Default Tulisa victim to an elaborate & cruel hoax

Quote:
Tulisa Contostavlos was reeling last night from a new blow after a multi-million pound deal to become a Bollywood superstar turned out to be an elaborate hoax, the Sunday People has revealed.



Tricksters posing as film *executives had promised her *£8million and global fame playing a sari-clad British girl who moves from London to India.

The former X Factor judge was flown around the world by private jet during two months of *negotiations and was preparing to announce the “deal” with a great fanfare last week.

But Tulisa, 24, has been left *devastated after finding out it was a sophisticated con.

As the star locked herself away in her £6million mansion in Hertfordshire, a source close to her said: “She has taken it badly and is pretty low.”

The sultry-looking singer, whose dad is a Greek-Cypriot, had told friends the movie role was her dream job and she was “ecstatic and *excited” about it.

During weeks of talks, she was flown to Los Angeles and Las Vegas and introduced to her so-called co-stars in the
penthouse of a five-star hotel.

They spent weeks talking to her about Bollywood big names who would be potential co-stars.

After Tulisa returned to London, the so-called movie bosses flew to the capital where they hired several executive rooms at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane.

Several phone-calls also took place to discuss the role in detail.

The news that the plan was a sham came last weekend just before Tulisa was arrested over allegedly plotting to supply the illegal Class A drug cocaine.

Since finding out about the hoax, she has lost trust in most of her close friends and has changed her phone number.

A friend said: “Tulisa says that they have played with her life. She’s shocked, destroyed and devastated. It still hasn’t sunk in. She feels like she’s been completely set up and that what has happened has messed with her life. She now feels like she can’t trust anyone at all even some of her closest friends.

“She was so excited about *making the big announcement. She even had the contract ready to sign.

“When she found out that there had never been a job all along last Saturday, she was devastated.

“She couldn’t believe it. She has been so sad all week and is stressed and depressed by it all.”


She was approached for the lead role in the movie and spent several hours discussing the plot.

She was told she would film in several locations, including India, America and Africa.

Tulisa had lined up her best friend and personal assistant Gareth Varey to accompany her around the globe.

The supposed offer coincided with an announcement that she would not be returning to ITV’s
X Factor for a third series.

But according to sources close to her, she wasn’t upset at not re-joining because she thought she had a far
better offer.

One said: “Tulisa wasn’t bothered at all about whether Simon Cowell *wanted her back on the show because she was so, so excited about the Bollywood role. As much as she loved The X Factor, she saw this opportunity that would make her a global star.

“She told people that she wasn’t bothered about going back to the show because she had something better up her sleeve.

“Now she feels utterly foolish. She just keeps thinking about what would have happened if she had been offered The X Factor as she knows she would have probably turned it down. She just can’t quite
believe what has happened.”

Last Tuesday police arrested and quizzed Tulisa at a central London police station along with her pal Mike GLC who was also quizzed on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs. Both were freed on bail.

Speaking afterwards, Mike, 35, said: “Anyone can edit or chop things together on video. The truth will come out in the end.

“I don’t want to go into much more detail. I am going home to be with my family. This is ruining my life. I am not a dealer. I have never sold drugs in my life.”

Mike – real name Michael Cooms – added that Tulisa “has not done anything” and she would bounce back.

He said: “I can’t think why there should not be a reason for her to not come back.”

X Factor boss Simon Cowell, 53, has sent Tulisa a supportive message through her agent Jonathan Shalit.

Cowell axed her from his show last month but has always told X Factor colleagues he is “immensely fond” of her.

A source close to Simon said: “He hates to see anyone having a hard time, particularly when he knows them as well as Tulisa. He thought the most *appropriate thing would be to send a *message through Jonathan.”

Tulisa, from north London, shot to fame in 2006 with first N-Dubz single I Swear.

Yeah, I never understand these hoaxes either.

It was like when that con artists filmed Mario and Lisa's lives as a new and upcoming TV show and then it was revealed that it was a hoax, and Mario & Lisa split up. Like, what did that achieve?

Somebody spent tens of thousands of pounds on a hoax for no return ..... not likely .....

Initially laughed at the idea of her being a Bollywood star... but the effort that's gone into it is just degrading and humiliating to both her and whoever orchestrated it. Really, really low thing to do.

As the star locked herself away in her £6million mansion in Hertfordshire, a source close to her said: “She has taken it badly and is pretty low.”

If my all time ****ing low is in a 6 million pound mansion, I'd grow some ****ing balls and move on, what a ****.

Oh she only rents a 6 million pound mansion. And now she has to go through this too. Poor girl.

Being sarcastic, shes still a tramp and doesn't deserve media attention for being sad when she has more than most people will ever have.

I find this attitude quite strange.

I'm no fan of Tulisa, but you're essentially saying rich people can't feel sadness or suffer because they have money and live in an expensive house.

How incredibly shallow of you.

I once watched a documentary that followed all these lottery winners. It was an hour of them complaining that it changed their life and they're miserable. I think some people, including Tulisa need to realise what they do have before they start whining about the things they don't.

Money doesn't always mean happiness, and you don't need to be a starving child in Africa to have a bad life. I thought this was common sense?
And anyway in Tulisas case she may not be able to live in that mansion anymore
