Just when you think you know someone, they change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. It's just part of this big old crazy rollercoaster called life. Take Dappy for example. Just a few years ago he was leaking pictures of his penis onto the internet and having sex with all the groupies he could gather in his soft, childlike hands. It was a dream come true or so he thought.

Nowadays though, he's a different man. He's got two kids, one named after ice-cream and one named after hot chocolate, a girlfriend to produce more if he needs them, and he's even trying to learn the meaning of words and metaphors and possibly even the latin names for flowers. As you can see from the Tom, Dick and Harry metaphor, perhaps not very well, but he's trying nonetheless.

One step at a time though, Dappy. One step at a time. Thanks to NOW magazine for this chance to look at the changes occurring in a sensitive young man's life. (It works best if you read it to Dry Your Eyes by The Streets):

"I've made mistakes. I've cheated.

“All it does is make you look like a weak person, like you're desperate to get more women because you need more attention.

'If I just gave myself to everyone, I'd lose my mystique - you can't be available to fuck every Tom, Dick and Harry."

“I knew that if I kept on going with these one-night flings, Kaye [his girlfriend] would leave me."

“It's so much stress to get her back, all just for a cheap thrill. I haven't cheated for a whole year now.”

He's so changed. If only we could say the same for Tulisa. It's safe to say they've both got a lot of growing to do, but then again, don't we all?

Don't we all.
