Our Pop Stars Just Can’t Compete With The British In Terms Of Scandal (Part Two)

The Sugababes have been a pop group unafraid of the odd drama. Despite the average age of group members being around 12, they’ve been around since 1998 and have seen more line up changes than TISM.

TISM?

Oh what, you’re going to dispute us on that? HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU TELL EITHER WAY! But yes, we lied for the sake of it. Let’s move on.

Amazing original member of the Sugababes Siobhan Donaghy left early on to pursue her own pop career (and her stuff, we wish to note, is fucking great), which meant some hot blonde bird named Heidi had to take over her duties. Then Mutya, another original member, skipped out to go solo, and the fetchingly named Amelle Berrabah stepped in.

But how long is Amelle going to last now it seems management are planning on making her choose between the group and her boyfriend? Her boyfriend, we should add, has been accused of raping her sister.

Barely 18 months after finding new member Amelle Berrabah, she is on the verge of being fired – unless she dumps her boyfriend Freddie Fuller.

Sugababes have been in meltdown talks over the past week and have now delivered Amelle, 23, an ultimatum – “It’s Freddie or us”.

Fuller is now on bail accused of raping Amelle’s younger sister Samiya, 20 – which will be heard in a trial later this year.

But Amelle has stuck by her man despite fierce pressure from her record label and management to dump him.

Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range are tearing their hair extensions out with worry.

It’s all a bit hideously Jerry Springer, isn’t it?

In Australian pop news, Dean Geyer still hasn’t placed himself inside Lisa from The Veronicas, and that chick who played the first of McLeod’s seventeen thousand athletic, farm loving daughters has released an album about her post-divorce feelings.

Wake us up when something truly gasp-worthy happens, please.
