Fans mourning Glee's winter hiatus have something to look forward to: NBC's The Sing-Off (premiering Monday at 8/7c). Nick Lachey hosts the four-night a cappella singing competition that features eight groups battling for a $100,000 prize and an Epic Records/Sony recording contract. Judging The Sing-Off are Ben Folds of Ben Folds Five, Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men and Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. TVGuide.com spoke to Lachey about the show and why his hosting gig has made him miss 98 Degrees.
TVGuide.com: What sets The Sing-Off apart from the rest of the singing shows out there?
Nick Lachey: This is an a cappella competition so there's no band, no background music — it's just about the human voice. There's a lot of extra pressure that goes along with that, but at the same time when it's done well it's even that much more impressive to hear a great a cappella performance.

Hello, friends. Welcome to the first blog for The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. Before we dive into analysis, let me clarify a few things that I determined before the show started: 1) I’ve never watched Veronica Mars. Therefore, there will be no “bring back Veronica Mars” comments coming from me unless Kristen Bell is one of the contestants. I may not watch the show, but I do know there can never be too much Kristen Bell.Update: Damn, no Kristen Bell. [Wink, wink] 2) I am not under the illusion that this will be the greatest show ever. I am under the illusion that this will be one heck of an entertaining hour, and I hopefully will make it one heck of an entertaining blog to go along with it. 3) I will do my best to not constantly make cat references. “So-and-so is Purrrfect” will not be seen going forward. 4) I will also do my best not to randomly quote lines from PCD songs. For example: “I know the final nine girls have really b...

Starting tonight at 9 pm and for the next few Tuesdays, pit-bull detective Veronica Mars will cede her CW time slot to some Pussycat Dolls, namely The Search for the Next Doll, a reality competition in which a gaggle of gals vie for a coveted slot in the group that has purred such pop ditties as "Don't Cha," "Buttonz" and "Wait a Minute." TVGuide.com spoke with Robin Antin, the Dolls' founder and choreographer and an exec producer on the series, about this Pussycat hunt.
TVGuide.com: The Pussycat Dolls have come a long way. I mean, for a while there they were purely a novelty act, or at least perceived that way.Robin Antin: It was perceived that way, but to me it was definitely much more. I worked so hard to create the Pus
