Nicole Scherzinger Gets Another Makeover In The Name Of Saving Her Career
Undaunted by the eternal shelving of her very expensive solo album, lead Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger is still trying every trick in the book to be taken seriously as An Artist. The latest: A promotion for a Brazil-inspired Caress Body Wash (with passion flower cream and acai oil!) that features La Scherz singing lead on the “Caress Brazilian Mix” of Duran Duran’s “Rio,” a song that really didn’t need to be remade and that certainly didn’t need to be remade with her thin vocals and a super-cheesy-sounding “Latin” guitar line. Somehow she hasn’t realized yet that the American public can’t miss her if she hasn’t gone away, although judging by her brand-new stage name, maybe the people running her career are figuring that few people realized she was actually out there making music sans backup Dolls in the first place.
I’ve gone through the whole minisite and the word “Scherzinger” doesn’t appear once, which makes me wonder if she’s going to be hauling herself in front of a judge for a legal name change sometime soon.
