DeLay DeDancing
We still have a week until the premiere of Dancing with The Stars but already a cast member has been injured. That’s right, disgraced House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has hurt his foot while rehearsing with dance partner Cheryl Burke.
From DeLay’s twitter: “Old age is catching up to me. May have a stress fracture in my foot. No worries, it’ll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor.”
And right DeLay was as later in the day he updated his tweet saying that he didn’t have a stress fracture and that he’d “live for another day.” Sorry Democrats.
We’re not sure how hurt DeLay is and how this will affect his performance but it looks like he’ll be around. The show premieres on September 21 so there is still plenty of time for someone to slip on a banana peel or have a piano dropped on them. Surely, this will be the first of many celebrity injuries.

Tom DeLay, dancing sensation
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been confirmed as one of the new cast members of Dancing with the Stars. DeLay was the House Majority Leader from 2003 to 2005. He resigned in 2006 for allegedly breaking campaign-finance laws. Throughout his career, the Republican was referred to as “The Hammer” because of his ability to…well, I guess hammer bills into laws? Whatever the reason, he was loathed by the opposition party.
I don’t get it. I guess DeLay is a celebrity (and alleged felon) but he doesn’t seem the dancing type. Also, he doesn’t even seem like the type to watch Dancing with the Stars. I guess ABC knows something I don’t. Maybe Tom can really cut a rug.
DeLay will be joined by Macy Gray, Kelly Osbourne, Donny Osmond and others. The show starts September 21.

who's laughing now?
Most know by now, FOX seriously underestimated the power of Paula Abdul. Now other networks are courting Abdul and her star-power with offers to install Abdul in their own top rated talent competitions.
Steve McPherson, ABC’s entertainment president has been quoted that he would love to have Abdul on “Dancing with the Stars” adding he had already made the call to Abdul.
“I would love to have her. I was a little stunned by the American Idol decision. We would love to have her on ‘Dancing’ either as a participant or a contestant, I definitely have reached out to her. I gave her a call first and foremost to say I was sorry about the situation and to say we’d love to see her on ABC.”
McPherson will have to make Abdul a very nice deal if he wants her on his show as Abdul already met with Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of “So You Think You Can Dance” this weekend.
No word yet on where Abdul will go post Idol, however one thing is for sure, American Idol brass made a serious mistake letting her walk away over something silly like a few million dollars.

Over the holiday weekend, ‘Sex and the City’ movie hunk Gilles Marini attended the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Indianapolis 500 after party, along with a few other stars. Carlos Diaz hosted the party and Dancing with the Stars regular Derek Hough performed with his band, ‘Ballas Hough Band’.
Inside sources say that Sex and the City hunk Gilles Marini ‘is the Playboy that he’s all cracked up to be’. Our source told us, “Gilles was also dancing with all kinds of women at the party last night. My friend said he wanted ‘her to go with him’ meaning leave the party and maybe go to a room? She told him she was married and he goes ‘well so am I’.”
As you can see in this photo below, he’s dancing with a random woman at this party. He’s the ladies man! You have a chance too!
