Kelis quits booze and sugar on spiritual cleanse

R&B singer Kelis has quit booze and sugar after overhauling her diet.

The Milkshake hitmaker is going through a clean-living phase and has been sticking to unprocessed foods in a bid to boost her spirituality.

She tells Britain's Guardian newspaper, "It's just a personal thing, where I can take some time to talk to God. It's not like a cleanse where it's like, 'If I don't lose weight I'm going to stab somebody.'"

However, the detox is likely proving a challenge for the food-loving musician - she's fronting a new cookery show, Saucy and Sweet, on TV and is preparing to release a range of condiments called Feast.
