So far this week, I’ve endured three power outages (making it a challenge to get this column written and up,) and now we’re getting the affects of a tropical storm: stinging icy rain and 75 mile per hour wind gusts.

Monday night revealed to the millions who watch Dancing With The Stars what a bunch jellyfish the judges actually are, as they awarded five of the remaining eleven couples 21 points. In doing so, they shortchanged some of the better celebrity dancers, and insured those with smaller fan bases would be sent packing sooner, not [...]

It’s that time again! The celebrities of Dancing with the Stars will once again demonstrate their mastery of the art…or as close to mastery and art as they can get with only four days of rehearsal. Happy? Scared? Sad? Help me out, here. After the heartbreaking loss last week of what’s-her-name, The Super Model, the [...]

As Tom Bergeron promised us, one couple has been sent packing from ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Was it the model we’ve never heard of or the model we simply care nothing about? Better not be me or I’ll cut someone.

It’s night two of an interminably long season premiere for ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, and it’s time to watch the guys as they take to the floor for the first time.
