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” Curse Continues

Looks like MTV is not the only cursed network around. Just ask Olympic beach volleyball champ and current “DWTS” contestant Misty May-Treanor. The gold medal athlete is recovering from a nasty spill that sent her to the hospital Friday afternoon. According to a statement released by ABC, the muscular looker was practicing her dance routine with pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy when she sustained an injury that required hospitalization. Network execs wouldn’t elaborate on the nature of May-Treanor’s injury, though they did deny that she broke her ankle. The 31-year-old Olympic gold medallist has made it no secret that dancing in … Continue reading →

Celebrity Owned Hotels

I write a lot about actors, actresses, and musicians in the POP CULTURE blog and one of the trends I have been recently taking note of is the huge number of celebrities who are dabbling in other ventures, including real estate. And I’m not just talking about multiple homes, but many A-list Hollywood stars are adding hotels to their real estate portfolios. For instance did you know the B-52’s Kate Pierson owns the Lazy Meadow Motel in New York’s Catskills? And Clint Eastwood is the proud owner of Mission Ranch in Carmel, California? In fact, the award-winning actor enlisted a … Continue reading →

“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 →

Behind-the-Scenes Drama at “Dancing with the Stars”

Drama. Drama. Drama. From Marie collapsing to the Samantha Harris/Drew Lachey debate, “Dancing with the Stars” is not lacking for primetime drama. And forget about what’s taking place on the dance floor in front of millions, it appears the really juicy events are transpiring behind the scenes. In this corner… professional dancer (and Jane Seymour’s partner) often moody Tony Dovolani. And in this corner… persnickety judge Carrie Ann Inaba. Let’s get ready to rumble! According to show sources, Dovolani has come out swinging at Inaba. The pro dancer is still irate with Inaba’s call (the one she made weeks ago) … Continue reading →

Britney’s Home Away From Home In Fire’s Path

I’m not referring to the pop star’s sprawling beachfront Malibu pad that she shares with her two sons (when she’s allowed to see them). I’m talking about Brit’s rehab digs–Malibu Promises. The rehabilitation center to the stars (other unsuccessful alum include Lindsay Lohan) was forced to move staff members and about 20 patients as flames from the massive Southern California wildfires crept closer to the facility. Promises CEO told news reporters staff members evacuated everyone from the premises after the power went out and they could see flames coming over the mountain. Patients were reportedly relocated to an “upscale hotel” … 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 →
