On Feb. 29 at 9 pm/ET, Lifetime's premiering Your Mama Don't Dance, a new reality series in which parents and their kids pair up to compete in nationally televised dance-offs.Given that the show is not only pairing aspiring young dancers with their moms and dads but also promises to "explor[e] the sometimes love/hate... relationship between kids and... read more
90210 Pals Reunite in Another Life | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/21/2007
For Beverly Hills, 90210 fans, it doesn?t get much better than this: Two grads of West Beverly High?s Class of ?93 reunite (well, sort of ) on Sunday (9 pm/ET) when Jason Priestley (aka boy-next-door Brandon Walsh) is joined by his old Peach Pit pal Ian Ziering (the affable Steve Sanders) on Priestley?s Lifetime dramedy Side Order of Life. ?To reunite implies we have been away from each other, which couldn?t be further from the truth,? says Ziering. ?Jason and I are the best of friends. As far... read more
Dancing with the Stars Countdown! Jennie Garth Q&A | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/21/2007
As Ian Ziering struggled mightily to dance his way into fourth place on last season's Dancing with the Stars, there was one fellow cast mate who showed up twice to root him on: Beverly Hills, 90210's Jennie Garth. "I was just determined for him to get a '10,'" says Garth, referring to the top score from the judges. "I know that that was what he was going for. And when he did, I felt like he could go home." Did she herself feel the pull of the parquet floor? "No!" she says. "I was thinking ... read more

More Hills, Less Land (of the Lost) | The Joy of Sets | 8/27/2007
First of all, loving you guys for writing in last week. The world is filled with blogs these days (hell, this site is filled with blogs), so for anyone to read mine, much less reply? I’m feeling very Sally Field. Thanks for liking me!Now, about the 90210-Melrose situation that seems to have erupted. Like Chappy explained with NASA-powered GPS accuracy in the comments, the final two episodes of 90210’s sophomore season introduced Grant Show as Melrose’s Jake Hanson, the dude who... read more
Isaiah's Bionic Makeover, and Other Random Thoughts | TV Matt'rs | 7/18/2007
• The paparazzi seem to have two new obsessions: Sarah Michelle Gellar, and celebrities with dogs. What begat either of 'em? No offense to Buffy at all, but it's as if they just this past week "discovered" her, or did she suddenly recover from agoraphobia? And Heigl with a dog, Paris with a dog, Duff with a dog.... Do the paps carry a spare Chihuahua in their film bag? • Knock me over with a feather, the Hairspray movie remake/redo/reimagining is getting some 4-star raves, including... read more
Ian Ziering Wants Price Is Right Gig; Steines, Newton Are Finalists | Today's News: Our Take | 7/12/2007
According to the New York Daily News, 90210/Dancing with the Stars alum Ian Ziering has gotten a callback from The Price Is Right, where he is among the crop of possibles to follow in Bob Barker's shoes. "He was all jittery" upon hearing the good news, a source tells the tab. "He really, really wants it." The New York Post, meanwhile, hears that ET's Mark Steines and Todd Newton, who have long been in this seemingly endless race, are the two final frontrunners.It may all come down to whether... read more

May 7, 2007: Daddy's Girl and Jessie's Girl | Dancing With the Stars | 5/8/2007
Emotions ran high on and off the dance floor last night, running the gamut from sentimental dedications to insults taken too personally. Let’s start with the good before we proceed to the bad and ugly. The guest we’ve been waiting for all season was finally in the audience: Muhammad Ali, on hand to support his daughter. Laila dedicated her performances to her mom and dad, and she had an extra sparkle in her eye all night. She began and ended her lovely waltz like Sleeping Beauty, and... read more
Having Fun | Ian's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 5/7/2007
So this week John Ratzenberger got sent home. People may not remember, but he did step in at the very last moment to replace Vincent Pastore, and even though he was playing catch up, he had a really positive attitude about this experience, and was sort of the father figure of the crew. So it was sad to see him go. I know Billy was on the chopping block with John and I would have felt awful if Billy got sent home since this past week he took time out of his rehearsal to hang with me a little and... read more
April 30, 2007: Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun | Dancing With the Stars | 5/1/2007
Remember that episode of 90210 where Steve entered a dance competition and Brandon, Kelly and Donna cheered him on? No? OK, it never happened, but it sort of felt like such an episode last night when founding members of what Tom dubbed the “90210 Alumni Association” were in the audience supporting Ian. I don’t know if it was their cheers or Billy Ray’s tutoring, but whatever it was, it worked. Ian finally came alive on the dance floor! His first dance was good and showed... read more

Week 5: Doing It for My Partner | Cheryl's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 4/30/2007
Hi, everyone! Another week, another two dances. This week you'll get to see Ian and I dance the tango and the mambo, sort of opposite ends of the spectrum in the dance world. Lately we've been working twice as hard as normal. Learning two dances this week has been tough, especially since we just got into the pace of nailing one dance per week. Two dances each week is what's going to separate the pack a little bit more. We're going to start to see a few couples gently ease their way away from... read more
April 23, 2007: All the World's a Stage | Dancing With the Stars | 4/24/2007
Let’s jump right to the highlight of the night: the group swing was 100 percent fun, perhaps the best group dance that involved the celebrities in the past four seasons of Dancing with the Stars. Everyone was so into the performance that the energy was contagious. Even more impressive was how well they gelled as a group (even Heather and Jonathan, who missed the group practice). The couples all played to their strengths (e.g., Ian and Cheryl did back-to-back lifts, while Laila tossed Max... read more

The Paso Doble | Ian's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 4/20/2007
Before I write this week’s Dancing with the Stars blog, I wish to extend my most sincere and heartfelt wishes to the entire Virginia Tech family. Words simply cannot convey my overwhelming sense of sorrow. My prayers and thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy, now and forever.This week, we saw Clyde Drexler get voted off. Clyde is the epitome of what it means to be a class act. All I can say is that if the DWTS producers put basketball hoops at both ends of the dance floor, every... read more
Week 4 | Cheryl's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 4/13/2007
Last week we bid a fond farewell to another couple — Leeza Gibbons and Tony Dovolani, or rather Team Gibbolani. You'll never meet a classier, more upbeat person than Leeza. She has one of the kindest souls of anyone I've ever met. And Tony — what can you say about Tony? Fun, driven, passionate and a bit of a jokester. Two wonderful people who we're definitely going to miss at Dancing with the Stars.Another week, another dance — this week we have the samba. The samba is a... read more
The Right Step | Ian's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 4/9/2007
Let's state the obvious about last week's show: I made a misstep. Missteps happen. I didn't want it to happen, it shouldn't have happened, but it happened. While I take Dancing with the Stars insanely seriously — I'm in this competition to win — I didn't feel that the misstep took away from the overall dance performance. (I mean, my buns haven’t moved like that... ever!) The judges, however, felt otherwise. Cheryl, who is obviously a dancer without peer, does such an amazing... read more
April 2, 2007: Movie Magic | Dancing With the Stars | 4/3/2007
I can’t go so far as to say it was an all-out theme night, but about half of last night’s celebrities got inspiration for their dances from movies. First Edyta took John Ratzenberger to a Valentino movie to get inspired for the tango. This seemed to work in terms of him getting into character for the dance. I was impressed with his facial expressions and intensity, but I think that was the strongest part of his dance. The judges pointed out that he needs to make some technical... read more
Week 3 | Cheryl's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 3/29/2007
You really never get used to that feeling of having to see someone get eliminated. On Tuesday we had to say goodbye to Paulina and Alec — two really great people. Not only is Paulina one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she’s also one of the nicest and funniest. Her sense of humor is certainly going to be missed — she was always quick with the wit. And Alec, well I think there are a lot of women in America who were very sad to see him and his hips go!Some of you... read more
March 26, 2007: Second Chances | Dancing With the Stars | 3/27/2007
Last night our stars had a sort of second chance to make a first impression. Initially, I was against not having an elimination last week, but the judges commented that they were grateful for the chance to see everyone do both Latin and ballroom dances, and that is a good point — some people are simply better at one style than the other. OK, so they won me over with this new wait-a-week system.So who benefited from this extra week? First and foremost, Billy Ray Cyrus. Wow, did he step it... read more
This Ain't No West Beverly Prom! | Ian's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 3/23/2007
Let me start by saying this: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if at any point in my lifetime, through thought, word or deed, I somehow came to think that dancing was just a form of recreation and not a sport, and that those who participated were not athletes. Though the extent of my dance-competition exposure was really limited to Saturday Night Fever and my niece's dance recitals, I never really gave thought to professional dancers as athletes.I do now. When I was invited to be on... read more
Back on the Dance Floor | Cheryl's Dancing with the Stars Blog | 3/22/2007
Here we go again! It feels like just yesterday when I was anxiously standing by Emmitt's side waiting to hear our names called and be announced the winners of Season 3 of Dancing with the Stars.It's been such a blur since last season's finale way back in November. I had about a week off, which I spent in Hawaii with my family, and then I immediately started rehearsal for the first-ever Dancing with the Stars tour. Thirty-eight cities in something like 10 weeks — maybe it was more, maybe... read more

And they’re off! The 11 latest celebrities to put on their dancing shoes hit the ballroom live last night. It was step one of their quest for that fabulous, sparkling Dancing with the Stars trophy. Throughout the show, the hosts pointed out that this is “the most remarkable cast ever” and that we were watching “history-making” television. It’s good to know that they’re keeping this fun, lighthearted dance show in perspective.OK, while they may have overstated... read more
