'Exhausted' Jones to take year off

Norah Jones is planning to take 2008 off - after working herself to the point of exhaustion last year.

The singer released a new album, 'Not Too Late', in January and spent much of the year touring to promote the disc.

She also found the time to squeeze in her acting debut in director Wong Kar Wai's movie 'My Blueberry Nights' - and she admits her heavy work schedule has left her in need of a break.

"I'm taking some time off," said Jones. "I worked a lot last year, just between the movie and my new record and the tour."
