Founder denies Pussycat Dolls split

Robin Antin has denied reports that the Pussycat Dolls have split.

The group's founder told Hollyscoop that reports of distance between frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger and the other girls were untrue, though she also suggested that new members could join in future.

Antin said: "The Pussycat 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."

She continued: "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!"
