With Bob Barker set to get neutered retire in June, the latest buzz has the tannest man in Hollywood — onetime Dancing with the Stars hoofer George Hamilton — inheriting the Price Is Right hosting gig. According to TMZ.com, at least, CBS CEO Les Moonves and TPIR execs think the "wonderfully charming" Hamilton "could really make the show work." Yeah, because after a gagillion years on the air and atop the ratings, the show was a real mess.

Dancing with the StarsFinally! By the looks of all those montages and Tom's weird sit-down interview, the producers were very ready to say goodbye to Master P and Ashly. I seriously doubt they had all that prepared for any other couples. And with their departure, this will actually be a tough competition from now on. (Oh, and P? I think I'd rather watch you dance than have to endure that lame Scarface accent ever again.) Even with the new all-live format, the result show felt like so much filler. Regardless of what you think of Spice Girls 2.0, the Pussycat Dolls, wasn't it a little out of place to have them sing their hit without a ballroom dancer in sight? Also, why was that other guy singing about the cha-cha (was that the

Tom Bergeron was faster than the quickstep with his off-the-cuff humor tonight — calling the rowdy audience soccer fans, warning the judges not to tell Drew Lachey he wasn't "in sync," suggesting that Master P start a line of dancing shoes. I was also tickled by the way George Hamilton was orchestrating all these little soap-operatic scenes for the moments just before the commercial. I'm glad some people are taking the competitive edge off things.
Lisa and Louis: I always thought of the rhumba as Baby and Johnny's dance from Dirty Dancing. Even without the lift, this was much dirtier. But what, dear god, is up with choosing that

Dancing with the Stars' Stacy Keibler and Tony Dovolani
Last week's second-season premiere of ABC's Dancing with the Stars (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET; results show on Friday at 8 pm/ET) saw a record number of viewers tune in — and ESPN talking head Kenny Mayne ushered out. Who of this year's remaining hoofers has what it takes to waltz their way to the top? TV Guide offers a roundup.
Lisa Rinna & Louis van Amstel Ignoring her gut instinct, Rinna, 42, turned down the first season of Dancing with the Stars. Her agents — and hubby Harry Hamlin — worried that it was just another cheesy reality show. But when it debuted last June, "I wanted to kill myself! I thought it was brilliant," Rinna says. Now the self-professed "workout fiend" is getting a second chance. "My body is ready for this, but I'm tired mentally," she says. "The mental part is very hard

Dancing with the StarsI think I was the only person in the office who didn't watch this over the summer, and I regretted it for months, so I had high expectations here tonight. The only problem is, it seems like the show's producers have decided that everyone else watching was a fan of the first season, so we got very little explanation of how the celebrities and partners were matched up, how long they had to learn their dances, what dances to expect in the coming weeks, etc. How about a little bit of love for the new people here? Master P says he got all the people in the 'hood to watch! OK, I'll cut to the dancing right away, like the show did:
