Search for the Next Pussycat Doll Winner Asia Not Part of the Group

Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll was all for naught. CW president Dawn Ostroff shocked the Television Critics Association by confirming that the reality show’s winner Asia Nitollano is not part of the group. While gossip websites suggested Asia wasn’t up to the job, Ostroff insisted that Asia chose instead to pursue a solo career. But it’s clear that the show’s producers have reconsidered their concept. The next search will be for members of a new group, rather then competing for a chance to join the well-oiled PCD machine. — Reporting by Stephen Battaglio
