Maybe not such a bad thing for Cheryl. Delay will definitely be the most controversial dancer which will give Cheryl lots of exposure. The liberal minded voters who follow politics will vote him out and Cheryl will get paid for a short season with extra days off.

I thought I'd heard/read that Delay has been ballroom dancing about all his life. Not professional, of course. I'm looking forward to him doing a good job and surprising all the doubters. I know nothing about his personal problems and I don't need to.

Here is a link and more of an article. LINK 'Dancing With the Stars' Couple Split! Posted Tuesday 08 September 03:28 PM By: PopEater Staff 38 Comments -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRINT | E-MAIL More -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Dancing With the Stars' couple Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have officially split, Smirnoff's rep told PEOPLE. No reason was given for the split, but it looks like their busy schedules finally caught up with them. Smirnoff and Chmerkovskiy met on 'Dancing With the Stars' and started dating in October of last year. Then, just a few months later on New Year Eve, he popped the question. They planned on getting married in June 2010. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chmerkovskiy went on Twitter to apparently address the break-up. "What was meant to be a 'life long book', turned into a 'chapter'.......and now that 'chapter' is finished...... Se la vie," he wrote. When PopEater spoke with Smirnoff in May, she seemed a little overwhelmed with the impeding wedding plans. "It all came really, really quick. I was like, 'Whoa! This is really a lot to take on,'" she said. "[At first], we couldn't find the common ground on the wedding negotiations... A woman is suppose to plan the wedding, but it got to the point where it was just too much, especially with me working on 'Dancing With The Stars.' I kept saying, 'Oh, we'll do that later.' ... [Maksim] joked that he was going to have to plan it all, tell me the wedding date and just have me show up with my hair and make-up ready," she added.

My take is they are two extremely strong personalities and never the twain shall meet. Well, almost never.

From ETONLINE: As the countdown continues toward the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars," one of the first celeb contestants to be injured this season has come forward. Read on to learn who it is... Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay revealed via Twitter what kind of injury he sustained while rehearsing. DeLay tweeted Tuesday: "No stress fracture! It is a pre-stress fracture. I live for another day." The politician, who is partnered up with Cheryl Burke for the upcoming season of "DWTS," also tweeted: "Old age is catching up to me…No worries, it'll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor."

Ireland cha-chas from board room to dance floor . – Elizabeth Taylor watches "Dancing With the Stars." And if her longtime friend and business partner Kathy Ireland survives long enough into the show's new season, Taylor's presence — and presents — will be apparent. "For some of the nights, we have to come with our own clothes, and that is not something I am used to doing in my life," explained Ireland, speaking during a break in rehearsals for the series, which returns to ABC Monday. "And I was so blown away," Ireland continued. "The other day I came home and there was a big package at my door. And I opened it up, and it is this gorgeous Valentino gown from my dear friend, Elizabeth Taylor, who said, 'I know you are so busy trying to learn how to dance and I know how stressful that is for you.' She took the liberty of putting together a complete outfit for me with the accessories." The 46-year-old former swimsuit model-turned-brand-mogul says the dress is lavender, and "stunning." And as for the 77-year-old Taylor? "She is doing excellent," Ireland said. "She is working away, busy as ever. And she is my inspiration." Just as Taylor found a millions-generating second career by lending her name to perfume lines and designing jewelry, Ireland graduated from modeling and acting and into very big business. Starting with Kmart socks in 1993, Ireland's company now brings in $1.5 billion a year in 20 countries. Knowing that, the married mother of three's days as a "Sports Illustrated" supermodel and "Loaded Weapon 1" actress seem like another lifetime ago. "I was never that super and I was certainly never an actress, and I have the movies to prove it," Ireland said, smiling. "Well, I knew she was a hottie," joked Ireland's dance-pro partner Tony Dovolani, who sat beside Ireland for the interview. "At the beginning she was funny," he recalled. "She came in telling me — go ahead list them: 'Tone deaf, no balance, never walked in heels, two knee surgeries and a foot surgery,' correct? And you get dizzy when you spin, yeah? These are the things she told me at the beginning." Proceeds from Ireland's "Dancing" gig will go charity, with potential hundreds of thousands of dollars to be raised for, among others, the Elizabeth Taylor HIV/ AIDS Foundation. Just days before the premiere, Ireland didn't even break a sweat as she and Dovolani ran through a complex Salsa. Noted Dovolani, "Today I used a sentence that was kind of interesting — I said, 'You are no longer my student. You are my dance partner at this point. So it is time for us to go out there and fun with each other. So, we are going to carry each other.' She is going to make me look good, too." Not if the competition has its way. Among the other ninth-season stars: politician Tom DeLay, reality-show daughter Kelly Osbourne, and singer Donny Osmond. "I think Donny does come with a huge following," commented Dovolani. "Just his family," quipped Ireland, adding "I think we will have to distract his family — maybe with ... We will come up with something to keep them busy that night so they are not voting." ___ On the Net: http://abc.go.com

What a great article Annie! It sounds like Tony will have a good partner (again) this year and I will be pulling for them. I am torn between Tony and Donny LOL! I can't wait to see that dress and accessories that Liz sent to her. I had no clue they were business partners and friends.

To me, Macy Gray already does not look comfortable with it all. I hope for Jonathan's sake I'm wrong.

Chuck and Anna got 6,5,5. Low -- but he didn't look tooooo bad. Anna is fitting right in with the "ol' pros".

I, too, thought Aaron did pretty well. Would have liked to see a bit more "hip" action for a Cha Cha, but overall.....well done! Chuck, on the other hand........ummm...not so good. LOL!! But, it sure sounds like he has a lot of fans in the audiance.

I didn't think Chuck was that good. He needs alot of work. However, that kung fu guy did a really great job (he's dancing with Lacey).

Agree Texas. And I loved the theme and costumes for Mark and Lacey. Looks like Lacey may have lost a little weight since last season.

Whoa......pretty harsh Bruno! But, that was one of those dances where the pro did all the dancing and the "star" just sort of walked around. Not good at all.

He is that. And tall! He's so tall it almost looks awkward for him to try and dance with Edyta.

Geez, I always thought Donny O. looked great for his (my age). Now he's got the non-moving, puffy, over botoxed, Bruce Jenner look. How disappointing.
