Scherzinger "excited" about Dolls change

Nicole Scherzinger has insisted that she is looking forward to working with new Pussycat Dolls.

Kimberly Wyatt recently announced that she had decided to leave the group and was later followed by Ashley Roberts.

However, Scherzinger claimed that the changes are positive and told MTV News: "We're... going to have a new cast of Dolls. And I'm excited."

She added that she has already started working on tracks for the next Pussycat Dolls album.

"Right now I've been in the studio working on music non-stop," she said. "We're going to have another Pussycat Dolls album for all of our fans out there but that's going to be late this year. I'm still Nicky Doll. And I'm just ploughing away in the studio making music that I love."

Scherzinger also refused to rule out a solo career, adding: "I don't know if I'm going to put [the new music out] under my name yet or if it's going to be perfect for the Dolls. 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."

Scherzinger was recently named as one of the contestants on the tenth season of Dancing With The Stars.
