HOLLY VALANCE - VALANCE AND MUM PLOTTED MANAGER SACKING

A court heard yesterday (18SEP03) how pop babe HOLLY VALANCE devised a plan to sack her manager with her mother.

The KISS KISS star told the Supreme Court in Sydney, Australia, that SCOTT MICHAELSON - who is suing for breach of contract and claiming 20 per cent royalties from her album FOOTPRINTS - offered her little assistance in her quest for fame, especially in her dealings with British record chiefs.

She said, "I have never received any scheduling from Scott Michael at any stage."

But Michaelson's lawyer hit back, claiming Holly and her mum "pulled the wool over his eyes" by continuing to involve him in the hitmaker's plans, while plotting to sack him.

The case continues.
