HOMETOWN: Honolulu, Hawaii.BIRTHDAY: June 29, 1978.
WORLD FAMOUS: “When I was in South Africa I saw this head of a tribe wearing an animal he had just killed or something. He was like, “Ahhh! Are you Nicole Scherzinger?” I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? How do you know my name?’ And hearing this German name come out of him – it was amazing!
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE: Nicole used to date F1 gun Lewis Hamilton. The fastest she ever went in a car with him? “Let’s just say that neither of us would be allowed near a car again if we had been pulled over. It was in Switzerland.”

Say we’re in a club. Should a guy dance like there’s nobody watching? Would that catch your eye?
Uh, that might scare me. Sometimes guys take it too far when they’re dancing. I’d be like, “OK, dude. You need to settle down and have some control.”
You’ve got some sick moves. Do you just let the beat take over?
Yeah, I transport to another place. I don’t know what my body is gonna do. I just listen to what the music tells me and kind of blank out. I turn into a beast.
Got any girl crushes?
Halle Berry. She’s just naturally gorgeous… I love her smile. Wait, I sound like a dude – I’ve got to snap out of it!
You were born in Hawaii and grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Do you keep any traditions from either of those places?
I’m just a down-home Southern girl. I love making chicken and dumplings and Kentucky Derby pie. And from Hawaii I’ve got a love of paddle surfing. I love visiting family in both places.
