We are still probably months away from the new season of Pussycat Dolls Present, slated to begin midseason. Details on what Robin Antin is planning for her new group, girlicious, haven't yet been released. But we can make a few educated guesses.

The group members will have to sing, and, of course, be sexy. But almost as important nowadays for a pop group is dancing ability.

Kimberly Wyatt of Pussycat Dolls started her career in the entertainment industry as a dancer. She started dancing at seven, and won a scholarship at fourteen to study ballet with New York's Joffrey Ballet. When she graduated from high school, she went straight to professional performing in a cruise ship revue. She was approached by Robin Antin after working on a Nick Lachey video and joined the Pussycat Dolls.

Now, this past Friday, Wyatt used her dance expertise as she acted as judge for a rather unorthodox dance competition.

The dance competition was a virtual one in vSide. vSide bills itself as “an immersive, interconnected virtual city environment where you can hang out, listen to music, chat, dance, and make friends.” A Silicon Valley newspaper says it “combine the social networking of cool sites such as Facebook with the visually appealing virtual world of Second Life [and adds] the prospect of meeting music celebrities from the hottest young rock bands to the Pussycat Dolls and TV host Tyra Banks.”

Wyatt judged the virtual dancers, who either danced solo or in teams of no more than four. The dancers had already passed a preliminary competition in which they had one minute to perform their routines. The winners of the competition received 100 credits, which are the currency of vSide.

The announcement of Wyatt's participation indicated she was returning to vSide after a brief hiatus, so user of the social networking site might expect to see her again in the future
