dan tentunya PussyCatDolls menjadi besar seperti saat ini berkat sentuhan tangan dinginnya sebgai koreogrphy dan pendiri PussyCatDolls.Sebenernya siapa sich Robin antin Itu...
Nah,setelah gw obrak-abrik berbagai sumber,kini gw bakal kasi' info tentang Robin Antin Ini...
ini dia dari berbagai media...
..."Robin Antin didn't figure out the equation until years after she started the Pussycat Dolls.
"I'm inspired by everything from the oldest burlesque dancers, like Lili St. Cyr, to the Sex Pistols. I've realized that if you put those two things together, it makes `The Rocky Horror Show.' "
And "Rocky Horror" was an early influence on the pop-culture fusion that led to Antin's new twist on old-school burlesque. The song-and-dance troupe now has its own dedicated club, the Pussycat Dolls Lounge, inside Caesars Palace.
A chat with the animated choreographer turns up other inspirations for the Los Angeles club phenomenon that revived the campy spirit of striptease with a modern flair. Ann-Margret. Marilyn Monroe. Cyd Charisse. And don't forget Bob Fosse, whose choreography marked "a turning point for me in my life. It was just so rich and so different."
A guest appearance by Eva Longoria of "Desperate Housewives" officially launches the new venue during a private party on Saturday, before it opens to the public at 10 p.m.
Celebrity turns by the likes of Carmen Electra, Christina Applegate and Gwen Stefani fueled the buzz factor for the troupe, leading to a partnership with local nightclub entrepreneur Robert Frey.
"We kind of liked the fact that they had celebrity performers all the time," Frey says. He calls the new club -- adjacent to the larger Pure (both replacing the space once occupied by Caesars Magical Empire) -- "our year 2005 interpretation of what a lounge was 40 years ago."
"It blends in a lot of elements, nightclub, show, lounge, and fuses the three of them together," he says of the lounge that will be open earlier -- 4 p.m. -- and more days of the week than Pure.
"When people tell me other clubs are doing burlesque, I say fine," Antin says, waving a dismissive hand. "We've moved so far beyond that."
So far beyond that a whole new pack of Dolls was recruited to perform in the Las Vegas club, freeing the original cast to pursue movies and pop music. The Dolls had a song called "Sway" on the soundtrack to "Shall We Dance," and appeared in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."
And they soon plan to film a music video for a new single called "Don't Cha," due April 19.
"This club, this lounge, is where the Pussycat Dolls have evolved as far as a live show," Antin said during a break in rehearsals earlier this week. The room has a formal stage, but the women also do short numbers on the bartop and on pod stages featuring a swing and a champagne glass.
The Las Vegas troupe is fronted by pop singer Kelly Levesque, who had a song ("Some Hearts") on the "America's Sweethearts" soundtrack and will pursue her recording career in Las Vegas.
"The great thing about the concept is (customers) get to go back to what they were doing," Antin says of breaking the show into short bursts.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles troupe is "evolving into something more (national), doing music that's more contemporary but could have a retro bit in there. I can take any song in the world and make it Pussycat Dolls."
Antin's approach reflects a Hollywood upbringing in a show business family. Father Michael is an artist and mother Brenda is a former film executive and interior decorator.
One brother Johnathan, is a hair stylist featured in the Bravo reality series "Blow Out." The other, Steve, acted in "The Goonies" and now is a filmmaker who lends a supporting hand to his sister's Dolls work.
Robin was working as a choreographer for music videos and TV commercials when she met Applegate in a dance class. The two became best friends and eventually roommates, working out routines in the actress' home dance studio.
Choreography usually starts with the steps, "but for me it started with the costumes," Antin says. "I actually made the costumes before I came up with the show. It was based around the clothing."
Applegate saw the work that was becoming "a cross between Ann-Margret and a James Bond girl." She used a mutual friend to bring it to the attention of Johnny Depp as a potential weekly feature for his Viper Room on the Sunset Strip.
"(Depp) was looking at us like, `This is crazy,' " Antin recalls of the 1995 meeting. "Then I remember him saying to us, `This is why I opened the club.' "
The Dolls revue eventually expanded into the larger Roxy, drawing proportionately more attention. Celebrity guests such as Charlize Theron, Brittany Murphy and Christina Aguilera helped get the troupe on magazine covers.
Beyond any empowerment that comes from wearing fishnets and spiked heels, Antin says Doll-dom appeals to the musical theater and dance training usually buried in a TV star's past.
"Who knew that Christina Applegate could sing and dance? And now she's doing `Sweet Charity' on Broadway!" she notes. "It's like an acting role, in a way. You're almost in character when you're onstage."
Antin envisions cosmetics, lingerie and workout videos to further her theory that "Inside every woman is a Pussycat Doll." But the secret ingredient, she says, is confidence.
"I may find the most beautiful girl in the world, but if she doesn't have that confidence and that appeal, no one's really going to care.".....
