[b]Charlotte Church Wins 'Rear of the Year' Award[/b]
[i]Wed May 1, 8:49 AM ET[/i]

LONDON (Reuters) - Teen-age singing sensation Charlotte Church has performed for princes, presidents and popes. On Wednesday, she won Britain's Rear of the Year award.

"It is very strange," said the bemused 16-year-old as paparazzi, usually more obsessed with the pert posterior of Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue, battled for the best shot of the Welsh soprano's curves.

The award offered the perfect transition for the "Voice of An Angel." Gone is the cherub-faced child star who has sold 10 million albums around the world. In comes the glamorous teen-ager acutely aware that image is a vital marketing tool.

"I think it is quite sad that image is so absolutely fundamental," she told Reuters as she strode into a sun-kissed London park, admitting she felt faintly foolish wearing her "Rear of the Year" winner's sash for the obligatory photo-shoot.

"But that's the way of the world, that is the way it is, nobody is going to change it. Therefore there is no point in complaining about it -- just embrace it."
