I don’t know about you, but I got my wish Tuesday night. Boiled down to three words: Anyone. But. Marie. Seriously folks, if Dancing with the Stars’ trophy had gone to Marie Osmond the underdog — or rather, underdoll, as I like to think of her after Monday’s bizarre freestyle nondance that would have been better suited for the Island of Misfit Toys — I might even have joined the legions of disgruntled fans who tend to declare "I’m never watching again" after each cycle when their favorite doesn’t win.And then, of course, they return the following season, because once hooked on this deliriously entertaining reality contest, few can resist the spectacle of watching B-list celebs put on their dancing shoes with varying degrees of nerve, style and success. New stars tend to emerge from this process, and few have blazed with such effortless charm than the eventual winner, Helio Castroneves, whom I’d bet very few outside of my Indy-500-obsessed fami...

According to the New York Post, Mark Cuban wants his fellow former hoofer to put up his dukes. "We're talking to Mario [Lopez]... to put together a celebrity mixed-martial-arts program where celebs beat the heck out of each other," says the moneybags Dancing with the Stars reject. Cuban's even willing to trade a few blows himself, with nemesis Donald Trump. "Donald always picks on people, and a lot of them aren't in a position to stand up to him," Cuban notes. "When I stand up to him, I am standing up for all the people who are afraid to. He's all show and no go." — Ben Katner

All those billions will no doubt help Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban rebound from getting benched last week, but his anticipated exit should finally get this season's schadenfreude out of the way, too. In addition, it's probably no coincidence that the show waits until the less-talented dancers are eliminated to unleash the first group dance, because otherwise it might turn into an exercise of cat herding. — Joe Friedrich

Nothing, it seems, is calm this season on Dancing with the Stars (airs Mondays at 8 pm/ET and Tuesdays at 9 pm/ET on ABC). It isn't just the stars who are having trouble (Marie Osmond fainting, Jennie Garth crashing, Jane Seymour losing her mother). The guest stars are in the weeds, too. Last week Gloria Estefan had to bow out of performing on results night when her mother became seriously ill. And this week Jennifer Lopez had to tape her two segments on Sunday night — instead of performing live on Tuesday — due to her own family emergency,
