Sugababes commess continues

Well ... that didn't take long.

Just a day after founding member Keisha Buchanan was kicked out of the Sugababes, the group was in the Santa Clarita desert outside of Los Angeles ... WITH new member Jade Ewen, shooting their next video About A Girl.

Jade ent even had a chance to recover from jet lag before she had to be hoofing it up in leather in the desert sun.

Meanwhile, former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan tried to put on a brave face the other night in London, just hours after being kicked out of the girl group of which she was a founding member.

However, according to reports, she very publicly broke down in tears at a London Fashion Week party, sobbing that "it's too much" and that "everyone thinks she's a bitch" and had to be comforted by former Destiny's Child Michelle Williams and Oritse  Williams from British boy band JLS.

And of course, anti-Keisha rumours are already leaking out from 'sources close to the (new) Sugababes' , with someone telling the Daily Mail that Keisha offered them an 'Amelle or me' ultimatum and it backfired.

Hm... how convenient that these rumours are coming out when backlash is coming for ousting the only founding member left.

Sugababes passa passa

Lawd. The Sugababes in a mess.

Ever since Amelle Berabah pulled her disappearing act week before, rumours and commess have been flying around the long-lasting British girl group.

First, there came word over the weekend that Amelle had quit the group because of her unhappiness after her rumoured row with Keisha Buchanan.

Then word came that Eurovision contestant Jade Ewen was set to join the girl group to replace Amelle.

However, founding member Keisha said that there was no truth to that rumour, telling News of the World:

"It’s not true she’s joining. She’s a friend of mine but no, I’m not a liar.  It’s completely false that’s the honest to God truth. One hundred per cent.”

 “There’s the three of us in this band and no one is joining.”

 But... it looks like the only one who didn't know what was going on was Keisha as she has been basically booted from the group which she was a founding member of (and writer of many of their hits).

Not only that, Jade is joining the Sugababes... but to replace Keisha!

Today, came that news plus word that she will be leaving the group and going solo. Not that she sounds too happy about it...

She posted a message on Twitter which read:

 

'Dear Friends I'm sad to say that I am no longer a part of the Sugababes.

'I've had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life.


'I have nothing but positive things to say about the girls and I wish them the best of luck.


'I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this.


 

 

 

'Sometimes a break down in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things.


'I would also like to point out that I have always supported the girls and they have also supported me.


'Remember my drunk pictures out with Amelle, supporting her on her success with Tinchy Stryder… Oh the shame… But what a fun night we had.


'Now I'm going to take some time to focus on me. I've been in this band for 11 years and I have achieved so much.


'I have a great family and friends who are behind me 100% and at the age of 24, I'm now going out into this world on my own…


'Although i'm nervous… I'm still very excited on what lies ahead.


'I want to thank the Sugababes fans and my fans for all your support and all who have never judged me, but accepted me for who I am… The feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motor mouth… lol

'This is not the end… but the beginning!!!!

 



'Thank you always… Keisha xxx'

Damn. Dey ent had to do you so, though Keisha...

Sugababe Keisha Buchanan: I'm not a bully

What a piece of passa passa... Sugababes' founding member Keisha Buchanan had to leap to well... her own defence today via Twitter.



 

This is after her bandmate Amelle Berrabah buggered off for several days-  to the point that her family feared she was missing.

And the rumour is that the reason Amelle went AWOL is because she had a huge row with Keisha over her UK No.1 collaboration with Tinchy Stryder (no, we've never heard of a tinchy either but the UK celeb scene is like a whole different world).

Anyhow, after Amelle skipped out on two back to back performances in London and Glasglow and couldn't be reached, her family feared she had been kidnapped and sent police to her home. The suss is that she told them she was fine but just needed to get away from the band after her big fight with Keisha.

However, Keisha has denied it all strenuously, tweeting:

A completely made up story about me bullying Amelle, not being supportive, blah blah blah...

'In the past, I've let members talk c**p about me and tried to laugh it off because I know the truth, my friends, family and MOST of all God...

'But not any more. I may come across as a hard nut sometimes, but I'm actually really sensitive and it destroys me to think that people today are going to read that and believe it.

'They see me as the longest standing member and assume that I'm the b**ch who causes people to walk, and its totally untrue and unfair. All I've ever done is work my a**e off, trying to keep the dream alive, because I love the fans and my job.'

The thing is, fellow Sugababe Heidi Range said since Wednesday in Scotland, that the real reason for Amelle's no-show was that a friend of hers had been in a serious car crash and Amelle was "broken up about it".
