Pussycat Dolls reach breaking point as Ashley tells fans 'we're over'.

The Pussycat Dolls spokesman was forced to deny they were splitting this morning after a bandmember broke down in front of fans.

Fans waiting outside the Dolls' London hotel claimed a tearful Ashley Roberts had confided: 'This is the last time we'll be in the UK as a band. We've broken up. We're sorry'.

The band have been plagued by rumours that they are due to split in recent months, allegedly over the prominence of singer Nicole Scherzinger.


Breaking up? Ashley Roberts leaves the Pussycat Doll's hotel in London yesterday, according to fans she was 'tearrful'

But a spokesman was quick to jump in and refute the allegation, saying: 'The girls are still together. They are in Beirut for a gig.'

Friday's gig in Lebanon is the last concert of the group's gruelling nine-month world Doll Domination tour.

Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page, Ashley's bandmate Kimberly Wyatt said she was optimistic about the future.

She said: 'I'm filled with love, understanding, and excitement for life. I can't wait to see what's around the corner.'

Earlier this month, Kimberly admitted there was tension in the group over Nicole's prominent role.

She said: 't's true, there has always been a lot of focus on Nicole which has been hard to deal with sometimes.

This group was created with a foundation, they knew exactly what they wanted and they had Nicole as the focus. Every video and stage performance that we've done, Nicole has been our leader.

'I wasn't in videos like I wanted and wasn't seen in the way I was hoping, which has been the same for all the other girls too.

'I don't really make any of the decisions, I'm in the group and can voice my opinions to a degree but at the end of the day it is a business and there are a lot of chefs in the kitchen that run the Pussycat Dolls.'

Injured: Jessica Sutta has been recovering in LA from a back injury since May

The American group have been performing at a foursome since May after Jessica Sutta injured her back during their Sydney show.

Jessica has been recovering at home in Los Angeles and said she was disappointed two weeks ago when doctors said she couldn't rejoin the tour.

The group's last single release Hush Hush, Hush Hush was billed as from The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger, instead of the previous Pussycat Dolls, which has reportedly caused tension within the group.

It is believed Nicole is planning to leave the Pussycat Dolls to focus on her solo career and finally release her long-delayed debut album My Name Is Nicole.

Several songs from the album, which was originally scheduled for release two years ago, ended up on the Doll Domination album last year.

Melody Thornton, who often has her own solo segment in the Dolls' previous singles, made her feelings known on stage in her native Phoenix, Arizona in April, when the group were supporting Britney Spears.

As each Doll introduced herself, Melody said: 'I want to give a shout out to my family. Thank you for supporting me...even though I'm not featured.

'Don't give up on your dreams. Don't let anybody stop you - ever.'

After her on-stage outburst, she was given an enthusiastic high-five by redhead Jessica.

Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page, Melody said: 'You know when you realise someone or something you have been involved in or with for a long time is completely beneath you and needs to be over! Yeah.'

Dismissing reports of a rift in a recent interview with the Mail's You magazine, Nicole said: 'We are like a sisterhood, a family. We know when we need to give one another space and when we need to have a good laugh.

'The girls are always there for me and vice versa but, for the most part, I have always been a quiet person who walks to the beat of her own drum, so I can often be found on my own because I am thinking about work all the time.'

Don't Believe The Rumors!!

Tabloids are tabloids. They make shit up to bring traffic to their sites. We won’t believe anything until there’s an official statement. Those are the same tabloids that said that PCD will perform “Lady Marmalade” for their tour when they didn’t or that they were staying in London for New Years when in fact they were in Aspen, Colorado doing a show.

I’m sure Ashley read those tabloids, released a statement on her twitter, but quickly deleted it. Unfortunately when your profile is public, the tweets you delete are still stored. Just search her screenname “AshleyLTMSYF” & you’ll find the following tweet:

Dance workshop London (27-07-09)

Kimberly Wyatt of the Pussycat Dolls dancing with the Cagelles from La Cage Aux Folles at her 'Bring Your Heels' Masterclass in London on Mon 27th July 2009.

Kimberly: Female First Interview

Kimberly Wyatt is well known as the stunning pussycat Doll who can strach her leg far over her head, and does so on numerous occasions, so with this in mind she’s decided to show us good old Brit’s how to do it too in a number of London workshops.

I caught up with Kimberly to talk about dance, life and of course, the uncertain future of the Pussycat Dolls after that Jai Ho cover….

Hey Kimberly, what have you been up to lately?

Hey! I’m good, I’ve been doing a couple of shows and things and during the rest of the week I’m going to do a bit of shopping and hang out with the rest of the girls and see a couple of shows here in London. I’m looking forward to having some time off in London.

You’re hosted some dance classes on Sunday and another today, what made you decide to do that?

Well my first passion in life was always dance and I had done a few classes for scholarship kids in Los Angeles and I knew I had to just reach out there and the first step of that was setting up my website Beautiful Movements and really living out my bigger purpose in life which is to inspire people and from that platform came another opportunity to teach a workshop in Australia and I jumped at it, then when I was coming to London I knew I had to do something for my fans here too because everyone is so amazing and have always been so receptive to the Pussycat Dolls and to me as an individual.

What will the eager dancers be up to during the day?


Well the workshop is really about living a wonderful lifestyle and always believing in yourself so the first thing we do is a warm up and an introduction of myself and my life story and then I go through the warm up and we do some walking across the floor which is why I tell the ladies to bring their heels because it’s so important for dancers out there who are ever going to work in the business are going to have to know how to dance and walk in heels and for any normal person out there who does business or is walking down the street and wants to turn head and shine with confidence then this workshop can help with that.

So, for someone with two left feet, what do you think is the best advice to them if they want to keep fit, but are too scared to go to a dance class in case they get embarrassed?

Well I think that’s the first thing in life that holds people back, whenever you want to accomplish anything you can’t be scared of what people might think, and its all about facing fears because when you face the fear and accomplish that goal, you realise that you can do anything in life!

Plus, in order to become a dancer then you have to know that ballet is the basis of all dance, so I would say that my advice would be to start with a ballet class and go from there. Listen to your teachers and understand what they’re saying to you and be in tune with your body. I think if you believe in yourself then you can do anything you set your mind to.

Tell us how you got into dancing in the first place and how did that lead you into joining the Pussycat Dolls.

Well I’ve been dancing since the age of seven and when I was dancing I did quite a few competition and conventions and I met wonderful teachers who gave me scholarships to New York and I would go in the summer to train there.

Once I graduated early from high school I flew to Las Vegas because I found an audition online for cruise ships and my first job at 17 was working on the ships all around the world but I soon found that I’m not very good at the seas and I get quite seasick so I looked for a job back on dry land and that took me to Los Angeles and I happened to get an audition for Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson’s reality show Newlyweds and that’s when I met Robin Antin who is the creator of the Pussycat Dolls and she asked me straight up if I would join the group and I had no clue it would land me the job of a lifetime!

I’ve been all over the world since then and met so many people and shared my love for dancing and entertainment and singing and inspiring others.

Aww, I love you already! But you’re just about to complete a 7-month tour with the girls, are you just exhausted now?

You know, it’s been like a whirlwind, sometimes it’s super gruelling having gone at it for so long, but there’s other times when you sit back and think wow, ive seen and accomplished so much and touched the lives of so many people it makes it all worth it.

Right now we’re all sitting down together and reminiscing about times that we’ve had and these past years together and understanding what a fun journey this has been.

So, what are you going to be doing with your time off?

Well there’s no time off when it comes to me! Whenever I have time to myself I work on my site, Beautiful Movements, and I’m always working on my writing and teaching classes as well as my own music and a fashion line and I should have a storefront open for Beautiful Movements quite soon which contains tops from my own art.

So will the clothes be Pussycat Dolls inspired and a bit raunchy?

Um, I would say it’s quite different from the Dolls and really comes from my own individual inspiration which stems from Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick. I love colour and anything that’s outside of the box and I even have body fader shirts which are like the old school ones which are heat sensitive and change colours which I’m so excited about because I always wanted one as a kid but could never afford it.


So, you know there are loads of girls who look up to you and plaster posters of you and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls all over their bedroom walls; so how do you find life as a role model?

At first I didn’t know how to handle it because I came to London and I’d be walking into the hotel and there would be people lined up outside to shake my hand and say hello and I’d be like; “why do you want to meet me, what have I done that make me inspiring to you?” it was just over the years of self-discovery that I because to understand that you own everything wonderful that comes into your life and it’s your choice as to whether you embrace being a role model and doing your best to be the example of leading a happy lifestyle, or you chose the latter.

I think that happiness is a journey not a destination in life and I try to live out that.

What has been the highlight of your career so far then?

Goodness, I think winning two VMA moonmen was so amazing. Not only for our music but for dance video and best dancing in a video, as I started as a dancer that meant so much to me, and being able to speak out on behalf of all dancers out there and letting them no we are what makes music look good and we’re the reason behind what makes every performance a blast to watch.

So what’s in the near future for you?

I have quite a few plans when I get back home to record some more songs and to write more blogs and developing my Beautiful Movements storefront with lots of different things that you should how fully be able to see quite soon.

I went on the site I love your tattoo which says.. Love life.

Thank you! I need my reminders! Life’s a journey and happiness is a journey and I try to live that every day, even if I’m brushing my hair and I see that tattoo I’m like “oh yeah, remember, it’s time to smile and live in the moment!”

We also noticed that on some of the Pussycat Dolls CD’s that Nicole is credited as ‘featuring,’ does this mean the end of the dolls as we know it?

The Pussycat Dolls has been such an incredible platform for us and it’s been such a light in our lives and offered us so many opportunities but at the end of the day it is a brand and a creation by Robin Antin and we’re just happy to have been a part it and I can’t say what will happen in the future because I don’t have a say. I am just so happy to be a part of it and I will ride the train until everyone makes me get off!

Kimberly on Loose Women (24-07-09)

Kimberly Blog: Beautiful Movements

I Am What I Am


I am what I am recited the drag queens from La Cage aux Folle last night at the Playhouse Theatre. I watched the show in admiration knowing the courage it takes to be yourself in a society that isn’t always compassionate for something they know little about. But still they get on stage night after night, face the odds stacked against them and shine like the stars they are. Couldn’t we all be so lucky? I am what I am, a statement so deep that reflects into the lives of us all.

I’ve had bumps in the road throughout my life and each time I fall down, no matter how long I’m down or how much it hurts, I always find the strength to get back up. When I brush off my knees and lick my wounds I become stronger and a little wiser each time. I move on with my life filled with much more awareness of the world around me. You can’t trust that everyone wants what’s best for you. Nobody knows your truth and passions like you do and nobody can live your bigger purpose quite like you can.

Don’t let the whirlwind of misery bring you down. Many people live a world of “Damsel in distress” thinking someone will come along and save them from their sorrows. Happiness can’t be found in another person. Waiting for someone to love you or believe in you will only keep you in the tower waiting for Prince Charming filled with false hope of a fairytale ending. The only person you need to believe in you, is you. Breathe life in and be your own fairytale.

Living your bigger purpose, owning your power and light and constantly growing isn’t always the easiest path but it’s the necessary path to happiness. I am what I am and that has to be good enough. I am love, I am compassion, and I am change. If others mistake me for anything other then what I know I am in my heart it’s their problem. We don’t need to prove to anyone that we are worthy when we know in our hearts we are.

When someone tries to have power over you they only succeed if you let them. Owning your power and spreading your light to every life you touch will make a difference. As we grow into the people we will become the lessons we take with us will shape our future. As the dying hands of sorrow grab the tuft of my dress, I stand tall. Charging forward and fighting battles with patience and understanding makes me who I am. Taking life into my own hands and allowing me to be my own savior is the change we’ve always hoped for.

The ladies of La Cage aux Folle are examples of freedom and self-expression. I’m not sure I would know who I am without it. Everyday pay attention to your thoughts and train them to not judge the people around you. When you are angry in any circumstance learn to forgive and take the lesson instead of the fight. “I am what I am," tell the world to get used to it.

Old Ballet Performance from Kimberly

Here's an old video Kim performing ballet.

Pussycat Doll Teaches Men To Move

Pussycat Dolls singer Kimberly Wyatt hopes her forthcoming dance classes in London can help boost people's confidence by teaching them to walk and move better.

Kimberly Wyatt is to teach men to move in high heels.

The Pussycat Dolls singer is set to lead a two-day dance course in London and has promised to show people how to boost their confidence by walking in the sexy footwear.

She said: "I find it amazing how you can tell how insecure a person is from their walk.

"Some girls don't know their left from their right. I will be teaching how to walk and dance in high heels. Guys can do it too - maybe not in heels - but they can improve their walk."

The blonde star also revealed she is planning to follow in the footsteps of her bandmate Nicole Scherzinger and work on solo projects, but insisted the girl band are not planning to quit.

She added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "I'm working on a solo album with rapper Baby Bash.

"It's a dance pop record and I'm so excited by it. It's not the end of the band though. It's the foundation for our solo projects. We are all independent girls but will always be the Pussycat Dolls as well."

Despite being excited by the dance classes and her solo album, Kimberly's ultimate dream is to break into movies.

She explained: "I loved movies like 'Flashdance' and 'Fame' as a kid and I'm glad that people are loving dance again. My dream is to star in my own dance movie."

Pussycat turns into a leopard

CLAWS may be out in the PUSSYCAT DOLLS camp, but NICOLE SCHERZINGER put on a brave face in London last night.

Or should that be a snooty one?

The lead singer, currently at the centre of an ego war with her gal pals, tapped into her wild side stepping out in a floaty animal print frock.

But her low-cut dress and shiny locks couldn't wipe the unflattering smirk off her face at the Alto Club in Soho.

Trouble started brewing for the When I Grow Up stars after their last two records were released under the guise of Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger.

Fellow Pussycats KIMBERLY WYATT and MELODY THORNTON have recently spoken out about the behind-the-scenes tension.

And despite the girls being in town ahead of their UK dates this week, Nicole added fuel to the fire by hitting the tiles alone.

Dolls Working On A New Album?

It doesn’t get ‘HARD’ER than this.

After A R Rahman made the American pop girl group Pussycat Dolls sing Jai Ho!, it’s Indian rapper Hard Kaur’s turn to make them sing a line or two in Hindi now.

The Brit-born Hard Kaur, who shot to fame with the song Glassy, and then went on to sing for films like Johnny Gaddaar, Ugly Aur Pagli, Singh Is Kinng, Kismet Konnection and Bachna Ae Haseeno, has been approached by the Pussycat Dolls’ agent to record a song with them for their new album.

Hard Kaur, who is also called the first female Indian rapper in India, told BT in surprise, “The agent told me that they were keeping track of my music and liked my work. I’m thrilled for sure. I already sent Pussycat Dolls the chorus I have written which goes on like ‘Move over, Hard Kaur is here’. They loved it and now we’ll be recording the song most probably in LA.”

But, she regrets she had to delay the Pussycat Dolls by almost five months because of the reality dance show she was a part of. “The video will release at the year end because I have other commitments and my US tour is coming up,” said the singer who intends to educate the Pussycat Dolls on all things Indian. “I will make them sing a few lines in Hindi, otherwise what’s the point of having a collaboration,” she asked. Hard Kaur also recently recorded a song with another American rapper Bizarre for the D12 band.

New Jessica Blog: Dear dolls and gents…


The last 2 months has been a road to recovery. This has been the craziest injury ever. It takes forever to heal. My doctor has decided it’s not a good idea for me to go on tour. I could further injure the bone and it could take longer to heal. It breaks my heart that I'm not going. I was so looking forward to it. :( I just gotta say, the girls have been amazingly supportive of me and I love them so much. It is a sisterhood... And I'm grateful I'm taking this journey with each and every one of them.

Anyway, thank you so much for all your love and support. I love and miss all of you very much.

Your pin-up…

Jess

Hope.

Hope is the appreciation for the experiences we have had and believing in the possibility of tomorrow. When we are able to control our realities and slow down, the evolution of life blossoms all around us. We open our eyes to the things that make us happy. Hope is the art of having appreciation for life.

By tackling the mind we are able to turn all negatives into positives. By choosing to live a positive reality we unlock our strengths under any circumstance. Our clear head is able to be calm, think things through, breath, ground, confront our flaws, and move forward in life. Growth from these ways of thinking is infinite.

Suffering can be necessary for growth. Many people reach a bottom or face death in order to find hope. Many still don't know how to make the choice. Continually testing yourself will open a sense of believing in yourself. Go hiking, take a fitness class, set your mind to something and see it through. That sense of accomplishment will shape you into a New You. Owning your own power is invigorating and will ensure that you go far.

The BM family gives me Hope. The ability to inspire others and in return be inspired gives me a positive outlook on life. BM constantly keeps me on track and dedicated to my spiritual self and an inner meaning I find in myself. Here I can be the example by living and being the person I choose to be. Here I make the constant choice to overcome all circumstances without the worry of judgement.

Hope has lead me to an array of life choices and changes. From the choices I make in food to the choices I make in my career and in my life. Understanding the simplicity of what makes me happy allows me to grab life in both hands, kiss it, and be thankful for everything I have and the journey to achieving the goals I aspire to achieve. I am me, as simple as that may be, I am life.

"Through hope I know anything is possible, through faith I accomplish my goals and conquer my dreams."

"Jealousy".

The ugly head of jealousy pops into everyone’s life from time to time. Learn how to control it, what jealousy means, and what it will do over time. In the search for happiness most everyone wants to find love. I can relate to that. But the only way to find the love of your life is to up your game in and out of a relationship. Attraction is on many different levels and there are many ways to attract the girl or guy of your dreams.

When entering a relationship everyone is always on their best behavior, only showing the characteristics we think the guy or girl will like in order to attract a potential mate. Once we start feeling comfortable, around 6 months or so, we develop an obscure feeling of entitlement to that person. Now the ugly head of jealousy begins to reveal as our true emotions start to show. Amicably we claim an identity of a professional detective.
Snooping through their stuff searching for clues, checking their email or phone for odd messages, and calling a million times when they are hanging with their friends. Every time the phone rings late at night we become alert, suspicious and ready to crack the case. Ultimately we are choosing to create our relationship doomsday. These negative emotions are red alerts to reevaluate your life.

Everything we feel towards other people, are reflections of what is going on inside ourselves. When our mind is out of control we project our insecurities onto others. The more you feel inadequate in life the more jealous you are prone to feel in a relationship. This mental state of feeling unlovable will create an instinctual threat towards anyone posing as a potential mate stealer in your own reality. Learning to control your mind is how to keep your jealous self in check.

Stability of the mind allows you to make positive choices in every situation. Our emotions are the vehicles of self-discovery. You have the choice to create an emotional roller coaster or become an independent and empowered individual. Which would you rather date? Connection, friendship, and the ability to grow together are secrets to relationship success. Be open and honest in every relationship and friendship. Whenever your mind gets the best of you practice putting your thoughts into words. Speak using “I” instead of “you”. “I noticed you stayed out late last night, I assume you were hanging with the guys, is their anything I should worry about?”

The more work you put into being the best you, you can be the higher your mate rate will become. Passion in life and acceptance in you will lead to endless conversation and smiles when interacting with others. Once you have cracked the case in loving life, everything you’ve ever wanted will quickly manifest into your positive reality. Don’t settle for less then your best and put your jealous self to rest. You are powerful beyond belief and have the ability to create whatever reality you choose. Be the detective in your own life and acknowledge what jealousy has to do with you. Crack the case and put an end to negative banter of the mind.

“You are the ruler of your own world and create your destiny”
