I was really hoping that all the leaked names would prove to be false, but sadly the names that have been rumored for Dancing with the “Stars” have proven to be true. They are David Hasselhoff, Florence Henderson, Jennifer Grey, Margaret Cho, Michael Bolton, The Situation, Brandy, Bristol Palin, Audrina Patridge, Rick Fox, Kurt Warner and Kyle Massey. When did Bristol Palin and Audrina Patridge become “stars”? Who is Kyle Massey? I watch ABC Family and I’ve never heard of him. Wonder if Rick Fox’s current (Eliza Dukshu) lover and ex (Vanessa Williams) will come out and support him together, because that is the only thing that makes him interesting, Who knew that The Situation was a closet DWTS fan, kind of takes away from his cred. Michael Bolton, he is still alive? Oh yeah I didn’t see his Nanny appearance in yesterday’s In Memoriam during the Emmys. Brandy, when was the last time she was relevant for her career? Jennifer Grey, it took Patrick Swayze dying to get her on the show? Florence Henderson turned me off when she was on My Fair Brady. Margaret Cho actually bores me. And the only one who has my vote is David Hasselhoff because the other 11 suck. Let’s skip past this sh!tty season and give him the mirror ball trophy.
BTW the ones I really feel bad for are the professionals because there are a lot of rumors that a bunch of these so-called stars are extreme divas. Well at least Edyta Sliwanska confirmed on her Twitter she won’t have to worry about any of it because sadly she won’t be back on the ABC show.
I would tell you when DWTS would be back on, but let’s be real who actually plans on watching with those names. The worst names yet. I am skipping this season and my DVR said thank you to ABC for such a bad list of names.

A few weeks ago Modern Family and ABC put out an ad saying if they were to win the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, that Sofia Verga would run naked down Sunset Blvd. But if you read the fine print, you will see that the cast member could change without notice. Recently I was at the ABC TCA summer press day and I asked the adult cast members who were there, Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet, Ed O’Neill, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara and show creator and two-time Emmy winner Steve Levitan, would they do the nude run if they brought home that coveted gold statuette. Well as you know, the show won the Emmy award it so richly deserved for Outstanding Comedy Series, and here is who we might see video of running their bare a$$es down Sunset Blvd. Who will do it, who won’t and how they will do it might surprise you because it surprised me!
Eric Stonestreet
Julie Bowen said, I would walk and wave down Sunset Blvd if we won. No! I would nominate Ty, probably, to take Sofia’s place or Ed. I don’t know anyone who wants to see me walking naked anywhere.
Ed O’Neill
No, no, no, no! Nobody wants to see me naked trust me. Maybe Sofia, for sure. Sofia might do it
Ty Burrell
Ty: I guess this is a spoiler, “yes!†I’m first up
SOW: Are you ready to do it?
Ty: I’m going to do it today, just for fun…I do it every day just for exercise, a naked run down Sunset, just for fitness. So if they want to document it, that will be fine.
Julie Bowen
JB: I don’t know anyone who would do it.
SOW: Ty said he would do it.
JB: G-d bless Ty
SOW: I think it is going to be the twins.
JB: I have no idea, boy we should be so lucky to have that problem.
Sofia Vergara
SV: I will do what I have to do. I mean, I don’t think I will run that is really ridiculous because I have bad knees….They called me from the show and were like do you mind if we put this ad in and I was like “no!†but I really thought they were not going to put it in. And then like two days, I realized that they did it.
SOW: Ty said he would go naked if you don’t want to.
SV: Well hopefully if you read it perfectly, you see it says the cast member can change, so I am hoping it is either Ty or Ed maybe.
Steve Levitan
SL: I will not do that under any circumstances, I don’t want to blind people.
SOW: Oh please…Who came up with the ad?
SL: I wrote that.
SOW: How did you come up with the ad?
SL: They told us they were taking some ads out and I said, that most of the ads taken out for shows are very boring and generic. Why don’t we go past you and do something that is a little bit different, so we wrote a few ads…and let’s try to make people laugh a little bit. Our show is smart, let’s be smart in our ads.
I know who I want to see run naked (and yes it is one of the men who said no), but I know you boys want to see the lovely and naturally funny Sofia Vergara do it. I am still waiting to hear back from ABC who will do it, but as of now no response. All I know is I want to be there when they decide to do it. But what I am looking forward to more is September 22nd, when the show that revived family sitcoms is back for a second season!
I am can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that Modern Family won three Emmys last night because it is such original, well-written, hysterical comedy with a cast that really feel like a family. And if that ad is what pushed those Emmy voters to give it as many wins as they did, then whichever cast member will have to make the embarrassing sacrifice of running in the birthday suit down the Sunset Strip…it was well worth it!
