Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly left the Pussycat Dolls.
The lead singer of the raunchy girl group wants to become a huge solo star and plans to announce the split after the promotion of their latest album, ‘Doll Domination.’
The proposed split became apparant after the group’s version of ‘Jai Ho’ was released under the name, Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger.
Currently on their European Tour, Nicole performs their latest song ‘Hush Hush’ on her own while the other girls are off stage.
US blogger Perez Hilton told his reasons for the name of the releases, “The big reason most people believe is the Nicole has actually now LEFT the Pussycat Dolls but is still remaining with them until the ‘Doll Domination’ era is over.”
So far the bands record label, Interscope, has refused to comment on the proposed split.
Nicole has already gone solo once, releasing hit, ‘Baby Love’ as well as collaborations with singers, P Diddy and Timbaland.
The 30-year-old star has been working on her solo album for almost three years now, titled ‘Her Name Is Nicole.’ She plans to get back to the album when the tour is over.
Speaking about the delay of the album, Nicole, in September 2008, said, “Despite what other people might write, it was my decision, ultimately. I actually put some of my solo songs on the Pussycat Dolls’ new album, ‘Doll Domination.’ Everthing is all about timing. I believe it will come out next year (2009) and it will be able to coexist wonderfully with the Dolls’ album.
“It is completely separate from what you have heard with ‘Baby Love’ and ‘Whatever You Like’ and I am still working on it-that happens when you are perfectionist.”
Speaking recently to Billboard Magazine, Nicole said, “the current incarnation of the album is just in talks and in the writing process. I haven’t started recording yet.”
There has even been talks about Nicole recording a song with her current boyfriend, Formula One drive Lewis Hamilton. She said, “He thinks he can sing, I think that is my fault! We will probably end up in the studio together. That will be great.
“He knows the words to ‘Don’t Cha’ and is a big Pussycat Dolls fan so singing together wil be so much fun.”
