Twincredible

FORGET what you've already read about pop's hottest twins...because it's all Ver-WRONG-ica.

That's the message from bombshell chart beauties Jessica and Lisa Origliasso.

As The Veronicas, the incredible Aussie girls have taken the UK Top Ten by storm with their debut single Untouched.

But the 24-year-old twins have been a bit taken aback by rumours about their love lives.

Why? Because they reckon the stories simply aren't as WILD as what's really going on in their private lives!

"A lot of stuff is made up about us," dark- haired Lisa purrs as she sits next to bottle blonde Jessica in their london hotel suite.

"But the truly interesting stuff about us is what's real - and it's MUCH better than what does get written about us."

The girls won't comment on rumours they're dating brothers from American boyband Carney - but Lisa says they're both fed up being labelled as stereotypical dumb party girls.

"I'm meant to be a maneater, but I'm really the shyest girl around men you can possibly meet," adds Lisa with a smile.

Another rumour the waiflike pair also want to knock on the head is that they suffer from eating disorders.

"Yes, we're petite little girls," laughs Jessica. "But we're like giants compared to our mum - she's really tiny. We're conscious we're role models, so it's frustrating that we're labelled with something so negative, when we're not."

Lisa, the chattier of the girls, adds: "You wouldn't say we had eating disorders if you saw us tuck into a roast lamb at the pubs in London. With mint sauce and gravy? Oh yeah! And a Guinness or two."

The twins left Brisbane for the States when they got a record deal in 2006, naming themselves The Veronicas after a scene from cult comedy film Heathers.

They say the biggest problem of their overnight success so far is getting people to take them seriously, especially back in the States.

As sexy twins making pop music, they look every inch a record company's marketing dream. "And we were born on Christmas Day," Lisa points out. "We're just too good to be true, right?" But Jessica insists that writing their own songs on their album Hook Me Up, to be released here in September, was no big deal. "When you think about who writes most big pop hits, it's weird," she frowns.

"It's some 40-year-old man in the middle of nowhere in America, writing what he thinks teenage girls will like. We're more in touch with what girls really like.

"It's better in Britain, because you've got singers like Lily Allen, so pop can be credible here. But in America, we just don't seem real. You see people go 'Wow!' when we say we write songs."

The girls pour their heartbreak over past relationships into their songs - like Revenge Is Sweeter, written by Lisa about her ex-boyfriend, singer Ryan Cabrera, after he left her for Elvis Presley's grand-daughter, Riley Keough. "I wrote about what happened as if it was a diary entry," she says. "It ended up word for word. It's crazy that those feelings are out there in the world but, hey, it was therapeutic to write."

Jessica admits being so personal has got them into trouble with some of their former lovers.

"Some of the guys involved know the songs are about them," she grins. "But if we want to tell the world our story, they can suck it!" she yells, raising her middle finger.

As well as making music, the girls want to write films one day. But would they write their life story for the big screen?

"The story of The Veronicas?," says Jessica. "Nah, the world isn't ready for that yet!"

NEW single Untouched is out now. The Veronicas go on tour in September.
