The Paradiso Girls were a girl group and the brainchild of Jimmy Iovine, an attempt to create a European spin–off of Iovine's other girl group The Pussycat Dolls. The members come from a number of countries : Chelsea Korka from the United States, Aria Crescendo from France, Lauren Bennett and Kelly Beckett from the United Kingdom and Shar Mae Amor from the Philippines. They were signed to Interscope Records. Their debut single "Patron Tequila" featuring Lil’ Jon and Eve was released on May 12, 2009 and reached position 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.
Following the poor performance of the second single, numerous rumors of them disbanding began to circulate in the internet after some members began to remove the word “Paradiso” from their Twitter names but however band member Shar Mae Amor stated in an interview on UStream that the group was preparing for a third single while Lauren Bennett stated that the album is already finished and that the groups are just waiting for their record label to set a release date.
The fate of the group was then put to question when a brief disagreement broke out between band members Aria Crescendo and Chelsea Korka through Twitter, after Korka tweeted that the group was still together but each band member will be pursuing their own projects for now. A frustrated Crescendo then replied to her tweet by saying "why are you confusing the fans ????????? u know the troth Chealsea so stop pretending .......be truthful to ur hart for once".
Then on October 27, 2010, band member Aria Crescendo made an unofficial confirmation that the group was dropped by Interscope Records through an online interview hosted by popChamber via Vimeo. In the interview, she expressed her disappointment for the lack of promotions given to the group in return for the efforts put in by each of the band members for the last two years. She has also confirmed that their highly anticipated debut album will no longer be released. It was revealed that they had apparently recorded over 50 songs for this album including a song called "Bad Man" featuring Will.i.am. She is now currently working on her solo album under a different record label. Although the group's record label Interscope Records, has not yet released an official statement explaining the current status of the group, it is clear that Crescendo is no longer a part of it.
In October 2011, it was confirmed that Lauren Bennett had become a member of the Pussycat Dolls ruling out the possibility of her return in the group. So far only Chelsea, Shar, and Kelly are the confirmed remaining members who are currently focusing on their solo activities. The exact fate of the group is still unknown.
