So You Think You Can Dance: The New Format, The All Stars And More
Kherington IS a Pussycat Doll
Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin has at last revealed who will be joining Nicole Scherzinger in the group after the departure of three members early this year. On Saturday, Antin tweeted a photo of the new group.
The four new members are Kherington Payne from "So You Think You Can Dance"; former Lakers Girl Vanessa Curry; Rino Nakasone-Razalan, a former Harajuku Girl and member of "America's Best Dance Crew" runners-up Beat Freaks, and former Girlicious member Jamie Lee Ruiz. Antin tweeted that the photo was taken after the Dolls performed at a private party.
In January, Jessica Sutta left the Dolls to pursue a solo career, and Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts announced their departure in March. Both Antin and Scherzinger asserted that the other singers' departure group didn't mean the group was over.
"PCD IS FAR FROM OVER! In fact round 3 is just beginning! STAY TUNED if u BELIEVE in PCD! Love you!" Antin tweeted. "Ooohh love you all! Keep sending me ur tweets, positive or not, it just shows u care! I knw there's a Doll inside all of you! I wanna hear!"
The new members have also been posting their own Twitter messages about joining the group. "Thank you Everyone for the love and support!" Payne wrote. "It means the world to me/us! Love you all :) xoxo."
Curry shared similar sentiments. "Thank you everyone for the supportive tweets!! The Pussycat dolls are ready to bring it hard for you guys!! muah :)" she wrote.
In March, as Scherzinger was prepping for her turn on "Dancing With the Stars," she sat down with MTV News to discuss the group's new lineup. "[The change is] kind of inevitable, right? When it comes to girl groups, I think we did the best that we could for a good chunk of time," she explained. "We had an amazing time, and then people change and people grow, and sometimes things aren't right for them. We're all artists — just go and be creative. I love the PCD. It's been a blessing for me. I don't take it for granted, so I can't wait to do more music."

Mary Murphy details her limited role on So You Think You Can Dance: “I’m back in the pool”
“Guest judges have to sit there and wait. It’s usually like two weeks out they’ll ask you whether you’re available or not, so we’ll see. I also give lectures on domestic violence, so, I’m also booking myself up in that way, too,” she said. Last fall, she revealed that she was raped and beaten in an abusive marriage.
As to choreographing, Mary told me she’ll probably be “tending to choreograph group numbers this season,” but if she does do partner dances, she’ll work with all stars and ballroom/Latin specialists Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis only, and whichever contestants they’re paired with.
While she wasn’t part of the open call auditions, she did help narrow 120 to 10, and was responsible for telling two semi-finalists whether or not they made it into the top 10, one who did and one who didn’t. In a change this year, that happened in the contestants’ homes with their families there, and Mary said that at the rejection, “I was crying, of course.”
Mary’s change in status on the reality competition “was a mutual situation that came between me and Fox,” she told me, because “I’ve wanted to spend some more time with my dance studio” and spend more time “creatively” because last year, “I just sat on chairs and sat in airplanes.”
When I asked how frequently she’ll be on the show, she said, “I have no idea” because “I’m back into the pool.” She did tell me, however, that “I would like to come back as a permanent judge … if the fans want me back.” However, she said that while she realizes some people “can’t stand my scream or my enthusiasm, I’m never going to change who I am.”
More next week from my interview with Mary Murphy, including her Broadway stint, injuries that will force her to have surgery, and how dance reality TV has changed her industry.
