Any Dancing with the Stars fans? This season looks to be super-great.
I just caught the tail-end of a story on E! tonight. They said a star's marriage was in trouble because of the spouses' participation last season to the show. I think they said something about the star spending too much time dancing and rehearsing and it kept him or her away from the kids too much. Did anybody hear who they were talking about or any more facts? I'm dying to know.
 
^no but I was really surprised by some of the new participants!
Like Tucker Carlson{?}! LOL! doesn't seem like the type!

Thanks for the article. What a variety of contestants. I am glad to see that Ashly Delgrosso is back after last season's disappointment with Master P.
 
Watching Veronica Mars and i love Harry Hamlin on that show as evil Aaron Eckols so can't wait to see him dance.

I used to have a crush on Joey Lawrence and can't wait to see how he's grown up since his "Blossom" days.

Jerry Springer?! This i have to see.
 
It was such a great opening show last night! Too bad somebody has to go after just one dance. I think it will be Sara Evans. Even though Mario Lopez is probably about my half my age, he sure got my attention with his sultry style!!LOL!
 
Mario Lopez was smoking last night ,that guy had me :sweatdrop: .
Emmitt Smith had a good first showing :smile: .
Jerry Springer is a joke, :wtf: were they thinking :sad: .

I enjoy watching the show but I feel the ultimate winner should be left up to the professional judges.When you let the general public cast votes it turns into nothing more than a popularity contest :whistle: .

I haven't heard anything about that, but I would not be surprised if this was more common... after all, you're spending hours and hours a day in close contact with someone else (who is attractive), wearing sexy clothes! The spouses should visit the practice studios if they are suspicious of anything though!!
