Pushing up Daisy

A NEW showbiz romance is blossoming between MARK RONSON and underwear model DAISY LOWE.
The superstar producer has worked his charms on the teenage modelling sensation – and the pair are now firmly an item.
If 18-year-old Daisy wasn’t the offspring of former BUSH rocker GAVIN ROSSDALE and hellraiser PEARL LOWE I’m pretty sure the 14-year age gap would have been a problem for her parents.
But not for Mark.
He was introduced to Daisy last year by their mutual pal SEAN LENNON, son of BEATLES legend JOHN.
Mark, 32, was instantly smitten with the Agent Provocateur model’s stunning looks and cheeky personality, starting a charm offensive on the spot.
He took her to The Brits as his secret date in February – when he won the Best Male Artist award – and she was snapped looking mighty fine.
And since then his efforts to win her affections have gone into overdrive – even flying her to Miami for a sunsoaked holiday.
Anything to catch a glimpse of her in the freebie undies from her big employers, eh?
Daisy has also been round to his lair in New York as well as his country pile in Henley, Oxfordshire.
It’s an impressive piece of swordsmanship by Mark – who only recently split up from his long-term girlfriend, American artist COSI THEODOLI-BRASCHI.
A source said: “Mark has put everything into romancing Daisy. She is a stunning girl and he was dead set on making her his new girlfriend.
“He has pulled out all the stops to impress her. She is living between London and New York, as does Mark, so there is no problem with long-distance relationship headaches.”
There were rumours for a while that Ronson was making the beast with two backs with AMY WINEHOUSE – though none of them were true.
Daisy has hit it off with Amy, which helped things along because the troubled star is one of Mark’s closest pals.
Daisy has had a pretty mental 18 years. Dad Gavin was a model himself for a while but found fame as lead singer with Brit rock band Bush and had moderate success with his later project INSTITUTE.
He is now married to GWEN STEFANI.
Now a fashion designer, her mum Pearl was lead singer with indie band POWDER.
She was best pals with SADIE FROST and JUDE LAW and the ringleader in some of the most debauched antics of London’s Promiscuous Hill set – which was all kicking off as Daisy grew up.

Now Leona gets No1 US album
LEONA LEWIS yesterday claimed her greatest achievement yet – securing No1 in the US album chart.
Spirit shifted more than 200,000 copies – making her the first British solo artist to debut at No1 in the US. Leona said: “The past few weeks have felt like a dream.
“I didn’t think things could get better after being No1 in the UK. I’m just so thankful.”
Her single Bleeding Love will join the album at the top – as I predicted earlier this week.
Leona’s mentor SIMON COWELL took a break from counting cash and said: “What Leona has achieved is incredible.
“This is the hardest market to crack.
“For her debut album to be No1 is unbelievable.”
And her double will be secured with Bleeding Love beating competition from MADONNA to return for a second stint at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Bleeding Love has sold more than a million copies in the States and Leona has had No1 singles and albums in 20 countries.
