New Show from The Pussycat Dolls

In my next life, I'd like to come back as a Pussycat Doll. But since that's not likely to happen, I can do the next best thing, and live vicariously through their new series. Coming to the CW network on March 6 at 9 pm EST, the new reality show, Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, is a behind-the-scenes look at their search to find the next beautiful singer/dancer to join their troupe.

Thousands auditioned, but only one will make it. "Judges on the series include the group's founder and choreographer, Robin Antin, along with Ron Fair, Chairman of Geffen Records, and Grammy Award-winning performing artist Lil' Kim."

"As they guide the young contestants through auditions and challenges, the judges' personal styles sometimes clash, but their brutally honest critiques are intended to bring out the best in each performer. The Pussycat Dolls' lead singer and spokesperson, Nicole Scherzinger, is an inspiring role model to the participants. New dance routines in the Dolls' unmistakable style are created by Antin and co-choreographer Mikey Minden, who teach the girls one demanding number after another. In addition, Antin is on hand to take the participants through each challenge and demonstrate what it takes to become a Pussycat Doll. Antin's brother, hairstylist Jonathan Antin of "Blowout" fame, is on board for sexy hairstyle makeovers. Another important member of the team is singer/songwriter Mark McGrath, who serves as the show's host."

After a nationwide audition process, the judges narrowed the group to a final collection of nine , who then move into a loft in Los Angeles' fashion district during the competition. "Each episode has a specific theme - confidence, creativity and style are just a few of the themes addressed. Challenges include ballet dancing in toe shoes, designing an original Pussycat Doll-style outfit and learning a dance routine with male partners. In addition to Nicole, other members of the Pussycat Dolls provide advice and empower the girls to give their all during each challenge. Along the way, there are plenty of surprises, including celebrity guests and unexpected trips."
