While refusing to name which of The Pussycat Dolls will not make their return from the hiatus, creator Robin Antin reveals that there will be new faces joining lead singer Nicole.

Although she has been said to be the reason The Pussycat Dolls is not breaking up, lead singer Nicole Scherzinger won't be left out when the all-girl pop dance group return from their hiatus. Creator Robin Antin revealed the fact to MTV News while promoting "Robin Antin's Pussycat Dolls Workout" DVD.

"Nicole is going back in the studio. We're working on new music right now," the choreographer noted before mentioning once again there will be "new faces" in the group. Of the latter issue, she said, "There will be a few new faces in the Pussycat Dolls. I've been really putting that out there. I'm really excited about it."

"Inside every girl, inside every woman, is a Pussycat Doll and I always want to bring in new faces to really show there are so many Pussycat Dolls out there," Antin went on to explain. "It isn't about one forever. So I'm excited about that." While mentioning there will be "new faces", she didn't say which of the old members might be leaving. "It's Nicole and a few ... a couple new faces," she noted. "Some of the girls want to go and do their own thing."

"We're moving on," she added. "We're excited. We're looking at new girls. It's phase three of the Pussycat Dolls because we did our first album, our second album and now we're going on to our third. We're touring ... a lot is coming up."

Despite the addition of the "new faces", she insisted that the group is still intact. "There's all these crazy rumors: Are the Pussycat Dolls breaking up? Everyone asks me," she said. "And the answer is no. The Pussycat Dolls are not at all breaking up. I'm the creator of the Pussycat Dolls and I own the brand. I'm the first one; I would be the one to say, 'OK, it's over.' It's so not."

Back in early December, PCD member Kimberly Wyatt hinted to Digital Spy her uncertain future in the group. "The Pussycat Dolls have been on a hiatus for a while now. I really don't know what's to come, I can't even comment on it because I'm not the driving force behind it," she stated at the time. "Robin Antin is the creator and there's a lot of chefs in the kitchen when it comes to the Pussycat Dolls. They're making their choices wisely."
