Pussycat Doll Makes Interesting Statement

Burlesque-style singing group the Pussycat Dolls has been opening for Britney Spears on her "Circus" tour since March. At their stop in Glendale, Ariz. on Friday night, group member Melody Thornton made an interesting comment during a break in the show, according to MTV.com.

Thornton used a break in the show to take time to thank the crowd.

"What's up everybody? I'm Melody and I'm a native of Phoenix, Arizona. Let me give a shout-out to my family. Thank you for supporting me even though I'm not featured. You know what I'm saying?" she said.

The "featured" statement refers to the fact that on their recent singles, "Jai Ho" and "Hush Hush," the Dolls have been billed as "Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger," who is the group's lead singer.

The New York Daily News reported that the featuring of Scherzinger has led people to speculate that she's leaving the Dolls for a solo career. Interscope Records, the Dolls' label, has yet to address the rumors.
