The Pussycat Dolls Searching for NEW Member

The Pussycat Dolls are searching for a new member.

New TV network CW are launching 'The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll', which will pit pop wannabes against each other for the chance to become the seventh member of the chart-topping girl group.

CW president of entertainment Dawn Ostroff said: "At its core, this show goes beyond just finding a new Pussycat Doll. It's about female empowerment, self-discovery and personal transformation."

Casting sessions to look for the sexiest singer-dancers will be led by Pussycat Dolls choreographer Robin Antin and the band members will also be involved in choosing the finalists.

Those who make it through the gruelling auditions will have to prove themselves by living together in Los Angeles and performing weekly challenges.
The Pussycat Dolls - Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton, Kimberly Wyatt, Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta - were created ten years ago by Antin as a burlesque act.

Their debut album, 'PCD', was released last September and sold more than 4.7 million copies worldwide.

Last week, new single 'Buttons' became the third track to make it into the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number four.
