Rita Ora might need an earpiece to remember her lines but she’s just gone and signed up for two sequels to Fifty Shades of Grey.

The first movie of the uber-sexy franchise isn’t even out until Valentine’s Day next year but she’s already signed up for two more outings as Christian Grey’s adopted sister Mia.

‘Music is obviously my main focus in life, but the movie was planned for when I had time to focus on it,’ she told The Sun.

Rita stars in 50 Shades alongside Jamie Dornan as Christian and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele.

It’s no surprise she’s hanging around as Jamie recently admitted how he and Rita like to have a singalong on set.

Rita revealed last month how she had to have an earpiece in while filming to stop her fluffing her lines.

She told Access Hollywood: ‘I had to have someone in my ear on set telling me what to say before I said it because I was honestly like so nervous I forgot everything that I had learnt.’

“I don’t own a second of my life, so much so that my mom is scheduling in dinners,” Rita Ora — the blonde-haired, red-lipped British chanteuse — said, speaking from the Cannes Film Festival. “It’s been insane.”

Indeed, it’s been a whirlwind for the 23-year-old Ora, who has been globe-trotting nonstop to promote her latest single, “I Will Never Let You Down.” But in the past few weeks, whether it has been from a party or on stage, Ora has been diligent in promoting something else: her own clothing line. A close look at her Instagram — with her 2.1 million followers — shows the singer sporting an array of Adidas items, from hoodies and track jackets to shell-toe sneakers and beanies.

In the same vein as Pharrell Williams, who unveiled his partnership with the German activewear brand in March, and following fellow Brit designer Mary Katrantzou, Ora revealed today that she would be the first female artist collaborator for Adidas.

“I’m a massive fan of the brand,” she told WWD. “I grew up working at a sneaker store when I was 16 and am a huge sneakerhead. It’s so cool that I’m able to do this with a brand that I sold when I was younger.”

The line will come in five different capsules rolling out with three global launch days: Aug. 21 for the “Black” line; Sept. 4, for the “Pastel” and “Colorblock Packs” lines, and Nov. 1 for the “Spray” and “Roses” lines. The items will include footwear, apparel, outerwear and accessories ranging in price from $30 for a beanie to $500 for a leather varsity jacket.

The collaboration will go on for three seasons until fall 2015.

The “Black” line — based off of Ora’s London look — will be sold exclusively through selected Adidas Originals stores and on their Web site. Items will include a leather jacket with glow-in-the-dark tooling, a transparent rain jacket, a boyfriend jacket with reptile-embossed leather and wool, and a new pair of sneakers.

“Rita is, first of all, an amazing person and colorful and outgoing,” said Josefine Aberg, design director of Adidas Originals, on why the company decided to collaborate with her. “She has a great way of mixing fashion and streetwear and has a big love for the brand, and it was obvious that we needed to work with her.”

Rita Ora has revealed details of her new single.

‘I Will Never Let You Down’ serves as the singer’s brand new track and features Calvin Harris.

“I can’t wait. I’ve been working on my new album for about a year,” She told Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1. “The song I’m going to release features an incredible talent in Calvin Harris. It’s called ‘I Will Never Let You Down’.

“I actually think it’s one of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard, in my mind.”

Asked what it was like working with her boyfriend Harris on the song, she insisted: “Honestly, it was so natural. I wouldn’t have done it if it didn’t make any sense. I was never really against [working with] people I’m involved with [and] doing something personally.

“We were sitting at home, he started humming and then I started humming and then we hummed together!”

Discussing her forthcoming second album, Ora revealed she has collaborated with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, adding: “We’ve got some really exciting stuff with Macklemore… there’s a lot of surprises on this record.”

The star’s debut LP Ora topped the charts in August 2012 and spawned the hit sings ‘RIP’, ‘How We Do (Party)’, ‘Shine Ya Light’ and ‘Radioactive’.

Meanwhile, Ora was confirmed alongside Paolo Nutini as part of the first wave of acts for this year’s Big Weekend, which takes place in Glasgow on May 24-25.

RIMMEL LONDON has announced that it is collaborating with singer Rita Ora on a limited-edition make-up collection which will launch next year. The range will include lip and nail products.

“I have always loved Rimmel growing up and it is so exciting for me to be able to work with such a cool brand,” said Ora. “I am absolutely obsessed with make-up and being adventurous with colours, so when I was given the chance to make my own collection with Rimmel it was like a dream come true!”

Rimmel has previously collaborated with Kate Moss on a range of lipsticks, and boasts both Moss and fellow model Georgia May Jagger as its celebrity faces.

“Rita is a real London girl and uses the streets of London as inspiration for her songs, like Rimmel uses the London Look from the streets as inspiration for its products,” said Rimmel’s vice president of global marketing, Friedemann Schmid. “With this new collection we are combining both the London street vibe with Rita’s amazing style.”

The collection will launch in February 2014.

Rita Ora has revealed plans to make “a bit of a stir” with her new album.

The singer is currently working on the follow-up to her 2012 debut ORA and wants to be more honest in the new material’s lyrics.

“I am definitely trying to make a wave and cause a bit of a stir,” Ora told Capital FM. “I’ve really built confidence these past three years.

“I can’t wait to be more honest on this record with my love life, things that I love and the people that I want to work with.”

She added: “There’s lots of hip-hop legends that I would really love to get on this record.”

Ora previously went out with Kim Kardashian’s brother Rob and is currently dating Calvin Harris.

After it was announced last week that Rita Ora is to be the new face of Madonna’s clothing line Material Girl, the 22-year-old pop singer is hoping that a duet with her idol could follow.
“I would die if that happened,” she tells Mandrake at the #DKNY Artworks party at Lambeth Fire Station. “I would be the happiest girl on the planet, but I’m never going to ask her. I’ll have to just dream one day she might.”
Ora says she got stage fright when she met the Like a Virgin singer to do the shoot. “When I first met her, you could see in the picture I was so nervous but she was so nice,” she says. “I was told Lourdes was a fan, and she was really, really sweet and told her mum about me.”
