Pussycat Dolls' New Members Revealed 'So You Think You Can Dance' alum Kherington Payne and 'America's Best Dance Crew' runner-up Rino Nakasone-Razalan join the group.By Jocelyn Vena Pussycat Dolls Photo: tweetphoto.com Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin has at last revealed who will be joining Nicole Scherzinger in the group after the departure of three members early this year. On Saturday, Antin tweeted a photo of the new group. The four new members are Kherington Payne from "So You Think You Can Dance"; former Lakers Girl Vanessa Curry; Rino Nakasone-Razalan, a former Harajuku Girl and member of "America's Best Dance Crew" runners-up Beat Freaks, and former Girlicious member Jamie Lee Ruiz. Antin tweeted that the photo was taken after the Dolls performed at a private party. In January, Jessica Sutta left the Dolls to pursue a solo career, and Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts announced their departure in March. Both Antin and Scherzinger asserted that the other singers' departure group didn't mean the group was over. "PCD IS FAR FROM OVER! In fact round 3 is just beginning! STAY TUNED if u BELIEVE in PCD! Love you!" Antin tweeted. "Ooohh love you all! Keep sending me ur tweets, positive or not, it just shows u care! I knw there's a Doll inside all of you! I wanna hear!" The new members have also been posting their own Twitter messages about joining the group. "Thank you Everyone for the love and support!" Payne wrote. "It means the world to me/us! Love you all :) xoxo." Curry shared similar sentiments. "Thank you everyone for the supportive tweets!! The Pussycat dolls are ready to bring it hard for you guys!! muah :)" she wrote. In March, as Scherzinger was prepping for her turn on "Dancing With the Stars," she sat down with MTV News to discuss the group's new lineup. "[The change is] kind of inevitable, right? When it comes to girl groups, I think we did the best that we could for a good chunk of time," she explained. "We had an amazing time, and then people change and people grow, and sometimes things aren't right for them. We're all artists — just go and be creative. I love the PCD. It's been a blessing for me. I don't take it for granted, so I can't wait to do more music." What do you think of the new PCD lineup? Tell us in the comments!

'Dancing With The Stars': Nicole Scherzinger Delivers 'Pure Dancing Joy' After double-dance night, Niecy Nash and Chad Ochocinco disappoint the judges.By Kelley L. Carter Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough on "Dancing with the Stars" Monday Photo: ABC Once again, "Dancing With the Stars" front-runner Nicole Scherzinger and partner Derek Hough took the lead on Monday night. The Pussycat Doll grabbed the highest marks for her foxtrot. The night was a double dance night — meaning the pairs took the stage twice and received two scores. As usual, the judges raved about Scherzinger's performance, with judge Bruno Tonioli calling it "one-and-a-half minutes of pure dancing joy." Their second dance (lead judge Len Goodman said "there is nothing I can say to criticize" the dance), claimed a perfect 30 out of 30 (her first perfect score of the season) for their second routine, a '50s-style paso doble. Score: 59/60 The first couple to perform in the ballroom round were Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke, whose tango disappointed the judges. Goodman said he thought the football player needed more refinement. Tonioli commented that he thought the pair attempted emotional commitment but missed the slickness. For their second dance, they performed a '60s-era super-charged jive. The judges liked this routine a bit better, saying that it was high energy and entertaining. Carrie Ann Inaba told Ochocinco that this was one of his better dances. Score: 45/60 Niecy Nash and her partner, Louis Van Amstel, were the low scorers of the night. Their Viennese waltz failed to resonate with judges, who said there were too many odd transitions. Still, Goodman said he was pleasantly surprised and thought the dance had a "lovely floaty" quality about it. Their next dance was a '90s-themed paso doble. Tonioli said that Nash was a "scary mama" and liked that she threw herself into it, but he wasn't sure if it would end in disaster at various points in the routine. Score: 43/60 Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced the Argentine tango, a routine that earned her one of the night's highest scores. The judges loved her "so hot" routine, and Inaba said it was "fantastic." Goodman raved and joked that Andrews is a "dirty, dirty girl." Their next dance was an '80s rumba, which drew less than impressive reviews from the judges. Inaba said that the ESPN reporter doubts herself too much, and Goodman agreed, calling the entire dance "jerky." Score: 53/60 Olympian Evan Lysacek and partner Anna Trebunskaya performed the waltz, and Lysacek joked in rehearsals that "the waltz has no hip action. I love it!" The judges appeared to be mixed on the routine: Goodman said even though he thought Lysacek's footwork was great, he wasn't sure whether he liked it overall. For their second dance, they performed a futuristic cha cha, and Lysacek joked that his hips "will be better in the future." The judges loved their characters, with Tonioli calling the pair "Mr. Spock Meets Barbarella: The Next Generation In 3-D." Score: 53/60 Which couple was the best on last night's "Dancing With the Stars"? Who should go home? Share your reviews in the comments below.

Nicole Scherzinger Addresses 'Dancing With The Stars' Romance Rumors 'I don't even know where they get these stories sometimes,' she tells MTV News of reports linking her to partner Derek Hough.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Nicole Scherzinger at her "Dancing With the Stars" rehearsal on Friday Photo: MTV News Nicole Scherzinger and dance partner Derek Hough may have the kind of chemistry on the dance floor that gains them a large fanbase and high scores on "Dancing With the Stars," but the Pussycat Doll insisted it's strictly business. When MTV News caught up with Scherzinger at rehearsals for the show, she cleared the air about the romance rumors. "I don't even know where they get these stories sometimes," she said, a sentiment similar to one she tweeted about — even alluding to her actual romance. "Been reading the net & seeing the craziest stories ... Derek is like a little brother 2 me," she wrote. "Everyone knows how in luv & committed I am 2 [boyfriend, race car driver] Lewis [Hamilton]!" In fact, in regards to their latest routine, she compared their chemistry to "two old jolly sailors chumming around." So do these "chums" get up to any shenanigans in their downtime? "We don't have too much downtime from rehearsals, to be honest with you," she said. "Right now, it's crunch time. It's kind of a stressful period." With Hough out of the picture, is there anyone else on the show she has a crush on? "I have a softness in my heart for Buzz [Aldrin]. I kind of have a crush on him," she shared. "I haven't [told him], but I just show it to him when I hug. He's just the sweetest guy and his wife is the cutest thing ever, people. I don't know if people at home see it, but whenever Buzz is onstage or anywhere near her she's always so excited." What do you think of Nicole and Derek's chemistry? Tell us in the comments!

Nicole Scherzinger Brings 'Slapstick' To 'Dancing With The Stars' 'We're taking it old school,' she says of performance plans with partner Derek Hough.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Nicole Scherzinger at her "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal on Friday Photo: MTV News Last week Nicole Scherzinger scored the highest of all the celebrity dancers on "Dancing With the Stars," receiving a near-perfect total of 28. When the fans voiced their opinion, it was Shannen Doherty who was voted off the show, leaving Scherzinger to dance another week. So what should fans expect to see when they tune in this week? "We had the quick step. We decided to take a risk and do something that we wanted to do on our own," Scherzinger told MTV News recently about her partner's strategy. "We're not really playing by the rules necessarily." Scherzinger and dance partner Derek Hough plan to try out some more unconventional dance moves with a routine that will be anything but strictly ballroom. "We're taking it old school. We're going back to the basics of, like, sheer entertainment and being performers, kind of like slapstick comedy," she shared. "And [we're] just having a good time. I don't know if the judges are gonna necessarily like it so much. We'll see." The Pussycat Doll is used to all the hard work thanks to her strenuous pop-star schedule, but her "DWTS" routines are definitely the hardest thing she's had to do in a long while. "I didn't anticipate, honestly, that it was going to be so challenging," she said. "I'm used to hard work, being on tour with the Pussycat Dolls and going non-stop, but this style of dance is so foreign to my body. It's quite frustrating at times."

What Would Nicole Scherzinger 'Telephone' Lady Gaga About? 'I would ask her if she could design my next costume for my next music video,' Pussycat Dolls frontwoman says.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Larry Carroll Nicole Scherzinger Photo: MTV News In honor of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video premiere on Thursday, MTV News got celebrities to weigh in on what they would ask Gaga about on a phone call, if they could ask about anything in the world. So, this week we will be rolling out their burning questions for the pop princess. And stay tuned to MTV News for more on the "Telephone" video. If anybody has access to call Lady Gaga up and chat for a bit, it's Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who toured with Gaga in 2009. And if Scherzinger can get her on the phone, she's got a few specific things she'd like to ask. "If I could call Lady Gaga on the phone and ask her for anything ... I would ask her if she could design my next costume for my next music video. No, I would ask her to do a song with me," she joked. "Because she is flipping brilliant." After getting the career-related stuff out of the way, she's got a question about a little something she gave Gaga awhile back. "I'd ask her, you know what I would say? I'd say, 'Gaga, you still have those really pretty Vivienne Westwood earrings that I bought you when we were on tour?' And if she says, 'Yeah,' I'll say, 'OK, cool, you remember those earrings, right? Yeah, when are we going to do a song together?' " she joked. And while Scherzinger is currently in reinvention mode with the Pussycat Dolls, she told us she admires Gaga's ability to constantly reinvent her own look. "Already within the year, two years she'd been on the scene, she's just always inspiring us with music," she said. "She's reinvented herself eight times this past week!"

Nicole Scherzinger Calls Pussycat Dolls Lineup Shifts 'Inevitable' 'When it comes to girl groups, I think we did the best that we could for a good chunk of time,' she tells MTV News.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Larry Carroll Nicole Scherzinger Photo: MTV News With the search on to fill out the Pussycat Dolls lineup after several members left the group to pursue other interests, the only surviving Doll, Nicole Scherzinger, admits that changes within the group are "inevitable." But Scherzinger insisted that all the girls who left are like family to her, and she only wants them to find success and happiness in their new careers. "You know what? I've always looked at the Pussycat Dolls as a family," she told MTV News. "We were really a sisterhood. We were together for six years, nonstop, 24/7. And I know a lot of them are pursuing their own solo projects and future endeavors, and I wish them nothing but the best." While she's still fully committed to the girl group, she knows that people sometimes need to move on to find their own happiness. "I believe they are beautiful and talented girls. And I believe in them, and I just want them to be happy," she said. "Success means different things to different people, so whatever brings them happiness, I wish them that." Still, she knows that in the world of girl groups, breakups and shakeups are the norm. "It's kind of inevitable, right? When it comes to girl groups, I think we did the best that we could for a good chunk of time," she explained. "We had an amazing time, and then people change and people grow, and sometimes things aren't right for them. We're all artists — just go and be creative. I love the PCD. It's been a blessing for me. I don't take it for granted, so I can't wait to do more music." Aside from PCD, Scherzinger will also be strutting her stuff on the upcoming season of "Dancing With the Stars."

Nicole Scherzinger Confirms Pussycat Dolls' 'New Cast' 'I'm still Nicky Doll,' Scherzinger says about her status in the girl group.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Larry Carroll Nicole Scherzinger Photo: MTV News These days, Nicole Scherzinger seems to be the last Pussycat Doll standing. With the other members of the girl group going their separate ways, the "Dancing With The Stars" contestant and the group's founder, Robin Antin, have been left to pick up the pieces. What's next for the girl group? A fresh start, for one thing. In a chat with MTV News on Wednesday, Scherzinger confirmed what Antin had already hinted, and what fans had suspected as members of the group announced one by one that they were pursuing careers away from PCD: "We're also gonna have a new cast of Dolls. And I'm excited," she said. These days, when Scherzinger isn't working on her "DWTS" moves, she's in the studio recording songs that could appear on the followup to the Dolls' 2008 full-length Doll Domination. "Right now I've been in the studio working on music non-stop. We're gonna have another Pussycat Dolls album for all of our fans out there, but that's gonna be late this year. "I'm still Nicky Doll," she added. "And I'm just plowing away in the studio making music that I love." Nicky Doll added that the music she is working on will most likely appear on the next Dolls album, although she didn't rule out the possibility of releasing her long-simmering solo record. "I don't know if I'm gonna put [the new music out] under my name yet or if it's going to be perfect for the Dolls," she said. "It doesn't matter. I just want to make great music for the fans. It's going to be popular music, but I'm definitely going with [a] more rock, soul-inspired sound." What do you think of the new PCD lineup news? Tell us in the comments!

Pussycat Dolls Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts Leave Group 'I decided to kind of push on with my own life,' Wyatt says of her departure from PCD.By Jocelyn Vena Ashley Roberts Photo: Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic The Pussycat Dolls are two more members down. Following Dolls founder Robin Antin's declaration that she's looking to bring some fresh faces to the group and the departure of Jessica Sutta earlier this year, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts have announced that they'll be purring no more. In an interview with the British lad mag Loaded, Wyatt announced that she would no longer be a part of the group. "I've left the group," she told the magazine, according to the Daily Mail. "I am so thankful for everything the Pussycat Dolls has brought into my life. But I have to say there were just too many variables that I couldn't agree with and I had to follow my heart. So I decided to kind of push on with my own life." Wyatt wasn't specific about what she and the rest of the band didn't agree on. "Money and fame can't buy happiness," she said. "Ultimately, I think that happiness is the most important thing in life, and I think that once I started to get to know myself more and more, I was like, 'You know, I don't think that my happiness is within this group right now.' I wish that it was different because I love what we do onstage. I love being a Doll, but as far as the variables off-stage are concerned — I just couldn't do it anymore." Shortly after Wyatt's news broke, Roberts made the announcement on her Web site in a letter to her fans on Saturday, leaving Nicole Scherzinger and Melody Thornton as the only remaining members. "Yes, I have left the Pussycat Dolls," she wrote. "I love you all sooo much!!! I am so grateful to have the love and support of all of you. It was an amazing ride, and I learned so much! You all mean the world to me and I'm excited to take you all on a new adventure. An adventure full of creativity, inspiration, learning, growing and lots of fun." When Sutta left the group earlier this year, she told MTV News that the Dolls were supportive of her solo endeavors. "They were really supportive of me. It was a big decision, but it was the best decision," she said. "I think I was always in the shadows of Nicole [Scherzinger], so I think it's the chance for me to come out."

Pussycat Dolls Are 'Supportive' Of Jessica Sutta's Solo Career 'I was always in the shadows of Nicole, so I think it's the chance for me to come out,' former PCD member tells MTV News.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Jessica Sutta Photo: Todd Williamson/WireImage Since the Pussycat Dolls announced their hiatus last year, fans have been waiting to hear what changes might be coming to the group. Well, Jessica Sutta is the first Doll to announce her next move, and she said she's ready to pursue a solo career. On Thursday, Sutta announced her exit and said she has the blessing of the Dolls to step out on her own. "They were really supportive of me," she told MTV News. "It was a big decision, but it was the best decision." Now that she isn't in a group with four or five other ladies, Sutta said she can be her own woman. "I think I was always in the shadows of Nicole, so I think it's the chance for me to come out," she said of frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger. "And I'm showing my alter ego, which I'm really excited about, which is kind of a theme to my album, which is really rad." Sutta will also try her hand at another aspect of the musical process: songwriting. "I'm really excited about my solo project," she said. "I've been working with my friend ... and I've actually been writing. I didn't get a chance to write on the Dolls albums, and I just found out I can write, which is really cool. So my music is really upbeat. You can put it in your ears and drift away which is really fun."

Pussycat Dolls Hope To Work With Fergie On Next Album Group founder Robin Antin says another Snoop Dogg collaboration is also possible.By Jocelyn Vena The Pussycat Dolls Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for DCPNYE The Pussycat Dolls may be looking for a few new faces to join Nicole Scherzinger and co., but they're also looking for a few big names to collaborate with on their next album. Work is already under way on the group's follow-up to their 2008 album, Doll Domination, and the group's creator, Robin Antin, admits there's one Black Eyed Pea she'd love to get on board for a song or two. "As far as women, I'd love to do a collaboration with Fergie," Antin told MTV News. "I think having her on an album would be incredible and something I've always wanted to do." Antin would also like to see Snoop Dogg, who worked with the group on past singles "Bottle Pop" and "Buttons," rejoin the ladies to see what kind of chemistry they can cook up this time around. "You never know, maybe Snoop will come back," she said. "He's always someone we love." Although the record is still in its early phases, Antin said fans will be pleased with the direction the group's sound is taking. "A couple of the songs right now that we're working on are absolutely incredible," she said. "Fun and definitely like a cool, unique sound. It's definitely new and fresh, and I think everyone's going to love it for sure." The album's feel isn't the only thing that will be "new and fresh." Antin also revealed that the group's lineup will have a few shakeups. "It's Nicole and ... a couple new faces. Some of the girls want to go and do their own thing. We're moving on. We're excited," she said. "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." Related Artists Pussycat Dolls
