Amelle Sugababes Goes Batshit Crazy

4:11PM Clem Bastow | When we read this piece about Amelle Berrabah allegedly going nutso after an argument and smashing up a car, we can’t say we were that surprised – after all, it could’ve just been pent up stress following her boyfriend Freddy’s vicious machete attack at Christmas. However, we weren’t prepared for the downright Springer-esque list of reasons why you might call Amelle “troubled” and get away with it: Amelle’s Sugababe bandmates Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range, have so far stood by troubled Amelle who as been at the centre of a number of highly-publicised incidents since joining girl-band, the Sugababes, in 2006. Just a few weeks ago, boyfriend Freddie Fuller, 25, was left for dead in an horrific machete attack. He is still recovering in hospital from the incident which took place on Christmas Eve. Before that Freddie was cleared of allegations of raping Amelle’s sister Samiya, 20. And another sister Zakiya, 34, was accused of stealing cash and credit cards from patients and colleagues at the hospital where she worked. The Sugababes new single – Denial – is out next month. All well and trashy, but we think one of the photos accompanying the story really says everything that needs to be said (Amelle’s in the middle): Case closed! More »

Sugababes Heading For Another Line-Up Change? Obligatory “Round, Round” Gag Goes Here

10:55AM Clem Bastow | Just when you thought they’d settled on the “ultimate” Sugababes line-up, it seems all is not well in ‘Babeland, with reports suggesting that the newest member, Amelle Berrabah, is not pulling her weight – and that the group’s “people” have been holding secret try-outs for possible replacement members as a result. Hold on, infighting within the Sugababes camp, have we all gone mad? Are the planets aligning or something? Those girls love each other! A source said: “Keisha and Heidi are the ultimate professionals when it comes to their career. They have worked hard for everything they have achieved. Amelle doesn’t seem to take it as seriously. When the girls were recording their latest album, Amelle kept arriving late to the studio. They had blazing rows over timekeeping.” If the whispers are true and Amelle does get the boot, that will bring about the fourth Sugababes line-up since the OG days of Siobhan Donaghy. We reckon they should become the UK’s female equivalent of Menudo and just keep that door revolving for eternity! More »
