JONES TO TAKE 2008 OFF

NORAH JONES is planning to take 2008 off - after working herself to the point of exhaustion last year (07). The singer released a new album, Not Too Late, in January (08) and spent much of the year touring to promote the disc. But she also found the time to squeeze in her acting debut in director Wong Kar Wai's movie My Blueberry Nights - and she admits her heavy work schedule has left her in need of a break. Jones says, "I'm taking some time off. I worked a lot last year, just between the movie and my new record and the tour."
