Well, she did is more accurate. Like, a long time ago. Like 2000. Who the hell knew the moderately attractive Pussycat Dolls were rendering their rare brand of somewhat sexy dancing and terrible music so long ago?

In any case, long before you knew who Nicole Scherzinger was, Gwen Stefani performed with the original Pussycat Dolls lineup way back in the day.

The Hollaback Girl herself sang and danced in black lingerie and a headband in her performance of "Big Spender." Peep this video if you're curious.

Say what you will about them, the Pussycat Dolls have serious longevity. This is a troupe that's been doing its thing for almost a decade! Riley Giles and then men in Lindsay Lohan's life may come and go... but PCD is here to stay, yo. Loosen up my buttons, babe! I must stick wit u, girls!
