Girlband The Sugababes are being sued by founder member Keisha Buchanan - who is trying to BAN the group from using their name.

Keisha, who formed the band in 1998, has launched a legal bid to claim a stake in the Sugababes brand - which she says has grown into a multi-million pound business over the past 12 years.

Keisha - who was forced to quit the chart-toppers last September - has now demanded that the current line-up of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen call themselves something else or pay her a one-off sum which could potentially be millions of pounds.

i hope they have to change their names or pay. but then they should also pay the original members aswell then

Someone is a bit money hungry.

If she formed it then surely the name is her's and if she's not in it then it's hardly her group so I dont see why they should still be called the Sugababes, go her!

She should receive royalties for any sales of work done during her time in the group but nothing more. It's not her group any more and she no longer has anything to do with them except in history - there is no reason that any band ought to give any future profits to ex members regardless of how involved they were during their time.
