Former Pussycat Dolls singer-turned-actress Nicole Scherzinger attempted to make her big break into Hollywood by auditioning for the much sought-after part of C.J. Parker in 2017's Baywatch reboot.

C.J. was of course the role played by Pamela Anderson in the original TV series, while the part in the new movie was ultimately played by model-actress Kelly Rohrbach.

Scherzinger claimed she began an intensive, daily workout regime to get her beach bod in shape for the audition, stating she was "hell-bent" on winning the role of C.J.

Obviously she didn't win the part, and added that she was "devastated" upon learning it'd been given to someone else. And in a comment that may or may not have been sarcastic, she added, "What is my year, what is my life, if I'm not in Baywatch?!"
