Whether she's in front of a microphone or a camera, Nicole Scherzinger is a bonafide star. It might have been her time as the lead vocalist in the Pussycat Dolls which put her on the world stage, but the girl group was really just a vehicle for Scherzinger to go on and do grander things. She'd had a successful solo career since leaving the band, been a judge on 'The X Factor,' and brought glamour to the race-track as the girlfriend of Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton.
As iconic as Scherzinger is, she's not quite as iconic as arguably the most famous Disney princess of all time. For the avoidance of doubt, that princess is Jasmine from 'Aladdin.' She might not have been the star of the film, but she was every bit Aladdin's equal, and a step forward in Disney's portrayal of non-white characters. Sadly, Scherzinger didn't get the part of Jasmine in the recent 'Aladdin' live-action film. We can't help but feel that was a mistake.
