Pussycat Dolls Seek New Member; Reality Show On The Search Is Set

The burlesque troupe, the Pussycat Dolls, is looking for a new member. So why not film the audition process and make an eight-episode reality show out of it?

Leggings

Back in the 1980s, leggings were everywhere.

Madonna helped make them all the rage, wearing them all over, including in her first movie.

Now, they're making a comeback and, once again, are a must-have accessory.

Mandi Norwood, editor in chief of SHOPetc. magazine, stopped by to show how to wear them, in The Early Show's Trend Report.

'KinderVision'

With so much concern these days about child abduction and exploitation, the community service organization KinderVision is teaming with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association in the "Greatest Save Campaign," a program teaching kids how to stay safe.

Ed Smart, whose daughter, Elizabeth, was a kidnapping victim who was later reunited with her family, is on KinderVision's board of directors. Doug Sebastian founded the organization. And baseball Hall-of-Famer Rollie Fingers is a spokesperson for the Greatest Save Campaign.

All three stopped by The Early Show plaza Wednesday to discuss the group and the campaign with co-anchor Hannah Storm.

KinderVision's Web site says, "Education is the most effective way to protect children from those who would harm them. … KinderVision is a community service organization whose primary purpose is to 'protect families through education via a unique, pro-active multimedia program aimed at preventing child abduction and child exploitation.' Prevention through education has been the focus of the KinderVision program since 1991 and is accomplished using several methods, including the "Greatest Save" Safety Quiz, the KinderVision child safety video, which is personalized and given away free at KinderVision events, and on-air KinderVision safety education messages, which are broadcast through media and school resources."

KinderVision posts messages at Major League Baseball games, and is affiliated with TV stations across the country that run its public service announcements.
