Sugababe Amelle Arrested For Beating Up A Car

Although it's an understatement to call Sugababes personality-free, Amelle Berrabah is the exception - but sadly she's got the personality of Phil Mitchell.

Amelle Berrabah was arrested late last week for apparently getting angry at her sister's house and beating up a neighbour's car. Although this is just the latest violent controversy to occur since Amelle joined Sugababes, she's strenuously denying these allegations.

When pushed for comment, Amelle tilted her head towards the sky, roared "Hulk smash! Hulk SMAAASH!" and threw a Land Rover into the sun.

Thanks to its ever-changing line-up, Sugababes have been through many incarnations. First they were stroppy little teenagers, then with the inclusion of that Heidi woman they became polished pop starlets. And since Amelle Berrabah joined Sugababes they've become the sort of snarling thugs that'd make Emily Nakanda from X Factor cack her pants in terror.

And most of this seems to be the fault of Amelle herself. Arrested last year for an apparent nightclub attack, Amelle Berrabah has a boyfriend who may have raped her sister and who spent the festive period getting brutally knifed, and that means that Amelle has a lot of built-up aggression to deal with. Where most right-minded pikeys would seek help from the screaming dot-eyed oracle that is Jeremy Kyle, Amelle has found another outlet to medicate her rage.

That's right, Amelle Berrabah has been arrested for fighting a car. And winning. Following an incident in glamorous Aldershot, Sugababes manager Mark Hargreaves released the following statement:

“I can confirm that in the morning of Thursday 10th January '08 Amelle Berrabah, was helping police with their investigation into an allegation of criminal damage to a vehicle. The allegation is being strenuously denied. No charges have been brought against Amelle and she was released on bail pending further investigations.”

Of course, if these claims are true, releasing Amelle on bail is by far the safest option. Lock Amelle up and there's no doubt that she'd reduce any prison to a mound of smoking concrete and twisted metal within minutes, but let her loose and there's a strong chance that she'd just run away to a deserted marsh and punch craters into the ground safe from harm.

While there's no doubt that Amelle's arrest will kickstart another flurry of rumours about her being forced out of Sugababes, it's important to remember that she hasn't been charged with anything and that she's a lovely person and a wonderful singer and please don't hit us Amelle. Not in the face. Not again.

And anyway, even if these allegations against Amelle Berrabah are true, so what? So she beat up a car. Big deal. Loads of people attack cars and they're all completely norm…

OK, bad example.
