The Pussycats have their claws out. Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt says lead singer Nicole Scherzinger is no pal of hers. Meow!

According to Kim, she and Nicole get along purely for business purposes.

“I get on well with most of the band but not everyone. Look, at the end of the day it’s a job – we all have our own lives to lead and our own projects going on,” Kimberley said, “I think of Nicole as just a business associate not as a friend. You cannot simply group girls together and just expect them to get on, can you? Life doesn’t work like that.” The 27-year-old added, “If Nicole left tomorrow, we could still carry on. I can see this band going on forever.”

Except she is the only one with any vocal talent… Pulling her head through her legs and prancing around nearly nude will only get you so far, Toots… If Nicole left, your “band” would go down the toilet.

“This is the last time we’ll be in the UK as a band,” the singer said, “We’ve broken up. We’re sorry.”

Rumors have been circulating that Nicole Scherzinger is leaving the burlesque troupe to pursue a solo career, but a Pussycat spokesperson has denied the split. “The girls are still together. They are in Beirut for a gig.”

PCD “Hush Hush” VIDEO Premiere

Britney Spears is acting as mediator in a brewing feud between the members of sultry singing burlesque troupe The Pussycat Dolls.

The Dolls — who are performing as the opening act on the North American leg of Britney’s Circus Tour — are reportedly at one another throats over recent rumors that lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, 30, is set to go solo. Fellow members of the group are said to unhappy about recent singles, like “Jai Ho,” released as ”The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger.”

On their European tour, Nicole performed PCD’s latest song “Hush Hush” on her own while the other girls are off stage.

”It’s like a modern version of the old Diana Ross and the Supremes thing,” a music industry insider told The Chicago Sun-Times on Sunday.

But Brit is determined not to let inter-tension between The Dolls negatively impact her show.

”Remember, business comes first. … You can hate each other off-stage, but make it work on stage,” Britney told the group during a recent lecture.

The Pussycat Dolls can’t be expected to perform for anything less than $30,000.

The pop burlesque troupe, who are slated to tour Australia next month, turned down the offer to perform at four afterparties at clubs in the country’s capital city because the proposed appearance salary was not up to their standards.

According to The Daily Telegraph, a rep for the “Jai Ho” stars insist the band is worth more than the amount they were offered.

High School Musical 3, Miley Cyrus, and The Jonas Brothers won big at Nickelodeon’s 22nd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards in Hollywood Saturday night.

Over 90 million viewer votes were cast at Nick’s Web site.

In this video clip from last night’s show, hosted by “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, The Pussycat Dolls perform “Jai Ho” and “When I Grow Up” for the live audience.

Nicole Scherzinger and The Pussycat Dolls will be the fictional town of Llanview for a guest spot on the long-running ABC soap One Life to Live this spring.

The burlesque quintet will stop be Llanview High to perform their version of A.R. Rahman’s award-winning Slumdog Millionaire track song “Jai Ho” after the school wins a concert by the group.

The Pussycat Dolls will make their One Life To Live debut May 13 on ABC.

The new LP will feature 10 tracks, including “Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)”, the English version of the popular Slumdog Millionaire single. Fans can also look forward to new singles like “Top of the World”, featured in MTV’s The City, “Painted Windows,” and remix version of “Hush Hush”.

Doll Domination 2.0 will also contain hit singles, such as “When I Grow Up”, “I Hate This Part”, “Bottle Pop”, “Halo”, “Takin’ Over the World,” and “I’m Done.”

The Pussycat Dolls brought a live rendition of their remix of Slumdog Millionaire’s “Jai Ho” to Regis & Kelly studio audience this morning.
