Music Junkie Digest: Where My Girls At?

Surely you remember Sean "Diddy" Combs' low-rent skank troupe Danity Kane, the Pussycat Dolls knockoffs he vomitted onto the public last year?

The Kane are currently schlepping across the U.S. playing third banana on a bill with Christina Aguilera and PCD. But reading music blog R&B Week's recent post about them -- or rather the comments on the post -- sheds some brow-raising light:

Ciceroe says:
"Where's Danity Kane? The same place as Ness, Babs, that R&B chick (forgot her name, shorty that had the single with Jim Jones) and everyone else that was dumb enough to sign that paper with Puff. THE SHELF."
Soulful One says:
"I HEARD DIDDY AINT EVEN GIVE THEM A STYLIST"
Kerri...MySpace Superstar says:
"FUCK DANITY KANE..."

Meanwhile, speaking of Pussycat Dolls, The Village Voice ran a great review of new reality show The Search For The Next Doll.

The program sets out to find a seventh member for the girl group (because backing up Nicole Scherzinger apparently takes an army). Here's the hottest bit from the write-up: "Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray, in all his douchebag glory, is on board to serve as this show's ghetto-ass Ryan Seacrest. The only person to register any sort of personality thus far is Scherzinger, who seems like a complete dip." So, remember years ago when Mark McGrath told Rolling Stone that he's lousy in bed, "average-sized" and can only last a minute or two? God, that made me hot.

Elsewhere, in the ongoing woeful saga of All Saints, the girls have taken to their MySpace page with a statement to their fans: "As usual the press seems hell bent on repeating their negative reporting and we just felt it was time to say something official... We are so happy with the way our single "Rock Steady" went in November... Of course we're really disappointed that things didn't work out with our album, Studio 1, on Parlophone. We've just hit some very weird turns along the way with some of the media... We're going to continue making our music and we'll keep you in the picture as things go."

You can read the full statement here. And finally, this week 10 years ago (!), Spice Girls were riding high in both the U.S. and the U.K.

They were in the midst of a four-week stay at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart with "Wannabe," while in Britain, the double A-side Comic Relief single "Mama/Who Do You Think You Are" was #1.
