Paulini shacks up with a Diva

July 28, 2006

PAULINI Curuenavuli may be having a rough few weeks with family and relationship troubles, but at least she has her Young Divas bandmates to lean on.

In Melbourne yesterday for the Jeans West Celebrity Style auction launch, Ricki-Lee Coulter said the four Idol stars had become incredibly close and were helping Paulini in her time of need.

"We're all there to support her and she's taking the helping hand," Coulter said. "She's doing good."

Paulini parted ways with NRL star boyfriend Wes Naiqama this month after her family complained to St George Illawarra about a bruise on the singer's face.

The rocky relationship has also endured a row outside a club before the pair reunited. But now Paulini's family is suffering.

"Paulini has moved in with Kate (DeAraugo)," Coulter said. "We really have become almost like sisters. The amount of time we spend together, it's quite intense."

Coulter's handcrafted bling-adorned jeans will be auctioned with other celebrity designs on the Jeans West website next Friday.
