GIRLS ALOUD - CLARKSON'S FIGHTING TALK

Songwriter ALISON 'BETTY BOO' CLARKSON has challenged British singer CHERYL COLE to a fight after the GIRLS ALOUD star branded her a liar. Cole, 23, accused Clarkson of deliberately seeking publicity after she fuelled rumours the band was to split. But Clarkson, 37, - who penned tracks for the girl group's first album Sound Of The Underground in 2003 - has hit back. She says, "Yes! I need the publicity? "Silly old cow. We need to have fisticuffs together."
