Talking of 'hits albums to promote' and 'mouthing off to journalists', Girls Aloud has been having a go at that poor Pete Doherty.
First Nadine questioned his musical talent: "He's supposed to be this musical genius, but has anyone heard his singing? I've heard a Babyshambles album and it was like: 'What am I listening to!?' We could make a record that sounded like that, but could he make one that sounded like us?"
Then Kimberly questioned is iconic status: "I guess that if you like brown teeth and mouldy fingers, he's your guy".
Which all seems very unfair and, frankly, completely uncalled for.
