'Sorry' Sugababe Singer Gets Driving Ban
Link to SkyNews
The singer, 26, was "sorry" for her "exceptionally silly" actions but would find it difficult to use public transport due to media interest, her lawyer said.
James O'Brien also said it would be hard for her to carry out work commitments and charity work for hospitals and cancer research if she was banned from driving.
But District Judge Ian Baker told the pop star: "One can take an awful lot of taxis for the same cost of running such a car for a year."
Berrabah, who was arrested on September 23 at the wheel of her Mercedes, was also fined 2,000 for driving with excess alcohol.
Mr O'Brien had asked for her early guilty plea to be taken into account and pointed out she was not carrying passengers and was not driving erratically.
She was under the impression the alcohol would have passed through her system by the time she took to the wheel early in the morning, according to the lawyer.
Police arrived and spoke to the singer, who said she was waiting for a taxi. The car arrived, the singer got in and the officers left, the court was told.
But just over an hour later, police were sent back to the address after reports that Berrabah was driving away, it was claimed.
Officers spotted the Mercedes heading towards Camden High Street in north London, Ms Maunders said, adding police recognised the singer.
After giving a positive roadside breath test, the pop star, of Wandsworth, south-west London, was arrested and taken to a police station, the court heard.
Ms Maunders said the "lowest evidential reading" was 58mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath. The legal limit for driving is 35mg per 100 ml of breath.
Mr O'Brien, speaking at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in London, said: "She realises this is an exceptionally silly thing to have done.
"She is exceptionally sorry for her actions. She realises it was wrong, she realises she has let herself down, and her family."
He added: "If she were to use public transport she would fear for her own safety and the safety of others."
If she completes a drink-driving rehabilitation programme by the end of June next year, the disqualification period will end on August 25 next year rather than December 8, the judge said.

Katy Brands Sugababes -TV Guide Blog
Katy Brands Sugababes
October 7th, 2010The show appears to be a sort of half-interview, half-parody affair, with the girls sitting down and having a chat before the brain-storming begins for the video concept. Katy asked all the burning questions and Heidi and her band members opened up about the numerous line-up changes that have threatened the band over the years. Katy’s style of ‘faux-interview’ wasn’t sensational or tabloid, and as a result got honest answers out of the singers. Girly chat done, it was time to think about ideas for the video. They agreed on the idea of ‘growing a Sugababe’ that would become a freak version in a new line-up. The girls were happy to poke fun at themselves in a parody of About a Girl (with a little Push the Button thrown in for good measure).
The video wasn’t as funny as some of the parodies Katy has done, but kudos to the comic who has managed to create a series where she gets to interview celebrities and poke fun at them without getting a black eye. That alone deserves an honourable mention! Next week, it’s Sean Kingston‘s turn and I can’t imagine what she has in store for him! It remains to be seen if she can get bigger names to join her on the show. I look forward to Lady GaGa joining in with this:

Tonight's TV highlights -The Guardian
Katy Brand vs Sugababes
10pm, ITV2
Impressionist Katy Brand returns with a new series that's part Rock Profile, part Fearne Meets. Make of that what you will. Here, the comic teams up with the Trigger's broom of British pop – Sugababes – to create a spoof video of the band's greatest hits – which might test even Brand's powers of impersonation, given how many different members there have been. This also provides a chance to interview the band. Future episodes include Sean Kingston, the Hoosiers and Mr Hudson.

Bruno Mars worked with Sugababes when in London
Mars: 'I'm a Casanova in relationships'

The singer, whose current hit 'Just The Way You Are' topped the charts last week, also believes he is a Casanova in relationships.
"I’ve been in a relationship before all this happened. I’ve got a good one," he told the Daily Star.
"I’m somewhat of a Casanova, though. I like the simple things like going for dinner."
The 24-year-old also revealed that he was inspired to write his 'Billionaire' collaboration with Travie McCoy while working with the Sugababes in the UK.
He said: "I was in London working with Sugababes and found it so expensive for everything, even orange juice.
"I was frustrated walking around Shepherd’s Bush with no money and started singing ‘I wanna be a billionaire’."
Mars releases his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans next year.

Amelle Berrabah Ashamed Of Arrest

Amelle Berrabah - Amelle Berrabah Ashamed Of Arrest
Amelle Berrabah Ashamed Of Arrest
Amelle Berrabah has spoken of her shame at being arrested for drink driving, insisting she didn't realise she was over the limit.
Amelle Berrabah is "ashamed" of herself after being arrested for drink driving.
The Sugababes singer - who was stopped by police and breathalysed at 5.33am on 23 September on her way to visit her personal trainer - claims she had no idea she was over the permitted alcohol limit, because she hadn't had a drink in six hours and had even been to sleep following a night out with pals.
She said: "When I got stopped, I was shocked. I couldn't believe it had happened. I was really ashamed of myself.
"I just had no idea I would still have alcohol in my system. I didn't know it was possible six hours later. The fact that you can still be over the legal limit several hours later should be better known to people. People need to be more aware that there's still a risk. I didn't know it could happen and I was caught out. I would never have driven if I'd known.
"I just feel I've let a lot of people down, and I've let myself down. I made a genuine mistake and people make mistakes every day. I put my hands up, but I just want to move on from it as quickly as possible."
Amelle has also dispelled rumours she and her boyfriend Tom Benn were rowing at his north London flat in the lead-up to her arrest.
She told heat magazine: "I have no idea where the story of the massive row came from - there wasn't one. Tom was trying to make me laugh about it, but I found it hard. The thing is, I've never been so happy. We're really happy and settled. He's my best friend."
Amelle will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on October 8.
