     Tash on her post-natal depression  
30/11/2003, 6:00pm GMT
Tash has been rather ill for some time, but she tells, The Sunday Telegraph that although she is suffering from post-natal depression, she is doing fine.  Tash said: "I'm not happy about it (being public knowledge) but, you know, it's just life.  And I think it's good that women realise it happens to a lot of us after pregnancy. It can be two months after; it can be two years after."  But Lil and Jen have been very supportive is helping Tash with the recovery: "The girls were supportive - I had to have time off.  I was able to take time out and I just chilled out with my family and friends."  When the news was broke to Lil and Jen, it came to shock as Jen revealed: "I think a lot of people didn't know you could get it so long after - I didn't know until Tasha got it. I thought it happened straight after birth. I think it was cool that it is in the press. It could help a lot of people get the proper help that they need."

     Out there and active!  
28/11/2003, 6:50pm GMT
Atomic Kitten are currently down-under and are in New Zealand, but how have they been?  They spoke to the New Zealand Herald Newspaper and Jen and Lil were present (Tash wasn't present as she was suffering from flu) about anything really!  Jen has ringtones on her mobile telling her who is ringing her!  The ringtone was that of Beyoncé's 'Crazy In Love': "That's how I tell it's my boyfriend.  But if either of the other girls phones, the ringtone is 'Sweet Dreams' by Annie Lennox."  The Kittens have noted that their music doesn't change much because they don't want to make too much of a fuss about it, they don't want to change their style suddenly and shock their fans, they want to produce good pop songs, Lil points out "We work bloody hard, though."  And then feels a real headache explaining: "My mum bought me an electric blanket, and last night, it dehydrated my brain."  Finally, the Kittens were asked the question how do they last?  Jen replied: "People can relate to us.  They say to us, if you can do it anybody can do it."  Tomorrow, the Kittens will be performing a gig at Auckland's Town Hall.

     Kittens support local campaign  
18/11/2003, 7:20pm GMT
Earlier last week, when Atomic Kitten were doing album signings of 'Ladies Night' at the  Woolworths Big W in Glasgow, UK, they were there also to support the Magic Million campaign organised by the local newspaper, Evening Times.  The campaign was for a new intensive care unit at the Yorkhill sick kids' Hospital. Speaking to the Evening Times,  The Kittens explained their support for the campaign, Lil said: "It's a good cause and it's for the right people.  It's really important that people help out."  Jen added: "We're right behind the campaign - everyone should get involved."  Many people turned up at the album signing including 400 school children.  One parent was impressed by the support Atomic Kitten were involved in: "They seemed really genuine and it was great to see Atomic Kitten giving their support to the Magic Million appeal."

     Jenny's straight talking!  
14/11/2003, 6:50pm GMT
It has been going on for some time, about Lil and Westlife member, Kian Egan (pictured far left).  Kian in an earlier report blamed Lil for the split.  But Jen decided it was time to get straight and speaking to Sneak magazine, explained what actually happened between Lil and Kian: "She doesn't need supporting - she's not a stupid girl and she knows that half the time these things in the press haven't even been said.  She just said, 'I went out with him for a bit, I really liked going out with him and thought he was a great guy.  It didn't work out and I've got nothing to say about him.'   If Kian's going to lower himself to say stupid things about her, then it's karma."

     The Kittens are not splitting!!!  
13/11/2003, 6:40pm GMT
There were recently rumours that Atomic Kitten were on the verge of splitting following speculation of Tash's absence from some promotional dates as she recovers from post-natal depression.  But Lil made clear that Atomic Kitten are not splitting as the three were in Liverpool yesterday to sign copies of their latest album, 'Ladies Night'.  She said: "We are still very close as a band and try and help each other out.  When Natasha was sick we were always on the phone to see how she was.  We couldn't get to see her much because of our work commitments, but we were always calling her to check on how she was getting on.  The papers were saying she's sick, she's not coming back.  If we were splitting we would tell you."
