Baby baby oh baby somebody's gonna cry tonight
Somebody's gonna cry tonight baby

PCD Interview in The Sun Newspaper

HANGING out with The Pussycat Dolls is every man’s dream and every green-eyed woman’s nightmare.

The utterly gorgeous, stylish, talented five are also — damn it — good fun to be around.


Apart from lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, individually, Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton and Jessica Sutta might not be as recognisable as Posh, Scary, Baby, Sporty and Ginger.


But they’re on another level when it comes to singing, slick performances and jaw-dropping beauty.


In the past three days the American all-dancing and singing five have flown from LA to London, and then on to Malaga in Spain, with SFTW along for the ride.


Their hectic schedule has included back-to-back promotion for new album Doll Domination, with interviews, photo-shoots and wardrobe changes and tonight they play an outdoor MTV live show to a crowd of 250,000.


When we first meet at London’s Landmark Hotel, the girls look like they’ve just walked off a magazine cover — no airbrushing required. Surrounded by dozens of pairs of designer shoes that Carrie Bradshaw would die for, Nicole smiles: “I feel fine even though I haven’t a clue what time zone I’m in!


“I never sleep. My mind is always working, thinking about what we’re doing that day and the next. I’m just so excited we’re back. I feel very close to this album. I worked so hard on it.”


Doll Domination follows the girls’ hugely successful debut album PCD which went three times platinum, sold eight million copies and produced five UK Top 10 singles.


“Doll Domination is Pussycat Dolls at the second level. We’ve grown up and are now women ready to take over the world,” declares Melody, clapping hands adorned by some impressive bright yellow painted nails.


In Malaga the girls admit jet lag has finally hit them when we catch up in the hotel bar in the afternoon. Not that you can tell.


Nicole, more stunning than ever in a calf-length, flowing fuchsia dress which enhances her dark eyes and hair, reveals: “I only went to bed at seven this morning.”


Doll Domination is musically more adventurous than the poppy PCD album. Although the final tracklisting hasn’t been decided, I’m treated to 13 possible tracks.


Catchy

There are two Sixties-style songs as well as urban, pop and hip-hop numbers. Standout tracks include Love Gun, written by Cee-Lo Green; In Person, a Timbaland-produced track written by The Clutch; Halo with Eighties synths, and the catchy I Hate This Part which is the album’s best number.


Nicole says: “It was great to work with Cee-Lo again as he put us on the map. He was the one who did Don’t Cha, our breakthrough hit. Love Gun is such a different style and flavour.


“We’re a performance group as well as a singing group so visually, when we heard the song, we could imagine how we’d perform it. When the concept of the Pussycat Dolls first started, there were a lot of Sixties influences around so it makes sense to do a Sixties-style song.”




Kimberly adds: “And I guess it’s quite topical now, with singers like Duffy and Amy Winehouse having that Sixties vibe.”


Other collaborators include Rodney Jerkins and Rock City who wrote new single When I Grow Up — a satirical take on celebrity culture, One Republic’s Ryan Tedder wrote and produced Whatever Happens, and R Kelly, recently cleared of child pornography charges, and Polow on Out Of This Club.


Nicole says: “It is R Kelly’s first track back and whatever has happened or hasn’t happened, I cannot judge anybody. A hit is a hit and a song is a song and R Kelly is undeniably an amazing songwriter. So it was an honour that he wrote this song specifically for us.


“And Ryan Tedder is a wonderful soul. I think it’s a very powerful song.” For their first album, the girls were a sextet but in February Carmit Bachar quit the group to pursue a solo career.


Jessica says: “It was a bit of a shock. But the five of us have really got it together and have just been communicating better and growing really strong.”


Kim adds: “Carmit’s ambitious and she’s doing her own thing and we support her, we love her, but there’s more room now.”


But while the girls have lost a member it seems they may have gained an extra person in Nicole’s boyfriend since February. British Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has been with the girls throughout their travels.


Nicole tells me the British Press have been very supportive of her relationship with their sporting hero. When they recently dined out at swanky Japanese restaurant Nobu in Mayfair, the paparazzi took the photos they needed then left them alone.


Nicole tells me: “It is hard because I’m just trying to focus on the release of the album and I really don’t want our personal life to be public, because it’s hard enough to have a relationship as it is.


”But I do understand that there will be times when we’ll be in the public eye.” She adds: “To be honest, I don’t really understand what Lewis does but I’m happy he’s not in the music industry.


“We’re a good balance and we’re really happy at the moment, trying to make it work in with our crazy lives.”


While Nicole is loved-up with Lewis, the rest of the girls say they are DESPERATE to find decent men — and those they usually meet are terrified of them.


Difficult

Melody says: “My dad is already pressuring me. He said, ‘Find somebody and get married!’ Just like that. But I think guys are intimidated by us, especially when we’re all together.”


Kimberly adds: “And it’s difficult when we’re on the road because we’re working so much and then sometimes you don’t know people’s intentions.”


Likeably honest, the girls reveal hopes of achieving successful film careers (Jessica and Ashley), writing a book (Kimberly), and following solo careers (Melody and Nicole).


Nicole tells me that her solo album Her Name Is Nicole, which was due for release last year, will follow Doll Domination.

Their commitment and hard work is clear to everyone when, later, they put on a flawless professional live show for their fans.

Nicole says: “We do work incredibly hard. It’s not just about the songs but about the dancing. We’ve really put a lot of thought and work into a really great high-energy show. It does take a lot out of you.


“On the album I did every lead and background vocal with Melody doing some leads and the girls doing additional vocals as well.”


Melody adds: “It just made sense to invest in Nicole as the front-runner and she is one of the best.”


Jessica says: "“Taking care of yourself is really important. It’s just about discipline. You need to make that commitment to yourself with diet and exercise. It’s hard when you travel, though.


“I was just laughing at myself because I thought, ‘Damn, I haven’t been in the gym once on these last couple of tours!’ I get jet-lagged and my sleep is really important but we don’t have a personal trainer with us.”


The girls all agree that Nicole is the most motivated Pussycat Doll.


Melody says: “She motivates us all. We’ll be in the city and there she is on the treadmill for like an hour.”


Nicole says: “I always go jogging to keep my stamina up for singing. I want it to sound like it does on the album. We want everything with the Pussycat Dolls to be pure perfection.”


And, having witnessed three days of Pussycat perfection, global Doll Domination seems assured.



Pussycat Dolls’ single When I Grow Up is out digitally on Monday, as a physical release on September 8, while the album Doll Domination out on September 22.

Jessica Sutta Interview With NewNowNext!

http://www.newnownext.com/2008/08/jessica-sutta-f.html#more
Thursday, August 28, 2008

The Pussycat Dolls' sophomore album, Doll Domination, comes out September 23, and all I can say is I've never been so excited about pussy(cats) in my life! I have a documented obsession with "When I Grow Up" and with the PCD girls, in general - I'm not alone ... you gays know "Buttons" is classic - so I'm expecting campy greatness next month.

Earlier this week, I chatted with the Dolls' sexy resident redhead, Jessica Sutta. Along with her PCD videos and performances, Jess has collaborated with dance music maven Paul Van Dyk, and, of course, she loves her gays! Jessica and I chatted about PCD's mega-gay following and the time her own drag impersonator took her down in a game of Faggot Feud - she even gave a preview of her solo track on the upcoming album!

What do gay men mean to the Pussycat Dolls? Where would you be without us?

I think it’s when you have a huge gay following, you know you’re successful. They’re the best audience; they’re the best fans; and – you know what? – in high school, they were my only friends. So I owe everything to the gay men.

Oh, right - 'cause you've been a dancer forever.

Since I was three. And I went to the New World School of The Arts, and my major was dance. Girl dancers are always the worst, and I didn’t really get along with them! But I always had my boys.

Other than straight men who think you guys are hot, what do people love about the Pussycat Dolls? I couldn't know this, but I think you're very empowering to women...

You know? I believe it’s female empowerment: five girls who love what they do. And we try to inspire women to follow their dreams. But I feel there's the gay following too. We’re empowering them to be who they are and to never regret anything they’ve done in their lives ... to just go forward and live the way they want to live.

And it’s funny, back in the day at The Viper Room, you would think the straight men would come. No - it was gay men and women who were in the front row! [laughs.] You had your celebrities who would be there – you know, the guy celebrities – but other than that, we’ve always had more of a women and gay men following.

And why do gay men like the PCDs so much?

They appreciate it. It’s something that’s eye-catching and it’s fun - and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. I think that’s one of the things that attracts people to the Pussycat Dolls.

Now, did you play "Faggot Feud" a little while back at xl in New York?

Yes! We were so bad at it too! We played against the Pussy-less Dolls. It was awesome. It was the funniest thing ever, but they beat us really bad.

So they’re a drag queen troupe that performs as you guys?

Yes. They had each version of us. And it was awesome, but, of course, my girl beat me, so… I’m ready to do it again!

Do the Jessica drag queens ever get it exactly right?

Ehh… I haven’t seen one yet get it right. I have a couple of friends in Miami that go to the shows and they’ll say, “There’s this girl; she dresses like you; she’s awesome.” And then I can’t wait to come to town and see. I’m totally gonna, like, size her up, “OK, let me see your lips.” [laughs.]

So what would your tips be for a Jessica drag queen?

OK. I really like black eyeliner. You have to get the cat-liner right. That’s important ... and really nice lashes. And I like red lipstick, so line your lips really well… And now I have bangs, so get the bangs right.

Oh, yeah - I love you’re the PCD redhead now.

I know! I love being a redhead. I’m officially Jessica Rabbit.

And I read the money from Faggot Feud, you guys donated that to the Ali Forney Center [for homeless LGBT youth]. That's so awesome.

Oh, I know. I’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it right now. Growing up, I lived in Miami, and, like I said, a lot of my friends were gay. And one of my really good friends, his dad was trying to beat the gay out of him one night - and I saw him the next day, and it just broke my heart because … it disgusts me how people are towards... They’re so stupid. They think they can change somebody’s way of life, and that’s just ridiculous.

So that charity was really close to my heart; it was something personal that I had gone through. To spread that awareness - that you have to be who you are and not listen to other people – is just so important to me.

Now LOGO's been playing the dance video you did with Paul Van Dyk for a while now. What drew you to that project? Was it the dance music? Or Paul himself?

Oh, it was everything. I love dance music. That’s the music I listen to, primarily. I’d been doing music with DJ Dave Aude – he’s got a couple hits out there – and I guess Paul found out through the grapevine and then was like, Well, can Jessica do a song with me? And I was like, Heck, yeah!

You know, coming from Miami, it was such a huge dance background. I was like, For sure. So we collaborated, and it was awesome. It was the best experience ever. I really want to do dance music in the future.

It was so fun to hear your vocals too. You guys mostly do backup for PCD...

Thank you! It was fun to hear them too. [laughs.] But you know what? On the next album, I actually have a song called “If I Was a Man” – on the extended album. So make sure to get that!

Oh, right! You guys each get a solo track?

Yeah, this go-around we did.

"If I Was a Man"? What would you do? What are some of the lyrics?

Well the chorus is, “If I was a man, just for a day - I’d take my time on you, that’s what I man would do.”

And then, “Fun Monday night, Tuesday night, Friday night - every night! Why? ‘Cause I can. New York and Japan – with a stop off in Milan. After all, I’m a man. ... I’ll get to know you’re family, get your friends to fall in love with me. It happens just so easily.”

So it just talks about, you know, taking on the other side – if you’ve been treated bad in a relationship – taking their side and treating them the way that they treated you. I can’t wait to do it live.

You'll perform it in concert? You’ll each get to do your own tracks?

Yeah! That’s what’s going to happen. It’s going to be so much fun. I can’t wait.

As far as Doll Domination, if it's another PCD I'll be ecstatic, but is there anything really different about it?

It’s definitely a different album. It has a lot more R&B influence to it and a lot more ballads. And it just shows a really grown-up side to the Pussycat Dolls. And it’s going be great for the live show, ‘cause we have PCD, which has more of a pop element, and then we’ll have this. So it’s just going to show how well-rounded the Pussycat Dolls can be.


For the "When I Grow Up" video - those dance moves were intense! What was it like shooting?

That scaffolding number - when we were on Hollywood Blvd. – that took about a day to shoot. And they didn’t get any permits to close off the streets of Hollywood. It was actually a random construction site that we went to. So when they would shoot, they would just stop the traffic! And then we would do the number, and if you messed up you were just sooo screwed, because they weren’t gonna take it – and then they’d let traffic through. So it was a really intense day.

Wow ... I was going to ask if you caused any accidents, but it's good to hear they stopped traffic.

[laughs.] I hope not! I hope no one got injured.

I've seen you dance on a lot of things: poles, chairs, scaffolding... What’s your favorite prop to dance with?

Personally, I really love to dance on a ballet bar. It’s really fun.

Like in "Buttons"!

Yeah. I kind of have that idea for my video if I get to shoot a video for “If I Was a Man.” It’s fun to, like, move around with it, and you can get into quirky positions - and you can dip and… jump on it… Good times.

Oh! Stripper poles are fun too. I’m ordering one for my house. I get it next week. I can’t wait.

You’re getting one installed?

I’m getting one installed. Gosh… What is my mother gonna think?

What a week!!!

PCD is on and poppin'. I think I had one of the best weeks ever being with PCD. We kicked it off in London doing some press and promotion for Doll Domination, which is now set to debut September 23rd. We got the best fan's out there and its good to see some old faces.


Then we headed to Malaga, Spain.. WOW!! We have never been to Spain before and we had the warmest welcome. I felt like a real rock star while we were there. We had people lined around the hotel to see us! So cool.. hee hee. The performance was amazing.. the stage was set alongside the beach with over 200,000 fan's cheering and shouting for PCD. Was so awesome and exciting. I can't wait to get to go back in '09 when we do our world tour! Love you Malaga!


Then to top off the best trip ever we headed to Ibiza. Such an amazing place to be!! The highlight was when we got to ride on this beautiful boat on the most gorgeous clear ocean. The color of the water was piercing turquoise blue. We went swimming and dove off the boat, playing like little kids.. it was a dream come true. I feel most at peace when I'm near the ocean.. and as we were jetting across the water I looked up and realized how amazing my life is and how blessed I am to get to share these beautiful experience's with the most amazing girls on earth. And how thankful I am to all of you to allow me to get to do what I love. I owe everything to you..Thank you!!!

Much love,

The next song is on the new New Kids on the Block Record. It is called Grown Man. The song is relatively short and the Dolls aren't as present as we'd like. However, it is new music.

The next song is the favorite of mine!!! I love that Melody is featured, singing actual words!!! I love Missy! She never disappoints and this instantly destroys any cred "Bad Girl" by Danity Kane had!

When I Grow Up (Alejandro ~dro~ Album Mix)


I mixed the video version to match the single version, which I presume will be the album version. The same structure as the first version that's sold (which Nicole confirmed was a HNIN sessions song, below), with the girls' vocals as featured in the music video version. Listen below.

When I Grow Up - The Pussycat Dolls

Nicole Scherzinger PCD Interview

SOURCE

EXCLUSIVE | MTV News spoke to the star about PCD's new album and (listen up Lewis) what she looks for in a man...

Pussycat Dolls are returning to the music scene with a second album Doll Domination after taking a break while leader Nicole Scherzinger worked on her solo career. In the break she also met her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton at the MTV Europe Music Awards. MTV News caught up with Nicole to talk about the girls new album and her romantic life.

MTV: Hi Nicole- Is it good to be back with Pussycat Dolls?

It feels so good- on the plane over here I was excited because it’s been so long since we’ve been over in the UK and Europe. We feel really strongly about the album.

Why did you decide to stop working on your solo career?

For me it was what I wanted to do. I’m a relentless perfectionist and I realised that a lot of the songs from my record should be Pussycat Dolls songs including (single) When I Grow Up.

Next year I want to put out my solo album and I think the two will be able to co-exist nicely together.

How different is this album from your first with PCD?

Our old PCD fans will love it but hopefully we’ll get some new ones too. We worked with Rodney Jerkins, Cee-Lo and Timbaland. Having a break from the Dolls album I thought I could bring different styles.

We always want to keep people guessing. This album has a lot of heart and soul and songs that hopefully can connect with fans on a more personal and vulnerable level.

Does that mean there are more ballads?

There are definitely still the club-dance songs but also some ballads and more alt pop-rock songs. There are songs that people can relate to when they are going through a hard time in a relationship. Overall I think that this album says a lot! But then we also have a fun song called Take Over The World.

Which producers did you work with?

Rodney Jerkins worked on it and Timbaland exec produced the whole album. He had his own visions of what he wanted for the group. We have dance club soms and some 60s or 70s joints that Tim brought out of us.

Cee Lo did a song called Love Gun with a 60s/70s vibe too. When I sing that song I was honing it to an old Tina Turner or Aretha type vocal. Cee Lo is such a good friend of mine and our new song is not what you would expect.

Tell us about your single When I Grow Up?

Rock City wrote the song with us in mind. I love the sound- it’s really raw and really funky. It was good coming out with a song that people could dance to and that has an attack to it! The lyrics play with what it is like to be famous.

What is it like to be famous?

It has its ups and downs. It’s not as glamourous as people think. People don’t see the work that goes in to touring but its definitely worth it. It’s not party all the time like people think- sometimes when I get the chance I am too tired to party!

What about tabloid intrusion?

It’s interesting- I think my personal life is different, I want to known for my music.

There was a story recently about you dating Will.I.Am?

That is the funniest thing because Will is like my Brother and I don’t know when the last time I had seen him was. He has been on tour.

What do you look for in men?

I look for someone with a good heart. Someone who is confident and successful and goes after what he wants. I love a guy with a great sense of humour.

When I Grow Up is out September 8. Doll Domination is out September 22

New Ashley Interview "The Pussycat Dolls get their claws out"

SOURCE

The Pussycat Dolls get their claws out

Female First

She's one fifth of one of the biggest and sexiest girl groups around so we caught up with Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts for a chat about the groups new single When I Grow Up and album Doll Domination.

Hi Ashley. What have you been up to recently?

Just promoting the album, Doll Domination. it drops September 15th and we've just been basically on a promo tour getting the word out!

You've taken the music industry by storm, you're one of the most popular girl groups around. When did you realise that the Pussycat Dolls had made it?

I think when we just started to get to travel to so many places around the world and have so many different cultures know our music and know the words to our songs. I think that was when we were like, 'Wow this thing is so much bigger than we ever expected it to be!' It's pretty cool.

Your new single When I Grow Up is out in the UK in September but it's already been released in the US. What was the reaction like to it?

The reaction so far has been really great. The video's doing really well. the kids seem to like it a lot. It's been up and down the top ten in the states. We love the UK they've always been so supportive of us so I can't wait to see how they take to the song and how they like it.

Your new album Doll Domination comes out in September too. What can we expect from it?

I think you can expect a lot of different kinds of music. You know we have our up tempo dance songs of course that all the PCD fans want but we also have some really nice slow ballad songs that are really vulnerable and I think it's a different side of the Pussycat Dolls that maybe some people haven't seen.

Do you have a favourite track from the album?

Everybody asks me that but it changes every day! I really really love the music on this next album. Right now there's a song that we have called Elevator that i just love. i think the words are awesome and i think the kids will really relate to it.

You've worked with many people, Timberland, Will.i.am, Busta Rhymes, well everyone really! Is there anyone left that you would like to work with?

Yeah I'd love to work with Pharrell or Kanye that would be awesome. Even get some girls involved like Beyonce, Shakira would be fun!

Nicole, melody and Jessica have all done some solo work away from the band. Do you have any plans to?

Yeah i actually did a small role in a movie called Make It Happen. The Weinestein Brothers were part of it, Darren Grant was the director. And I actually had to turn down the lead in a movie due the Dolls schedule so I guess you can look forward to seeing that. And each of us are doing a solo song that will be released as kind of like a bonus, a separate part to the album. So I know the fans have been really anxious to hear each of us sing so it will be a really cool way just to get to know us as individuals.
Is that something you'd like to get into then, acting?

Yeah defiantly. I really wanna get involved in some romantic comedy stuff where I just get to have fun on screen and hopefully people will come and watch it and laugh and just enjoy themselves.

You haven't released a bad song yet so what is your favourite of them all?

Gosh, that's a tough one. it's pretty awesome whenever Don't Cha comes on just because it was the first song we ever released off the first album. As soon as that bass line hits it's like all the audience and the fans know the song so well so I guess I would have to say that.

You’re now a five piece since Carmit left, is there a big difference between being five and being six?

Yeah we definitely miss Carmit. She was a strong performer and one of our sisters and we definitely had to each step it up a notch having one girl gone. But we support her, i just recently talked to her when I was back home, she's working on her show. We all love her so much but the five of us have really come together and we're really close right now so I think it's stronger than ever.

What other music acts are around at the moment do you like?

I love Adele, I love Coldplay's new album. Lil Wayne's got some fun stuff out right now. i love Alicia Keys's new album. A little bit of everything, you know i love music so anything that touches me.

Where do you see yourself in ten years time?

Oh gosh ten years. I hope that I'm having a good acting career, maybe a family. A little bit of everything! Happiness and success in life.

What's in store for the Pussycat Dolls in the near future?

Well you know we drop the album September 15th so we're gonna be out promoting that and our world tour starts January 09 so we're gonna be hitting everywhere around the world and taking over!

We ask everyone we interview to come up with a question for the next person we interview....and Yolanda from Phantom Limb wants to know; “Are you happy with your record deal?”

Well it's definitely different, I feel like we kinda opened up a can of worms on starting record deals in a different way. But you know it's tricky but we do actually embrace the record deal because it has its pro's and con's in other situations that maybe other people don't have so each to their own. I'm happy with it and right now were renegotiating so we're trying to make everybody happy and get what everybody deserves.

Bottle Pop f/Snoop Dogg ?

According to PCD Vision,

(http://pcdvision.blogspot.com) the song features Snoop, in his second collaboration with the Dolls. This collabo is all original, as opposed to the rap he contributed to the single release of Buttons back in 2006. Looking forward to this song, supposedly it's a banger!!!

VMA Update


"When I Grow Up" is nominated for Video of the Year (as well as for Best Dancing in a Video)! Congrats, girls!!!

Hey everyone its your girl Nicole.....

We are in London at the moment doing press and promotion for the upcoming Launch of Doll Domination out Sept 16th and it is so exciting to be back! We hope you love our new single "When I Grow Up" and the video as well.


Tomorrow we head to Malaga to rock Spain with MTV, then on to Ibiza for some more fun in the sun, and our very own private party that we are doing with BWIN. We've never been to Spain or Ibiza yet and are super stoked! Come along with us and look out for some up to date pictures and behind the scenes from this trip and more. We are taking you on all our journeys:)

Let's have fun dominating the world together!!!

Doll Domination: All Vocals?

SOURCE
So the Dolls have started European promo this week and a few hours ago was the recording of T4's T-Mobile Transmission. I went along to the recording for their interview on the show, it was great to see them all, they were all really nice, beautiful girls!

I think the interview could have been more in-depth in terms of the questions they were asked, even though it was light-hearted and fun. Of course Nicole couldn't have escaped without being quizzed about a certain Formula 1 driver, Lewis Hamilton! I think the fans would have liked to know more about the upcoming album, what PCD's favourite tracks are on Doll Domination etc.

While the camera guys were setting up in between filming, Jessica told me that the song 'Bottle Pop' which features on their upcoming album, features a certain rapper (one of which has worked with the Dolls before)! Jessica also said that all the Dolls will get solo parts on the album - exciting!! PCD will be back in the UK next month to promote Doll Domination.

Their interview will air on Channel 4 (UK) on Saturday 23 August at 00:12 and 9am that morning.

PA Sticker? Hmmm....

Cats Are So Hot
PUSSYCAT DOLL star Nicole Scherzinger and her band set temperatures soaring in a photoshoot for her latest album, Doll Domination. Hawaiian beauty Nicole, lead singer of the burlesque troupe, can't wait for its release on September 16. The album is so racy it will be the first Pussycat Dolls album to sell with a parental advisory sticker. It looks like Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton, who is dating Nicole, has lots to look forward to off the track.

What up PCD members!!

HI lovely one's.. I am sitting in my hotel room in London about to hit the sack and I was online looking at our webisodes. I have to say that my job is pretty amazing and I have some awesome chica's that I get to enjoy it with. Thanks to all of you that is I love going on the Internet and looking at all of the web sites and youtube collages that you put together. So cool and so fun to think I have people out there that really like me.. haha. We are here in London for a day or two doing promotion for the album and then were off to Spain!! yaay! Im so excited to go .. I have never been before and have always wanted to. You know how much I love the beach and were getting to spend some time in Ibiza which I heard is so beautiful. I can't wait.
Also I have to share with you the best experience ever.. When we were in Malaysia we got to meet the King and Queen white tiger and Lion..face to face!! It was the most amazing thing I think I have ever gotten to do as a doll. To look these amazing creature's in the eye, touch them and get to feed them was absolutely amazing. They were so beautiful! I took lots of picture's so I will try and get one on here so you can see.
Anywho I am off to bed.. Lots of love to all of you

Out of this Club f/R. Kelly


Not downloadable...not on this site. Supposedly this is a track on Doll Domination, but it features solely Nicole and R. Kelly (who ruins any interest in this song for me). I hope it's not for the album and that it is for R. Kelly's upcoming release. I am sure there are far better compositions on the disc. Listen below.

Chris Brown demo rumored for PCD album


A new snippet from Chris Brown is rumored to be for the Pussycat Dolls. The clip leaked yesterday, and is called "Captive" (the title may change). Brown sings to a male counterpart in the composition, leading many to believe it is a demo recorded for a female artist(s), or that Chris is a switch-hitter (just kidding!)
Anyway, you can download the clip below and see if you think it's good enough for PCD. Remember, Chris said he was writing for the Dolls, so anything is possible.

Pussycat Dolls on the Today Show


SOURCE
PCD will be performing at The Toyota Concert Series on "The Today Show" on NBC Friday, August 29th.

"Pop sensation the Pussycat Dolls have also been added to the TODAY summer concert line-up, joining previously announced Katy Perry and Jesse McCartney in the "Songs of Summer" concert on Aug. 29."

Usually acts play/perform 4-5 songs for a set so possibly new songs from the album will debut. Let's hope! I can't wait for the album.
