We recently got notice that "Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Doll" will air in the 9:00-10:00pm time slot beginning Tuesday, March 6th. And while we have no particular problem with the Dolls – seriously, could the music industry even survive without a constant supply of new stripper-rific manufactured pop tarts? – we do find it ironic that the show will be taking over Veronica Mars' spot on the schedule (just for awhile, V-Mars fans, not permanently! Don't freak). Get more CW schedule change info here!
We've always been of the opinion that the group was more focused on boobs than brains, but perhaps we're wrong. After all, CW Entertainment head Dawn Ostroff says this show – and the group -- goes beyond hot bods: "At its core, this show goes beyond just finding a new Pussycat Doll; it's about female empowerment, self-discovery and personal transformation."
And the series is produced by McG, who also gave us Supernatural (love!) and also had a hand in The O.C., not to mention directing movies like Charlie's Angels and We Are Marshall. He says he wants to see what goes in inside the girls (and occasional female impersonator) who are auditioning: "I'm most interested in the personal drama, about the (candidates) leaving their relationships or trust issues with their parents. It's about all the real-life stuff that lies within."
McG also says that there's a Pussycat Doll inside every woman. And while part of us thinks that the only way we'd have a Pussycat Doll inside of us is if we ate her (not that it would be much of a meal, with all that silicone), we're willing to give it a shot.
What do you think? Do the Pussycat Dolls push your Buttons? Will the show be Hot Stuff, or will it Bite the Dust?
