Wanna Be The Next Pussycat Doll?



No, seriously. We can only assume that lead kitty cat Nicole Scherzinger may be embarking on a solo flight soon, but already the reality show for her replacement (or maybe just an addition to the kitty clan) has rolled out. The show's working title is "The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll" and according to the casting call:

"We are looking for young women from all different backgrounds to compete for a coveted spot as a new member of The Pussycat Dolls. We are looking for women with heart and great stories who want to express their raw talent, inner beauty and femininity. If you think you have what it takes,
APPLY TODAY!"


Check out The CWTV website for more details on how you can become a contestant on the show.

"The donation will be used to help fund the construction of an alumni center on the school's Coral Gables campus. A room will be named after the couple. The center will include a library, gallery, cafe and meeting areas, and the university hopes to have it completed within five years, spokeswoman Margot Winick said Friday. Johnson played football at the school and graduated in 1995. His wife, Dany Garcia Johnson, a member of the university's board of trustees and founder of a Miami-based wealth management firm, also attended the university. The couple met at the school. Johnson is currently promoting the film "Gridiron Gang" in which he stars as a football coach at a juvenile prison."

Penelope Cruz Loves Her Fake Fat Ass


We kid you not, Penny developed an "emotional attachment" to her fake ass while filming the movie "Volver", particularly after having her own lack of junk in the trunk pointed out by the film's director, Pedro Almodovar.

Penelope Cruz says that when she finished six months of work on "Volver," the new movie directed by Spain's Pedro Almodovar, she was so wrapped up in her character that she faced an emotional crisis. "I couldn't leave the set. I didn't want to take my false ass off. There was an emotional attachment. I was a disaster for two months. I was unbearable," she told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, shortly before the Spanish movie had its gala North American premiere. Almodovar said he wanted Cruz to wear that "false ass" -- one of the more famous props of recent cinema -- to make her character, Raimunda, resemble an Italian film heroine of the 1950s. Sitting next to Cruz at a news conference, Almodovar dissected her body parts, saying the 32-year-old Spanish actress has a small head, an ample bosom but a "slender ass." As he pointed each part out, Cruz smiled. "The ass is very important. I wanted a fake bottom like Dustin Hoffman had in 'Tootsie.' ... This is what I want for her. Having a generous ass made her look close to the ground. These are important decisions to make because once you have the physical part, you can work on the spiritual part," Almodovar said.
