AS an original member of one of the nation’s most enduring girl groups, Sugababes’ Mutya Buena has topped the charts and duetted with Amy Winehouse and George Michael.
Now the Push The Button singer is preparing to spill all about her career — as well as her secret heartbreaks and behind-the-scenes battles — in an eye-popping autobiography.

I can reveal the book, called Real Girl after her 2007 solo album and No2 single of the same name, will be out later this year.
It will tackle the truth about what went on with girl group Sugababes in the early Noughties before her departure and replacement in 2005.
But I’m told the deeply honest book will also see the notoriously private star address health struggles and incidents in her personal life which will shock even her biggest fans.
A source said: “Mutya has been in the spotlight practically her whole life and it’s not been an easy ride.
“She was on Barrymore when she was just nine and hit the big time in Sugababes when she was still a teenager.
“Lots has been written and said about her in the past but she is turning 40 this year and she felt like it was the perfect time to reflect on her life and set the record straight.
“It has been an emotional process because she has delved into a lot of trauma, which she has only ever spoken about to those who are closest to her before.
“But Mutya hopes the book will bring her closer to fans and help people who have had similar experiences in their personal lives.”
The original Sugababes line-up, also featuring Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, are now back together and will tour the UK in April.
They have also been back in the studio working on new music, which is expected to come out in the coming months — 25 years after their debut album One Touch was released.
Even after all that time, no one can accuse Mutya of taking it easy.
Keep it brief, Rob
IT’S been 25 years since Robbie Williams wore these tiger pants in the video for his third No1, Rock DJ.
But he was looking just as trim when he slipped them back on for an Instagram snap this week.

Robbie has a few extra tattoos these days, and his hair has gone grey, but I’m sure those famous hip gyrations are still just as smooth.
He certainly looks better like this than as the CGI monkey that played him in new biopic Better Man.
Make-up moan for Pam’s mum
PAMELA Anderson has been going fresh-faced during awards season but there’s one person nagging her to dig out the make-up again – her mum.
The ex-Baywatch star is flying high after a critically acclaimed turn in film The Last Showgirl and her big return on screen has coincided with her decision to reflect on society’s beauty values – not that her mother agrees.

Speaking to Times Radio, Pammie said: “I’ve always known that beauty comes from within, and that physical beauty is perishable. I’m experimenting and doing what I think is right, right now.
“And she’s like, ‘Oh, please, when is this gonna end?’ She makes me laugh.”
The star added: “There’s a time and a place, and I love make-up and glamour.
“I just feel like this is a chapter for me, that I’m trying to figure out who I am.”
Pitbull unveils new gigs
THE Bizarre team were lucky enough to go to Pitbull’s sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena on Friday – and now fans have two more chances to see him, too.
Because there was such huge demand for the US star’s concerts in Dublin and London, he has extended his Party After Dark tour to include a gig at Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena on June 8 and a return to London’s O2 on June 9.
His concerts are made all the more fun by a viral social media trend which sees fans dress up like the On The Floor rapper in a suit and bald cap.
So if you do land a ticket when they go on sale on Friday, you’ll have to start planning your outfit.
On both nights, he will be supported by It Wasn’t Me singer Shaggy.
Check out Rio and Co
FASHIONISTAS must have thought they had taken a wrong turn and ended up at Wembley when they showed up to Burberry’s latest catwalk show, only to find a load of footballers there.
Ian Wright and Rio Ferdinand were at the London Fashion Week event on Monday, as was Wales star Gareth Bale who was joined by wife Emma Rhys-Jones.
