Bungee jumping his way to No 1
NUTTY chart-topper BASSHUNTER has vowed to bungee jump in a pink bunny costume
if he beats DIZZEE RASCAL to No 1 in the charts this weekend.
The Eurotrasher, real name Jonas Altberg, promised to pose in a BORAT-style
mankini if his single Now You’re Gone stayed at the top for four weeks - and
he's a man of his word.
The Swede is head-to-head with the British rapper, with tracks All I Ever
Wanted and Dance Wiv Me battling it out for glory.
Jonas said: "I told a fan I'd do the jump when, not if, I get to No 1. I
just need to find somewhere to do it. Maybe Big Ben."
He also revealed he loves attention from female fans, who "squeeze my tits"
as they try and sneak past security.
"It's very flattering," said Jonas. "Two years ago I lived a
very quiet life surrounded by just a few good friends. But now I love the
attention, it proves the fans like me."

But the barmy musician reckons he doesn't like to abuse his status to get
freebies, as he thinks the 'don't you know who I am?' line is "lame".
Jonas then joked: "I do use privileges at airports though as I'm always
rushing around and doing things at the last minute.
"Of course I didn't hesitate to use that power for getting to The Sun
offices. I was standing on top of a taxi demanding to be here."
Despite his outrageous sense of humour, made all the funnier thanks to his
dead-pan expression, Jonas admits he is not badly behaved when it comes to
drugs, girls or celeb pals.
He said: "I don't hang out with celebrities... most are really boring.
I'm just here to make love to the world through my music.
"My only diva demands are hotel rooms with big double beds, not two
singles pushed together."
And for someone with enough balls to face crowds of thousands, there is one
place Jonas is afraid of - London's Oxford Circus.
He added: "After an hour on that street my stomach was twisting. There's
just too many things going on and it's all going so fast.
"I felt like a farmer who had come to the city for the first time. I
wouldn't survive in the centre for one hour, let alone one day.
"Maybe I just need to meet some friends my own age who can take me
shopping."
I'm sure there are plenty of young girls who'll be willing to take Jonas up
on that offer.
