The Pussy Cat Dolls have made a slick art of amiable self-promotion. There’s a longish interview with lead vocalist Nicole Scherzinger:
Nicole’s journey from the awkward little girl who wore ‘church clothes every day’ to the woman I meet tonight (she describes her offstage image as ‘understated-rock-boho chic’) has been much longer and harder than her fans might imagine. Her Russian-Hawaiian mother, Rosemary, and Filipino father parted when she was just a baby and she was brought up by (and took the name of) her German-American stepfather Gary Scherzinger.
