The Pussycat Dolls Perform Don’t Cha, When I Grow Up AMAs 2026 Medley
Three of the original members of The Pussycat Dolls — Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger and Kimberly Wyatt — reunited with their “Don’t Cha” collaborator Busta Rhymes for an explosive medley performance at the 2026 American Music Awards on Monday night. The newly minted trio, zipped up in skintight, red leather catsuits and matching red boots, sailed through snippets of the singles “Buttons,” “When I Grow Up,” “Club Song” and, of course, “Don’t Cha” while delivering heart-stopping choreography. Busta Rhymes, joined by his longtime hypeman Spliff Star, crushed his verse rocking red leather to coordinate with the high-energy trio. After nearly two decades away and a lineup shuffle, The Pussycat Dolls released “Club Song” in March and announced the ensuing PCD Forever Tour. Though the group later canceled most of the North American dates for the jaunt, the tour will launch June 6 at the Outloud WeHo Pride event in West Hollywood and conclude in London on Oct. 13. The Pussycat Dolls achieved worldwide success in 2005 with “Don’t Cha,” “Stickwitu,” “Buttons” and their multi-platinum debut album, PCD. …
Pussycat Dolls Cancel American Leg Of World Tour Following Low Ticket Sales
Kimberly Wyatt, Nicole Scherzinger and Ashley Roberts of the Pussycat Dolls The Pussycat Dolls have announced they’ll no longer be moving forward with the planned American leg of their world tour. Back in March, it was confirmed that the chart-topping girl group would be reuniting as a three-piece for a string of shows that would take them across North America and Europe, concluding with a run of performances around the UK and Ireland. However, following poor sales for their shows in the US and Canada, the group announced on Monday night that they’d had to make a tough decision. “We want to share an important update with you,” they began. “When we announced the PCD Forever Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world. “After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates.” While a one-off performance at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles is still going ahead in June, the PCD Forever tour …
Evidence Mounts: Sex Dolls Reduce Men’s Sexual Compulsivity
As adult-looking sex dolls and robots become more popular, more lifelike, and—thanks to artificial intelligence—more animated, a chorus of critics warns of horrible consequences: Increased sexual violence against women Objectification of women as passive playthings Encouragement of sex crimes, especially against children Destruction of real human relationships Triggering or aggravating mental health problems in users In a previous post, I discussed a study by English researchers who found that sex doll critics are mistaken on all counts. Their findings showed no significant mental health differences between sex doll owners and non-owners, and no evidence that, compared with non-owners, doll owners pose any greater sexual threat to women, children, themselves, or society. Now, another report by German researchers has corroborated and extended those findings. The latest study shows that, far from posing dangers to women, children, themselves, or society, sex dolls can serve as safe, benign sexual substitutes for men who might otherwise commit sex crimes. The Study The researchers from the German Institute for Forensic Psychiatry recruited study participants from websites devoted to sex dolls. …
Dolls beat screens for building children’s social skills, study finds
What’s the point of play? Is it simply a way to keep children occupied, or something more? For some, it’s about learning literacy and numeracy. For others, it’s how friendships form and relationships deepen. But it can be all of these at once, and more. Most parents recognise that play matters. But there’s less agreement on what kind of play is best. Should children be guided towards activities designed to build specific skills, like sports for coordination, or construction for maths and engineering? Or should the child’s own interests lead the way, regardless of perceived educational value? Our research focuses on a type of play often dismissed as “just for fun” – playing with dolls. Across a series of studies, we found that doll play can help children understand other people’s thoughts and feelings. This is a skill that underpins social interaction throughout life. There is pressure on parents to create the “right” environment for development, often filled with toys that promise clear educational outcomes. STEM-focused toys (science, technology, engineering and maths), in particular, are …

The hidden health benefit of children playing with Barbie dolls
Get the Well Enough newsletter with Harry Bullmore for tips on living a healthier, happier and longer life Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Playing with Barbie dolls can significantly enhance children’s social skills and foster empathy, a new study has revealed. Researchers at Cardiff University discovered that engaging with dolls aids both boys and girls in reaching crucial developmental milestones related to social understanding. This was particularly beneficial for children struggling with peer interactions. The six-week study observed that children were more inclined to use language expressing emotions and engage in social play when interacting with dolls, compared to screen time with tablets. Furthermore, doll play encouraged greater interaction with siblings, friends, or parents. Dr Sarah Gerson, of Cardiff University’s School of Psychology, said: “We believe that doll play may encourage children to engage in social interactions more and give children more opportunities to rehearse or reflect on others’ beliefs, emotions, or intentions, compared to other types of play. Playing with dolls has been …

Why ‘instrumental’ members of the Pussycat Dolls are refusing to take part in the reunion
The Pussycat Dolls announced they were rejoining for a special 53-date world tour and would be releasing new music ahead of their first performance since they reunited for an album and string of shows in 2019. Despite their news, fans were left disappointed when they realised the much-loved American girl band’s latest hurrah would only feature three of its six members: Nicole Scherzinger, 47, Kimberly Wyatt, 44, and Ashley Roberts, 44. The trio’s new tour, PCD Forever, will see them play 53 shows across the UK, US and Europe, starting in California in June. They will also perform their new single, ‘Club Song’, which was released on 12 March. Landing in the UK on 29 September, the trio will play their first English show in Birmingham, followed by dates in Nottingham, Leeds, Glasgow and other cities, before ending at The O2 in London on 13 October.
