From the mouth of a sailor

Diane Warren, writer of such sappy love songs like Unbreak My Heart and I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, apparently is a bit of a boorish jerk in real life.

Before meeting Warren, I'd been warned not to expect a gushing, poetry-spouting sweetheart; instead, think a Beavis and Butt-Head-type who favours four-letter words that aren't "love". "She's liable to eff and blind, and come out with words that would make men blush, let alone women," laughs EMI UK's chairman Peter Reichardt, who's known Warren for almost 20 years and handles her songs outside the US.

Thanks to Emma for the tip.
