Asia Nitollano Officially Snubs Pussycat Dolls
This might not endear Asia Nitollano to all the critics who believed she should never have won CW's Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll in the first place:
The victor has officially turned down the group's offer to join.
CW head Dawn Ostroff says Asia quit to pursue a solo career. This might explain why Nitollano was a no-show for the Dolls' performance at the big Live Earth concert earlier this month. It also should fuel fans' ire toward the singer, someone who receives as many hateful comments on The Hollywood Gossip as Simon Monjack and Spencer Pratt.
Asia Nitollano won the search for the next Pussycat Doll over Melissa Reyes. But she won't be accepting the group's offer to actually join it.
Ostroff broke the news at a press conference Friday. But she claims this doesn't make the network's reality show pointless. Another season is actually planned, although the nine finalists will compete to be in a new trio called Girlicious.
Fans have left comments all over our celebrity gossip blog, claiming that runner-up Melissa Reyes should have won the competition all along. Some believe Asia is a worse singer than Brooke Hogan.
This decision by Nitollano will likely make them even angrier. Instead of finding group success and then leaving to pursue her own career, like Beyonce, Asia thinks she can simply skip the first step.
Only time will tell if she's correct.

All I can say is that I'm shocked. She looked good with the six of them but I still love PCD and Asia was my favorite on the show next to Anastacia. I don't care about the comments made about her because people are just haters. I see Asia has a song on the web called "Selfish" and I hear it's pretty good. Robin and the dolls said inside every woman, there is a Pussycat Doll. To me, Asia is still a PCD. I hope she visits and sings at the Vegas Lounge.

You probley just did this for poplibiticy. Aisa was way to Happy to be in the group to just leave.. hahaa

what this cant be true why would she be so determined to be in pcd and then declinre the offer that is so weird. i hope this is a lie cuz i wanted asia to be in pcd
August 4th, 2007 1:41 PM
This is bullshit. I'm sick & tierd of hearing this. Clearly people are just jealous that Asia won. Asia is amazing, and she won for a reason! I can't wait to see the haters when Asia appears on the up coming album! Asia was way to happy & determined to not be in the group, or decline the offer. It's that simple.

Aisa was good she was my 3rd favorite contested.Aisa was really good she improved alot.No wonder why did she leave.She is a really wonderful lady.
August 10th, 2007 12:47 PM
Aisa is my favorite.The reason she left pussycatdolls is cuz she wanted to start a solor carrer.She wasn't kicked out of the group or fired.She just wanted to started a solo carerr.So yea.I wish Aisa,Chelsea and Melissa.R best of luck.
August 10th, 2007 12:49 PM
My favorite contest were Chelsea Korka Melissa Reys and Aisa. The reason Aisa left is cuz of solo career no cuz the ppl hate her.I wish Chelsea and aisa and melissa R the best of luck in their feature

I think that this COULD be a lie, but I'd rather she wasnt in the pussycat dolls in the first place. She is a horrible, horrible singer, and I think Chelsea should have won. Maybe she wasnt the best dancer but you can learn to dance, anyone can. I think Cesily or however you spell that punker girl's name was right; Asia dances like drag queen. i wish she would just go back to her baby and take care of that.
August 12th, 2007 4:08 PM
Okaaay. This is SOOO retarted. I hope she left! She should of NEVER won in the first place. The WHOLE time she was complaining about her kid. I don't even see why she auditioned, if she couldn't even leave her kid for the SEASON what would she do when they go on tours eh? Like seriously WHINE the ENTIRE season just soo you get attention and make it seem harder on you becuase you're away from you kid. Well, BOO HOO! If you want to be in the show biz you have to know what your getting yourself into instead of complaining the whole time. Then after all that you quit!?!?!? Like seriously, I hated her but after she put everyone through ALL of that couldn't she of at least stayed?=S I really hope she DOESN'T go solo. If so I'll have to listen to ALL her songs that will be over-played and also have to read about her "Emotional break downs." Like there's already toooooo much drama, save yourself the trips to the nut house and go see your god damn KID! If ANYONE should of won if should of been Chelsea. "You can't fake dancing." That's BULL! You can't fake SINGING. Dancing is something that will come with practice; singing is something your either born with and then you can get better. But if you suck, like TRULY suck *cough cough* [ASIA]. Then you can't get better. Thank you.:]

She should of joined the dolls and then made contacts for the next step. Maybe the other girls
didn't want a new girl, hence the new trio called Girlicious.

The song selfish was not done by Asia Nitollano but another artist by the name of Asia Cruz... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gav6wv0354

Asia was forced to go in a different direction. There is no reason for her to try a solo career with out even setting foot on stage with PCD. By being a part of pcd she could have gained publicity, expanded her fan base. And by not taking her spot and not allowing another girl in could also cause fans of the other girls to hate her even more. I believe although she was an amazing dancer, a good singer( i think she sounds a hell of a lot beter than that nicole schwisiswi...) she was forced not to take her spot as a member. It goes against all logic. Dont believe the media. Asia wouldnt have went through all tht crap to prematurely jump ship, she would ride it out to higher ground and jump off when the singing stripper act got tired.
ASIA IS FUCKING SEXY
Oh yeah Melissa was awfull. when she was singing the mary j blige song i had to change the channell. She sounded like an alter boy. And chelsea had a hard time singing through those dominoes that she calls teeth.

Oh and last time i checked life doesnt stop when you have kids. And her boyfriend is still with her. She isnt really a sigle mother. I beieve if all women had the mentality of most of these ppl on this board, celine dion whitney houston modonna cher tina turner even jk rowling would hav stopped there careers right after they gave birth.
Babys shouldnt stop you from achieving. Kinds shouldnt be a burded. The shhould be motivation. She was after stardom and a better life for her kid.... is that wrong.
oh yeah ... Asian is soooooo damn sexy

ok i may only be 11 but when i watched the she serch for the next doll i loved it asia should have won and i am very hjappy for her!
August 21st, 2007 2:13 AM
Well i think she did quit cause alot of sites put asia as a former member. but i dun care, i wanted melissa to win anyway.
August 25th, 2007 5:47 PM
Asia was soo determined to be in the PCD, n' i luv d pussycat dolls, but itz lyk nikky jus getz all the attention. Jus cuz she can sing good, she gets the publicity, shez lyk d leader. Carmit iz also a good singer, but shez not even shinin' thru. lets face it, all d otha 5 pussycat dolls r lyk backup singers/dancers to nikky, n' itz a shame, cuz they've all got talent, includin' lil miss melody (shez my fav). So, altho iz kinda sad 2 hea dat asia wont be joinin' dem, but itz also good, then, she can go start off her own deal, get sum groundz in d bizz n' jus be her own leader. Dat myte also be a lil diff since shez a newbie, she myte need ppl to guide her thru, but she'll do fine. i luv asia, shez d best!

i think asia is basicly slapping all the pussycat dolls in the face.she came on the show to BE a pussycat doll and now she wants to go solo? i knew all along that mellissa r. or mellissa s. should have won and for asia to do that is just plain stupid and very pittyfull. im hope her solo career is a failure and thanks to her the first season of : the search for the next doll was wasted..stupid supid stupid girl....
August 26th, 2007 9:43 PM
i lov asia i knew she was going to win one the first tryout.......i really dont belive she left the group if enything i think that nicole was jealouse of her and did not want her to join.......asis would of out shine all of them, but if you read these comments asia i really hope i see you on the pcd album cover and in some videos....

September 2nd, 2007 11:32 PM
i still think that aisa is still a pussycat doll and i hope that she joins them again because i think that they make a great team.
September 9th, 2007 8:18 PM
well i think asia shouldn't have won anyway because she can't sing and i don't like her soif she goes solo people won't buy the album anyway because they don't like her i think melissa reyes should have won cause she sung better than anyone on the show shes pretty and shes got it all!!! melissa is sssoooooooo awsome!
