ABC announces new cast of Dancing With the Stars
Filed under: Programming, Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars, Casting  Dancing With the Stars is a show that makes no sense to me. I understand the appeal of it; I'm usually very interested in any program that involves celebrities doing ridiculous things on national television and I know that people love bright shiny costumes, but it still somehow manages to hold no interest for me whatsoever.
With that said, I know that the announcement of each season's DWTS cast is heavily anticipated and rumored for months before the actual announcement. We heard that Dan...

Mark Burnett wants to know why Howie Mandel got an Emmy nom
Filed under: Industry, Programming, American Idol, Survivor, Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars, Awards, Emmys  TheSurvivor producer is probably not the only person wondering that, but Burnett is getting a little more specific.
Mandel was nominated for his hosting gig on Deal or No Deal in the "Best Reality Host" category. Now, I'm just as surprised as you are to see that DOND is considered a reality show and not a game show (I think it's the amount of time they focus on the contestants and the family members on stage and the tears and the personal...

Your daily Dancing news: Selleck in, Leachman denied?
Filed under: Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars, Casting  Seems like the Dancing with the News news is coming fast and furious these days (it must be August). Yesterday Allison told you about Dan Marino not doing the show, and the day before that I told you that Dan Marino was going to do the show. Football players...can't make up their minds (see also Favre, Brett).
Now comes another name thrown into the mix: Tom Selleck! That's the latest rumor for the show. In fact, it's gone beyond the rumor stage and supposedly (emphasis on "supposedly") Selleck has already accepted the gig. Part of me...

Dan Marino will NOT be Dancing with the Stars
Filed under: Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars, Casting  I knew it! In fact, in the comments to Bob's post about who was rumored to be booked for the new season of Dancing with the Stars, I wrote the following: "I love Dan Marino. He's always been one of my all time favorites, but he was known for his arm and quick release, not his footwork!! If Danny is one of the contestants, only his blue eyes will keep him on past round one. I think In Touch is out of touch about this name!"
Well, today Dan Marino's spokesman officially denied the rumor. While Dan...

The next Dancing: Lance Bass, Dan Marino, Florence Henderson
Filed under: Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars  The naming of the new celebrities for Dancing with the Stars is shrouded in secrecy. Like when they name a new Pope. But In Touch has the details on who is going to be on the new season of the hit ABC reality show.
How's this for a list? Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson, singers Lance Bass and Toni Braxton (if she wears that dress in the article I might watch), reality star Kim Kardashian, football great Dan Marino, and rodeo star Ty Murray. Actually, the article above calls him "Jewel's boyfriend Ty Murray," which must be a terrible way...

Kathy Griffin says no thanks to Dancing with the Stars
Filed under: Music and Variety, Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars  Kathy Griffin may be the ultimate D-lister, but the Emmy-winning star of Bravo's reality hit Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, is really a smart cookie in my book. She told TV's Extra that she turned down Dancing with the Stars, a top-drawer, sort of B-list opportunity. "I have a hard offer for Dancing with the Stars," she revealed, adding that it's not for her. "I can't even touch my toes!"
Now, before you think Kathy was being haughty or superior, to me she was just being smart. While appearing on...

Heidi Klum will host the Emmys?
Filed under: American Idol, Survivor, Celebrities, Project Runway, Dancing With The Stars, Awards, Emmys  Indeed she will, but she'll have some help. In a change born of trying to keep current with the state of television today, the Emmys will be hosted by the five nominees in the Reality TV Host category. Klum will share hosting duties with Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Probst, Howie Mandel, and (the man that should win it all) Tom Bergeron.
It's a great idea. The standard formula of these shows is something just asking to be...

Which star wants to be the next Survivor?
Filed under: Other Reality Shows, The Amazing Race, Survivor, Celebrities, Project Runway, Dancing With The Stars, Hell's Kitchen  Everybody who watches reality shows, especially reality competition shows, does it: you wonder how well you would fare if put in the same situation. I really don't have the talent to be on a Project Runway-type show, or the ability to eat gross crap that you need to make it on Survivor, but I think I could hang on The Amazing Race for a while. I don't think I'd win or anything, because I would definitely be...

Dick Smothers wants to dance, but no one will let him
Filed under: TV Royalty, Celebrities, Dancing With The Stars  All Dick Smothers wants to do is dance, dance, dance*, but Dancing with the Stars doesn't want him.
The one half of the Smothers Brothers tells TV critic Terry Morrow that he has applied to be on the hit ABC dance reality show three times, but they keep on turning him down. Smothers says that he loves the show and he could keep up with all of the dancing that has to be done (he's 71), but the show won't even give him a chance. As Morrow says, Smothers is probably too unknown to be a big draw for the...
