It was raining Cats and Doggs at a Tuesday night concert in New York to benefit UNICEF, when both the Pussycat Dolls and Snoop Dogg performed in honor of the children's charity. While Snoop's artistic contributions have always been ideologically aligned with UNICEF's work, specifically their fight against AIDS ("I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do, too"), it's unclear how the Pussycat Dolls are tied to the organization. Nevertheless, both Snoop and the Dolls found ways to mar the evening.
Organizers of Tuesday night's Pussycat Dolls concert at Cipriani Wall Street to benefit UNICEF, which also featured the rapper, had to fly in more than 10 members of his posse, first-class. Then, at the last minute, Snoop almost didn't go on because, "he insisted on having an Xbox in his dressing room," an insider said. "We finally found someone who lent us their kids' Xbox, and had to put Snoop somewhere on the third floor because he was smoking so much dope." Snoop and his pals were having such a good time they were an hour late making it to the stage, forcing the Pussycat Dolls, who were paid $300,000 to perform, to actually talk - which wasn't a good thing.
And what happens when you're UNICEF and you rely on the Pussycat Dolls to "just wing it"? It turns out that one of them will step forward, introduce herself and thank "UNICEL" for having her.
Let's hope the event raised a lot of money and that UNICEF learned their lesson. That being, when you're one of the most gracious organizations in the world and a presenter you've hired demands first-class tickets for his crew, that's when you go, "Well, we don't usually say this, but fuck off."

Amen Cord. Hopefully UNICEF has learned a lesson. Snoop Dogg is dope smoking idiot.
Who is Miss Red Lips in the middle? Is she the "new pussycat doll" or something? I ask because it looks like she didn't get the benifit of the PCD's stylist, hair/make-uper, smile/sexyness coach. I figured if she just won, there may not have been time for a Miss Congeniality style guerilla makeover.
lol
I admit, I don't know what the hell the Pussy Cat Dolls actually sing (that is what they do, right?), but I love, love, love red headed Cat's hair color. Props to her colorist.
Ok, all jokes aside…the 2nd one in from the right is a dude, isn't it? "She" always poses with her head down and I swear it's to conceal the Adam's apple.
Wow. That was interesting. I was looking at your post about the wax Matt and then I scrolled to this one and I kept looking at the pictures going hmm… it's really hard to tell who is wax or not in this one. Then I realized it was a picture of the real thing. Creepy. Half of them look plastic and waxy and *shudders* not good.
Lisa >>> I just did a little search and that girl is actually a part of the dolls already, Melinda. I thought there were only 5 dolls. Hm. Melinda isn't one of the "Search" girls competing so I guess she's been in it for a while. Grotesque makeup job though… well, hers is the worst but most of them aren't that good.
