Nicole Scherzinger 'trained like an Olympian' for her role in Sunset Boulevard on Broadway
Nicole Scherzinger "trained like an Olympian" for her role in 'Sunset Boulevard'. The 46-year-old pop star won an Olivier for her role as fading actress Norma Desmond in the West End revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical last year, and now that she has been nominated for a Tony Award following its transfer to Broadway, she has admitted that she approaches every performance like an athlete. She told Spectrum News: "I trained like an Olympian! Before I go on stage, my friend was asking me why I went on the trampoline, and I pace back and forth like I'm a boxer about to go on stage. I'm an Olympian. That's the level that we have to get physically, and emotionally ready for this show. And I'm just so grateful that I have all that in my back pocket because I've always just wanted to train myself like a weapon and be on it." The former Pussycat Dolls star - who enjoyed success in the early 2000s as part of the dance/pop group with hits like 'Don't Cha' and 'Buttons - insisted that the part is everything she has "fought for" in her career so far. She said: "It's one of the greatest roles ever for a woman. I'm in love with Norma Desmond, she's changed my life and it's everything I've worked for and fought for and prayed for and I finally get to share my whole heart and all of my gifts in this production." Just prior to her stage success, former 'X Factor' judge Nicole admitted that she felt as if she been "discarded" by the industry because of her age. In a conversation with 'Susnet Boulvard' directorJamie Lloyd filmed for People, she explained: "I'm [46] years old. I've never been more strong — physically, mentally, emotionally. I'm in my prime. There is no better time for me to create work that is meaningful in this world. That's the tragedy: is that you're in the best place in your life. You're so fully, have so much to give, and people have discarded you, and dismissed you and said 'Your time's up...'"

Nicole Scherzinger shocks fans with her 'natural' face at age 46
Nicole Scherzinger has caused a stir online after showcasing her natural beauty in a new interview. The pop star, 46, sparked an unbelievable reaction after fans spotted the natural movement in her face during a red carpet interview at the Time 100 gala last week. Unlike other tightly-pulled celebrities with frozen faces, Nicole's visage shifted, crinkled and showed some natural signs of ageing. 'Her forehead moves… that's so rare to see! Lol she's stunning,' gushed one. 'Love her natural facial expression!! Non-Botox,' wrote another, while a third added, 'Her natural glow is everything! 'Let's embrace unique beauty and say goodbye to overdone, plastic perfection.' 'I want to grow old like her, my inspiration,' wrote another. Nicole is the latest celebrity to go against injectables like Botox and fillers, as more and more stars seek out alternatives to maintain their youthful complexions. Nicole Scherzinger sparked an unbelievable reaction after fans spotted the natural movement in her face during a red carpet interview at the Time 100 gala last week Speaking to Beverly Hills-based surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar had nothing but praise for the Don't Cha hitmaker. 'Nicole is an incredibly talented artist whose beauty is unmatched. She's always been a beacon for natural beauty that transcends intermittent trends,' he said. 'I think she looks phenomenal and I'm so happy to see celebrities embrace their natural beauty with a more realistic stance. 'It's refreshing to now see more under utilization of toxin and filler versus the overdone looks of years past,' he continued. Dr. Dugar, who is famed for his 'scarless' nose job procedure, said that A-listers are embracing a wider variety of treatments these days. 'I find it very helpful when my celebrity patients opt for better skin care, routines, and low risk laser therapies to enhance their injectable maintenance as opposed to trying to only utilize injectable enhancements alone,' he said. 'A beautiful painting, like a beautiful face, often requires gentle brushstrokes of many different colors rather than overdoing any singular color if you want a balanced portrait.' Nicole has remained tight-lipped when it comes to addressing plastic surgery rumors. Nicole is the latest celebrity to turn away from injectables like Botox and fillers, as more and more stars seek out alternatives to maintain their youthful complexions Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar praised Nicole's 'refreshing' approach and said that more celebrities are embracing natural beauty these days There is, however, one cosmetic procedure that the former Pussycat Doll is happy to admit to having done. In a video shared online back in January, Nicole was seen undergoing an Emface procedure at a clinic in Essex, England. Her face was covered with padded electrodes, which deliver radio frequency energy and high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation to the skin, to contract muscles below the surface. The non-invasive treatment is said to give a natural-looking facelift and smooth out wrinkles. The singer has previously denied going under the knife: 'For me, it's more about taking care of yourself from the inside out.' Nicole is currently in the midst of an incredible career resurgence thanks to her role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Blvd. She stars as faded film star Norma Desmond in Lloyd Webber's reimagined musical, which has won reviews and been attended by a host of A-listers. Nicole catapulted to fame as the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls (pictured in 2007) It is based on director Billy Wilder's classic 1950 film of the same name and first opened on London's West End in 1993 starring Patti Lupone as Norma Desmond, with Glenn Close starring in the Broadway run in 1994. Close also returned for the West End revival in 2016 and the Broadway revival in 2017, though Nicole starred in the 2023 West End revival. She took home the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and following a successful preview run - taking in $1 million in the first week - the show opened in earnest in October at the St. James Theatre. Nicole has received numerous standing ovations throughout her Broadway debut so far, including one that lasted a whopping six minutes. She first shot to fame as a member of the chart-topping girl group The Pussycat Dolls. From there, Nicole went on to have a string of solo pop hits including Poison, Right There, and Don't Hold Your Breath.

Kimberly Wyatt believes Christina Aquilera has earned the right to be a diva
Kimberly Wyatt says Christina Aguilera has earned the right to be a diva - because she is so talented. The 43-year-old singer-and-dancer "spent a lot of the time" with the 'Genie in a Bottle' hitmaker when Kimberly's girl group the Pussycat Dolls opened her 'Back to Basics' tour in 2007, and the 'Don't Cha' singer was in awe of her vocals and although Christina "might be a bit of a diva" she has the talent to back up the attitude. Speaking to the UK edition of Closer magazine, she said: "I spent a lot of time with her. "She's an interesting human, but I have such an appreciation for her talent. "She's one of the best voices of our generation - standing next to her and hearing her sing, the strength in her voice is the real deal. "She might be a bit of a diva, but you know what? She can have it." The Hits Radio DJ has "so many brilliant memories" of the 18 years - on and off - she spent in the Pussycat Dolls, such as when she "did a kick line with Jack Black" and saw Snoop Dogg "dressed as Santa Claus - called Santa Bizzle". Kimberly - who was in the Pussycat Dolls with Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Carmit Bachar - revealed: "I have so many brilliant memories, like performing at The O2 and seeing over 10,000 people sing 'Stickwithu' with their phones up in the air - I still have that little snapshot in my head, it's just unforgettable. "Way back in 2002, I did a kick line with Jack Black while dressed as a popcorn kernel for the MTV Movie Awards! "The amount of experiences I had just because I've been in and amongst all these people. "Snoop Dogg dressed as Santa Claus - called Santa Bizzle - I mean, that's a memory!" Kimberly - who has three children with her husband Max Rogers, Willow, 11, Maple, nine, and Ford, six - reunited with her 'Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)' bandmates in 2019, and was set to go out on the road with them again for a Greatest Hits world tour the following year, but it got cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nicole confirmed it had been cancelled via an Instagram post, citing "evolving circumstances", and Kimberly - who was on ITV1's 'Dancing on Ice' at the time of the announcement - was "in tears" after she found out from Google and fan messages because of "the amount of sacrifices we'd all made to make it happen". She told the Mirror: "I'll never forget, being on that main stage ice, getting ready for one of our first live shows and getting the news from Google and fans saying 'It's been cancelled!' – I was in tears, I couldn't believe it, the amount of sacrifices we'd all made to make it happen to have it ripped from our hands was devastating, I still feel devastated."
