All Saints Talk Spice Girls And Methods Of World Domination

In the midst of an American tour and with one member expecting a child, the All Saints are once again blurring the lines of distinction between themselves and the U.K.'s most popular music export, the Spice Girls.

The comparisons between the two groups have dogged All Saints since the band released its self-titled debut back in March, but as the girls recently told MTV News, they don't care much for the global assault to fame and fortune favored by that other all-female group.

The group is being sued by two songwriters who claim that they penned the song with the Saints' Shaznay Lewis in 1996, but were never credited for their work, and Lewis has said she intends to fight the songwriters' claim. No word yet on when that case may come to trial, but we'll keep you posted.
