Who knew a model who is still a pencil after 4 kids would be able to take over the odds for DWTS? I know, totally not fair especially when you have an actual athlete in the competition, but what is life for but to torture us all? Bodog has Brooke at 2/1, while there's a 5-way tie with Toni, Maurice, Cody, Susan, and Misty all at 4/1. Listen, if a model wins this year I'll be full of spittle and cuss words. She's just supposed to stand there and be skinny. And they're usually the ones who get dropped early. Or maybe she just had a lucky week last week and she'll fall on her ass this week. It has been that exciting since Heather Mills fell, I'll tell ya.
I guess America didn't really want one more week with Ted McGinley? But they wanted one more with Cloris. Get those boobs out, girl! Work that old cleavage! But really? Did we need to see Jesse McCartney? That dude has not aged well in the past few years. I see his video at the gym and there's something about him that just creeps me out. It's like being a pop star has made him a hard man. Just think about what he'll be like when he's 30, the poor thing. Or is he already 30? I don't get Hollywood.
On the one hand, it's probably better that Jeffrey Ross got kicked off DTWS last night because the guy has a pretty foul mouth and was probably going to get ABC in trouble somehow. On the other hand, can you really put up with another week of Ted McGinley? Or maybe America is just waiting until next week for that one. Or they just love Cloris's cleavage so much they just need another hit. Who knows.
Oh, and Clay Aiken finally came out. I mean, really dude?
You mean the DWTS judges are meaner this year? Sweet!
So I wasn't able to catch all of last night's awesomeness due to watching the premiere of Heroes (what's up with Mohinder and his sudden hotness? He's like the new Sayid or something.), but I was able to get enough of the gist of the show (and with some extra reading around the Interwebs) was able to get the update on the show.
Wow.
So I know it's only the first night. Everbody's nervous and nobody really breaks out that first night. Usually we only see possible flashes of brilliance. But what I'm wondering is why Toni Braxton had to cancel her Vegas show because of a heart condition only to go on this show, which pushes you to the limit physically.
Ugh. I was kinda hoping the Cloris Leachman would bring some old-school charm to the ballroom, but unfortunately she just showed some old woman cleavage. I wish that Susan Lucci would've brought some of the old Jane Seymour grace, but I think she's just so used to be being a witch on a soap opera that it's hard to let that go when you're not at work. Right?
And the guys. Really, dudes? Jeff Ross is better at hosting roasts than dancing. Lance pulled it out a little, but he got beat by Brooke Burke tonight, which is pretty strange. And Warren Sapp kinda surprised the judges by not doing too shabbily. He might even stay in a little longer than we all expected.
Every season of this show we hope and pray that it'll be another season of glorious trainwrecks of dancing, but it usually just ends up being really awkward at the beginning and then someone just takes the lead and kicks everyone's butts with 30s at the end. But then again, there is the X Factor that is the Lance Bass. You cannot stop him, you can only hope to contain him.
But. Bodog does have volleyballer Misty May-Treanor still in the lead to take the mirrorball at 9/4, though Lance is right behind her at 9/2. Like I said before, Misty's got the advantage because she's got Maksim, which is really key because he's really hot. But you never know. She might just be a glorious trainwreck. We'll just have to tune in tonight to find out.
Out of respect for today's anniversary, we're not posting today. Please take time to remember all of victims of today's tragedy, and thank those who put their lives on the line every day to protect ours.
We'll be back next week!

Like, I didn't even bother watching. I mean, Russell Brand? Hosting the 25th Anniversary? Seriously? I would've had Pee Wee Herman come out first, not Britney. Then I would've had Arsenio Hall host, because he really was the best one of them all. Then I would've busted out a little Madonna, a little REM, a little Pearl Jam, some LL Cool J, hell, even some Paula Abdul... all the people who have had memorable performances at the VMAs over the years. And it was just a trainwreck all over. The only person who seemed to give a crap was Xtina, and you know she took the whole show with her re-work of "Genie In A Bottle" and her medley. So what if she lipsynced it, we all know if her voice was on she would've knocked it out of the park.
The rest of it? Boo on you MTV. I didn't even bother.
This is funny. Ex-Color Me Badd singer Bryan Abrams was arrested for public drunkenness and domestic abuse on Friday, but the best part of the whole thing is this little bit right here:
Abrams, 38, apparently punched a woman in the nose and verbally threatened the woman by saying "I’m a kill you! You and me! You and me!" according to a police report.
Apparently he hasn't learned about rehab yet. But he's starting to get really good at becoming a reality show whore by pulling this kind of crap.
But, to relive our adolescence, here's our favorite New Jack Swing group doing "All 4 Love":
I'm thinking AI's next winner will be a girl... but that's just me
Although last season's bunch probably really was the most talented of all the seasons they've had so far, it was pretty obvious from the get-go that the odds were kinda stacked against the girls once Archie opened his mouth. Not to say that they didn't try, though. But I'm thinking this year, the girls are probably going to dominate once again. Just watch the audition shows in January, and you'll see. Even so, betUS has both the boys and girls evenly matched at -120, but we all know the girls are going to take it this season, right?
So listen, when they bring on a big designer on this show, the contestants go apesh*t. It's almost like they don't know how to be themselves and they overcompensate. And the thing about this show is that it's so much about your individuality and asserting your voice with your talent than it is about the talent itself. And when you try to overly impress a huge designer by doing what they want as opposed to showing yourself off just backfires.
Except for this episode.
Normally sticking to your guns is a noble enterprise. Not so much for Stella. Especially when you look at the picture of her design, it just looks like a corporate vampire outfit. I think it's the lapels or something. And Leanne pulled out another one, which is both surprising and not. It's always those quiet ones you have to watch out for, right? But that doesn't mean that Korto isn't right behind her.
It looks like the golden olympians might just take another mirrorball trophy this year, but will there be a surprise? betUS has put up their odds on who might just win Dancing With The Stars this season, and it looks like it might possibly get crowded at the top. Hannah Montana co-star Cody Linley is at +400, and while he does have youth on his side, we saw that didn't quite work out in Mario's favor last year. But like Kristi Yamaguchi last year, Beijing gold medalist Misty May-Treanor is at +250. But, she and Kerri Walsh just broke their 112-game winning streak, so maybe she might be intimidated by being watched by all those millions of people. Maybe Kim Karadishian (and her big +1200 ass) might just bounce its way into our hearts.
McCain picked Palin. Obama picked Biden. Did it change the odds at all? Bodog has put back up their odds on who's going to win the race for the White House in 2 months. Regardless of who you're voting for, it will be an historic election.
And the odds? Well, it's almost neck and neck now that we're closer to November 4th John McCain is at +150, but Barack Obama still has the slightly better odds at -200-- which aren't definitively winning odds, but there's an edge. Can he keep it up to make it all the way, though?
Who knew a model who is still a pencil after 4 kids would be able to take over the odds for DWTS? I know, totally not fair especially when you have an actual athlete in the competition, but what is life for but to torture us all? Bodog has Brooke at 2/1, while there's a 5-way tie with Toni, Maurice, Cody, Susan, and Misty all at 4/1. Listen, if a model wins this year I'll be full of spittle and cuss words. She's just supposed to stand there and be skinny. And they're usually the ones who get dropped early. Or maybe she just had a lucky week last week and she'll fall on her ass this week. It has been that exciting since Heather Mills fell, I'll tell ya.
