Pussycat Dolls 'planning musical'

The Pussycat Dolls are reportedly in talks to star in a musical based on their rise to fame.

The five-piece girlband are said to be considering scripts for a movie in which they will play themselves.

A source tells Musicnews.com, "The Pussycat Dolls are getting a lot of film scripts to look through at the moment. It's going to be semi-biographical, about their rise to fame, with loads of dancing and singing."

Singer Nicole Scherzinger - who is dating Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton - has spoken in the past of her desire to strengthen the band by taking on a variety of new projects, admitting: "We really want to take the Pussycat Dolls to the next level."
