Let's start with the least known first: Damian Whitewood. He has the distinction of not only being the newest dancer on the cast but also being the one who was chosen to squire Pamela Anderson around the dance floor. (no pressure there!) In my humble opinion, I suspect this Damian guy is one heck of

If you're new to the show, hang in there...the names of the pros will become more familiar to you and add to your enjoyment of the show. If you're a veteran, longtime fan....I think you'll find these match-ups interesting.
Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussy Cat Dolls will dance with season seven champ Derek Hough...this is his seventh season. This could be one HOT pair!
Shannen Doherty will be dancing with two time champ Mark Ballas who returns for

Talk about the battle of the sex-kittens and big egos! This could be quite the cat fight!
First we have Pamela Anderson, who needs no introduction. She can do sexy but can she do sophisticated? Probably...the woman actually CAN act...and she expects all eyes to be on her. (Okay...they WILL be, but so?)
Next we have Kate Gosselin...who is famous for ...uh...having kids or something. ABC is making a big deal out of the fact that she will be training in her home t

It's got to be stressful to be one of the professional dancers on DWTS right about now. They were supposed to learn LAST week if they would be on this season's show...but no dice. Then they were supposed to be told today...but as of this writing, many of them haven't gotten the word. There are some things we DO know however:
Lacey Schwimmer will NOT be back for season ten. She tweeted "Hey Twitterbugs! I will not be doing DWTS this season. But be sure to tune in!" A short time l

By now, many of you are aware that Pamela Anderson and her boobs are said to be going to compete on Dancing with the Stars this season. It's all over the media, so it MUST be true, right? Well, I have been fooled before, but this rumor looks to be better than 50/50 so I'll help to spread it. Sure...I know there have been other buxom dancers on DWTS, but none of them have been quite so EXAGGERATED as Pamela Anderson. I mean...what about the center of gravity issue? Remember how He

People magazine says that
Samantha Harris will NOT be returning to DWTS when the new season starts on March 22nd. She says that she needs to focus on her duties at "The Insider", which have expanded over the past few seasons. I wish I could say that I was sad about this...but I'm NOT!!! The woman is the one person on my favorite show that continually gets on my nerves. Her vapid and sometimes downright excruciating interviewing style will not be missed by this fan. What do YOU think about…

According to TVGuide.com, the tenth season of DWTS begins on Monday, March 22nd at 8 p.m. ABC obviously just released the date because I e-mailed them asking about it last week last week. (Uh-huh...sure...that's it...)
ABC entertainment president, Steve McPherson was the one who let the cat out of the bag. He told TVGuide that he likes having two cycles of the show every year but he thought that last season had too many couples. According to my unofficial poll and what people told me directly,…

Seeing as ABC isn't going to announce the casting for probably another month yet, let's create our OWN casting lists! Pick five people from the world of sports, television, music or whatever else strikes your fancy. (It's harder then you think to pick five that are somewhat diverse in age and backgrounds...and remember, these have to be people that would most likely be available...)
Only rules here? No criticizing each other's choices...this is just for fun and to see some names we probably hav…

Still no word on the exact date that DWTS will begin their spring season. I checked with the ABC website and they don't have any of their spring line-up posted yet. I have heard conflicting rumors stating the 8th or the 22nd of March. I emailed ABC Media Relations and they e-mailed me back saying,"Hi Cathy, we will be announcing the official premiere date for Dancing with the Stars tenth season soon." Well...that cleared that right up!
So, what's new in the DWTS world and in the lives of people…

I am starting to believe that it is entirely possible to tie DWTS into almost anything on this planet...and possibly beyond. But I'll talk about that in a minute. First, these news tidbits...
As many of you know,
Bruno and
Len are presently over in England working on "Strictly Come Dancing", which is the precursor to Dancing with the Stars. According to an interview that Len Goodman gave to the "Daily Mail", neither of the men are fans of the larger group of dancers at the beginni…

Melissa Rycroft has married her boyfriend, Tye Strickland and she tells In Touch Magazine, " "We have had such a journey within our relationship, that to finally look at him and see my husband, gives me the calmest, most content feeling in the world." Now, I am one of the people that thinks Melissa has far outlived her 15 minutes of fame and has no real talent, BUT.....I think it's sort of cool that she got married before that creepy bachelor guy Jason (whoever) did....!
Interesting comm…

Just kidding! You could live without ALL of it...but would you really want to? Even though the show is quiet for the next three plus months...the drama and the lives of our favorite dancers and judges goes on...so this blog will too!
I search the internet for info you might find interesting and I found tons of articles that totally contradict each other on whether
Julianne Hough is coming back to DWTS in 2010. I can't believe that she would...as she has two films set to be released next…

It goes without saying that an inspired dancer is able to dance without props, without lighting and even without music...and it can truly be a thing of beauty. Contestants on Dancing with the Stars? They need all the help they can get...and that's where Harold Wheeler comes in.
Mr. Wheeler has been the musical director for Dancing with the Stars since 2005, but he's had a long and illustrious career prior to this highly visible postion. Wheeler was born in the forties and started his musical ca…

I would love as many comments as possible on this issue...as I will forward this on to the appropriate people. You are all fans of the show and your viewpoints count!
Please tell why you liked, or didn't like, these specific elements of the show. If you have no feeling either way (or don't remember what they were), you need not give me any feedback on…

From Ms. Dagni:
"I've heard that some of this blog's readers have remembered that I said I would tell which star Carrie Ann has been most disappointed by. (I guess you really have to stay on your toes with these dedicated followers, don't you Cathy?)
I was very surprised by Carrie Ann's answer at the time, because I had asked who disappointed her the most over these last nine seasons. She said that stars like Mya really disappoint her. She felt that Mya was probably the best dancer they had ev…

We began this season with a huge herd of on-line competitors who picked their final three after they were able to watch the the first day of competition. In the final weeks of our contest, that group was whittled down to seven people who had a shot at this year's crown....Eleanor M, Laura S, Cathy B (that would be me!), Rachel W, Sue F, Carol Ann H and Shirley M. But only ONE of them chose Donny as the winner from the beginning.
*****CONGRATULATIONS CAROL ANN H...YOU CALLED IT FROM DAY ONE!

I tell you what...even though the odds makers in Las Vegas chose Donny to win even before the show started...I didn't believe it would happen. But Donny parlayed his popularity into winning votes and ALSO worked his butt off to earn that mirror ball trophy! But first...here's the low down on one of the best result shows I've ever seen...
Could somebody PLEASE give
Tom Bergeron the Emmy next year? The guy does an incredible job of smoothly ad libbing...whether Marie faints at his feet or…

This is the first time in all my years of watching DWTS that I have felt so conflicted about who should win. USUALLY, I have a very strong opinion about it (and won't hesitate to share it with you). This season? Not so much.... But here's how the last night of competition went for Season Nine of Dancing with the Stars...
Kelly and Louie came out and did a terrific Argentine Tango....her best dance of the night. Len said what so many of us feel, "You epitomize what this competition is about. You…

First of all, I want to thank you, Cathy, for giving me the wonderful opportunity to speak with Carrie Ann Inaba, and also a big "thank you!" to Carrie Ann, for taking the time to call me. What a treat! As you know, I won a ten minute conversation with her and that ten minute conversation turned into THIRTY minutes! She is so warm and personable - s…

Most of the news this week surrounds the elimination of
Joanna Krupa and the three celebs that are now left to fight it out for the mirror ball trophy. Remember a few weeks ago, when I told you that I felt that Joanna wasn't thrilled with
Mya...in particular because she had so much dance experience? It's been sort of a "read between the lines" thing, but now it's showing up in
Kelly's conversations too. Subtly...and not so subtly.
But before we get to that... a few tidbits…
