#PLL was such a time to be alive. Running home to find out the latest completely unbelievable plot twist for which adult is cyber bullying a bunch of school kids
Nicole Scherzinger won a Tony Award eleven months ago for playing a woman staging a comeback. Now she's staging one herself.
The Pussycat Dolls sold 15 million albums and 40 million singles worldwide. "Don't Cha" topped the charts in 15 countries. Rihanna opened for them. They performed at the AMAs in 2006 as the biggest girl group on the planet.
Then the group imploded. Robin Antin, the founder, sued Scherzinger in 2021 for refusing to do a reunion tour unless she got 75% of profits and full creative control. The lawsuit called it "extortion." Live Nation wanted its $600,000 advance back. The legal battle dragged on for four years.
While the lawsuit was still active, Scherzinger took a role on the West End. Playing Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. A faded star who refuses to accept that her moment has passed. She won the Olivier. The show transferred to Broadway. She won the Tony. Patti LuPone called her performance "courageous, audacious, mesmerizing." TIME named her one of the 100 most influential people alive.
The demand that was labeled extortion turned out to be leverage. The four years that could have been spent grinding through mid-tier reunion shows became four years building a career that now includes the highest honor in theater.
She settled the lawsuit in October 2025. Three months later, the Pussycat Dolls announced a reunion as a trio. On her terms. With creative control. Exactly what she asked for in 2021.
Twenty years after their AMAs debut, she walked back onto the same stage tonight in red latex, performing the same songs. The difference is she's no longer Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls. She's a Tony-winning actress who also happens to be in the Pussycat Dolls.
Norma Desmond wanted the comeback on her terms or not at all. Scherzinger got both.
I headed up ‘Eurovision You Decide’ and I still think it’s the most democratic way of letting the UK choose its song for the contest. Kate endorses this too so it must be the right decision. She wrote and sang Surprise Surprise, she knows her onions! #Eurovision
Re. UK’s result, anyone with functioning eyes and ears could see that coming. If you didn’t you’re as bad as the delegation choosing the songs. People need to stop being so positive and delusional on song release, it’s helping no one.
Sack the entire team. #Eurovision
