The 'Chip Diddy Chip’ hitmaker – whose real name is Jahmaal Noel Fyffe – is inspired by the 'Stronger’ singer because of the way he refuses to conform to stereotypes.

Chipmunk said: 'Kanye changed hip-hop culture itself. I don’t wear skinny jeans, but he does and gets away with it. I respect that.'

The London-born star also blasted his critics, who have accused him of selling out by making commercially successful records.

He said: 'Some people think, 'He’s making pop songs now because he’s signed, they changed him.’

'No, I wanted to make some pop songs so I did. If you want to hate me, hate me. For every 10 that hate me, 10,000 love me.'

Chipmunk recently said he wants his collaborations to become more unpredictable.

He said: "Collaborations are nice at first. It gives new artists a leg up. But I don't want people to expect who is gonna be on my next album and for them to actually appear on it."

Fast becoming a much-loved fixture on the festival circuit, Electric Elephant will return for a third bash this summer, promising cosmic, spiritual fun on the Adiriatic Sea. Electric Elephant is an escape, an adventure, a musical getaway, and a meeting of like-minded souls set within the little whitewashed fishing village of Petrcane, Croatia.

Brought to you by the team behind Manchester’s legendary Electric Chair club, Electric Elephant has once again pulled together a wonderfully wild mix of the best international and UK artists, with more live artists and eye catching DJs to be announced soon.

F*** Buttons and The Phantom Band, who both featured in just about every 'best of’ chart for 2009, are confirmed as Friday and Saturday night headliners, and they’re both utterly unmissable.

Electronic music comes to the live stage via Berlin’s Soundstream, which puts Frank Timm’s never-ending love for disco and refined house music to the fore. Architeq, a 23 year-old producer of cosmic/electronic hiphop from London, will be taking us on a journey from King Tubby through to Carl Craig, while PLUGS are a London-based electro-rock three-piece with a track record for incredible live shows.

Folk and acoustic sounds continue to play a vital role at Electric Elephant, and Jesca Hoop comes approved by Tom Waits and Guy Garvey, which is good enough for us. Table comb together different strands of modern folk music to create something new and wonderful, while Hannah Peel takes the delicate sounds of music boxes and a raft of other instruments to concoct gently enchanting suites.

On to the DJs and New York’s Francois K, known as the forefather of house music, headlines Friday night with a three-hour Deep Space set on the main stage. Juan Maclean brings the sound of DFA, while Andrew Weatherall returns to Electric Elephant to perform twice: a special sunset Balearic set at the beach bar and a late night jackin’ set to bring the festival to a close on Sunday.

Richard Norris & Leo Elstob join forces to present The Time and Space Machine Vs Wig Wam, a unique, four-hour set of warped pyschedelia and spaced out disco on the beach terrace. Internationally renowned Balearic disco king Todd Terje will be keeping beach terrace revellers dancing into the night and pioneering Italian DJ Beppe Loda will be showcasing his 'Afro Cosmic’ sound.

The futuristic house sounds of Berlin come in threes: in addition to Soundstream DJ sets come sets from Prosumer, the resident at white-hot club Panorama Bar, and exciting new producer Hunee. Sticking firmly in the future, Ramadanman – head honcho of celebrated dubstep label Hessle Audio – will be bringing the main stage Funktion 1 soundsystem to life.

At the beating heart of the Electric Elephant is Electric Chair and its residents The Unabombers, who once again headline the main stage on Saturday night. Friend of the club Ashley Beedle will bring basement soul magic from soundsystem reggae to sonic Detroit techno, alongside two other Electric Chair regulars Kelvin Andrews (taking time off from writing with some guy called Robbie Williams) and Chris Duckenfield.

Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee had a brief relationship with Pink's husband, it has been claimed.

According to Michelle's ex-husband Shane Modica the tattoo model - who had an affair with Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James - had sex with motocross racer Carey Hart after meeting him in 2008.

Shane told RadarOnline.com: "I knew about her fling with Carey Hart, Michelle told me that she had slept with him. She flew out to Las Vegas to see him but she was upset that they never got to spend as much time together as she expected too."

At the time Carey was separated from Pink, who he reconciled with in 2009.

A source close to Pink and Carey claims the racer and Michelle met at the ASR (Action Sports Retailer) convention in San Diego in September 2008, and got together at a private house afterwards.

Shane also claims Carey visited Michelle at a San Diego strip club to watch her perform, but the fling quickly fizzled out.

He added: "One of her female friends was friendly with Carey also and Michelle got angry that things did not pan out as they expected.

"This was before her time with Jesse James. It is so typical of Michelle because she always goes for the guy who she thinks... can help her out."
