The Pussycat Dolls are a female
burlesque dance troupe based in Los Angeles, as well as in Caesars Palace in Las
Vegas. The group was founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1993.
A number of celebrities have also
guest-performed with the group. The dancers perform in lingerie and
old-fashioned pin-up costumes and there is no nudity or explicit sex in their
performances. The group has become nationally popular and has been featured in
magazines, television specials for MTV and VH1, ad campaigns, and movies. Carmen
Electra has been the group's lead performer for many of these magazine articles
and television appearances, and she has been featured on stage with the Pussycat
Dolls most frequently of all the celebrity performers. Nicole Scherzinger (aka
Nicole Kea), a former member of the American Popstars winners Eden's Crush, has
now become the group's lead singer. Other past and present members of the group
include Carmit Bachar, Cyia Batten, Kasey Campbell, Kaya Jones, Ashley Roberts,
Rachel Sterling, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt.
They congratulated themselves with
their first hit "Don't Cha" (featuring Busta Rhymes, originally recorded by Tori
Alamaze), in 2005 by performing it in a club for their fans. It has peaked at #2
on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on the Pop 100 and Hot Dance
Music/Club Play singles charts. It has also reached #1 on the Australian ARIAnet
Singles Chart, and debuted at #1 on the official UK Singles Chart on September
11, 2005. In doing so, the Pussycat Dolls became only the third ever girlband to
go straight in at #1 in the UK charts with their debut single, alongside
B*Witched and Girls Aloud.
