The Pussycat is Out of the Bag
Kimberly Wyatt, from the super group, The Pussycat Dolls, gave a revealing interview recently about the dramatic changes about to come to the girl-group. In the tell-all, Wyatt opens about the tumultuous relationship between her and the group’s leader, Nicole Scherzinger. She also goes on to say that her and fellow Doll, Melody Thorton, have been released from the group leaving Ashley Roberts and Jessica Sutta to join Nicole in the search of new girls. She said ,
“I’ve been a Pussycat Doll for longer. [Nicole] was one of the last to join. But we’d have to share a dressing room while Nicole would have her own. We’d be on the tour bus together but she wouldn’t come on and would get her own transport. I’m closer with the other girls because of the system that was in place.”
Kim was also fed up that she and the other girls were never getting to show off their vocal talent, saying, “it’s not true at all that only one of us can sing. Everyone in the group has a beautiful voice. We just weren’t showcased as much.” She also explains that if Roberts and Sutta choose to leave PCD behind, she wants to start a new girl group consisting of the four girls who will each share the spotlight equally. She explained,
“When it was made aware to me there would be changes in the group I didn’t agree with it. I love the girls so much. That was my family. So I hope to continue the movement. I’m taking my future into my own hands. We are looking at ways to keep working together. We all want to. But when we do that we’re not allowed to call ourselves the Pussycat Dolls. Right now there is a lot of controversy. I haven’t spoken to Nicole about it. She’s full speed ahead with her career. I always knew this sort of change was to come so there’s nothing to be bitter about. At the end of the day I always knew I was not the captain of the ship.”
Kimberly is now a judge on the new reality show Got To Dance and is independently recording an upcoming solo album. She says the changes and future of the Dolls will be announced once Nicole has finished her solo album and promotion.
But, if Nicole’s solo career finally gets launched, will Robin Antin, creator of the Dolls, continue with the group? She confirmed to MTV News that the early stages of a follow up to the girls’ sophomore album, Doll Domination, is already in the works. She says, “a couple of the songs right now that we’re working on are absolutely incredible. It’s definitely new and fresh, and I think everyone’s going to love it for sure.” When asked about the departure from Wyatt and Thorton, Antin wouldn’t confirm, only saying, “We’re looking at new girls. It’s phase three of the Pussycat Dolls because we did our first album, our second album, and now we’re going on to our third. We’re touring. A lot is coming up.” I guess that is still yet to be seen.
