Nelly Furtado’s High School Mafia


Nelly Furtado used to be in a high school gang.

The Canadian singer - who was born to Portuguese parents - admits she was in a group called the 'Portuguese Mafia' when she was at school but got thrown out because she wasn't very good at throwing stones.

She said: "I was in a high school gang called the Portuguese Mafia. But I was the most hopeless rebel of all time. We drove around in a van with the windows covered in black paper. We specialized in crashing parties and throwing stones at buses. I was pretty good at crashing parties but the other gang members questioned whether I could throw the stones hard enough to break the windows - so they threw me out of the gang."

Nelly also revealed how she once had a near-death experience live on stage after she fell 10ft off it.

She told live magazine: "I thought I was going to die when I fell 10ft off stage. In 2002 I was performing at a big arena in New Orleans. I was in the middle of singing the most sensitive part of 'I'm Like A Bird' when I stumbled and fell 10ft to the ground. The crowd seemed to think it was part of the show. 'She's singing about being like a bird and she's trying to fly. How cool.' But I was hurt."

Nelly Furtado Secretly Married

Nelly Furtado has sparked rumors she has secretly married.

The singer - whose engagement to Cuban sound engineer Demacio "Demo" Castellon was revealed in July - was seen wearing a gold wedding band on her ring finger, below her diamond engagement ring at Miami's Y100 Jingle Ball on Saturday.

A source is quoted as saying: "Nelly was partying backstage with Natasha Bedingfield and Timbaland. She was so happy and there was no missing the gold band on her finger.

"Natasha took her hand and looked at it and then hugged her and whispered something in her ear. It looked like she was congratulating her."

Nelly, 29, enjoyed letting down her newly-dyed blonde hair backstage after performing at the BankAtlantic Center to a packed house.

The singer met Demo when he worked on her hit album 'Loose' in 2006.
