Are you a fan of ABC’s Dancing with the stars? If you are I bet that you’ve been eagerly waiting to find out who’s going to be on the show when the series begins once more.
Well I won’t keep you in suspense. Here’s the list:
• Melanie “Mel B” Brown, 32, Spice Girls (“Scary Spice”) singer (pro partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy);
• Sabrina Bryan, 22, actress/singer (The Cheetah Girls) (pro partner: Mark Ballas);
• Helio Castroneves, 32, racecar driver (pro partner: Julianne Hough);
• Mark Cuban, 48, businessman (owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks) (pro partner: Kym Johnson);
• Jennie Garth, 35, actress (Beverly Hills, 90210) (pro partner: Derek Hough, older brother of Julianne Hough);
• Josie Maran, 29, supermodel (pro partner Alec Mazo);
• Cameron Mathison, 38, actor (All My Children) (pro partner: Edyta Sliwinska;
• Floyd Mayweather, Jr., 30, boxer (pro partner: Karina Smirnoff);
• Wayne Newton, 65, singer (pro partner: Cheryl Burke);
• Marie Osmond, 47, singer/doll designer (pro partner: Jonathan Roberts);
• Albert Reed, 22, supermodel (pro partner: Anna Trebunskaya; and
• Jane Seymour, 56, actress (pro partner: Tony Dovolani).
Wayne Newton? Hmm that should be interesting.
The show returns on September 24th with a new format. When the show debuts it will air on three consecutive nights in it’s first week, and then in the remaining competition weeks the show will air on Monday and Tuesday nights.
I’m not really a fan of the show. Don’t hit me! It’s just never interested me. So, while you guys are watching the show I just hope that the regular shows that I want to watch aren’t affected to badly by this schedule.

A great new television series called Gossip Girl will be premiering on Wednesday September, 19th (9 p.m./ 8 p.m. central time).
This new show is based on the novel series by Cecily von Ziegesar. The CW’s Gossip Girl is an exciting teen drama that takes place in New York’s Upper East Side. If you enjoyed the novels and like television series about young adults you’ll love Gossip Girl.
The cast of characters attend elite academic institutions while dealing with teenage issues such as sex, drugs and other problems faced by young adults. The main characters are best friends Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). The pair are both romantically interested in Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford).
The group of friends learn of Serena’s return to town through the blog of the secretive Gossip Girl. The show is narrated by the secretive Gossip Girl (voiced by Kristen Bell). Serena, a notorious party girl, is different when she returns to the city and none of her friends understand just what’s going on.
You can see a pre-view of the new show on the CW’s Gossip Girl web page. You can also visit the MySpace Fan Page where you can hook up with others who are anticipating the start of this new show.
Don’t forget to tune into the CW network September 19th to catch the premiere.

Have you ever been to the Burning Man festival? It’s an eight day festival in the Nevada Desert and it takes place from August 27th to September 3rd this year.
One of the highlights of the festival is the burning of a huge 40 foot tall man statue. The statue wasn’t supposed to be set aflame until Saturday, but an arsonist lit the statue and made it a burning man on Tuesday.
There are reports that festival participants were heard chanting “Save the man, save the man!”.
Authorities have charged Paul Addis for torching the statue and have charged him with Arson and a misdemeanor possession of fireworks.
The wooden statue will be rebuilt in time for the scheduled burning at 9 pm Saturday September 1st.
