Danny's "claim to fame" is that he came in third on last season's American Idol.

I just have a problem seeing Vera Wang doing the jive! She is always so elegant...this will be fun.

I always liked Melissa and am happy for her. "The Bachelor" made her a household name, "Dancing with the Stars" made her a bonafide celebrity, now Melissa Rycroft is taking on "Good Morning America." In a new interview she talks about her GMA co-workers, dishes on "Dancing" and even comments about Jon & Kate -- see the video here! "It's amazing," she says. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be part of 'Good Morning America.' It's an opportunity I'm grateful for and I hope I don't disappoint anybody." "My life has changed, literally, in almost every aspect," she says about her sudden rise to fame. "I love it, I enjoy it -- it's funny because I never dreamed about it, but I have no complaints. It's an opportunity of a lifetime."

Bruno was on Regis and Kelly - and Regis wanted to promote getting Kelly on DWTS - Kelly didnt object, Kelly and Bruno danced a bit of "samba" - she is perky!

Last time Regis told Kelly she should go on the show, she said she was happy with her life just like it is, so I figured she wouldn't want to be flying to Los Angeles all the time. Even though I love Kelly to death, I don't think she'd do that great on the show and I wouldn't want her to feel bad about it. As Bruno said, just because you can free dance, doesn't mean you can learn all the dances.

I think Kelly would actually do very well. She seems to learn choreography fairly quickly. She'd never have the time for it, though. She'd have to keep flying back and forth for weeks on end, and with all the time she spends attending her kids' functions I doubt she'd be able to make it work.

Well, she was a regular dancer on "Dance Party USA" on the USA network in the 80's. You can see some of her dance ability on there about 3:18 into this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdDaAEOpUgU

I agree with both of you and she might do great! However, in case she didn't, I don't want to see. I'd feel bad for her. I think she's a good freestyle dancer. While I'd love to see how she'd do in the ballroom, etc., it just wouldn't be worth it if her ego was hurt. Also, as you said, Curlyq, she is very involved in her children's activities, so it would be awfully hard to make the time.

Maxsim was on The View today promoting Superstars. DWTS will start Sept. 21. He said they're told who their partners are about 30 minutes before they meet them for the first time.

Len Goodman had Surgery for Prostate Cancer
quote:Dancing with the Stars judge Len Goodman had surgery for prostate cancer that was discovered during the spring, while he was on the eighth season of the U.S. show. After having a cancerous tumor removed, Len said, “I’ve had the surgery now. Everything’s gorgeously good. I’ll be back in September for sure,” he told the Daily Mail, referring to the British version of the show, Strictly Come Dancing. He’ll presumably be back for the ninth season of Dancing, too “I could have said ‘sorry’ and not done the show, but the doctors felt I wasn’t riddled with it and it wasn’t so far advanced that it was a life-or-death scenario. It takes a few weeks to get everything set up for the operation anyway, so I went ahead and did the show. I had the surgery done as soon as I got back from America,” Len said. He told the paper that he didn’t tell his bosses. “No one at the BBC knows. I didn’t want to tell everyone — it’s not necessary to blabber it out to everyone. People generally think 'bloody hell'.With all the hoo-ha about Strictly [Come Dancing] coming up, I thought, ‘Just my luck, they won’t want that old fart on it, the cancer-riddled, bed-ridden old so-and-“so.”

I know he's always a bit grouchy, but he did seem more grouchy than normal last season, and that having over you would make anyone grouchy. I hope they got it all and he's good now.

I like all the judges too, although Bruno gets a little "over the top" sometimes. I love Carrie Ann's laugh / giggle. Don't hear that too often on DWTS -- more when she's doing a talk show interview.
