Want to know who’ll be on Dancing with the Stars?

I’m not a big fan of Dancing with the Stars or really any reality shows, but I know that many of you are so I thought I’d take a moment and give you the scoop on which celebrities will be appearing when the ABC show returns on Monday, September, 22nd.

Here’s the lineup and their dancing partners:

Toni Braxton, singer, 40, and season one DWTS champ Alec Mazo
Lance Bass, singer, 29, and Lacey Schwimmer
Ted McGinley, actor, 50, and Inna Brayer
Cloris Leachman, actress, 82, and Corky Ballas
Warren Sapp, former NFL star, 35, and Kym Johnson
Rocco DiSpirito, chef, 41, and Karina Smirnoff
Kim Kardashian, TV personality, 27, and reigning DWTS champ Mark Ballas
Maurice Green, Olympic gold medalist track and field star, 34, and two-time DWTS champ Cheryl Burke
Misty May-Treanor, Olympic gold medalist beach volleyball player, 31, and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Susan Lucci, Emmy-award winning soap opera actress, 61, and Tony Dovolani
Jeffrey Ross, 42, comedian, and Edyta Sliwinska
Cody Linley, 18, actor, and two-time DWTS champ Julianne Hough
Brooke Burke, 36, TV personality, and Derek Hough

Wow, Cloris Leachman, at 82 is the oldest ever contestant on Dancing with the Stars! I remember her best from shows like Mary Tyler Moore! I took a peak at her filmography and she’s been active in films and television shows from the 1940′s right up until the present. In fact she’s in three post production movies due out in 2008 and 2009. Good for her!

The writers strike is on!

Well it looks like the Writers Guild of America has gone on strike. I wonder how long it will last and how it will affect the shows that we’ve grown to love?

Word is that daily shows like Soaps and talk shows will be hit the hardest. Letterman and and Jay Leno are going into reruns as of today. Other shows will likely follow suit.

Apparently shows like Gray’s Anatomy and The Office stockpiled scripts in anticipation of this strike so they should continue to have material to work with through till January, but other shows where the actors are also writers such as 30 Rock may not fair so well. 24 and Lost may not start when they are supposed to and have a shorter season when they do start.

The last Writers Guild Strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks! If this one lasts even half that long you’d better get used to Reality TV because that might be the only thing on!

How do you feel about the Writers strike?

Rupert Everett quits Reality program

British actor Rupert Everett walked out of a celebrity version of reality TV show The Apprentice after just one day, because he hated being treated like a Big Brother contestant.

The 47-year-old star couldn’t stand the intrusiveness of the cameras and microphones on Celebrity Apprentice, a show created for British charity Comic Relief.

He says, “It is just so different from doing a feature film. I went in with good intentions but I just could not cope with the Big Brother mentality.”

Everett was one of ten celebrities, including Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, to take part in the show, which will be aired in Britain in March 2007.
