Pussycat Dolls split in row over Scherzinger?

American pop girls group The Pussycat Dolls has called it a day, amid jealous rows over the rising profile of lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, girlfriend of British motor racing ace Lewis Hamilton.

Band member Kimberly Wyatt confirmed Saturday that the group were taking a long break to consider their future, fuelling speculation that it's all over for the band who formed in LA in 2003, reports mirror.co.uk.

"The girls and I have just finished our huge world tour and are taking a break from the band and doing our own thing... We're all concentrating on our own projects and deciding what the future will hold," said Wyatt.

Rumours are rife that tensions have been mounting in the Pussycat camp for several months. The five-member ensemble has been divided by jealousy over the star treatment being meted out to their lead singer.

Earlier this year Scherzinger, 31, was singled out for special mention on the group's "Slumdog Millionaire" single "Jai jo", which was billed as The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger.

Actors Urged To Avoid Michael Jackson Movie

Union bosses at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) have warned members not to take part in the documentary about Michael Jackson's doomed This Is It tour.

Sony Pictures have purchased rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage from concert promoters AEG Live, filmed at Los Angeles' Staples Center, as Jackson prepared for his residency at London's o2 Arena.

Sony has planned a two-week run for the film beginning 28 October (09); however, SAG bosses have announced that the film's producers have not agreed to the minimum basic terms and conditions for performers and background actors employed on the project.

A statement from the union reads: "Guild members are reminded of their obligation not to accept employment on any non-signatory project, as well as their obligation to confirm with the guild that a project is signatory.

"Employment on any non-signatory project within the guild's jurisdiction may subject a member to a Rule One violation."

The union did not have jurisdiction over rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage during filming, which it expects to be a feature release.

Jackson was set to take the stage in July (09), just weeks after he died from cardiac arrest on 25 June (09).

The singer’s peeved neighbours said “it has been a nightmare” ever since the star, whose house has been twice burglarised, shifted in Hollywood Hills, according to RadarOnline.com.

"The truth is that this is a very quiet neighborhood and there have been no break-ins apart from at Lindsay Lohan''s house," the New York Daily News quoted a neighbour as saying.

"Since she moved in last November it has been a nightmare with all the paparazzi parking in our driveways waiting for her," the neighbour added.

The neighbour also said: "I've got nothing personal against her but she needs to find a home in a gated community with security at the main gate because all the residents are fed-up with the situation.

Jessica Simpson Curses Ex

Jessica Simpson paid a witch to put a curse on her ex-boyfriend.

The unlucky-in-love starlet - who was dumped by American football star Tony Romo the night before her 29th birthday last month - has visited a woman she met on the internet to help her put a spell on Tony and ruin his chances of falling in love again.

She found a woman in California

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "Jessica is normally a really sweet girl, but she still can’t believe Tony callously dumped her.

"She found a woman in California. The two met at the star’s Beverly Hills home where they lit a candle, burned some incense and performed a couple of incantations."

The scorned singer-and-actress hopes the meeting will also taint the sportsman’s career, and is waiting in readiness for his next match on September 13, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, Jessica has reportedly been cosying up to football star Colt Brennan - a Washington Redskins quarterback and sporting rival of Tony’s.

The hunky sportsman has even sent her one of his team’s shirts to wear.

Jojo Sues Record Label

Singer Jojo is suing her record label in a bid to be released from her record contract.

The 18-year-old pop star is desperate to leave Da Family Entertainment,the company she signed a deal with at just 12, so that she can put out new music as the firm struggles to overcome ongoing financial woes.

But unfortunately I have become a victim of industry politics that honestly have nothing to do with me personally or professionally

But the Leave (Get Out) hitmaker maintains she has no resentment towards the firm's bosses, insisting the lawsuit was filed as a last resort in her bid to put out her next album.

She writes on her official blog, "For the past year and a half I've been diligently co-operating with my record label(s) so I can have the opportunity to continue with my career and do what I love the most - create music and sing. I've been a patient team player and have done everything that was asked andor expected of me. "As you may already know, my record company has been going through a major transition and unfortunately all of the artists on the label have been forced to sit on the sidelines and wait.

I exhausted every option and exercised much patience before reaching my final decision to file a formalcomplaint with the court.

"My situation is a bit atypical. It is not a case where the artist loves the material they are making, is set in his or her ways, will not take direction or advice, and will not co-operate with the label. This is Not the case at all. "I've been blessed to receive great feedback from the record company inresponse to the music I've been delivering.

But unfortunately I have become a victim of industry politics that honestly have nothing to do with me personally or professionally.

Because of this, I am willing to fight for what I love and ultimately for the chance to regain control of my livelihood and my life". JoJo, real name Joanne Levesque, is seeking $500,000 (£334,000) indamages from the company.
