Nicole Scherzinger Loosened Up Her Buttons with Poppers at a Gay Bar

Nicole Scherzingers has been giving the gays everything they want recently, and not just because she reunited with the Pussycat Dolls for a jaw-dropping performance on the X Factor. A new report in The Sunclaims that the pop star and reality show judge "sniffed poppers" during a recent night out at a gay bar with her new boyfriend and Sam Smith. Ah yes, straight people doing poppers in a gay bar with their nonbinary friend, a time-honored tradition.

According toThe Sun, a fellow clubgoer said posted online about seeing the group out on the town "Last night was so weird," they wrote. "I ended up caught between Nicole Scherzinger and her fit rugby boyfriend and Sam Smith." The source said that Scherzinger's pals started "offering their poppers around" and that he "got to sniff the same bottle that Nicole used." No wonder her buttons are so loose.

Scherzinger has been busy lately and likely needed to blow off some steam. Last month, the X Factor judge performed alongside her fellow feline fatales at the show's season finale, mashing up some of their greatest hits -- "Buttons," "When I Grow Up," and "Don't Cha" -- and debuting their new single, "React." The performance came complete with a Flashdance moment, with the group dousing themselves in water as they writhed about on stage.

Scherzinger will head out on tour with the Pussycat Dolls in 2020, giving her many more chances to sniff poppers in gay clubs around the world.
