Just last month, word got out that The Pussycat Dolls officially called it quits–leaving many to believe that bickering and backlash towards lead singer Nicole Scherzinger’s popularity triggered the break-up. Well according to the group’s founder Robin Antin, the Pussycat Dolls are not breaking up, instead they’re getting a major facelift. She tells MTV,

“There’s all these crazy rumors: Are the Pussycat Dolls breaking up? Everyone asks me. And the answer is no. The Pussycat Dolls are not at all breaking up. I’m the creator of the Pussycat Dolls and I own the brand. I’m the first one; I would be the one to say, ‘OK, it’s over.’ It’s so not.”

As for the group’s lineup, she mentioned that Nicole is still in the group. However, she didn’t reveal who’s been replaced. She adds,

“Nicole is going back in the studio. We’re working on new music right now. There will be a few new faces in the Pussycat Dolls. I’ve been really putting that out there. I’m really excited about it. Inside every girl, inside every woman, is a Pussycat Doll and I always want to bring in new faces to really show there are so many Pussycat Dolls out there. It isn’t about one forever. So I’m excited about that. It’s Nicole and a few … a couple new faces. Some of the girls want to go and do their own thing. We’re moving on. We’re excited. 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.”

Hm..wonder who’s been given the infamous pink slip? Could it be Melody?! I guess for now we’ll just have to wait and see. As for the other chicks, I don’t even know their names.

Before Day26 found themselves unemployed, they made a smart decision to drop Diddy. Well, the reality TV group insists that although Diddy’s no longer their daddy–they still got a lot of love for him. While the boys are currently in the middle of leaving Bad Boy, they’re already thinking about colloborations for their next album. According to Que, they want to work with eerrbody! He tells MTV,

“Some artists we wanna work with are Jay-Z, Lil Wayne. Adding,”Eminem is doing his thing. Kanye, Diddy-Dirty Money. We wanna get everybody. Anybody who has any skills, we wanna work with them.

Don’t they realize that they’ve lost any chance of having a flourishing music career?

For a while there’s been talk that members of The Pussycat Dolls were jealous of lead singer Nicole Scherzinger’s popularity. Word is the tension between the kittens has gotten so bad that they’ve decided to break up. Apparently, the kittens are set to announce what many have already speculated in the near future. A snitch reveals to Page Six,

“It is war. They have broken up for good. Adding, “None of the other girls are speaking to Nicole, who they believe took the limelight, then went off to do her own thing.”

Back in April, kitten Melody Thorton went on off at their concert in Phoenix, Arizona about Nicole’s ‘featured’ status on their singles “Jai Ho” and “Hush, Hush”. Then the ladies decided to take a break from performing together which fueled further speculation that they were indeed breaking up.

Well like the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end”. And besides nobody even knows the names of the other chicks in PCD. Nicole is the Beyonce of the group, while the other chicks are just there to serve as her backup dancers.

**UPDATE**

The Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin issued a statement to Hollyscoop insisting that there is no truth to the rumor whatsoever and that the girls and Nicole aren’t beefing. The statement reads:

“The Pussy Cat Dolls are very much ALIVE and there is NO truth to the silent treatment statements. Nicole and the Dolls have ALWAYS been close. Nicole is and always has been a strong creative force within this group and I cherish the way we collaborate. The Pussycat Dolls have proven their success over many years and will continue to do so. The PCD brand has evolved and has continuously grown since day one so look out for new music, new concepts, new faces and more hit songs!”

Yeah okay Robin…we don’t believe you. You need more people!

Wondering if the Fugees will ever get back on stage together?! Don’t hold ya breath ’cause it ain’t gonna happen…ever! According to Wyclef, a reunion would just destroy the “myth” of the Fugees. He says,

“To me, they’re (Fugees) great and they’re gonna always be great. But the Fugees, it’s better that it leaves the myth vibe. Like The Score is a myth. When you hear it, it’s a myth. It was done in the basement. Like you don’t wanna go from there to do a sequel and you’ve destroyed your complete myth.”

Although Wyclef has no plans to reunite with the Fugees, he doesn’t have any ill feelings towards the group’s frontwoman, Lauryn Hill. In fact Wyclef goes on to praise her as being one of the best in the music business. He adds,

“When I met Lauryn she was 14. Til today, I’ve worked with a whole lot of women in the studio…her talent surpasses talent. She’s the best rapper, she’s the best singer. It’s all equal. It’s not like she’s gonna sing a song and when she rhymes she’s gonna slack on it.”

Forget the Fugees! When is Lauryn going to get her act together and put out some sh*t? The game misses you Miss Hill!

Word is Ashanti and Nelly are the latest Hip-hop couple to call it quits. These two supposedly ex-lovebirds managed to keep their relationship a secret for a hot minute until Nelly blew the whistle and finally admitted that Ashanti was indeed his girl. Earlier this year, talk of marriage was even swirling around after Ashanti admitted that a wedding was “absolutely in the cards” for them. According to the NY Daily News, Nelly wasn’t ready to settle down with Ashanti and commit to just only her. Snitches say that Nelly has moved on and found himself a new piece of arm candy. Word is video vixen Melyssa Ford is the new woman in Nelly’s life. Apparently, they’ve been spotted spending a lot of quality time together.

Damn, I guess four years meant nothing to Nelly seeming as though he’s already wifed up another broad.

Let me find out Kanye West is a homewrecker! Word is the Louis Vuitton Don is to blame for swirl couple, Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian calling it quits. Apparently, Reggie wasn’t feeling the text messages Kanye kept sending his girl. Kanye’s constant texting led Reggie to question Kim about it which ultimately ended in a big blow up and consequently jealousy issues arose in their relationship.

A snitch reveals, “Reggie saw text messages, on Kim’s phone from Kanye West and flipped out on her. The texts referenced a night they hung out, how much fun he had, how hot Kim was, and more racy things that got Reggie’s imagination running.” The snitch adds, “They realized there were trust issues on both sides, and couldn’t go forward.”

And of course, both Kanye and Kim’s mouthpieces remain mum over this juicy piece of information. It was speculated that Reggie and Kim broke up because they spent too much time apart. Seems like that was just   a cover up!
