( CM ) - PUSSYCAT DOLLS singer CARMIT BACHAR has confirmed she's left the girl group. Bachar was the only original member of the Los Angeles-based burlesque dance troupe from which the band was formed. She writes on the Pussycat Dolls' 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." Pussycat Dolls have no plans to replace Bachar and will carry on as a five-piece.
