Comments (0) Add to My Stories Their album hits the shops this week and the Sugababes appear to be on fine form ahead of its release.
The girls took part in a photoshoot for the new album, Sweet 7, and showed just why they have become one of the UK's most popular girl groups - despite several changes to the line-up.
Dressed in black and posing in front of a bright yellow-orange background, the girls looked amazing pulling a range of fierce poses for the shots.

Taking the plunge: Amelle Berrabbah wears a dress with a plunging neckline in the raunchy shoot
Amelle Berrabah, 25, wore a black bikini-style top with a plunging neckline and mirrored detailing, while Heidi Range left little to the imagination posing in a revealing dress with a huge slash across the midriff - the top section appearing to be little more than a bra with a zip down the front.

Meanwhile, new Sugababe Jade Ewen wore a thigh-skimming, glittery black number for the shoot.
Sweet 7 is the first LP to feature Jade Ewen who stepped in to replace Keisha Buchanan following her departure in September last year.
The end: According to a recent report Amelle, Heidi and Jade have agreed to end the Sugababes if any one of them leave the group

Jade, 21, who came fifth in the Eurovision Song Contest last year, re-recorded some of the vocals on the album that had already been laid down by Keisha.
Speaking of the new record, Amelle said: 'The sound just emerged for us. We wanted to make the album as Sugababes sounding as possible and wave the British flag at the same time, we've pushed ourselves and stepped it up.
'We're working with a new stylist this time round. Different image. Raunchy. Taking our clothes off basically!'

According to a recent report Range, 26, Berrabah and Ewen have agreed to call time on the Sugababes should any of them leave the band.
Heidi Range, who is engaged to TV presenter Dave Berry, said: 'We've said if something happened again we wouldn't carry on the band with someone else. This is it. It's taken time to adjust, but we're really happy now.'
The girls have been known to occassionally play at events that don't cater for a typically 'pop' audience and this year is no exception.
New look: Amelle recently spoke about the band's raunchier image saying: 'We're working with a new stylist this time round...Taking our clothes off basically!'
Amelle, Heidi and Jade will headline the Gaymers Camden Crawl on May 1.
The chart-topping trio will open the two-day gig at venues around London's Camden Town, while Lostprophets and We Are Scientists top the bill on the closing night on May 2.
Other acts lined up for the London stages include Mercury Music Prize winners Speech DeBelle and Ms Dynamite, I Blame Coco, Roots Manuva, New Young Pony Club and Gang Of Four.
Sweet 7 hits shelves tomorrow.

Amelle Berrabah opens up about her fella


Amelle Berrabah opens up about her fella
By Dean Piper on March 14, 2010 1:44 AM in My Sunday Mirror Column


Sugababe Amelle Berrabah has been secretly seeing a new man - and she couldn't help but confess all when we caught up this week.

Amelle, who has been single since splitting with her long-term beau Freddie Fuller a year ago, told me she's thrilled to have found new boyfriend Tom Benn - a former model who now works in management.

She gushed: "He's absolutely lovely. We've only been official for the past few weeks but it's great. Tom gets the industry and he gets me - which is a real bonus. He's romantic and he even took me to The Ivy for a Valentine's Day date. I'm glad I found him."

It's great to see Amelle moving on after a turbulent six-year romance with traveller Freddie, who almost lost his arm in a savage machete ­attack outside a pub.

But it wasn't just Amelle who opened up about her love life. Both Jade Ewen and Heidi Range were itching to talk about their fellas.

New band member Jade says her union with ­EastEnders star Ricky ­Norwood, who plays Fatboy, is going from strength to strength.

"He also understands the industry," Jade revealed. "In fact the same day I found out I was the new Sugababe he found out he was in EastEnders.

"We grew up together in East London and I've known him for years and years, so it felt very natural when we got together."

But both girls are going to have to pitch in to help Heidi in the run-up to her summer 2011 ­wedding to long-term boyfriend Dave Berry!

Over a champers lunch at the Metropolitan Hotel on London's Park Lane Heidi told me: "I'm scared! I haven't had time to go and look at venues. I want to do it as soon as possible and go and try some dresses on.

"Being engaged to the man I love is the best feeling ever. He chose the ring all by himself - and it's a good one."

The band are stronger than ever with brilliant new ­album Sweet 7 hitting stores tomorrow.

They've signed with ­Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records and tell me they are ­planning to jet off to the States and Asia.

The Sugababes ­consistently deliver the goods with their music - and their future is clearly Sweet...

Sugababe Heidi happily showed off her diamond engagement ring last night.

The beaming blonde bombshell performed alongside fellow Sugababes Amelle and Jade but stole the show when host Graham Norton asked her to give the audience a glimpse of her dazzling rock.

Dressed in a stunning turquoise mini dress the singer couldn't hide her excitement for her forthcoming marriage to dishy TV presenter Dave Berry.

Her handsome man, who proposed to her on New Year's Eve whilst holidaying in India, can breathe a sigh of a relief as his choice of ring has obviously gone down very well.

However the sound of wedding bells might be a way off yet as the hot trio are set for chart success with their latest sizzling album Sweet 7.

Oh what a night! The UK AMAs went down last night at London’s Royal Festival Hall and of course DH! was there to take in all the action and get the latest from all the stars and hopeful nominees!

U.K’s pride and joy Jay Sean was the star of the evening as he took home four awards for Best Album, Best Male Act, Best Urban Act and Best Video! He was handed over the award by Sugababes who also graced the stage and put on a hot performance!

It is safe to say that this year’s UK AMAs were definitely one of the best so far!

The red carpet started with Mumzy Stranger and Preeya Kalidas promoting Kalidas’ new single "Shimmy," which features Mumzy himself. Mumzy stood next to Kalidas while he told us "she is the next Asian female breakthrough artist." Sounds promising!

American Idol's Anoop Desai, Chipmunk, Jaya, Imran Khan and newcomer JK also stopped by to chat to DH!'s Jugtar and Arun and P on the red carpet to talk about their projects and hopes about the event!

Amar was presented with the Best Female Act award as she has been releasing one great video after the other, and now her album "Show It Off" is climbing the charts.

Punjabi sweetheart Miss Pooja, though not present, won the award for Best International Act. We can only assume she is India working on another video or her film.

The rest of the night’s performances by Imran Khan, RDB and others kept the crowd entertained, but the two things that really got everyone hyped were Jay Sean and Sugababes!

Everyone was screaming with excitement when Sugababes hit the stage, performing to one of their original tracks remixed by producer Mentor; a performance brought to you by yours truly DesiHits!

The babes returned to the stage with DH!’s own Arun to present the Best Male Act award to Jay Sean. Jay caught up with us on the red carpet to tell us that he loves to be home with his boys and who can blame him? He walked away with four awards!

What an exciting night for winners and hopefuls alike! Check out our video from the big party last night and share your thoughts!

Babes will split if another quits




By NADIA MENDOZA

Published: 12 Mar 2010

THEY are as famous for their line-up changes as they are for their music.
But now the SUGABABES have confirmed they will SPLIT if another girl leaves.

HEIDI revealed the band would no longer exist if she, JADE or AMELLE bit the dust.

She said: "We've said if something happened again we wouldn't carry on the band with someone else.

"This is it. It's taken time to adjust, but we're really happy now."

Heidi added: "It was another chapter in my life and now we've moved on."

Newbie Jade revealed to Company magazine that joining the band has not been an easy ride, saying loyal fans were unwilling to embrace her.

"People shouted abuse at me in the street. I remember thinking, 'Maybe I've made a mistake,'" she explained.

The former Eurovision star also insisted she is not dating ASTON from JLS - because"he looks like my little brother".

Jade added: "If I had a choice, I'd go out with someone normal - like a plumber."

AMELLE also confirmed the trio are grateful to be a threesome and rid of ex-bandmate KEISHA.

She said: "We tried bloody hard (with Keisha) for over a year, but it got worse.

"When you're treated a certain way for so long, no matter what the hell you do, there comes a point where you can't take anymore."

The frank star also spoke about Heidi's weight issues, saying she is "always on a diet".

Amelle said: "Heidi works out all the time - she almost has to, bless her heart.

"I'd never understood that before. When I ballooned, I was like, 'Heidi mate, I'm so sorry about complaining about how skinny I was.'

"But everyone has lumps and bumps. I've got cellulite, who cares?"

Company magazine hits shelves tomorrow.
