we were thrilled that she was excited about it too."
Reese has previously admitted she found the experience of working on Walk the Line - in which she starred opposite Joaquin Phoenix - horrifying, calling it the toughest movie she had ever made: "I had to do four months of rehearsals. I had to learn to play autoharp. I had to take singing lessons. I had to record an album, which was the most challenging, horrifying experience of my life. Me singing in front of people while they're listening to me is just horrifying."

Michael Buble Comes to Fainting Fan’s Rescue
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip,
Michael Buble had to catch a fan who fainted in his arms.
The “Haven’t Met You Yet” hitmaker delighted the mystery woman by stopping to chat with her - but she passed out after being overcome by his presence. Buble admits that has happened to him before.
“I’d just finished a show and was outside having a cigarette and a drink. This girl about 22 or 23 started talking. I could tell she was nervous, we exchanged pleasantries and then she passed out and I caught her!” he recalled. “A minute later she came round and just looked at me and said, ‘Oh God, what have I done?’ She was so embarrassed. That’s actually happened twice now.”
The singer always enjoyed being stopped and recognized by fans and doesn’t understand why other stars complain about the attention fame attracts.
“Sometimes people recognize me - I like it, it’s nice. I wanted to be famous and this is what comes with it. I’ve always been passionate about music but of course I wanted to be famous. To me, being successful at singing equaled fame,” he said.
