According to a report in the Daily Mirror, the new-look Sugababes have been dropped by rap king Jay-Z’s American label, Roc-A-Fella, after poor sales of their last album. But that’s not the best bit. Apparently he’s in talks to sign Keisha Buchanan, the last remaining original member who was booted from the group at the end of last year. Just when you thought the Sugababes saga couldn’t get any stranger, it only goes and does. It’s enough to make you believe in karma.

In other news (ok, it’s not really news), I met American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert last night. He’s in town on a schmooze-fest of UK journalists, and I’ve never knowingly turned down free food and booze yet, so it was a match made in, well, Soho.

As anyone familiar with American Idol will know, he was by far the most talented performer on the show but presumably didn’t win because the US public might be able to elect a black president to run the country but not a gay man to win a TV talent show.

Not that it will make any difference to his career, I’m sure.

Anyway, he was very nice in a ‘working the room’ sort of a way and I got the obligatory out of focus photo with him.
