Who can replace Nicole Scherzinger? The quest continues…

AND SO it came to pass: Nicole Scherzinger, devastated at race rat fink (RRF) Lewis Hamilton for having dumped her, blew off visiting our fair shores again.

Which, of course, poses that big question: Who can replace her?

Nicole was supposed to present the links and parts of the F1 Rocks TV show at various locations in Singapore. And she’d have been the perfect choice: Having been here a few times with the Pussycat Dolls, we bet she could even have told viewers where to go eat good beef hor fun.

Who else is that good looking and knows Singapore like that?

“We’ve got a few people shortlisted,” said Paul Morrison, the honcho of All The Worlds, the company that’s organising the F1 Rocks event here. “I don’t want to interfere with the process… we’ve got to be a bit professional about this!

“We have to just manage through this process and people can be quite touchy if you talk about their business in public before it’s confirmed. I’m not trying to be awkward here. It’s a complicated process but I refuse to be fazed by it,” he added resolutely.

Then he dropped this whopper of a nugget: ”I can confirm that Michael Jackson will not be on the shortlist!”

Thank goodness, otherwise I’d have to get John Constantine on the line.

Some of the possible replacements we think could be those who’ll already be in town: Gwen Stefani - well, if she’s got Kingston and Nester Rock in tow, she’d probably be at Sentosa or the zoo. A*mei – possible, but might confuse Swissotel with Taipei 101. Fergie – possible, but only if she’s not having a bad day.

However, Paul did mention of another presenter coming into town to present another segment: Rain, that oh-so-sexy Korean star. (Okay, I’m just quoting my female friends about the “oh-so-sexy” part because, you know…) 

Here comes the Rain again…

But anyway, Paul excited about his segment because he’s ”going to be a martial arts piece with one of the F1 drivers, so that’s going to be brilliant TV.”

Other brilliant bits of TV that they have come up with: Possibly RRF or even F1′s bigwig Bernie Ecclestone picking up Beyonce from the airport.

And Black Eyed Peas doing a pit stop challenge at the Force India garage. Yes, I can see Fergie plugging in the fuel lines while the guys change tyres, before telling the driver to watch out for the humps, the humps, the lovely lady lumps.

I’m definitely tuning in then.
