Nicole Scherzinger catfighting with the other Pussycat Dolls
For months now, there has been grumblings and twitters about what has really been going on inside the super girl group The Pussycat Dolls and it’s lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. It all began when the group released their adaptation of the Oscar-winning theme song to the film Slumdog Millionaire entitled Jai Ho with the single reading “Jai Ho - Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger”. Naturally, eyebrows went up. If Nicole is part of the group, even leading it, then why did she have a “featuring” credit on the single? This prompted speculation of her leaving the group, but that pretty much died down as well. Then another single was released with the same “featuring” credit and now people were really concerned, including the other Dolls.
The whole thing exploded this past weekend when, while opening for Britney Spears‘ tour, one of the Dolls Melody Thornton screamed at the cheering crowd “Thank you for supporting me even though I’m not FEATURED!” You could practically hear crickets for a second, that’s how tense and awkward things became. Because everyone knew what she was saying - What are we, your back-up dancers? It’s true, the rest of the girls don’t even sing back-up in the new record, let alone leads in some songs. Nicole gets to do her own thing (commercial endorsements, ad campaigns, solo recording contracts) and the rest of them get nil. If I were them, I’d be pissed as well!
What is unclear though, is how much of this is actually Nicole’s fault. True she’s the lead singer of the group, even responsible for writing and arranging some of their songs, but word is it’s the record company that’s pretty much pushing her to the forefront. I’m starting to believe that with this recession, everybody’s doing cutbacks - even on girl group members! It’s probably one giant conspiracy, not to let Nicole break free of the group, but for the record company to dissolve the Dolls completely! My conspiracy theorist is coming out, and before I start spewing stuff about Area 51 and the Kennedy assasination, I’ll shut up now. All I know is that these five fine babes better stay together long enough for them to do a Playboy shoot or something. Or, come to think of it, they should split up, have their career’s go up in flames, and then they’d be desperate enough for Playboy! Until then, check out this site for some rather interesting pics of Nicole and other hot Hollywood celebs waiting just for you.
