Girlicious Singer Pleads Innocent to Cocaine Rap

Natalie Meija proclaims her innocence in last March's drug arrest

Natalie Mejia may have done some "stupid s—t," but that doesn't mean she did anything wrong.

The Girlicious songbird pleaded not guilty Monday to a felony count of possession of cocaine to sell stemming from last spring's bust in Glendale, Calif., when police allegedly found the white stuff during a traffic stop.

Mejia, 22, was riding shotgun with a male companion, Peter Ascensio, when they were pulled over on March 9 for speeding. After officers learned Ascensio's license had been suspended, they searched his car and recovered more than a dozen baggies in her Gucci purse, and both were taken into custody.

 The "Like Me" singer, who found fame on the 2008 CW reality series Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious, which put together a manufactured girl group, spent a night in the clink before being released on $30,000 bail.

She's due back in court Sept. 2.
