Take40.com – The Pussycat Dolls might have done a massive tour of the United States with Britney Spears, but it seems even they are not immune to the protective detail surrounding the pop star, according to lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.

When probed on what Britney was like on tour, Nicole revealed that the band did not see Britney once through-out their nearly 2 month stint as support act on the North American leg of ‘The Circus Starring: Britney Spears’ tour.

“No, nuh-uh,” Scherzinger responded sadly.

Not a single time?

“No.”

Her reasoning comes down to the busy lives of both pop sensations.

“We have busy schedules and she does too and we go on stage at different times in different cities at different times so it’s understandable.”

Obviously Britney’s team are still very protective of the fragile star, who had a very public break-down in 2007. Britney Spears takes The Circus: Starring Britney Spears to Australia this November for her first ever tour Down Under.
