JAMES BLUNT

Before his earnest falsetto topped the charts with "You're Beautiful," Blunt, 32, was a captain in the British army, even escorting the Queen. Up next: Summer tour for his album Back to Bedlam. What he brings on the road: "A bar of soap." Why so basic? "In the army you carry as little as possible. Most touring bands do the same." Beauty icon: "My father's in the army. He doesn't facial himself either."
