The Pussycat Dolls Try To Hitch Their Wagon To The Oscar Train

“I picture the Pussycat Dolls as sort of desperation made flesh,” Mike said to me when I tipped him to the Nicole Scherzinger vehicle’s newest song, which just so happens to be a remix of A.R. Rahman’s Academy Award-nominated “Jai Ho” that features La Scherz huffing and grinding her way through the lead vocal. It’s such a shameless bid to remind people that the Dolls have an album out right now, I almost found myself wishing for the innocent days when she was just trying to get her name in the news by teaming up with shower-gel companies and making exotically oblique references to her girlie parts. Please tell me this doesn’t mean she’s going to be one of the celebrity presenters next month. [YouTube]
