Speaking in a 2009 interview with Complex magazine, Keri Hilson said:

I don’t want to be oversexed! I don’t want to sell sex, I want to sell music. I want to inspire others, I don’t want to be one of those people who’s always throwing their body at the masses. What good does that do? Besides sell records. Men don’t buy records, anyway.

Hmm…

It is no secret that the Pussycat Dolls is simply another name for Nicole Scherzinger’s gang of trusty backup dancers. This could not have been more evident than at ‘Fashion Rocks’ 2006 when Melody Thornton made the mistake of stealing the spotlight which caused Scherzinger to become obviously upset.

In fact, Scherzinger made it a point to position herself in front of Thornton while the latter was still singing her part of the song and attempted to force nudge her to return to the background. Watch the drama unfold around the 2:20 mark.

I wonder who this reminds me of…
