\n\tThree of the original members of The Pussycat Dolls<\/a> \u2014\u00a0Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger and Kimberly Wyatt \u2014\u00a0reunited with their \u201cDon\u2019t Cha\u201d collaborator Busta Rhymes for an explosive medley performance at the 2026 American Music Awards<\/a> on Monday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe newly minted trio, zipped up in skintight, red leather catsuits and matching red boots, sailed through snippets of the singles \u201cButtons,\u201d \u201cWhen I Grow Up,\u201d \u201cClub Song\u201d and, of course, \u201cDon\u2019t Cha\u201d while delivering heart-stopping choreography. Busta Rhymes, joined by his longtime hypeman Spliff Star, crushed his verse rocking red leather to coordinate with the high-energy trio.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter nearly two decades away and a lineup shuffle, The Pussycat Dolls released \u201cClub Song\u201d in March and announced the ensuing PCD Forever Tour. Though the group later canceled most of the North American dates for the jaunt, the tour will launch June 6 at the Outloud WeHo Pride event in West Hollywood and conclude in London on Oct. 13.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Pussycat Dolls achieved worldwide success in 2005 with \u201cDon\u2019t Cha,\u201d \u201cStickwitu,\u201d \u201cButtons\u201d and their multi-platinum debut album, PCD. \u201cDon\u2019t Cha,\u201d co-written by Sir Mix-A-Lot (whose 1988 single \u201cSwass\u201d is sampled heavily throughout the song), Busta Rhymes and CeeLo Green, has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Queen Latifah-hosted AMAs<\/a> aired live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on CBS and Paramount+ on Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe American Music Awards<\/a> were created by Dick Clark Productions. DCP is owned by Penske Media Corporation, The Hollywood Reporter\u2018s parent company, in a subsidiary joint venture between Penske Media and Eldridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three of the original members of The Pussycat Dolls \u2014\u00a0Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger and Kimberly Wyatt \u2014\u00a0reunited with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665545,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[251224,290761,64212,10546,88,216,242831],"class_list":["post-665544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-amas","tag-amas-2026","tag-american-music-awards","tag-awards","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-the-pussycat-dolls"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
