NICOLE SCHERZINGER CRAWLS BACK TO THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS....

Wow. Talk about a classic case of crawling back to the very hand that fed you along with your cat tail well and truly behind your legs! Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin has confirmed that Asia Nitollano is no longer in PCD.

Here's what she had to say in regards to Asia departing from the successful selling girl group:

"[Asia] really came in with the idea in mind that she wanted to go solo, so for her, being in a group wasn't her ideal thing," Antin said. "But she knows I rooted for her since day one. I'm her biggest fan."

She also confirmed that Nicole Scherzinger is *OFFICIALLY* BACK with the Pussycat Dolls:

"We're in the studio right now," Antin said. "Nicole is 100% back with us. She actually never left. She was working on her solo stuff and it's out there and people will hear that, but she actually wants to focus on Pussycat Dolls right now. We all want to. We're going full force."

This is A DAMN LIE! Before Nicole's solo attempt went awry it was announced that Nicole had left the group. That is why they were looking for a replacement, hence the CW reality show Pussycat Dolls Present which was done in search of a new group member (Asia being the winner). I guess they are trying to save face because Nicole's solo bid was a total failure. Not to mention that her music totally sucks! If I were the Pussycat Dolls I'd be like 'bitch, we don't want you back! You be thinking you were bigger than us to cut it alone when nobody gave a shat about your crappy solo album!'

Robin and the CW are also preparing a full-on media and marketing blitz to promote their latest reality series, "Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious", which will look for three girls to create the new group. "Girlicious," premiered last night and is similar to last season's "Search for the Next Pussycat Doll". Much like Season 1, the competition will consist of challenges that test the girls' performance skills. Lil' Kim will be back as a judge, and Mark McGrath is back as host. Guest appearances will include a spot with Nelly Furtado, the Pussycat Dolls themselves, and a member of N Sync but Robin refuses to say who. A new music video and album will be released after the show's April finale. The winners have already been chosen. I really look forwards to this. The first series was really entertaining and there's certainly a market for a new pop girl band. Thanks George.
