Thanks for the thread, Rslover. Wow, I don't recognize any of the pros names except McLaughlin. I'm going to have to check out the others to see if I recognize them. Most of the 'stars' are not that young. Hope they don't hurt themselves.

I sure hope this means Sean Young turned her life around. Her reputation is that there's no way she could stay sober long enough to learn how to skate.

Naja, the main reason I'll tune is to see Sean Young. She used to be so unstable. She's so talented, I really hope she's sorted herself out.

Sean Young?! You only have to watch her on Y&R these days to see how wooden she's become. I cannot see her ice skating.

I had no idea she joined Y&R, Mamie. I had to look on youtube to see if they had any of her scenes, and I about laughed myself out of my chair when this was the very first video I happened to click on....LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6QD46DYRlQ She's still really pretty.

It's sad because I watched an older movie of hers the other day and she was really good. The alcohol in her life has changed her. I remember her on that John Rich reality show and she had such a problem. Everyone else was so worried about her.

Maybe I have to Google the rest of these people. I don't know any of them but the Motley Crue guy. Dang I saw him when I was 15!

Vince Neil was a competitive skater until the age of 13. I wonder if he can still wibble-wobble on the skates? Bethenny for the win!! Whoot!

Mamie, the most vivid memory I have of Sean Young is when she practically stalkled Tim Burton, the director of Catwoman, she even went onto a talk show, I think it was Jay Leno, in costume and used the airtime to publicly humiliate herself pleading for the role. Oy! James Woods also accused her of stalking him.

Isn't the "rumor" that she glued Mr. Woods' private parts to his leg while he was sleeping when she found out he cheated on her? Allegedly.

Zgoodgirl- I also saw Vince Neil and Motley Crue when I was 15 - and 5th row! I had a guitar pick they threw out into the audience. I had no idea he knew how to skate!

Sean Young was in a movie with Kevin Costner in '87 -- No Way Out. It's a very good movie. If you don't know it, rent it.

That was this show, Tex. It has been a couple of years since the first Skating with the Stars.

It was called Skating with Celebrities (found it yesterday when trying to find the pros) and had Bruce Jenner, Todd Bridges, Debbie Gibson, Dave Coulier, Kristy Swanson and Jillian Barberie. Nancy Kerrigan was one of the pros. According to the wiki, people didn't like that the celebs ranged in experience from almost non-skaters to someone (Jillian) who was a competitive figure skater when she was younger. Hope it doesn't work like that on this series.

So is it the same show/network or just same concept?

Fox, 2006. It sounds like it was the same concept to me, but I didn't see it.

Lexie, I didn't know about the movie until some years after it's release. Not aware of what was going on with Sean back then (or more recently). It was Kristy Swanson and Lloyd Eisler who had affair during Skating With the Celebrities. He was married at the time. Divorced his wife while she was pregnant. Kristy and Lloyd are now married.
