Jade Ewen wants socks for Christmas. The 'About A Girl' singer - who joined Sugababes in September after former member Keisha Buchanan was ousted from the group amid allegations that she bullied her bandmates - said she wasn't really fussy about anything she is given over the festive season. Jade, 21, a former contestant in the Eurovision Song Contest, said: "I'll be happy with anything, even socks!" Her bandmate Amelle Berrabah - who was admitted to an Austrian clinic in October suffering from "severe nervous exhaustion" - continued with the clothing theme and said she'd like, "simple things... like pyjamas". The third member of the trio Heidi Range, 26, was a little more specific and has made a specific request

P. Diddy Thinks Sugababes Singer Jade Ewen Is Amazing

The 40-year-old music mogul told fellow rapper Jay-z he thought the former Eurovision singer looked “mean” and “amazing” in the girl group’s latest video ‘About A Girl’ – in which she appears in a pair of skin-tight leather hotpants.
A source said: “He thinks Jade is amazing and loves her voice. He’s hoping to be in London in March and will be looking her up.”
However, Diddy may find it difficult to get Jade’s attention – she has previously claimed the Sugababes’ busy schedule stops her from meeting men.
The singer - who joined the pop trio in September after founding member Keisha Buchanan left – recently said: “I still haven’t got a boyfriend. You know what is mad? You actually do not have the time.”
Jade rose to success through BBC talent show ‘Making Your Mind Up’, which led her to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song content.

The ‘About a Girl’ hitmakers feel like a completely different group since their recent line-up change and have enjoyed familiarising themselves with their older records and getting to know new member Jade Ewen
Heidi Range said: “We’ve been rehearsing loads and are enjoying it at last. We feel like a new band learning the songs again.
“I wish we could discuss what we are doing musically more but obviously there’s been so much else to talk about recently and we have to give answers.”
In September, the last remaining original member Keisha Buchanan was ousted from the group and replaced by Jade after relations with Heidi and Amelle Berrabah irrevocably broke down.
Although former Eurovision contestant Jade, 21, joined the Sugababes almost immediately after Keisha left, she admits it has taken her a while to settle into the girl group.

The sexy singer – who recently joined the pop band following the departure of founding member Keisha Buchanan – wants to date but is constantly busy with her hectic work schedule.
She told Britain’s Metro newspaper: “I still haven’t got a boyfriend. You know what is mad? You actually do not have the time. I think it was actually two weeks ago the last time I even saw my mum. You meet people all the time but you never get the chance to really get to know anyone. There are people around and there was someone and I thought, ‘Oh, he’s cute.’ But I haven’t had that chance to explore that avenue.”
The Sugababes – who are also comprised of Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range – are preparing for the release of their new album ‘Sweet 7’, which is due to come out in March 2010, and have been promoting latest single

Sugababes have revealed that the original lineup would not legally be allowed to use their name if they decide to reform. However, the 'About A Girl' trio claimed that Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan would still be able to perform songs from One Touch, the only album to include all their vocals. "They could still perform them, but they can't use the name because it belongs to our record company who we signed to," Heidi Range told Real Radio. "They wouldn't be allowed to use any of the songs except 'Overload', it would be like doing a cover," Amelle Berrabah said. (more)

Sugababes used body doubles in a music video when their feuding was at its worst. The British girlband - who had a line-up change recently after months of rowing and strained relations - were forced to hire lookalikes to portray them in the video for single 'About a Girl' because they didn't know if the band had any future. Singer Heidi Range explained: "The video was shot anyway, only using body doubles. They thought, there's no band but we still need a video to put out with this song, so the girls who were our stunt doubles became the stars." In September, original band member Keisha Buchanan was ousted from the girl group after months of feuds and tension
