The Pussycat Dolls are to star in a new reality TV series.
The show, The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll, launched by US TV network CW, pits female wannabes against each other as they compete to become the band's 7th member.
Each hour-long episode will revolve around casting sessions, watched over by the band themselves and their manager/creator Robin Antin.
According to Dawn Ostroff, CW's president of entertainment, the show will focus primarily on 'girl power'.
Speaking to Variety magazine, she said: "At its core, this show goes beyond just finding a new Pussycat Doll; it's about female empowerment, self-discovery and personal transformation."
The show is expected to air on US television next year.
The Pussycat Dolls were created 10 years ago by Antin as a burlesque act that featured a rotating roster of talent.
Their debut album, "PCD", released last September, has sold an estimated 4.7 million copies worldwide.document.write(unescape("
