Dance with me
This year’s ‘Dancing’ has a cast that several reviewers are cringing at – there is a lot of room for posturing and attitude, much more than in seasons past. The cast is shaping up to be quite eclectic, with every participants from every walk of life from Macintosh magnate Steve Wozniak to a Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell taking center stage to waltz and cha-cha their way to fame or failure.
It’s also couple’s year, as two pair-ups are featured: going head to head are two dancers – Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff – who are also engaged. Singer Chuck Wicks is the boyfriend of two times Dancing With the Stars champ Julianne Hough. A third pair, singer Jewel and hubby / rodeo star Ty Murray were both to participate as a team, but Jewel had to withdraw due to an injury to both legs.
The divas will steal the spotlight, however; if not for their dancing skills, then surely for their reputation for making things interesting. Lil Kim has her own rep for craziness, and as for Steve-O -well, he’s one of the stars from ‘Jackass’ – what do you expect? These two will bear watching.
Ashton Kutcher spilled the beans on Twitter on Superbowl Sunday, letting the cat out of the bag that NFL star Lawrence Taylor would be on ‘Stars’ this season. Various singers, actors and comedians round out the dance card. Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson at 17 also headlines as the show’s youngest dancer yet.
A far cry from the show’s early lineups as far as cast is concerned, but we can expect turnout for the show to be fairly impressive – ‘Dancing’ has become one of the most popular reality shows on television.
