Jessie Malakouti updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (August 26), talking about what happened to her song ‘Trash Me’, which received attention after Britney Spears released a song sounding suspicously like the track called ‘If You Seek Amy’. More recently, the song was covered by ‘The Hills’ star Heidi Montag - apparently without Jessie’s blessing. The former Shut Up Stella singer seems to point the finger at Max Martin for lifting the song after she went to Sweden to work with the famed producer for a few weeks. Malakouti writes:

A couple of okay songs came out of the trip, but I didn’t have the same connection with the unmentionables that I did with Xenomania. So I signed to Xenomania and began working on my debut album.

Fast forward a few months, and a little tune called Trash Me “If U Seek Amy” comes out by Britney Spears, which was funny enough stolen written by these same Swedish unmentionables I had thought were my friends. Of course, Britney being on a major label was able to do something I could not do, go to radio with my song go to radio with her song, and thus ruin any chance I had at releasing my ORIGINAL material. To add even more salt to the wound, Heidi Montag decides to murder cover my song, and gets more recognition than I ever did for my own art.

So you see people, “Trash Me” has become a bit tainted for me, and to be honest a bit old!

Jessie Malakouti is pulling one lucky fan out of the crowd each night on her UK tour with The Saturdays to film a webisode from the stage and possible hang backstage. Check out the first video from Caitlin at Newcastle City Hall filming Jessie, the crowd, and getting pulled out to the middle of the stage (looking petrified) during the former Shut Up Stella member’s performance, below.

Jessie Malakouti spoke about her nightmare of a day at London’s Heathrow airport on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (January 29), furious after being arrested and detained several hours for not having a work permit since she was visiting the country to perform. The former Shut Up Stella singer tells readers:

Yesterday I flew back to London, after my 12 HOUR flight (as if that wasn’t bad enough) I get to immigration, where the immigration officers decide that I am violating paragraph 16 of schedule 2 to the 1971 Act, and then arrest me under paragraph 17! (No, I am NOT MAKING THAT UP-)

WHY YOU ASK? So did I, and unfortunately I wasn’t given an answer for over 5 hours…

First they took me to baggage claim, had me identify my bags, then they went through each and every item inside, (panties included) after that they took me to some security room in the back and strip searched me, took my finger prints and a mug shot!!!!

When I asked the pathetic excuse for a man AKA the chief Immigration officer what my rights were, he laughed at me and said “Oh the AMERICAN girl wants to know if she has any rights?” He then put his finger in my face and told me to shut up and watch my “attitude” as he escorted me to what was basically a fu**ing cell!

Jessie Malakouti checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (September 30) while in London, England. The former Shut Up Stella singer writes:

I’m writing this blog from the freezing freaking city they call London Town - curled up in my blanky, sipping P.G. Tips and staring out the window and wondering why the fu** I can’t adjust to this time schedule as it is day 3…

Other than my severe jet lag, I can’t really complain… Seriously, I have the coolest job ever, I get to travel the world and make music- Um, duh?

I’ve been @ Xenomania with Brian and Miranda and the rest of the crew all week, writing, recording, taking meetings, hanging out with rockstars, WAIT - BACK UP??? DID SHE SAY “ROCKSTARS”? Yeah, only JONNY MAHER… yes THE SMITHS JONNY? MODEST MOUSE JONNY? and um some little ‘ol band called THE PET SHOP BOYS - but it’s really no big deal, ;) Syke.

Jessie Malakouti weighed in on last night’s MTV Video Music Awards on her blog at MySpace earlier today. The former Shut Up Stella singer writes:

Ok, is it just me or did the MTV VMA’s totally fu**ing suck?

Other than seeing Brit Brit smile, it was all very dull…
Can we say SUPER LOW BUDGET?????
And what was up with that “Stage”?

I was so excited because so many of my favorite artists were performing tonight, but the whole time I was watching all I could think of was how it was such a let down.. I won’t name names, but a lot of the performances were weak…. Granted, I can’t talk - I’ve never played the VMA’s, but you better believe next year I will be, and my performance will be a hell of a lot more exciting than 97% of what went on tonight… I’m so sick of how “safe” the music biz is right now, it’s really falling apart - Suits aren’t taking chances which is why we all hear the same damn 4 songs on the radio…. I personally cannot even listen to top 40 anymore, this may sound funny but I’ve been bumping Coast 103.5! hahahaha!!
