Charlie's told to shut up! - December 2003

All the hard work promoting their latest chart-topping album and single seems to have taken its toll on the youngest member of Busted.
Charlie is in bed with a painful throat inflammation, pharyngitis, and has been told not to talk.
A spokesman for Busted said: 'Specialists have told him to only speak in an emergency. If he'd carried on performing, he could have developed dangerous nodules of his vocal cords, which signal the end of a pop career.' Get well soon, Chaz!

Ooh, cheeky! - November 2003

Is this babe trying to bag Busted's Matt?

Matt must have been surprised when he found a blonde girl's bum in his hands instead of a guitar this week!
The Busted boy was enjoying a saucy lads' night out at London's Stringfellows club, celebrating a chart-topping single and album, when a lively lapdancer jumped on his knee for a quick snap!
The scantily clad babe, called Tiger (possibly not her real name! loved cuddling up to Matt. And it looks like the cheeky experience has knocked his hat out of place!

Why has Matt banned bleach? - September 2003

Busted boy turns heads with his new dark do!

He can always steal the spotlight, but Matt from Busted stormed on stage at CBBC's Proms In The Park with a hairstyle that really got fans gossiping.
Gone is the bleached barnet, and in its place is a full head of dark brown with red spikes!
We love the mysterious dark style, but when we asked Matt's spokey if he'd given up the bleach because it's damaged his lush locks, she said he just wanted 'a brand new style for a brand new album'! But we were surprised by the red tips - after all, he called Nicola from Girls Aloud a 'ginger bitch'! So we thought he wasn't too keen on redheads!

Matt's trousers get Busted! - June 2003

His bum makes a break for it!

Matt from Busted showed his cheekier side at a concert in Brighton when he wore his trendy jeans so low that his entire bum was hanging out!
But it wasn't for fashion purposes - the belt on his trousers loosened as he threw himself into some trademark Busted jumps during You Said No and they quickly worked their way down towards his knees!
Poor Matt had to finish the song before he could belt them back up, but judging by the screams from Busted fans, no one minded that he'd nearly flashed his bare bottom at the crowd!
