Wayne Newton: TV Guide News

At the Dancing Finish Line | Matt Roush | 11/28/2007
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... read more be the first to leave a comment
Wayne Newton Deemed Healthy Enough to Quick-step | Today's News: Our Take | 11/21/2007
Although Wayne Newton's recurring heart infection recently acted up — forcing him to cancel a two-month gig at Harrah's Las Vegas — the legendary entertainer has been OK'd to tour with Dancing with the Stars. But listen, when the 38-city road trip begins on Dec. 18, cut the guy some slack if he refrains from lifting Joey Lawrence. — Ben Katner read more be the first to leave a comment
Newton Keeps Dancing Despite Pneumonia Scare | Today's News: Our Take | 11/13/2007
If you’re wondering what makes a legend, consider this: The morning after Wayne Newton was voted off Dancing with the Stars, "I was diagnosed with pneumonia," he says. "I spent about a week going through all kinds of physical tests with my personal doctor, [famed heart surgeon] Dr. Michael DeBaky — not for heart stuff, just breathing stuff. I've had asthma my whole life, but I hadn’t had an attack in maybe 20 years."Newton's close call spooked fellow contenders. After she collapsed on air — also from breathing problems — Marie Osmond says, "All I could think was, 'That could have been Wayne.' I was so worried about him."Newton, though, is made of tough entertainer stuff, and as such looks forward to not only returning for the DWTS finale, but also the national tour kicking off in mid-December. Toward that goal, this week he says he will seek "a clean bill of health from my doctors." — Reporting by Deborah Starr Seibel read more be the first to leave a comment

Dancing with the Stars Unveils Biggest Cast Ever | Today's News: Our Take | 8/29/2007
Jane Seymour. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Wayne Newton. Jennie Garth. The lineup for the fifth season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars — premiering Sept. 24 — will again showcase actors and singers not known for their dancing, as well as former teen idols, models, athletes, and names many have never heard of. "The people who work best for us have a good story, who come from a field where you think, 'Wow, why are they doing this?'" says executive producer Conrad Green. That includes "Mr. Las Vegas," Wayne Newton, whom producers have been trying to land for two years. "I've worked my entire life doing two shows a night, seven nights a week," says the 65-year-old. "But this is a whole different ball of wax."The casting may seem arbitrary, but it's a very precise process. Explains Green, "We tend to start by thinking about a few key people we'd love to get on the show, or professions we haven't had. There are certain professions and personality types that the audience really engages... read more be the first to leave a comment
