When this new Pussycat
Dolls reality series was announced last year, an executive with
the CW used the phrase "female empowerment" to describe its
essence. When you see scantily clad young women singing and
gyrating together on a stage, the feminist ideal is what first
springs to mind. Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan would surely
concur.
Actually, this traditional elimination reality series that
is designed to select the next member of the Pussycat Dolls
song-and-dance troupe is more about selling sex than
self-reliance, doing so with all the depth of a toddler wading
pool. It incorporates the full array of unscripted devices
we've come to expect: manufactured conflict, driving music,
faux drama and the illusion of personality, all in service to a
plastic eight-week overview seemingly targeted to the
12-year-old mind-set.
Former pop star
Mark McGrath hosts and "Charlie's Angel"
director McG serves as an executive producer of what is
described at the outset as a "grueling" journey (they got that
right) in which women with impossibly lithe bodies move in
together to endure auditions, challenges and superficial
bonding galore. It's all run by Pussycat Dolls founder and
chief choreographer Robin Antin, who judges along with Lil' Kim
and Geffen Records chairman Ron Fair.
In the opener, we see 18 contestants weeded down to nine
amid much gnashing of teeth and shedding of tears. While
presenting routines, these ladies must overcome a stomach virus
epidemic and their own nagging self-doubt to persevere. It's
utterly featherweight and obtuse, in part because the
principals behave as if they're scaling the empowerment
equivalent of
Mount Everest.

Beckham, who moved to Los Angeles with her soccer-star husband David in the summer, is a big fan of the "Don't Cha" hitmakers.
The appearances later this year will see the Spice Girl, 33, follow in the footsteps of Carmen Electra, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears by joining the pop group on stage. read more
The Pussycat Dolls have been deemed too racy for Malaysia. Malaysian authorities have fined the organizers of a Dolls concert for allowing the singers to wear skimpy costumes on stage. The group, who recently performed in Kuala Lumpur, were also targeted for "gross indecency" and "sexually suggestive routines."
Justin Timberlake has slammed Ashton Kutcher for stealing his style credit.
The 27-year-old singer insists he should be recognised for making trucker caps fashionable because he started wearing them long before 'What Happens In Vegas' star Ashton.
Justin said: "It's funny, I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. Me and my friend Trace Ayala were wearing them when we were seventeen." read more
