You can catch the Pussycat Dolls performing at staple West Hollywood club The Viper Room over the next few weeks, but it seems their launch last week boogied off on a bad note and was a little more diva-like then it was dance-like.

The burlesque-inspired troupe performed just one song (their current hit “When I Grow Up”) and immediately after we’re told lead doll Nicole Scherzinger ran off stage in a huff. According to an inside source, Scherzinger’s pals made comments about her performance and the sound being off and she immediately gave the sound manager her two cents worth.

“It’s one of her pet peeves,” a pal told Tarts. “The sound guy then got upset with a coordinator at the venue and a full fist fight later broke out.” Ouch.

Reps for The Viper Room and Scherzinger did not respond for comment.

Even though the songstresses are known internationally for their super sexy style and for getting down and dirty singing such things as “Girl, there ain’t no pain in me looking at your …” and “I know I’m on your mind, I know we’d have a good time…” it seems they are attracting a particularly young following.

“We look out at the audience and all these little girls know the song and their singing and their dancing. We even have had little girls come back stage and tell us their stories about how they’ve been inspired by us and helped them get through,” member Jessica Sutta recently said while promoting their new album “Doll Domination”.

Scherzinger added they are “so proud” of their super-young fan base.

“We’re girls just like everyone else who had a dream. When we grew up we wanted to sing and we wanted to do this. We followed our hearts and we worked really hard for it and when you say that we’ve grown stronger and the strength comes from confidence,” she said.
