LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 /TMRZoo.com/ -- The blonde beauty with the Aretha Franklin vibrato, Grammy®-winning songstress Joss Stone, will join the cast of Showtime's THE TUDORS' third season, playing Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) fourth wife. Stone will star in three episodes, which are currently shooting in Dublin, Ireland, and will return in 2009.<!--more-->

Hailing from Kent, England, Stone was a fresh-faced 14-year-old when she won the popular BBC talent show, "Star for a Night." She wowed audiences with her version of Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," stupefying the crowd when a booming, old-soul voice came bellowing from the frame of a small blonde girl. In 2002, she arrived in New York City, catching the attention of label CEO Steve Greenberg who signed her and the two began work on her first CD, The Soul Sessions. The three-time Grammy®-nominated singer-songwriter's three discs -- with sales totaling more than 10 million albums -- have earned her industry acclaim and a devoted fan base. Most recently, she has branched out into acting, landing small roles in the 2006 fantasy film Eragon, and an episode of the CW series "Gossip Girl."

Viewers and critics alike have been enthralled watching the storied exploits of the sexy, hard-bodied King Henry VIII (Rhys Meyers) as he weds, beds and beheads women and wives across 16th century England. Both Rhys Meyers and the series have been nominated for Golden Globe® Awards, and the series has won two Emmys® for its incredible costume design and main title theme music. The new season will pick up after Anne Boleyn's beheading, detailing Henry's doomed marriages to true love Jane Seymour and the German-born Anne of Cleves.

THE TUDORS is an Ireland-Canada co-production, executive produced by Morgan O'Sullivan for Octagon Films; Benjamin Silverman and Teri Weinberg for Reveille Productions; Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan for Working Title Films, and Sheila Hockin; and is created, written and executive produced by Michael Hirst. SHOWTIME presents the series in association with Peace Arch Entertainment.

I gave up on The Tudors when I found out they were rewriting history to suit themselves

Although I must admit Jonathan Rhys Meyers is easy on the eye
Ooops, I crapped my pants

Its entertainment based on a period, if you want historiclly correct watch the History Channel. I did love the scene when Hernry the 8 is jacking off and the servant has to crouch down like Johny Bench with a rag to catch his goo. Lets see the guy from Dirty Jobs do that one.

I looked up some of the things that they covered, because I'm dorky like that and like to know how much of what I'm watching is true and how much is fiction, and I think they were pretty much on target with a lot of what they covered:

King Henry and his annullment from Catherine, the whole thing with Cardinal Wolsey, the situation with Thomas More, how he founded the Church of England, and why, his fued with the King of Spain because of the Catherine of Argon problem, the whole Anne Bolyen story and how she ended up losing her head just to name a few things, and now next season they go into the Jane Seymore marriage.

I wonder if they'll ever have Henry get fatter? I assume they are going to cover all of his wives. Season 2 ended with him devouring a swan while his number 2 (Anne) got be-headed. So perhaps we'll see a more gluttonous Henry for next season.

I did hear that they were gong to go through all of his wives. But it may be a little while before we see him get to be the Henry VII we all know and love with a round, bearded, greasy face and a giant drumstick in his hand

I just read that they weren't going to potray the factual fat Henry. They don't want the actor to put on weight. Not sexy enough for TV I guess if he got all tubby. So we'll have to suspend disbelief as far as that is concerned.
