The Pussycat Dolls are heading down under and will perform a charity fundraiser to assist breast cancer research in Australia later this month.

The group – which began as a burlesque troupe based in Los Angeles in 1995, before being “re-cast” as a music group in 2003 – was created by choreographer Robin Antin and recently released their second studio album, Doll Domination.

The Dolls will hit the stage at QBH (of the Queensbridge Hotel) in Melbourne at 7.30pm on Thursday October 16, with all proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The girls agreed to do the benefit after their close friend Christina Applegate was diagnosed with the disease earlier this year.

Celebrity Family Feud is set to invade primetime next week, when it premieres on Tuesday, June 24, on NBC.

Hosted by Al Roker, the familiar show will get a star twist when 24 celebrity “families” front up to do battle on behalf of their favorite charities. First up in next week’s maiden broadcast are Law & Order: SVU star Ice-T and family – playing for Unity 2 – going up against Team Rivers, led by the queens of the red carpet, Joan and Melissa Rivers, playing for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

During each episode of the new series, four celebrity families will be pitted against each other in tournament-style fun and games, with the winners from each round moving on to the final round — where they’ll compete to win up to $50,000 for their designated charity.
