Newsgasm: Dirty Dancing - 
by B-Side

- John O'Hurley and Kelly Monaco will be having a grudge-match dance-off next month to finally set the record straight as to who truly deserves a chintzy trophy. I really wish I could mock this, but I know I'll be tuning in. Very sad. [AP]
- The new cast of America's Next Top Model has been revealed. With any luck, maybe they'll actually look like models this season. [UPN]
- The Guiding Light returned to production today after a mercury scare brought the soap to a halt. Apparently it was CBS's really passive-aggressive way of trying to cancel the show. [AP]
- CBS News has been seeking input from interns to revamp its format. I'm pretty sure this is how we wound up with Current TV. [AP]
- And since we can never get enough CBS, the network won last night in the ratings, thanks to Big Brother, CSI, and Without a Trace. [Hollywood Reporter]
- Reggie Miller will be joining Charles Barkley on TNT as a basketball analyst. I'm sure the network chose him because he's a future Hall-of-Famer, but honestly, I think they just wanted to see a really fat man and a really skinny man sit next to each other. Who doesn't? [Mediaweek]

OMG, they are replacing Janice Dickinson with Twiggy. I love it. I knew Janice was gone, but I didn't know it was going to be Twiggy! Did you guys know this already? Although, she is probably going to be super boring and nice. At least she was a real model!!

If TVGasm voters could help get Kaysar 82% of the vote, we should be able to help Peterman beat that Playboy tramp. Vote O'Hurley!
