Asia Officially Won’t Be Joining the Pussycat Dolls

asia-won-01-sm.jpg

Millions tuned in to watch as aspiring singers and dancers competed for a spot in the world famous group, The Pussycat Dolls. We watched the drama and the tears and the joy that Asia showed when she won the show.

But then, we never saw the Dolls appear with her as part of the group. People have been questioning that ever since the show concluded. The Chicago sun Times has finally told us what happened to Asia:

In the spring, young women (or old girls) sang their hearts out to try to win the CW’s “Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll.” And for what? Winner Asia Nitollano never did become a Doll.

She wasn’t fired, says CW head Dawn Ostroff; she quit to pursue a solo career. This might explain why Nitollano was a no-show for the Dolls‘ performance at the big Live Earth concert earlier this month.

Ostroff broke the news at a press conference Friday. She denies this makes “Pussycat Dolls” pointless. She told me Nitollano quit after the finale aired.

The surprise hit show will return to CW stations in the winter, but this time nine finalists will compete to be in a new trio called Girlicious.

    omg melissa s?! really?! omg i thought u shud have won, ur really beatuful and amazing, are you and chris really togther?

    Melissa R. was beautiful and wonderful to watch on-screen. I loved her performances.

    Anyone who bashes her in favour of Chelsea is just trying to put her down to make Chelsea look better. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Chelsea too, but bashing Melissa R. is rude and unjustified.

  3. By Rhe

    Any way Melissa R was crap!!! If there was a runner up it should of been Chelsea because even though I loved Asias’s performance, I liked Chelsea’s as well and I said it once and I’ll say it again MELISSA R IS…… CRAP CRAP CRAP

  4. By Rhe

    The reason why she did quit was because she had a 2 yr old daughter! I LOVE Asia shes a realy good singer,she did leave cause of her daughter didn’t you see she got all emotional before the said who one?

  5. By Miki

    I’m shocked to all these comments. It’s so obvious that Asia was put out of this big joke named Pussycat Dolls. It was all about money, never about “a 6th doll”. Anyway, good for her!!! She’s very talented and if she really wants to do music, she’ll do it!

    i dont think so she quit there must be another story behind this allegations ………… plus this is her dream to be a PCD …………this mus tbe a bureaucratic crap …………

  7. By nooonyaaa

    OKAY? Is she stuupid ?! She is NOOT gonna get far. And we don’t even see her on television no more. Nor the radio. I MEAN, Damn.. Quit when your soo close?! melissa could have beeen in it! She just wasted the whole damn purpose.
    STUPID ASSSS.

  8. By Meg

    get mellissa R she’s the runner up who really wanted to be in this group

  9. By Meg

    they should get the runner-up (Mellisa R.) to join the group i think that’s a good idea.

  10. By Lara-lyn Lawrence

    I’m happy that Asia one but i don’t get why she is not in the group, i understand that she had a baby at home but she did it for her child and for her family. So i wish that she could be apart of the group or she could be a solo singer.

  11. By snowcake

    Ok…c’mon like wtf. Who does she think she is…quiting the Pussy cat Dolls before she even joined their group… Since the show finished I have not even heard of her so we all know her singing career went nowhere… what a loser

  12. By Roslyn

    Who knows what really happen to poor Asia… The show is only there to promote the pussy cat dolls and to rake in the money. I really knew nothing of the pussy cat dolls until this show!! I got curious and started a research on them and now, I am hook on thier music….That’s what I am talking about.

  13. By Maria

    damn no offense at all asia but u cant sing!!! I Really Think Dat Chelsea Should hav Won She was Da Best Singer!!!! Asia if u wer gunna quit u should hav never came into da competition! U should hav just quited way befor n gone 2 take care of ur child!! Chelsea u r lik a rolemodel 2 me!!!

  14. By Anastasia

    wooow thats so stupid so many people would have actually wanted to be part of the group and not “quit for a solo career” she probably won’t even get one. i wanted melissa r. to win and she desirved it more too. she wouldn’t have quit.

  15. By andrea

    Asia is so ungrateful!!!! I never liked her from the beginning. I was a huge fan of chelsea!!!! I would have been happy if chelsea or melissa won but not asia. If you have a child you shouldnt be trying to join a girl group!!!!!

  16. By prego mama

    i think that mayb she is still in the pussy cat dolls but mayb she decided her daughter was to young to leave and wanted to wait a little while stars take leave all the time 4 there kids children come before any freakin job that takes them away from there kids asia was kool.SO YEA

  17. By Julia

    That’s stupid……
    I knew Mellisa R. should have won….
    Asia doesn’t appreciate what she got

  18. By Anita

    Well, I heard that they told her she was part of the pussy cat dolls, but not part of going on tours and stuff. If that is true, maybe that is why she quit. I want to hear from her “exactly” what happened. Hopefully if there was some weird scandal, she wasn’t paid to keep quiet.

  19. By Kelly Stewart

    Wow, what an ungrateful little b*#*# Asia is. Imagine the other girls who really put their heart and soul into this competition. I for one, absolutely loved Chelsea. You could see that the competition was really getting to her. A lot of the girls ganging up on her was pretty sad, but she kept on fighting and made it really far for a young girl who had NO dance experience. To think that after getting an opportunity like this, winning (when she really shouldn’t have) and then to walk away? Well, I am a firm believer in karma….

    i think… asia’s solo career might not last long. melissa r and chelsea wanted this. i think asia wanted it BEFORE she won.. and once she won, i guess she decided that maybe since she got enough publicity maybe she can get a solo career. she just wanted to get recognized.. and used this for it.. and took it away from people who deserved it more than her
