Linda Dano alert! The soap vet guest-stars on WB's What I Like About You on Feb. 17. She'll play Dan Cortese's mother, which also makes her Jennie Garth's new monster-in-law. "On Desperate Housewives, I play a mother [who] is thrilled that her son even likes women. On this [show], I play a mother who would prefer that her son's new wife would disappear," Dano cracks. "For me, this experience was even richer because Dan also directed the episode."
FYI, Dano will pinch-hit for
Lisa Rinna from Feb. 13 to Feb. 15 on SoapNet's
Soap Talk, which uses guest cohosts when Rinna's busy hoofing on
Dancing with the Stars.

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:
George Hamilton and Edyta Sliwinska: I thought George would be pretty good, since he's older and maybe da

Ty Treadway, Soap Talk
Is Soap Talk cohost Ty Treadway — who played troubled twins Colin and Troy MacIver on One Life to Live — actively courting The Bold and the Beautiful for a part? Well, yes and no. Reports published elsewhere have suggested that he's aggressively campaigning to be on Brad Bell's serial about L.A. fashionistas. Now Ty wants to clarify things a bit.
"Let me tell you exactly what that was about," Treadway says. "My cohost Lisa Rinna and I were on location in Hawaii doing interviews with reporters to promote Soap Talk's Season 4 launch. Lisa said, 'You know what show would be great for you? B&B. It's a half hour, it films close to your house, it's one of the top soaps on the air and Brad Bell is great with developing characters. We're gonna put that out into the universe!'
"Lisa's always putting stuff out into the universe," he adds with a chuckle. "Within a month, three

Harry Hamlin
The trial of Logan's father for the murder of Lilly Kane on UPN's Veronica Mars (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET) sure seems open-and-shut. So why can't we seem to shake what Daddy Far-From-Dearest said to his son during their Nov. 9 jailhouse heart-to-heart? Is there more to the show's original mystery than meets the eye? Aaron's portrayer, L.A. Law alum Harry Hamlin, talked to TVGuide.com about that, his Dancing wife and showing the funny to Adam Sandler.
TVGuide.com: Has the whole Veronica Mars gig turned out to be as fun as you hoped it would?
Harry Hamlin: I actually had no hopes going into it, but it turned out to be really great. I'm not doing that much right now but am
