Not that there's anything tasteless about it, mind

When life gives someone else lemons, the Sugababes see an opportunity to push their lemon-style drinks stall.

Despite having had little or no previous connection with him, the band have grabbed some coverage by offering to sing for Richard Hammond, the Top Gear presenter who suffered terrible injuries when he crashed his car last week:

Amelle said: “Richard is a cute bloke with a great smile — of course we’d sing for him.

“I love Top Gear. Richard is a great presenter and JEREMY CLARKSON is brilliant too.”

Keisha added: “Richard is really popular. It was a shock to hear about his crash.

“If our singing can do any good we’re happy to perform.”


We like the way Amelle stresses they like Jeremy Clarkson - so if he has a major, life-threatening injury at some point in the future, at least they can claim that they've always liked him, and it doesn't look like they're a crowd of ghouls gathering round any bedside with a twenty-four hour news channel at its side.

It's such a rotten idea anyway - who, when in hospital with a massive brain injury, would want strangers at the end of their bed singing "Hole in The Head"?

While I'm no fan of the Sugababes, they were asked about singing for him, specifically, and then quoted without the context of the question. They weren't running around randomly shouting that they'd sing for Hamster in the hopes a newspaper was listening.
They're still crap though.
