Dancing with the Stars...

[Grace]

I read about it yesterday - at several reputable online news sources.
Apparently Bristol was also involved - shortly thereafter she (Bristol) made a very weak apology.

As I said previously, if parents spent more time quality time with their kids as they are growing up, there would be less of this trash.

Wow, I don't know why I just did this, but I just read the facebook thread. My question is...why are these people friends on facebook if they can't say a nice thing to each other? It's called UnFriend them!!! I'd never have anyone on my facebook that is calling me such names or talking the way these kids do. But I must remember.....they are kids.

I know who won, but I won't say in case anyone doesn't know.

FYI - Bristol's mother wasn't there for the finals. She was in Phoenix - signing books.

I'm sorry, but I think the books could have waited one more day. And I think those fans in Phoenix would have understood.

I know who won, but I won't say in case anyone doesn't know.

Thank you! I made sure I didn't come look just in case anyone forgot. I was too busy cleaning the house like a mad woman anyway

[Taz_Zoee]

I couldn't stay up until 11 to watch it. I recorded it, but I went online to see who won. So I know who won and will watch the finale show sometime this weekend.

KG is the biggest piece of doo doo on the planet.

LOL, there was nothing on TV last night and I watched her go complainin....

Great stuff.

This is really just a joke - right

They snagged Tom DeLay and Tucker Carlson, but the producers of "Dancing with the Stars" won't get one politico: the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Sharpton said he’s been asked on several occasions to join the reality show but recently told TMZ: “I just turned them down again.”

"You have to have your priorities," said Sharpton. "It's different taking one night [to do] ‘Saturday Night Live’ and taking weeks to do 'Dancing with the Stars.'"

Besides, said Sharpton, he'd steal the show.

"I got moves! I'd blow them out! There'd be no chance for anybody to touch me. But I just don't have the time."

new cast...
Chelsea Kane, actress
Chris Jericho, wrestler and singer
Hines Ward, football player
Kendra Wilkinson, reality TV personality
Kirstie Alley, actress
Mike Catherwood, radio personality
Petra Nemcova, model
Ralph Macchio, actor
Romeo, actor and recording artist
Sugar Ray Leonard, boxer and speaker
Wendy Williams, talk show host

I only saw a bit of it last week (Sugar Ray's foxtrot) and didn't see it this week at all. I wonder who will win?

[finn's mom]

My favorites are Hines Ward, Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley. I think the right cast member went home last week. I think it's way to early to say who'll win, but Hines Ward has been the most consistently good so far. My heart is with Ralph Macchio, since I can't remember NOT having a crush on him, though his jive was a little too crazy. Hines was fabulous both nights. He's one of my favorite football players, and he is charming and lovely, and he and Kim (Kym?) are great together! I'd have to say, though, that Kirstie Alley's first dance (I think it was a cha-cha) has been my favorite routine so far.

I haven't watched it at all so far this season. I personally think it's a lousy lineup, so I guess that's why I lost interest. IMO - last year was the best ever.

[Grace]

I love Hines Ward - he has such a great smile. Reminds me of Emmitt Smith. I also like Chris Jericho and Ralph Macchio. I think the male contestants are better than the female this time around.

[finn's mom]

I still have the same three favorites, although Hines Ward is edging Ralph Macchio out of the top spot for me. I LOVE Ralph Macchio, but Hines Ward is magnificent on the dance floor, and that samba last night was fantastic. I couldn't believe it when Maks fell! He and Kirstie Alley are incredible together, I LOVE their chemistry. I don't think I've ever seen Maks laugh as much as he does with Kirstie. Their dance was gorgeous, once they got going.

Did anyone hear anything about one of the pros retiring? I haven't watched the results show all the way through, but I thought I heard them mention on the show that one of the pros was retiring...

[Taz_Zoee]

I like Hines and Ralph a lot. Only I can't stand Karina! But she should be happy she finally got a good partner. She hasn't had a good one since Mario Lopez.

I also couldn't believe Maks fell. I haven't watched the results show yet either, although I know who left. Maybe Maks is the one retiring.... Let me google and see if I can find out.
Couldn't find anything on it.

[pomtzu]

I believe that they were talking about the possible retirement of Hines from pro football.
