The PUSSYCAT
DOLLS were careful not to launch into any provocative dance routines
during the MTV Asia awards in Malaysia on Saturday (02Aug08) -
insisting they have a new found "respect for the culture" in the
country.
The girl band came under fire from authorities there following a gig last year (07), with officials branding their raunchy performances and skimpy stage costumes offensive to Muslims in the country.
The group's concert promoter also landed a $3,000 (GBP1,500) fine.
But the Buttons hitmakers were back in Malaysia this weekend (02-03Aug08) to perform at the prestigious music awards ceremony - but the stars took care to cover up and tone down their routines for the occasion.
Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta tells MTVAsia.com, "We are better prepared this time to perform in Malaysia and we have deep respect for the culture. It is about the music, not about sexy. We are going to respect the people of this country and the culture."
Britney Spears is to make an appearance in the new Pussycat Dolls video.
The troubled singer was spotted in Burbank, California, yesterday (04.06.08) meeting up with the girl group, who are shooting the promo for 'When I Grow Up' there.
An insider said: "She is doing a cameo in their new video shoot today."
Britney once appeared with the Pussycat Dolls as part of a special performance for her older brother Bryan's birthday.
The video is the latest venture for Britney, 26, who has been trying to get her life back on track since her breakdown in January.
It was revealed last week that she is in talks to star in and produce a new TV show, following her successful cameo appearance on comedy show 'How I Met Your Mother'.
A source said: "Britney met with Roy Bank, the president of Merv Griffin Entertainment. It was a serious meeting and they spoke about various programme ideas - including a new music show."
The 'Gimme More' star has also reportedly been approached about taking on the role of Sandy in a Broadway revival of hit musical 'Grease'.
