We’ve just gotten our hands on some private emails – oops! – between the Pussycat Dolls and the head of their record label, Jimmy Iovine. We’ve confirmed their authenticity, and it’s juicy!
Basically, the Dolls want to take their backup dancers on the road with them when they open for Britney Spears on her upcoming Circus tour. Unfortunately for them, Iovine gives the girls a harsh lesson in reality and economics.
Doll Kimberly pleads with the Interscope honcho, saying:
“We strongly agree that the male dancers are an asset to the show and should be kept for the britney tour.”
Iovine responds with:
“We can’t afford it. I’m sorry its hard enough right now with the album not selling that’s why we did jai ho and re releasing the album. And we want to be able to keep the whole thing going at this level its not a choice its a reality.”
Sucks for the Pussy!
Sources also tell us that all is not well between the Dolls and their record label AND between the girls and lead singer Nicole.
Meow!
Update: Robin Antin, founder of the Pussycat Dolls, just sent us the following message.
“Just got home from Europe….
Was with the Dolls on tour, a SOLD OUT headlining arena tour, so amazing!! Who said the girls r fighting?! NOT TRUE at all!! We all had the best time!
That email below is 5min of a 2 day conversation. Its all good in PCD land, I promise u that!
We r making decisions because everyone has to meet a budget these days. We have sold 4 million singles and 1m albums worldwide but we aren’t satisfied yet!
Would u be??? My expectations are sooo HIGH, and always have been, that’s why PCD is the biggest POP group/Brand in the world!
And hey, we just did the biggest song EVER, “Jai Ho” from Slum Dog Millionaire!”
