While dem other chicks have left Pussycat Dolls for failed solo careers (that includes you too, Nicole Scherzinger), Robin Anton is still trying to keep hope alive by milking her one-time only cash cow for all it's worth. Word on the street is that Antin, who guest judged a few times on last season's So You Think You Can Dance is looking to revive the slutty girl group with a reality show to be produced by Nigel Lithgoe (American Idol, SYTYCD) and reality fame whore Kim Kardashian.
There is a laundry list of names being tossed around as to who will be in the group, but so far the only two for sure I know are confirmed are former Paradiso Girl singer Lauren Bennett (whose vocals were featured on LMFAO's huge summer hit Party Rock Anthem) and former Laker Girl Vanessa Curry.
While Kim K has the talent of a snail (remember that horrible song The Dream produced for her?), it does seem appropriate that she would produce a show about a bunch of slutty girls who will be all style and no substance. it's also great that this time around, Antin will have four singers and two dancers instead of relying solely on one singer (Nicole) while other good singers, such as Melanie Thornton would spend plenty of time throwing eye and mouth daggers Nicole's way for the lack of vocal time she got to have on PCD tracks.
I think in this day and age with K-Pop on the rise in the U.S., and this need for male and female groups to hit the pop scene once again (especially the show I heard Bobby Brown was supposed to be apart of on a The Voice-esque show on VH1 where he was going to create a boy band), this couldn't have come at a better time, but I don't think people are checking for PCD anymore. In fact, people are still mad the original line-up have moved on and that Nicole is trying to be a solo star. It may be hard to get back in the good graces of the American buying public and gain their trust, because girl groups it seems has a harder time getting along and staying together to release more than two albums (I'm talking about you, Danity Kane). But then again, whenever a hot song hits the radio and people hear it's PCD or whoever, people quickly forget all the behind-the-scenes drama and just jam to the music.
