NJ.com reports that the rest of the star-studded cast will include: standup comic and potential Bristol Palin-The Situation love triangle raider Margaret Cho; previous “Brady Bunch” mom Florence Henderson; Vanessa Williams’ husband Rick Fox; semi-balding on-again, off-again Nicollette Sheridan man toy Michael Bolton; and “Baby” from “Dirty Dancing,” Jennifer Grey. Dancing With the Stars will most likely be seeing a lot of good dancing from Jennifer Grey. The celebrity dancing extravaganza may have literally saved her life.

Jennifer Grey got herself into a bad auto accident

Jennifer Grey knows how to dance, however after an automobile accident several years ago, it seemed as if she might never dance again. Grey talked to Zap2It. She explained that she talked to a neurological spine surgeon since she was having really bad pain in her neck. She really wanted to opportunity of being on DWTS. This is what motivated her for making an appointment with the surgeon she heard had worked on dancer Karina Smirnoff. Grey had never had the right treatment for the accident that tore ligaments in her neck. Grey was told by the surgeon that her spinal cord was compressed as a result of the degenerated condition. Any blow that caused even a minor shift would cause permanent paralysis. Grey decided it was time for surgery. She got her neck fused. In the process of that procedure, the doctor certain her to have a benign nodule removed.

A new neck and no-cancer is what Jennifer Grey ended up with

Now she can be able to do well on “Dancing with the Stars.” Jennifer Grey only went through treatment for the show. That is how Dancing With the Stars saved her life. “I was so frightened of the surgery, I didn’t want to even consider that it would be successful. And it was so successful, I proceeded to do everything else on my ‘to-do’ list that I was afraid of, including doing this show,” Grey told Zap2It. “I figure that if I don’t do it now, I’ll be too old for it. My body is clearly giving out.”

The Popularity of Dancing with the Stars

April 21, 2009 / admin / No comments

Dancing with the Stars has seen a lot of success in America, having been adapted from the United Kingdom BBC show Strictly Come Dancing. The show is so popular that it’s been adapted in more than 30 countries. The show pairs American celebrities, actors, and singers with professional ballroom dancers. A variety of dancing is done on Dancing with the Stars. Some of the most popular dances have been the cha-cha, the foxtrot, the tango, and the salsa. The couples then compete each week, facing a scoring and elimination. Viewers and fans of the show also get to cast their vote by phone and internet and the couple with the lowest combined score is eliminated that week. To date, eight seasons of Dancing with the Stars have aired, the last premiering in March of 2009.

The winners of season 1, which aired in 2005, were Kelley Monoco and Alec Mazo. The first episode of this season drew over thirteen million viewers, which was a record for a summer reality television series debut. For its entire duration, Dancing with the Stars stayed number 1 in the ratings. Season 2, which aired in 2006, featured Master P, Kenny Mayne, Tatum O’Neil, and Drew Lachey. Ultimately, Drew Lachey and his partner Cheryl Burke won the competition, probably due to the professional dancing career of Burke and the years of experience Lachey had in 98 Degrees.

In season 3 of Dancing with the Stars the voting system was changed. Instead of fan votes counting for 50% of the total score, it was reduced to 25%. Interestingly, the results show of season three also featured a Slim Fast dance challenge with Tysonia Sichinga and Christian Perry. The challenge was designed to show how Slim Fast and exercise can aid in weight loss but Tysonia ended up gaining almost five pounds from drinking too much Slim Fast. The winners of season 3 were Emmitt Smith, an NFL running back, and Cheryl Burke for the second time.

Later seasons of Dancing with the Stars proved the long-lasting popularity of the show. Other stars that have appeared include Joey Fatone of N’Sync, Wayne Newton, Helio Castroneves, an Indy 500 racer, Penn Jillette, and Toni Braxton.

The popularity and long-lasting appeal of Dancing with the Stars can’t be denied. With 8 seasons under its belt, the show is expected to remain on the air and drawing millions of votes around the country for years to come.
