CBS’ awesomely-sniping press release: The network, upset about ABC’s new “Big Brother”-like show “Glass House,” put together this sniping press release suggesting they are creating a show called “Dancing on the Stars.” This is ballsy in the best way, guys. (ht Matt)
In full disclosure, I did win a polka dancing competition when I was in the tenth grade at my alma mater, Anoka High School in Anoka, Minn. But, despite my tenth grade polka success and my lifelong love of ballroom dancing, the recent rumors are false. I will not be joining ‘Dancing with the Stars.’Michele Bachmann • Revealing that, like Herman Cain before her, she’s passing on “Dancing With the Stars”. Odds they get Tim Pawlenty: Even. (ht imwithkanye, who is totally owning the political DWTS beat)
Can Herman dance? That was the question the producers of “Dancing With The Stars” were fixing to answer, but Cain has reportedly turned the offer down, with his executive assistant, Lisa Reichert, explaining thusly: “He can’t dance in an eight-count. He can only dance in a nine-count.” As if we didn’t know already – few know how to hammer a theme home like Cain and his people. (h/t imwithkanye, Photo by John Trainor) source
Nancy’s grace slipped tonight. Poor taste, sorry. On tonight’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” Nancy Grace had a slight wardrobe malfunction. Faster than you can say “Casey Anthony trial,” producers had to cut to a “static shot of the audience” to prevent potential FCC freakouts. After the performance, Judge Bruno Tonioli quipped: “It was a bit top-heavy at times, my darling. And I got an eyeful! I couldn’t miss that. But it really is great to see you taking over the dance floor and performing.” Sleep tight, America! source
Chaz Bono should not be applauded for asserting she is a man (and goes about trying to look like one) any more than a woman who believes she will be happier without arms, has them removed and then continues to assert that she was right all along—her self-concept was that of a double amputee. Now, all is well.Member of the “Fox News Medical A-Team,” Dr. Keith Ablow • In an unbelievably insensitive piece about Chaz Bono, the transgendered man who is about to become one of the latest contestants on “Dancing With the Stars.” Ablow, who goes on and on about how he disagrees with Bono’s choice, admits he will take heat for the article. “I already have for making similar statements in the past,” he notes. “So be it. I would rather be the one shouting ‘The Emperor has no clothes!’ than one of the happy-go-lucky villagers applauding the tragic parade.” Look, Bono is taking a lot of heat from conservatives for his decision to do DWTS, some of it clearly unnecessary. Ablow is just throwing chum in the ocean to whet the sharks’ appetite. source (via • follow)
