Sugababes

Let the battle commence! ... The ‘current’ Sugababes have begun fighting a legal battle over ownership of the bands name.
Earlier this year former band member Mutya Buena had applied to the European Trademarks Authority for ownership of the band's moniker.
The present lineup (consisting of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen.) have now filed a notice of opposition to Buena's claim, along with their record label Island Records.
In a letter to the EU Trademarks Authority, Universal's Island Records wrote that the “similarity of the goods and services” provided by Buena would mean there would be "a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public”.
If her application is successful, it would mean that she could use the Sugababes name on goods such as CDs, DVDs and books.
Can’t wait to watch this one unfold...
