My News Booth

It’s settled, Keisha Buchanan is over her little fib with her former Sugababes colleagues, especially her long time friend Mutya Buena… or that’s the general idea she’s trying to confirm. Keisha Buchanan is apparently going to be working with her former band mate, Mutya Buena. She wrote the following on her twitter page: “I’ll hopefully be working with mutya on my album! Lets see if i can get her attention 4 3 seconds first lol She’s a busy bee. I think we both agree that we didn’t get on, we were 12 when we met and sometimes we would argue lol. She’s been lovely 2 me. In fact, we have met up which was nice. She knows its Bull:-) She hasn’t aged though, lol, she looks great.” Well, it’s nice to see these two are getting along so well… maybe they’ll end up getting in the way of the other two. After all, this may exactly be the outcome Keisha Buchanan is trying to exact.

Sugababes are down right furious with the organizing committee and jury of the BRIT Awards and have threatened that they would forego next’s years BRIT Awards if they are not nominated.

And they have good reason to do that as well, they have an impressive CV that includes six UK number one singles, selling 5.5 million albums in 10 years and breaking two Guinness world records. But for all their achievements they have yet to be nominated even once.

Singer Amelle Berrabah said: “I’m telling you, if they don’t nominate us this year, that’s it, I’m done. I’m not going. They should sack all those old men on the board and leave it to the fans to decide. They don’t know what they are talking about.

“Our song ‘About You Now’ sold almost as many singles as Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ – yet she was up on-stage and we got no recognition.”

The Sugababes have won one BRIT – for Best Dance Act, and this category is longer in place and they won it in 2003 – but the group’s stand on this one is that this award does not matter to them as they do not classify themselves as a dance group.

We all crave for attention don’ we.

Relations in the Sugababes camp have never been the sweetest in pop. But at the afterparty for their triumphant Royal Albert Hall gig on Thursday, bandmates Heidi Range and Keisha Buchanan didn’t swap a single word.

Heidi, Keisha and Amelle Berrabah dazzled on stage before hitting new London club 20. Heidi sported purple, while Amelle wore black and Keisha arrived in stripes.

But Heidi shunned the VIP section where Keisha and Amelle were and instead clung to her TV host fella Dave Berry in the main bar.

One reveller at the $40,000 post-gig bash said: “I don’t think Heidi and Keisha said a word to each other. They stayed in different rooms. People tried to bring Heidi into the VIP room but she stayed outside all night then left without a goodbye.”

The Sugababes have a history of bust-ups, with ex-members Siobhan Donaghy and Mutya Buena both casualties.

And they all look so sweet and innocent . . .

Sugababe star Keisha Buchanan was jealous of “beautiful, blonde, stage school” band mate Heidi Range when she first joined the band – and “made her life hell”. Buchanan, 23, admits she was rude to Range because she had been to stage school unlike the other members. Being jealous is something that girls are very good at, it’s like jealousy runs in their veins all the time, they cannot see someone more beautiful and attractive come close to their boyfriends or for that matter they just do not like to face competition from females but they do like taking on competition from both men and women. Keisha don’t need to feel bad about what she did to her bandmate because what’s done is finished, she cannot turn time around and rectify her mistakes. But what she can do is apologize and make up. Jealousy is something like an emotion when it’s there you cannot control it. Since she has admitted that she was bad to Heidi it means somewhere she has realized her mistakes.
