SUGABABES: Hi Heidi

Keisha: This is not the end!

Sugababe's emotional message to fans after shock exit.

26/09/2009

THE new SUGABABES are ditching their solo careers in a bid to crack America - with the help of JAY-Z.

The girls are so desperate to show a united front that AMELLE BERRABAH, right, and new member JADE EWEN have put their solo albums on freeze.

And to make sure the girls - who I have dubbed the Nu-Babes - hit the ground running, Jay-Z has said he will oversee their new album personally.

The band are signed to the rap mogul's record label Roc Nation. Jade said: "It's going to be wicked to do a collaboration with him. The solo stuff is going on the back burner. I'm going to focus on this opportunity."

The girls are already getting on after KEISHA BUCHANAN'S shock departure. She was in the dark about this week's line-up change but aims to bounce back with a solo career.

Jade revealed that new bandmate HEIDI RANGE slapped her bum moments after they met - in a music video they shot in LA.

She said: "I literally said hello to Heidi and the next minute she's slapping me on the a**e. We're getting on really well."

I hope they really succeed, just to annoy Keisha. I really am that spiteful.
