Pop/burlesque/dance/whatever group The Pussycat Dolls is enlisting the help of reality TV to find their newest member.

According to the BBC, an eight-part series called “The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll” will air on the CW network. The contestant who ends up winning the televised competition will join the current Dolls lineup.

Like many TV talent competitions, portions of the series will be broadcast live. Would-be Dolls will be put to the test by the group’s founder and choreographer, Robin Antin.

“At its core, this show goes beyond just finding a new Pussycat Doll - it’s about female empowerment, self-discovery and personal transformation,” said CW’s president of entertainment, Dawn Ostroff.

Of course, the show will likely offer a hefty dose of Dolls-esque raunch and skin with its “female empowerment.”

The show is expected to air in 2007.
