Andrea McVeigh of the Belfast Telegraph reports Tony Lundon of Liberty X admits the band’s recent chart topping single is a relief to their earlier days being labeled as ‘flopstars’ because of losing out to Hear’Say in the Popstars TV show. “It’s the best feeling in the whole world, and hopefully it means we’ll be around for a long time to come. It will also help a lot in getting rid of any of the ‘reject’ or ‘flopstars’ labels we’ve been dogged with in the past.”

Liberty X stopped by London’s Capital FM to chat about what they’ve been up to. When asked who the group would like to work with, Michelle Heaton responded, “I would have to pick Justin Timberlake. For artistic reasons only – I don’t fancy him, he’s not my type! I just prefer dark headed men rather than blonde, baby types.” The audio has since been removed.

Liberty have a new name after they were required to change the group’s name when a judge ruled that a Nineties funk band owned the original. A reader of the Sun came up with the name Liberty X. Their label owner Richard Branson said, “They certainly have the X-factor.”

BBC reports Mr Justice Laddie of the British high court has ordered Liberty to rename their group after a group with a small amount of success in the early 1990′s had the same name. Liberty and their label v2 are said to be currently in discussions on a new name, which may incorporate the word ‘liberty’. Read more.

The guys and gals from Liberty talked with Top of The Pops where Kevin from the band was asked if wild cheers from fans were because his fly was open… Kevin replied, “They wouldn’t be screaming – they’d be peeping to see something. I mean, no hints about my manhood or anything but it’s only two inches!” As for the band checking for themselves on the internet, Kelli admits, “There are shocking pictures of me, but they’re not me – they’re just my head superimposed over another body. The boobs were out of proportion!”
