Boring-but the funniest one should be Tom DeLay

 

[Sicy]

Hmm yawn.

 

[Lila64]

Tom Delay?

 

[cruzila]

none of them really thrill me either, but i'm a sucker for a dance show, so i'll be watching

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

[BonosLil'Pal94]

Well it's better than some of the seasons.....at least I can make fun of Aaron Carter!

Tom DeLay’s New Cause: Conservative Takeover Of ‘Dancing With The Stars’

When Tom DeLay announced his resignation from Congress in June 2006, he said he wanted to “pursue new opportunities to engage in the important cultural and political battles of our day from an arena outside of the U.S. House of Representatives.”

This morning, DeLay officially took up the important cultural/political battle of ABC’s reality show “Dancing with the Stars.” DeLay sent a mass e-mail to his supporters urging them to “help a good friend of mine, country music singer and GOP supporter Sara Evans,” who will be competing in this season’s show.

Sara Evans has been a strong supporter of the Republican Party and represents good American values in the media. From singing at the 2004 Republican Convention to appearing with candidates in the last several election cycles, we have always been able to count on Sara for her support of the things we all believe in. … One of her opponents on the show is ultra liberal talk show host Jerry Springer. We need to send a message to Hollywood and the media that smut has no place on television by supporting good people like Sara Evans.

Evans also sang at the 2004 Presidential Dinner, where Bush said, “I love the voice of Sara Evans.” She appears on a conservative website as “Babe of the Week” in a picture of her with Bush.

This is from people.com, about the pairings. They must really want Cheryl to lose. I wonder how they decide the pairings.

They’re ready to rumba!

The complete Dancing with the Stars lineup of professional dancer-celebrity pairs was announced Monday on Good Morning America. The list features new pro dancer Anna Demidova, who won last season’s professional dance contest, as well as the return of fan favorite Louis Van Amstel. Many of the pairings were leaked on celebrity Twitter posts and Facebook pages following the announcement of season 9’s stars.

Nobody was more surprised to find out his partner than Ashley Hamilton. The 34-year-old actor, comedian and singer-songwriter will follow in his father George Hamilton’s footsteps. He’s paired with Edyta Sliwinska, who taught his dad to dance on the show’s second season.

“My partner is a bigger celebrity than I am,” Ashley said.

Rehearsals are now underway for all 16 couples, who will hit the ballroom on Sept. 21 for Dancing’s season 9 premiere on ABC.

'Dancing With the Stars' Couple Split! -- Popeater

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I never thought they would actually get married, just a sense I had. Also because Max is already way too in love with himself

 

[Carek1230]

I read that yesterday about Max and Karina. I'm just not interested in this season at all. None of the contestants (celebs) really interest me or make me want to watch. Maybe the whole show concept is getting boring for me who knows. I'll tune in tho.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

I never thought they would actually get married, just a sense I had. Also because Max is already way too in love with himself

I would have to agree...but add...that the same goes for Karina as well
she annoys the hell out of me

 

[Sicy]

Dang it, I guess this starts tonight. At the same time House starts.

 

[Carek1230]

Yep tonite it is. With trepidation I will watch, because I have nothing else to do.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Dang it, I guess this starts tonight. At the same time House starts.

House House House House

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

that was painful to watch

 

[Doozer61]

yeah I'm bored already. and my girl Cheryl will not be in the competition that long this time. i give her 3 weeks tops.

 

[Sicy]

Wat did I miss. I was watching House.

 

[RedRocksU2]

You need a DVR.

 

[Sicy]

I have one lol. But I'm lazy and I probably wont watch it till who knows when.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

you missed a painful Ashley Hamilton....a painful Tom Delay....a painful snowboard dude and a super painful Michael Irvin

 

[Sicy]

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

I predict super model Kathy Ireland will not be very good and the other model girl...and I am really afraid of Macy Gray.....

 

[Pop Artist]

you missed a painful Ashley Hamilton....a painful Tom Delay....a painful snowboard dude and a super painful Michael Irvin

Aw, I thought the little snowboard dude was adorable... Aaron Carter may have danced well, but man, is he lookin' scary...

Well tonight had some surprises!

Spoiler

Macy did totally as expected though.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

Spoiler

the girls did much better than the men last night...that is for sure...and I was wrong about the other model chick...somebody Kruppa? anyway....she did alright I really thought Kelly Osbourne did just great!

 

[Pop Artist]

Spoiler

Kelly was fabulous! Looks like she's really serious about doing well too. Bit worried about her mom though, she didn't seem that well.

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

Spoiler

I noticed that too....has she had a relapse? Ozzy seemed quite coherent tonight though!

 

[tiny dancer]

Kelly was did a fantasic job of dancing. She is my favorite of the woman's dancers!
