ing for the public. After a few weeks of what seemed to be a careful selection process, the band decided to recruit a pleasant, good-looking fan of theirs. The new member, however, didn't last long. Although after a few interviews she seemed to be just the right replacement, considering that she had been to nearly all their concerts and knew all their hits by heart, a slight misunderstanding arose soon after she joined the band. The newspapers comment on her quitting after just a few weeks of performing with the band, saying her expectations did not quite agree with the requests of the band. Nevertheless she got a lot of public attention, which can never hurt a future singing career, if she decides on one. Meanwhile Spelca, the former member who quit the band earlier this year, seems to be enjoying her freedom. The papers report that she is now happily in love and that she spends most of her time in the nicer climate along the Slovenian coast. Perhaps the change in her lifestyle had something to do with the fact that she is now selling her BMW over the internet. With her being a minor celebrity, there will surely be a good number of visits to the website. Being a long-time celebrity equips young musical performers with a greater tendency toward caution. Rebeka Dremelj, a former Miss Slovenia, who was later a talk show host and is now a successful singer, knows how to handle the pressure. Being a good-looking woman beginning a career as a singer, after her debut gossip writers were writing a lot about her love life, especially since she was fresh out of a long-term relationship. She then decided to keep her personal life as private as possible. About a year ago she was often seen in the company of another good-looking and, of course, single man, last year's representative for the Eurovision song contest, Serbian singer Zeljko Joksimovic. They both decided not to comment on their supposed love affair. However, although they are extremely cautious in Slovenia, they seem to be more relaxed when abroad. Once again, living your life but not telling the public about it, seems to be the right way to go. On the other hand, showing a huge interest in an idol seemed to have paid off for another young rising star - Jasna Kuljaj (left), the host of the TV show Turistika. In a magazine interview she revealed a secret of her success. As a young girl she was, like most teenagers, a huge fan of the group Nirvana. What distinguished her from most of her peers was her enormous obsession with the Slovene singer Helena Blagne (right). Helena was at the time mostly popular with older people, nevertheless Jasna Kuljaj couldn't stop listening to a tape of hers. After a while, she started to impersonate the diva and with time became quite excellent at it. Because of her special talent, she was invited to perform on the radio show of Saso Hribar, who is known for his great impersonations of famous politicians. Her performance on the show was well-received by listeners. Nowadays, being a good-looking young lady, Jasna still gets a lot of invitations for public appearances, which makes her a very busy young lady considering that she also works at the national TV station.
