Nicole Scherzinger

Leave it to the super spies at TMZ to uncover the latest random celebrity couple. Nicole Scherzinger, front-kitty of the Pussycat Dolls, has been spotted with Talan Torriero, the baby-faced, often-overshadowed star of seasons one and two of Laguna Beach.

The pair were seen dining at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday. Clearly the date wasn't too enthralling, as they are both on their respective phones during lunch. Nicole also hid under a hood and behind giant shades. Weak! hat happened to the rampant exhibitionism we're used to seeing from the Pussycat Dolls!? We're probably just spoiled by Britney Spears.

Some of you gossip hounds may recall that Talan was engaged to Kimberly Stewart for like a day. He also got it on with Kristin Cavallari while on Laguna Beach and has been linked to other stars, including the Ms. Crotch of Fire herself, Lindsay Lohan, since leaving the MTV reality hit and becoming a full-fledged D-List celebrity.

Forget Jason Wahler, this is Laguna Beach's true player. Odds are that he will have broken up with Nicole and be spotted snuggling up to Katie Blair by January 1.

The Pussycat Dolls often garner attention for guest stars that appear on stage alongside this monumentally talented singing group.

Vanessa Minnillo, for example, is the latest pseudo celebrity to take a foray into this feline festival.

However, as lead singer of the Grammy-nominated pop band, Nicole Scherzinger is opening up to Complex magazine about her background and how her real-life persona differs from the slithering sex bomb seen on TV.

For starters, she's no Lindsay Lohan tramp. In fact, she never really dated.

"I grew up in a conservative Catholic family, so being in the Pussycat Dolls was a big stretch for me," Scherzinger said.

When Nicole joined the group, she had only one request: "I won't be a Pussycat Doll unless you give me a solo deal."

And let's just say that Snoop Dogg was only too happy to close said deal - if you know what we mean!

Anyway, Scherzinger is now working on her solo debut and has a career plan all mapped out: "I want to do movies, another Pussycat Dolls album, and another solo album after that. I want to write my own Broadway musical, too."

Well, sure, who doesn't? In related news, Stavros Niarchos doesn't wish to get any STDs. But we can't always get what we want.
