Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she struggled with her image

Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she struggled with her image when she first joined the Pussycat Dolls.

The singer says she was uncomfortable with the band’s raunchy costumes and dance routines.

‘The image side of the Dolls was never seedy or sleazy but it was sexual,’ she says. ‘At first I wasn’t comfortable with that.

‘I’d always be worried about what other people were thinking about me. I was afraid of upsetting my family.'

Nicole, 30, says she was shy growing up because of her sheltered upbringing.

‘I grew up in a very strict, conservative family and my grandfather had his own church.

‘I suppose I grew up with lots of guilt. When I joined the Dolls it was a major turning point for me as all that guilt had to go,' she tells Live.

‘I had to reinvent myself and lose my insecurities. It took time for me to get my confidence.'

Nicole is currently dating Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, 23.

Lewis Hamilton showed love for girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger's support for his F1 Championship

Lewis Hamilton showed his gratitude for girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger's support during his F1 championship battle by giving her a present that meant more than any expensive jewels – an incognito tour of his home town Stevenage.

He took the stunning brunette, a singer with American group the Pussycat Dolls, to see the local church and his old school before dropping in at home for a roast dinner cooked by his stepmum Linda.

The 23-year-old - who became the youngest world champion in the sport's history at a thrilling race in Brazil on Sunday - said Nicole had been "incredible". "I'm crazy about her. She brings out the good in me," was how the racing ace summed up his feelings for his Hawaii-born love.

"I wanted to show her where I grew up. We drove past where I was baptised, my old school… and old house. I have happy memories of the town – and I still go to the dentist in Stevenage," he added.

After seeing the sights the duo, who've been dating for a year, slipped unnoticed into a screening of Bond movie Quantum Of Solace at the local cinema.

Nicole also accompanied her guy as he received a hero's welcome from 1,000 workers at the McLaren team's headquarters in Surrey. Delighted Lewis was given a tickertape reception – and a toy model of a McLaren supercar bosses have promised him if he wins two more world titles.

Lewis Hamilton celebrates F1 victory with Nicole Scherzinger

Pussycat Doll and racing champ party at Brazilian nightclub

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger headed to a Brazilian nightclub on Sunday to toast his Formula 1 glory.

The racing ace clinched the title in the last lap of the country’s Grand Prix on Sunday.

By finishing in 5th place, Lewis secured enough points to claim the championship ahead of rival Felipe Massa, who won the race.

To celebrate, Lewis let his hair down with Nicole, 30, at an exclusive party in his honour at the Sao Paulo Club, which kicked off just after midnight.

Now pals reckon the 23-year-old will propose to the Pussycat Dolls star.

‘He has never done things by halves,’ a source tells the Daily Star. ‘Nicole is a lot older than Lewis and she really wants kids.

'Now that the season is out of the way, I’d place a bet on an announcement of some kind soon.’

Nicole Scherzinger: Says she is pretty average

Singer Nicole Scherzinger says she is pretty average.

‘I think I’d rate myself as 5 out of 10 for my looks,’ she insists. ‘Right in the middle.’

Nicole is currently dating Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, 23.

But the Pussycat Doll, 30, wasn’t always popular with the opposite sex.

‘I used to be cripplingly shy,' she says. 'My grandfather was a preacher. I came from a very religious, strict upbringing in Hawaii and I wasn't very popular.

'Guys just wouldn’t go out with me.’

Singing helped Nicole develop a bit of self esteem.

'It wasn't until I got to high school that I began to blossom,' she tells Sugar. 'Even though I was shy, uncomfortable and lanky, my music brought me out of myself.'

Nicole Scherzinger's lover Lewis Hamilton wants to launch a music career with the help of his girlfriend.

The Formula One driving ace - who has been dating the Pussycat Dolls singer since they met at the MTV awards in Germany last year - dreams of one day storming the charts with his "good voice", and is confident Nicole can help him fulfil his ambition.

He said: "I do love music. It's something I'd love to be able to do some day. I don't believe that I have that talent, but I've had a whirl, like the millions of people who do.

"If I wasn't a driver, I'd try to do something that could take me somewhere."

Lewis hasn't ruled out the possibility of duetting with Nicole, or working with her group.

Nicole recently revealed the couple have already started working on material together.

She said: "He wrote a song for me and played it on the guitar.

"Mine is a very personal song. It's very in-depth and emotional - a real song that I know is going to connect with people."

Lewis, 23, has been practising his guitar playing and has been picking up compliments on his musical talents.

He added: "I play a bit of everything really, Bob Dylan, Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix. I sing more now than I used to. I have been told I have quite a good voice."

HE'S young, drives fast cars, gets paid loads of dosh and gets his pick of the PUSSYCAT DOLLS - not done too badly has LEWIS HAMILTON.

And his decision making is spot on too as, quite clearly, if you're going to date one of the Dolls, it has to be NICOLE SCHERZINGER.

Frankly, his choice is made easy, as the band's stylist seems to put more effort into Nicole compared to her bandmates.

The girl group were attending the Vodafone Live Music Awards last night and put in a performance for good measure.

Smug Lewis probably sat back and took it all in, knowing full well who the audience had their eyes on.

And can you blame them?

Nicole Scherzinger: Pussycat Dolls at Fashion Rocks Pre-Party

Few female groups can sing and dance with as much sex appeal as the Pussycat Dolls. And last night Nicole Scherzinger and the girls gave a very special performance at the Fashion Rocks pre-party.

The night was full of energy as the PCD troop took the stage, sporting plenty of skin-tight leather, vinyl, and spandex as they sang through their catalog of hits.

And just think- they were getting everyone ready for the big Fashion Rocks event set to take place later tonight (though it doesn’t air until Tuesday, September 9th) at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall.

This year’s Fashion Rocks extravaganza promises to be the best one yet, with performances from Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, and Beyonce Knowles.

Nicole Scherzinger smitten with boyfriend of nine months

Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger is clearly smitten with her boyfriend of nine months, British Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, 23.

The racing driver is a real romantic and knows how to impress a lady.

'He wrote a song for me and played it on the guitar,' Nicole reveals, blushing.

She has repaid the compliment by dedicating new album track I Think I’m In Love to her man.

The devoted couple just wish they could escape the attention of the paparazzi.

'It bothers me because I didn’t get into the industry for that,' says the 30-year-old. 'You just have to realise that it’s a part of what you do and embrace it and make sure you’re poised to represent yourself the best way that you can.'

Unfounded tabloid rumours about the state of their relationship also have to be brushed off.

'We just try to stay out of it all and keep to ourselves,' Nicole tells Now. 'We don’t read it. We used to read that stuff and then we’d get scared and ask each other: "Did we break up yesterday? I didn’t know."

‘"Did you break up with me?" "No, did you break up with me?" "Oh, great – then we’re still together." It’s hard enough to have a relationship in this industry without having the press involved, too.'

Nicole Scherzinger worried paparazzi might take pantie shots!

Nicole Scherzinger is worried paparazzi might take photographs of her underwear.

The Pussycat Dolls star admits she and her bandmates are all so "scared" a photographer might aim a camera under their dresses when they go out they are always on their guard.

She said: "The UK is the first place we were warned about under-dress shots. We've been scared ever since."

However, the 30-year-old singer accepts being followed by the paparazzi is all part of the job and says the best way to deal with the attention is to plan ahead.

She added to Britain's Now magazine: "It bothers me because I didn't get into the industry for that. But you just have to plan stuff out.

"It's not the attention that I personally want to get, but sometimes you just have to realise that it's a part of what you do and embrace it and make sure you're poised to represent yourself the best way you can."

Nicole has also revealed her current boyfriend, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, is a real romantic and has even penned a love song for her.

She said: "He wrote a song for me and played it on the guitar."

Nicole Scherzinger says being famous is hard work

Nicole Scherzinger says being famous is hard work.

The Pussycat Dolls singer - who is currently dating British Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton - insists fans don't realise just how much effort goes into being a pop star.

She said: "It's not as glamourous as people think. It has its ups and downs. There can be a lot of intrusion into your private life, but I want to be known for my music.

"It's not partying all the time - sometimes when I get the chance I am too tired to party! People don't see the work that goes in to touring but it's definitely worth it."

Despite being in a relationship with Lewis, Nicole thinks one of the strangest things about fame is the number of different men she is romantically linked with.

The 30-year-old star - who was recently reported to be dating Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am after allegedly being spotted smooching with him at Los Angeles' Opera nightclub - added to MTV: "I find that sort of thing funny. That was the funniest thing when someone told me I was supposed to be dating Will. He is like my brother, I don't know when the last time I saw him was. He has been on tour."

Although Nicole is remaining coy about her relationship with 22-year-old Lewis, she knows what qualities her perfect man should have.

The 'Don't Cha' singer - who first met Lewis at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich, Germany, last November - said: "I look for someone with a good heart. Someone who is confident and successful and goes after what he wants. I love a guy with a great sense of humour."

John Mayer Gets Some Pussy(cat)

She probably likes when he wears that Borat thong. The newly tattoed John Mayer has reportedly made some sort of gross connection with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. What do these two have in common except for the plastic sheen of fame? He sings Starbucks-ready crap melodies and wrestles with his gayness and she's a post-op that lip synchs and encourages tween girls to wear thongs and tight hoodies.

The two were spotted doing that thing you do with the can and the noodle at Villa nightclub in LA last night.

"They were chatting and getting really close - she was into it," a source said. I bet, he makes more money than her. The two left within minutes of each other, which means they went and had sex behind a dumpster. Did Perez show up when Mayer wanted a real man? Don't you wish your girlfriend took hormones like me?
