“Dancing with the Stars” Curse—Another Death

Is “Dancing with the Stars” cursed? If you are contestant on the show you might think so. This season alone Jane Seymour’s mom died while her nimble daughter was strutting her stuff on live TV. Then, contestant Marie Osmond collapsed in front of millions of viewers following her dance number. And just last week Seymour was rushed from the “Dancing” set to the hospital after a bout of food poisoning. Now, more bad luck has befallen Osmond-—her 90-year-old father George Osmond died this morning. Ironically, Marie’s famous brother Donny was on the set of TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” preparing to tape … Continue reading

Marie’s Thud Heard Round the World

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. No. I’m not referring to the painful drop “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Marie Osmond took after her samba routine. I’m referring to the scores the judges flashed when the singer came to. Osmond got 21 out of 30 possible points for her show-stopping samba. Actually, it was what occurred after her samba that stopped the show. Right before the judges started to give their verbal assessments of her dance with partner Jonathan Roberts, a visibly winded Osmond collapsed on the ballroom floor. Roberts and host Tom Bergeron leaned down to assist her before sending the … Continue reading

Lisa Rinna—-Dancing Queen

Okay, she wasn’t the first pick to replace new mom Samantha Harris on “Dancing with the Stars,” but now we may know why. Lisa Rinna is no longer competing for the mirrored disco ball trophy, but she’s still quick stepping with professional dance partner Louis Van Amstel. The actress has parlayed her “Dancing with the Stars” fame into a new gig that involves shaking and shimming with Average Joes. Rinna and Van Amstel have joined forces yet again on a venture that allows you to samba with the plump-lipped actress for $20. Oh, it’s no joke. Rinna made the announcement … Continue reading

“Dancing’s” Samantha Harris Under Fire

Did you watch “Dancing with the Stars” last night? While the contestants and the audience were up in arms about the brouhaha regarding illegal lifts, viewers at home were fired up about another portion of the program. Namely co-host Samantha Harris. Harris returned to the show last night for the first time since giving birth to her first child three weeks ago. The decision obviously didn’t sit well with millions of fans who took their ire to dozens of Internet chat rooms and message boards. MAN! I am glad I’m not Harris. That woman is being raked over the coals … Continue reading

Floyd Stirs Up Trouble On “Dancing with the Stars”

C’mon Floyd not the discrimination card… Let me start by saying I can’t dance—-period. However, I’ve enjoyed watching world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather float like a butterfly on this season’s “Dancing with the Stars.” His enthusiasm is apparent and he moves very well. Despite this, a few days ago Mayweather and his professional dancing partner Karina Smirnoff were red-lighted and faced elimination. They were saved when dancing rival Wayne Newton got the boot, but instead staying quiet and just being happy with the opportunity to move on in the competition Mayweather started flapping his lips. The pro boxer told various … Continue reading

Jane Seymour Suffers A Major Loss

This has nothing to do with Jane Seymour’s performance on last night’s “Dancing with the Stars.” In fact, at this hour I highly doubt the award-winning actress is even thinking about the quickstep, mambo, or cha cha. Seymour’s 92-year-old mother, Mieke Frankenberg, passed away in England on Monday due to complications from a stroke she suffered earlier this year, according to the actress’ rep. As a result, Seymour announced she would not be appearing on tonight’s “Dancing with the Stars” live results show; rather she is en route to England to be with her family and attend funeral services. Personally, … Continue reading

“Dancing With The Stars” Needs A New Co-Host

Samantha Harris should have known better. The E! News correspondent and Dancing with the Stars co-host stated publicly (on numerous occasions) that she planned to appear on the popular ABC dance contest until mid-October, that’s when Harris was due to give birth to her first child. Tonight is the big season premiere of the show and Harris will be a no show… with good reason. Her new daughter decided she didn’t want to share her mom with the rest of the country. According to E! News, 33-year-old Harris and her husband, financial wholesaler Michael Hess, welcomed daughter Josselyn Sydney Hess … Continue reading

Ciao Rosie!

The fact that CNN is calling the report “Breaking News” says a lot about the state of our world, doesn’t it? It’s the news some knew would be coming and others hoped would be coming (Donald Trump and Co.)—Rosie O’Donnell will be leaving ABC’s “The View” in June. I just watched the controversial co-host announce her departure live on “The View” and she didn’t seem to be upset about it at all. According to O’Donnell, she wasn’t able to agree on contract details with ABC (she says they wanted her to sign a 3-year deal and she only wanted to … Continue reading
