If you don’t know this story, then wake up from the rock you’ve been sleeping under to absorb the main facts: Keisha, the last remaining original member of the Sugababes, has left/quit/been sacked. She has been replaced by the one we sent to Eurovision on that Andrew Lloyd-Webber show, Jade Ewen (apparently a friend of Keisha’s - eek!). Even though Jade Ewen had a solo record deal and has just released her debut single proper, My Man. Even though the Sugababes have just scored success with latest single and “new sound” Get Sexy, have filmed the video for new single About A Girl in LA, are attempting to “break America” with a swanky record deal Stateside and have even recorded the album Sweet 7, due for release November 23 with Keisha’s vocals.
AND even though it was meant to be Amelle, the newest new Sugababe, who was quitting after she went AWOL, following rumours that Keisha bullied her and she wanted to go solo after her success with Tinchy Stryder. Rumours of bullying also surrounded the departures of old Sugababes Siobhan and Mutya and oldest new Sugababe Heidi joining. Keeping up? The question is: should the Sugababes carry on?

Click “see more” to have your say… oh, and if you don’t see anything inappropriate in this image, please move along quietly now…

Who can believe that the sad, soppy, stroppy Ulrika was this year’s Big brother champion? She whined about missing her kids (what kind of mother leaves her 7 month old baby anyway?), moaned about the boys’ bullying, walked around with a face like a slapped arse (well… maybe she only has that one face!) and spent most of her time begging to be voted out – though don’t worry Ulrika, we could all see through that shallow glass exterior of yours (like Terry did) and we all knew that you were dying to win…

So, the Government has a target to reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy by 2010. As part of this it’s pressuring local councils to offer contraceptive jabs in teenage pregnancy hot spots (to girls as young as 13). These injections can prevent pregnancy for up to 3 months and could well be available in your school. teentoday.co.uk’s seen adults discussing the issue - but let’s hear what the people who this actually involves have to say - click “see more” to speak out
