Chewing the Fat on “Dancing with the Stars”

The next time Dancing with the Stars’ Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer gear up to kick it on the dance floor they may be aiming their feet directly at fellow pros Louis van Amstel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s rear ends. The ladies are reportedly displeased (to put it mildly) with the recent comments van Amstel and Chmerkovskiy made to TV Guide about the size of their… um… assets. “When I first saw these women this season, I said, ‘Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds,’” Chmerkovskiy complained to the magazine. “‘You have to do something about this.” Van Amstel also … Continue reading →

“Dancing with the Stars” News

Okay, maybe I’m a bit out of the loop, but when I heard that current “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur (she’s the one who can’t stop smiling) was expecting her first baby in a few months I wondered why in the world she was shaking and shimming on the hit TV show. Then I found out that a surrogate mother is carrying the baby. AHA! So, to set the record straight the 35-year-old Broadway star and her husband, “King of the Hill” writer Judah Miller, are indeed expecting their first child and say they were lucky enough … Continue reading →

Celebrity “REAL” or “RUMOR”—“Dancing” Star Gets Engagement Ring

“Dancing with the Stars” hottie Julianne Hough is the proud new owner of a diamond and18-karat, white-gold ring. Only it didn’t come from her fiancé. Or, make that, former fiancé. Rather, the mega-watt sparkler was a gift from someone who wants to be her new fiancé—-actor Kevin Connolly. The 33-year-old “Entourage” star is in L-O-V-E with the 19-year-old professional dancer. At least that’s what he told Howard Stern on his radio show. Last week Connolly told Stern that he has been “actively pursuing” Hough since meeting her at a Los Angeles hot spot last month. It is no RUMOR! The … Continue reading →

Celebs Look Ahead: Who’s “Dancing” Next and K-Fed’s New Gig

I give him until at least week two before he gets the boot. Then again, he could walk away with that tacky disco ball trophy and the title… I’m talking about Sin City icon Wayne Newton. We know he can sing, but can he dance? We’ll find out next month when the new season of “Dancing with the Stars” premieres on ABC. According to sources close to the televised dance competition, Newton along with several other media darlings will be lacing up their dancing shoes to shimmy, shake, and slide for all of the nation to see beginning September 24th. … Continue reading →

Dancing with Daddy

Posted on by

Here is an awesome way to bond with your daughter. Dance with her. Don’t wait until her wedding day and your future son in law cuts in after you dance with her to the song, “Daddy’s Little Girl”. Take the chance to dance with her every time you can. My wife and I homeschool our children, and we went on a field trip to Lincoln Center on the West Side of New York City today. There was an event called Lincoln Center Outdoors, and it involved live music from many musical styles and performances of many dance disciplines. It was … Continue reading →

Life After “Dancing with the Stars”

What is life like for someone who has just walked away with a glittery mirrored disco ball trophy and the title of America’s best celebrity fox-trotter? According to season four “Dancing with the Stars” champ Apolo Ohno, life without dancing is… well… hard to get used to. “After the show I started training again for the Olympics but realized quickly that I couldn’t go on without at least one more week of Samba,” the 25-year-old super speed-skater recently told reporters. To cure his withdrawal from shaking and shimming on the dance floor the Olympian announced he would be joining the … Continue reading →

“Dancing with the Stars” Update

“Dancing with the Stars” contestant Heather Mills laid it on the line yesterday answering the question no one had the guts to ask: “Is there the possibility that her prosthetic leg may come off while she’s competing?” According to TV’s “Extra,” Paul McCartney’s estranged wife—who had part of her left leg amputated after she was hit by a police motorcycle in 1993—said, “It’s very unlikely my leg is going to fly off, although it would be quite funny. I’ll have a strap on which I wouldn’t normally in every day life.” She added: “I’m quite happy to be thrown around … Continue reading →

Look Who Will Be “Dancing with the Stars”

The rumors have been swirling for months. Will he? Will she? In recent weeks, the $64,000 question around Hollywood has been: “Who will compete on the fourth season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars?” Last season’s contestant Jerry Springer answered the question a couple hours ago on “Good Morning America.” Some of the names were real shockers (to me anyway). Drum roll please. Heather Mills. In a previous blog I wrote about the possibility that Paul McCartney’s estranged wife may be hitting the dance floor, but I never truly thought she’d commit, especially since she has faced so much public … Continue reading →
