Nicole Scherzinger Shelves Solo Album for Broadway Triumph

SCANDALOUS SINGER SHIFTS FOCUS FROM MUSIC TO THEATRE AS TONY AWARD-WINNING CAREER SOARS!

Nicole Scherzinger, the 45-year-old songstress who once reigned supreme as the queen of pop with The Pussycat Dolls, has dramatically shelved her upcoming solo album amidst a whirlwind Broadway career that has left everyone gobsmacked!

As we previously reported, Nicole had been working on an album in 2022, but things took a dramatic turn when she landed the lead role as Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard in London. The show was a massive hit, earning her a Tony Award and a Laurence Olivier Award - talk about a career revival!

But here's the juicy part: sources close to Nicole claim that she spent a small fortune on that abandoned album after being dropped from her record label in 2015. Yeah, you read that right - a whole lotta cash went up in flames because she got too caught up in the thrill of being on stage!

And now, as Nicole basks in the glory of her Broadway success, she's allegedly put her music career on the backburner indefinitely. When asked about the shelved album, an insider spilled: "Things were really coming together and she was hunting for a team to release it when Sunset Boulevard came along." Ouch!

But here's the best part: Nicole has reportedly turned down numerous record deals since her Broadway debut, opting instead to focus on her stage career. Who knew that being Norma Desmond would be the ticket to stardom?!

We're not the only ones who think so - even Andrew Lloyd Webber himself can't get enough of Nicole's talents! The legendary composer has gone on record saying: "Nicole is one of the most gifted singer-actresses I have seen perform my work... she is fearless, musically and dramatically."

And don't even get us started on her Tony Awards acceptance speech - the lady brought the house down with her heartfelt tribute to the theatre! She gushed about feeling like an outsider growing up but finding a sense of belonging through her craft. Aw, who can resist those big brown eyes?!

As she accepts her Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical, Nicole thanked her fiancé Thom Evans, saying: "He believes in me when I forget to believe in myself." Aww, love is in the air!

But let's not forget - this is the same Nicole Scherzinger who once got into a nasty spat with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber himself over a cancelled Broadway production of Cats back in 2012! Talk about a dramatic reversal of fortunes!

And yet, despite that rocky past, it seems like Nicole has won over even the toughest critics. Who knew that getting dumped by her record label would be the catalyst for a Tony Award-winning career?!
