Nicole Scherzinger Shows Skin For Blender

By MTV.com

Nicole Scherzinger is on the November cover of Blender and, beyond showing skin (naturally), she reveals that she was uncomfortable with herself in the early days of the Pussycat Dolls.

"At my first photo shoot, I looked at the costumes and cried. I wasn't used to showing so much of my body."

The singer makes another revelation: that she's been single since August - when she broke up with Laguna Beach star Talan Torriero. She explained her frustration with dating, oddly dropping Ryan Gosling's name - who she has not been romantically attached to - along the way.

"You get these crushes on guys, and then you meet them and you realize you just loved the role they were playing. Like, who doesn't love Ryan Gosling after you see The Notebook? Then you meet the person and you're like, 'Huh? What?'"

Scherzinger added that she's holding out for "the hottest man in the universe." The magazine hits newsstands Tuesday in the U.S.
