More than a few people are irked by Bristol Palin‘s staying power on “Dancing with the Stars.” And one man in Wisconsin just couldn’t take it anymore. Steven Cowan, 66, was kicking back on Monday and having a few drinks while watching the show. But after this performance by Bristol, he jumped up and yelled “the f**king politics!” Then he went upstairs, got a shotgun, loaded it—and fired a round into his television set. Keep reading »

Man Shoots TV After Watching Bristol On “Dancing With The Stars”
More than a few people are irked by Bristol Palin‘s staying power on “Dancing with the Stars.” And one man in Wisconsin just couldn’t take it anymore. Steven Cowan, 66, was kicking back on Monday and having a few drinks while watching the show.

Ellen Says Same-Sex Dancing No Big Deal
“I think it’s weird. It’s not a romantic thing. It’s an art form and in dancing it doesn’t matter. We are just so used to seeing a man and woman dancing together.”
—Ellen DeGeneres on the rumors that wife Portia de Rossi might be part of the first same-sex dance couple on “Dancing With the Stars,” before adding that Portia hasn’t decided whether she’ll be on the show yet. Fingers crossed that she does! [Perez Hilton] Keep reading »
Portia De Rossi Might Be Part Of A “Dancing With The Stars” Same-Sex Dance Couple
If you’ve been missing a weekly dose of Portia de Rossi — and her harrowing new memoir, Unbearable Lightness, isn’t enough — then it might just be your lucky day. It seems openly gay Portia is at the top of the list of stars that producers of “Dancing With the Stars” are hoping to get for a new same-sex dancing couple. Insane multitasker Ryan Seacrest leaked the news to Portia on his radio show earlier this week, surprising her. She said she wouldn’t rule it out. “I’m not gonna pass, let me think about it,” she said. “I used to be a ballet dancer. It’s not completely a pass. You never know.” If she does choose to appear on “DWTS,” she’ll be following openly gay Israeli sportscaster Gili Shem Tov, who danced in a same-sex match on the Israeli version of the show. Would you like to see Portia on “Dancing With the Stars”? [Fox News] Keep reading »
Israel’s “Dancing With The Stars” Does Girl On Girl
Israel’s “Dancing With the Stars” has gotten a lot of press for their decision to feature a same-sex dance pair this season. Gili Shem-Tov is an openly gay sportscaster and Dorit Milman is a heterosexual professional dancer. But they make beautiful music together. “When we go on primetime TV as a couple, we’re showing everyone can love everyone. It’s about respecting the way of life of other people, even if it’s not your way of life,” Dorit said after their first live dance together. Love it. [The Daily What] Keep reading »
Oopsie! Bristol Palin Forgot To Vote
“I did not send in my absentee ballots to Alaska. I’m going to be in trouble. Sorry, mom!”
– Bristol Palin on neglecting her civic duty. “Dancing With the Stars” is waaay more important to the future of our country. I never cease to be amazed at the values that Mama Grizz imbued her with. Sarah Palin must be kvelling. [NY Daily News] Keep reading »
Fall TV Guide: “Skating With The Stars” One-Ups “DWTS”
Ice skating has never been my favorite activity. See: me clinging to the side wall for dear life during every ice skating birthday party I went to as a kid. But ABC’s newest show, “Skating with the Stars,” is seriously upping the ante on “Dancing with the Stars” by taking C-listers and having them strap on skates, to not only learn how to dance on ice, but also to do lifts, spins, jumps, and other Olympic-caliber moves. We are expecting some hard spills, nasty bruises, and probably a few broken bones.
Last night, ABC announced the cast for this new series. Find out who they are, after the jump! Keep reading »
Bristol Palin Dances In A Monkey Suit
Last night’s “Dancing with the Stars” brought a very special surprise. Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas dancing in monkey suits while doing the jive to the theme song from my favorite old TV show, “The Monkees.” See the girl monkey who can’t quite keep up? Yeah, that’s Bristol. I wonder if Sarah Palin watched the performance and felt like she was back in Alaska, watching grizzly bears fight? [Newser] Keep reading »
Bristol Palin And The Situation Get Sexy On “Dancing With The Stars”
So, sue us, we are watching this week’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars” a little late. But we just had to bring you this clip of Bristol Palin getting sexy while rumba-ing with Mark Ballas to “Umbrella.” Her dancing was totally stiff, but that hip shimmy move wasn’t bad. And the faux making out was kind of hot. Do we think Sarah Palin, who was in the audience, liked Bristol’s warp-speed shirt pull-off maneuver? We bet she’ll be using that on Todd when she gets home.
The Situation seemed a touch more comfortable getting his sexy on. Or, err, standing in place while his partner danced around him. Keep reading »
“Dancing With The Stars” Courted Todd Before They Asked Bristol
“They wanted Todd to be on the show. I think that would have been cool to see, too. But here Bristol is… doing something all new … [If I were on the show], they would have to let me dribble back and forth and maybe pivot and do a jump shot or something as part of the routine. In fact, when Bristol said, ‘I don’t know how to dance,’ I told her, just think of it as learning some basketball plays.”
—Sarah Palin lets it slip that “Dancing with the Stars” originally wanted Todd Palin for the show before they set their sights on Bristol. And she also shares the dancing advice she gave her daughter. I guess mommy doesn’t know best. [NY Daily News] Keep reading »
Sarah Palin Gets Booed On “Dancing With The Stars”
Last night, Sarah Palin dropped by to watch the live filming of “Dancing with the Stars,” sitting in the front row. But apparently, several members of the audience could not contain their lack of excitement and booed her as she took her seat. The boos could be heard in the telecast—they happened before Sarah appeared onscreen and while Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough were doing their post-dance interview. The two thought the boos were for them and looked confused since their quickstep was pretty great. A minute later, Sarah appeared to the folks at home for this interview, which reveals that she’s rooting for “Bristol the Pistol.” Sarah also seems to have coined a new word: Zawesome. Totally taking that one. Keep reading »
