Title: Amelle confronts 'lying' journalist

Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has revealed that she told off a journalist who wrote a fictitious story about the group.

A national newspaper claimed the pop trio fell out at a charity fashion event last month, but Berrabah insisted the story was false.

"We had the best night ever!" she told DS. "[But]the next day I read in the paper that Heidi was sitting on the floor crying, me and Keisha were having a scrap and I was pushing them both out the way so I could get to the front."

The singer was so "wound up" by the article that she decided to confront the journalist responsible for it.

"I actually rang up the paper, which is something I never normally do, and had a go at the person who wrote it," she recalled. "I said, 'You're a liar!' and the journalist kept apologising."

Berrabah also admitted she "still hasn't got used to" rumours surrounding the Sugababes, despite being a member of the group for nearly three years.

Since this sort of ties in with this I thought I would share this.

I know it is just over a year since it happened and alot of us have moved on but I would like to share what my reaction was to that story about Amelle being replaced in the media.

The only reason it wound me up so much is due to the fact it was my 27th birthday and I really didn't expect to be made so mad with it. Usually I let things like that go over my head but on this occasion I took some personal action against the journalist and actually contact the head people who she works for and demanded she applogises to Amelle and the fans for printing such scandle.

This is the email Victoria Newton sent me a day or so after the event happened:

Dear Peter

Please, please do not be angry with me.
I got the information about it from forums,
it was made up. I am so so sorry for upsetting you
so much. I understand you have told my employers about
my conduct and I take full responsibilty for my immature
actions.

My job as a journalist enlists me to stretch the truth somtimes
but on this occasion I can see I over-stepped my marker.

I will send Amelle Berrabah and apology as well.

Again, my sencere applogies to yourself and any Sugababes fans.

I was glad her bosses made her do that, as far as I am aware she no longer works for the entertainment column but does still work for the media.

It was nice that they listened to me about what I said about it, wether or not she did actually applogise to Amelle I do not know.
