"&amp;quot;When I grow up, I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star...&amp;quot; sing the Pussycat Dolls on their part-autobiographical, part-satirical new single. With their debut album selling seven million copies and yielding no fewer than five top ten hits, there&amp;#039;s little doubt that the girls&amp;#039; dream came true. We called up Kimberly Wyatt - the Doll on the left with the funky haircut - to find out more about album number two. The new single seems to be rather tongue-in-cheek. Was that the intention? &amp;quot;Um, I think we try not to take ourselves too seriously ever, but at the same time it does stand for a pretty big message that we&amp;#039;ve all lived through. We always believed in our dreams and our passions and as little girls we always just shot for the stars. This track&amp;#039;s like a life story.&amp;quot;  A lot of people think you&amp;#039;re singing, &amp;#039;When I grow up I wanna have boobies...&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Oh yeah, everybody everywhere is thinking it might possibly be boobies. It&amp;#039;s actually &amp;#039;When I grow up I wanna have groupies&amp;#039;, but I guess I wanted boobies when I was growing up too so it&amp;#039;s fine!&amp;quot; Maybe it&amp;#039;s the shots of boobies in the video that&amp;#039;s confusing people. &amp;quot;Haha! The video was a lot of fun to shoot, but it was also a lot of hard work. I think we made climbing scaffolding look a lot easier than it really was.&amp;quot; Do you know why Britney got cut from the video? &amp;quot;I honestly am not so sure. You shoot a lot of things when you do a video. Some things stay in but other things don&amp;#039;t make the cut and Britney just didn&amp;#039;t make it. I&amp;#039;ve seen a little clip of her performance and she looked adorable so I really wish she was in it! Hopefully we&amp;#039;ll work together in the future.&amp;quot; What can we expect from the new album? &amp;quot;Really it&amp;#039;s Pussycat Dolls to the next power. We worked with some really great producers - Rodney Jerkins, Sean Garrett, Cee-Lo Green, Timbaland. There&amp;#039;s some really uptempo, fun songs but there&amp;#039;s also songs that show the sensitive side of the Pussycat Dolls. We&amp;#039;ve messed around with a lot of genres.&amp;quot; What sort of genres? &amp;quot;Well, there are songs that show the more vulnerable side of the Pussycat Dolls. The sound is something different than we&amp;#039;ve really done before, it&amp;#039;s a little more Coldplay-ish. It&amp;#039;s kinda got an indie-rock vibe.&amp;quot; Only Nicole had writing credits on the first album. Did you all contribute this time? &amp;quot;We definitely all had input. We&amp;#039;re all artists and we&amp;#039;re all very creative people and at the end of the day we just want what&amp;#039;s best for the group. This album&amp;#039;s really awesome because there&amp;#039;s going to be a special edition where each of us gets a chance to do our own song. And we&amp;#039;ll all get a chance to do our own thing on our next headlining tour, which begins in January.&amp;quot; Has losing Carmit affected the group? &amp;quot;It did affect the group because she had huge energy and was an incredible performer. When you lose an incredible performer everyone else has to fill those shoes. If anything it&amp;#039;s forced us to step up.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;ve recently recorded a track with New Kids On The Block... &amp;quot;Yes! It&amp;#039;s awesome because we all grew up listening to New Kids. We were in rehearsal a couple of weeks ago and all of a sudden they showed up. We were in shock and didn&amp;#039;t really know what to do. We were all like, &amp;#039;Oh my God it&amp;#039;s New Kids!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Are they still sexy? &amp;quot;Um... I guess sexy in a different way. They have wives and kids now.&amp;quot; They get their tops off in their new video. &amp;quot;They do?! I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ve seen it. I don&amp;#039;t know... I never thought they were real sexy, but my sister was really into them at the time. She had the bed-sheets and the posters and she really liked Jordan. I&amp;#039;ll have to watch that video I guess.&amp;quot; &amp;#039;When I Grow Up&amp;#039; by the Pussycat Dolls is out now. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
