charliesmumOkay, I do not watch Dancing with the Stars" other than the few minutes that accidently got recorded before Castle starts, but I can't help but comment on this new line up.
First of all Florence Henderson? I can get behind that. Who wouldn't love to see Mrs Brady tripping the light fantastic?
And Jennifer Grey? It's a shame she's reduced to this, but whatever. And she's fifty? I feel old now.
But in what universe can Bristol Palin be considered a 'star'? I mean, she goes around telling kids not to have sex which, sure, admirable, but telling people that has never worked in the history of ever. And the only reason people listen to her is because of who her mother is. *shudders*
So 'star' no longer means 'someone who's accomplished something in his or her field' but rather 'someone who's name the average American might actually recognize because it's been in the tabloids.'
