Sarah Girls Aloud Swears She’s Not A “Pisshead” Anymore, We Feel Strangely Wistful For The Good Old Days

11:18AM Clem Bastow | Girls Aloud’s party girl Sarah Harding has told Bizarre that her wild-boozing days are over, confessing to our girl Victoria Newton that she doesn’t want to be known as “a slapper or a pisshead”. Harding also tries to blame some of her less flattering paparazzi photos (i.e. looking WAAAAAASTED) on the effects of being “hosed down”* by snappers. She says: “I can’t say I’m not a binge drinker. I do go out and drink and get photographed but I’m not always as wasted as people think. Sometimes I’m blinking because of all the camera flashes going off.” Jeez, Girls Aloud can’t let all their drunken, toilet-attendent-slapping, dodgy-bloke-choosing antics slip away from them; it’s rare to find a pop outfit these days who can combine entertaining off-duty antics with really good music! * “hosing down” is not just a Ghostbusters reference, it’s also pap-speak for the act of stunning and confusing a celeb with rapid and repeated camera flashes. They’re a civilised bunch, aren’t they? More »
