The Hollywood Gossip Readers Speak: Asia Nitollano is Talented, a Bad Mother, Other Things
Readers of The Hollywood Gossip are not afraid to voice their opinions. And we thank each and every one of you for that. Some of the issues you feel the strongest about are:
Greg Laswell rules.
Simon Monjack sucks.
One celebrity about whom voices are mixed, however, is new Pussycat Dolls member Asia Nitollano. Many of you think she's a great addition to the group. Others lament that Melissa was not chosen as winner of the reality competition that crowned the newest Doll.
While you decide on which side you stand - and controversy swirls over whether or not Asia will ever sing with the group - read a few of the reader comments left by those that have already made up their minds...
KALIMAH writes: I think that it is jacked up what they are saying about Asia. She won that contest fair and square. The girl has talent and she worked so hard. She deserves a record deal rather it be with the pussy cat dolls or solo. You dont fulfill someone's dream then take it away without a valid excuse.
TAMARA writes: all i got to say is that maybe they don't think shes fits becaause she looks and acts like the lead singer⦠i honestly think she'd be a better leader then [Nicole Scherzinger]â¦
supeRr-cOokiie writes: MELISSA SHOULD'VE WON! although she did look abit like nicole. melissa was hell good. i think she is a pussy cat doll! i didnt like asia! she was so mean! and chelsea was alright. but melissa should've won! PCD is just.. not cool anymore. lol.
KRISTIE writes: asia is a bad mother if she leave her daughter to go on tour she has a responsability now its not all about her!!!!!1 i feel sorry for her daughter having a mother like her. i wont be buying any albums if she is in them!!!!!!
* The Hollywood Gossip note: Wow, that's harsh. Wonder how Kristie feels about the fact that Britney Spears hasn't seen Jayden James in two or six months.
SARA MAY writes: I think that Melissa R should have won, she is a better singer and dancer, and she sims to come along with other girls better. I have also read that in the next season they are looking for members to form a new group, inspired by the pussycat dolls.
JEFF LOVES ASIA writes: Asia was the best pick for the Dolls, shes hot shes a great singer and that girl can dance. Chelsea tried to be too much like Christina Aguilera, if she wants to be her go sing back up with her or something. and Melissa R. was a good singer but she didn't make a good doll. Asia's got that sparkle.
So there you have it, celebrity gossip lovers. A mixed bag of opinions if there ever were any.
Write in and let us know where you stand on Asia. While you're at it, feel free to chime in on the Holly Madison vs. Carmella DeCesare nude debate, as well.

Asia is talented and a great performer im glad she won and i believe she is the best pick for the group what saddens me is that she almost never performs with the pussycat dolls i think b/c she would do better than nicole and she seems more fit for leadership role she also is prettier and nicole couldnt dare tolrate someone taking her shine and glory....

melissa r -good singer, good dancer, beautiful girl

Ok seriously People get over it asia was clearly the best , yes Her voice wasnt as strong but she was the best dancer and that is mainly what the pussycat dolls are about ... Being SEXY , if you havent noticed. so get over it asia won fair and square like it should have been and if you dont like it that is your problem because she is in it and you cant stop that so GET OVER IT she is good and I am glad she won. To be wonest I was cheering for Jaime and then I realised that Asia was everything the Pussycat dolls are and more she is a great mother to her child even if she did leave her to be with the pussycat dolls it wasa chance ofa life time and you probly would have done the same thing and she was safe with ehr grandmother but you could tell duringthe show when she started crying that at times she regreted coming because she missed her daughter so much. well she won and now she is probly making up for the time she missed and this probly did alot for they're family.

ok when it sayd by asia lover and then had the same message under it that is me but i didnt put my full name but the secand time i did
June 19th, 2007 8:31 PM
Asia was the best dancer...although chelsea was the best singer Asia was more fit 4 the group and about Asia being a bad mother is so not true if you think about it her fame would give her daughter a better life. It was not selfish of her 2 think of her daughter and herself. She is trying 2 give her what she never had. Besides ASIA WAS THE BEST
July 2nd, 2007 4:14 PM
I think that Melissa R should have won because she was able 2 dance n sing... Chelsea had the best vocals n Asia was the best dancer, but yet both of them yet had things 2 improve on (Chelsea's dancing, n Asia's singing) Nobody can honestly say that Asia's voice is the best,,, Being a PCD isnt all bout dancing... cuz then theyd just b dancer... which their not... their a group that sings n dances, Asia does not give a great preformance in singing.... but can dance.... Melissa R could do both n thats why the judges made a huge mistake in picking her... And nobody can say that Asia deserves it all cuz she worked hard w/e... so did Mel R Chelsea n all the other girls.... the finale was unfair because if the judges really wanted the best preformer then yes Asia should win that cuz she got the crown hyped w/e... but they shouldnt hav choosen her because Mel R n Chelsea got song that u really cant top Asias cuz they were both vocal songs.... they both nailed their preformances with the vocals n did everything perfect... but u obviously cant top some1 who has a song 2 get the crowd hyped with a vocal song.... their obviously gonna look better... the songs given cant even be compared 2 1 another if they r lookin 4 PERFORMANCE in a person... if they truly wanted 2 c a performer in all 3 of them then they should all been given a performance song.... simple.... and about Asia being a bad mother.... i dun think that she is a bad mother... she proabably provides everything for her daughter... but i still dun think its fair 4 her daughter cuz her mom is probably gonna work in L.A. most of the time while shes in N.Y... shes at the age where shes starting 2 understand if her moms not there or not..... lik most 2 yr olds... i think that that age is very important 4 a mother 2 b there becuz thats when they start 2 speak sentences, notice things around her ect... and 4 Asia not 2 experience that with her own daughter i think is very unfair 4 her daughter.... i understand that shes doing this 4 her daughter and shes fulfilling her dream at the same time... but i dun think that she thought the concequences thro... i mean on the show she was complaining alot bout missing her daughter this that... she best had learned of being away from her daughter in the competition cuz that was nothing... when she knows what she has 2 go thro in the BIZ then she should suk it up... she has 2 do recordings, interviews, tours all that stuff so she best had learned in the competition 2 suk it up cuz thats the path she choose... shes gonna hav 2 learn that shes not gonna c her daughter when ever she wants...

The only reason asia won the compititon is because Robin took in consideration that she has a daughter and Melissa should have won !
July 7th, 2007 3:38 PM
where is asia i was looking 4ward to it
July 8th, 2007 4:39 PM
ok firstly pplz are just wrong in saying that asia is a bad mother, you cant judge her on that becuase u aint in her position, lots of stars leave their children at home and go on tour how many stsrs do you know that have children (and their children arnt always with them)
asia was all round a better performer mel R was very good but she didnt demand the attention the way that asia did i think she is just 2 cute (as in bby cute)
when it comes to vocals chelsea - her voice was amazing asia - her voice could be better but there is one point i have to make how many times do you hear carmit sing or jessica sing only nicole sings and melody does a lil sutten sutten da girls will only be backing and dancing.
to finish ma essay
asia is a great performer and she fits in with the pussycat dolls
July 10th, 2007 9:57 AM
Stop judging people of what you dont know. She has a cute daught. You people shouldn't be saying stuff like that. Asia has a good voice, great dancer. Chelease and Mel.R were great too. Asia can improve and do better..All yuh people need to stop hating. Srry buh yeah.
July 16th, 2007 1:16 AM
As a friend of Asia's i know that this has been a lifelong dream. She came into this compitition with her head held high and confidence in herself, she wo this cpomition fare and square. If she was as bad as everyone is saying the judges would have cut her they obviously seen a spark within and gave it time to turn into a raging fire that nobody could stop. And to give her the dream that she earned then to snatch it away from her would be one of the most inhuman thing to ever do!

my massage is in reference to what Kristie wrote:
"KRISTIE writes: asia is a bad mother if she leave her daughter to go on tour she has a responsability now its not all about her!!!!!1 i feel sorry for her daughter having a mother like her. i wont be buying any albums if she is in them!!!!!!
* The Hollywood Gossip note: Wow, that's harsh. Wonder how Kristie feels about the fact that Britney Spears hasn't seen Jayden James in two or six months." I feel you have no right to judge her, she wants to provide for her daughter. If this is how she has to do it so be it, there are worst people out there, not saying that she is bad. People tend to do what they can to protect the ones the love and i see nothing wrong with what she wants to do for her and her child. I an say that i would buy her album if she goes solo and the group if she remains... I rather her be a PCD member then a prostitute... unlike you i know what its like to want to escape from where you are and get ahead for your loved ones

asia won melissa was a hater the girl who won should have melissa suks!
August 14th, 2007 5:20 AM
i don't know asia or anything, but calling her a bad mother because she is trying to have her dream is just dumb. she clearly loves her daughter she talked about her and cryed because she missed her all the time. im sure she will make time for her. and if she disen't get a record deal, the hole pussy cat doll this is bull, they were told thwy would, so they try out, they winner should damn well get one. or that is totally messed up. you rock asia!
August 14th, 2007 5:22 AM
one person i DID NOT like was melissa S she is rude and not as good as she thinks she is. chelsea melissa r are alot better than her. if asia didnt win i would want it to be melissa s or chealsa..deffinatly not melissa S she is a b**** in my books
August 14th, 2007 5:24 AM
i put if asia didnt win i would want it to be melissa s or chelsea...obviously i ment mellisa R..i hate melissa S..although she is canadian like me lol

Hey All ! ! !
Want to spend your vacation to be remembered for long?
Tourism ...
help you carry out your wishes !
September 18th, 2007 10:45 AM
Asia was the best choice , she may not of had the best voice, but she was the sexiest, & greatest dancer of all, and lets face it thats what they were looking for, she was not going to be lead singer of the PCD.Now I hope she didnt make a mistake about not joining to go solo.I believe she should have joined at least for a year then go solo.
But in any case I hope she makes it big time, she deserves it, because I really loved her in the competition.
September 18th, 2007 10:16 PM
GET OVER IT ASIA WON!!!!! BECAUSE SHE GOT A BIG BREAK MAKES HER A BAD MOTHER? HOW MANY ACTORS, SINGERS, AND OTHER PERSONS THAT ARE IN THE PUBLIC EYE THAT HAVE CHILDREN ARE BAD PARENTS? GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK, SHE WON, SHE OBVIOUSLY DESERVED IT. IF MELISSA HAS THE TALENT SOMEBODY CAUGHT THAT AND WILL GIVE HER AN OPPORTUNITY, MAYBE SOMETHING THAT SHE HAD NOT IMAGINED. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BLOCK THIS GIRLS SHINE, JUST GIVE HER PROPS. IT'S NOT EVERYDAY SOMEONE IS GIVEN A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME. WHEN YOU GET YOUR CHANCE HOW WOULD LIKE FOR PEOPLE SAYING HOW YOU DIDNT DESERVE IT AND SOMEONE ELSE WAS THE BETTER PERSON AND YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS SOMETHNG THAT REALLY YOU LONGED AND DREAMED FOR?. DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER, LET HER GET HER'S IT'S ENOUGH OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY........CONGRATS ASIA, STAY GROUNDED AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE MAKING A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER.
September 18th, 2007 10:24 PM
April, I could not have said it better myself. I guess I must be a bad mother bcause I work (2) jobs to make ends meet so that my sons can eat, drink, have a clean, safe place to live, have clothes, shoes, toys. What makes a good mother? Stop judging, you never know what you tomorrow brings.
September 18th, 2007 10:30 PM
Susan Smith=drowned her kids, stayed home w/them all day
Andrea Yates=drowned her kids, stayed home w/them all day
Van Dammes=swingers, child murdered while parents partied in their basement
These are bad mothers, and the list goes on. Watch what you say.......
September 18th, 2007 10:34 PM
correction: Van Dammes were not necessarily bad parents, they just got caught up in their lifestyle and someone knew about it and caught them while they indulged.
February 20th, 2008 7:14 PM
I truely believe Melissa R has talent an shouldve have won, and Asia might have sparkle but the girl cant sing!! But then again there is also lots of so called singerrrrs out there in the music business that cant sing either..Robin should've created a group with Melissa R, Chelsea and Asia instead of coming out with "Girlicious"!!!!
March 13th, 2008 6:40 PM
I <3 Asia
she was smart not joinging the group. ok in the psd, the only person anyone knows in nicole, no one even knows the other girls names, and whats the point of being it that group if nicole was leaving any way to start her solo job
stop hating on asia, you guys are just jelous
