Snapping Stars

Not Ryan Reynolds, Anderson Cooper or William Levy, the Cuban hunk who just shook his groove thing on “Dancing with the Stars.” Talk about a celestial body. Sizzle, sizzle. No, I’m referring to the stars that illuminate the night sky. Picture this: The other day my daughter and I were taking advantage of the summer-like temperatures with a late evening stroll. Just as we got to the end of our street we gazed upward and saw two separate stars that shone like beacons against the pitch black sky. My daughter immediately wished upon them. Turns out they were planets. So … Continue reading →

J.R. Martinez Wins Dancing with the Stars

I think this is the first time a soap opera star has won the famed mirror ball trophy on “Dancing with the Stars,” but J.R. Martinez is far from a typical soap opera actor. I will admit that when I first heard Martinez’s name, I didn’t know who he was. I doubt many people outside the “All My Children” viewing audience knew who he was either, but now it seems the whole world not only knows him, but also loves him. Martinez had an abrupt change of careers do to nothing he did. Martinez was a good-looking kid who joined … Continue reading →

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 →

Are They Looking for the Greatest American Dog or Trainer?

Even before a reader left a comment on one of my “Greatest American Dog” articles about how could I buy the junk the show’s trying to sell us, I was already starting not to like certain things about the show. I’ll address more of those in a separate article to follow later, but for now I’ll talk about my main gripe: it seems they’re not so much looking for the greatest American dog as they are the greatest American trainer. Because forget what happens in the Dog Bone Challenge, it all comes down to how well the owner worked with … Continue reading →
