Carmit Bachar

Pussycat Dolls singer Carmit Bachar has confirmed that she has left the girl group. She was the only original member of the Los Angeles-based burlesque dance troupe from which the band was formed. She wrote on the band's website: "I wanted to be the first to tell you that I'm no longer with the Pussycat Dolls, but we will always be sisters forever." The red-headed hottie did not explain why she decided to break from the group – or what she's doing next – though previous reports have suggested that Bachar intends to pursue a solo career. The singer only hinted that: "Exciting news is coming and I promise to keep you all posted." The Pussycat Dolls and Jessica Simpson are slated to perform an Operation MySpace concert for U.S. Soldiers in Kuwait on March 10.
