In 1999, Danielle Fishel went to the prom with then-boyfriend Lance Bass in a floor-length, white silk, spaghetti-strapped dress.
Now, almost 25 years later, the actress recreated her prom photo with her best friend. The parents of two each have not aged a day since that memorable night. And not just because she is still able to fit into that same dress. It is all of it.
Dancing with the Stars has made a big difference for her, and all of it was for good. Seriously, doesn’t she look fantastic?
Brian Austin Green worked constantly as a child actor in the ’80s. However, there was a show that he was fired from early on in his career.
Which show was it? He told Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong on their podcast, Pod Meets World podcast, that he was hired as a guest star on My Two Dads. However, after the run-through, executive producer Michael Jacobs fired him because he didn’t like the way he read the lines.
That was the one and only time he was fired from a project. However, that was not the only child that Jacobs fired. The podcasters shared with him that Jacobs, who went on to produce Boy Meets World, fired 10 kids in the first five episodes of that sitcom. Then Fishel revealed that he tried to fire her on her first day, and that she was replacing someone who had been let go for playing her role.
So it makes you wonder. If this guy, who seems to hate kids’ acting so much, why did he work on so many shows with children?
They also asked Green about his middle name. The actor explained that the name on his birth certificate was Brian Green. He got that name because his mother, who was struggling to give birth to him and his broad shoulders, told her husband to name him whatever he wanted. And he could only come up with Brian.
Fast forward to Brian Green joining SAG. There was another actor who had that name, so he had to add a middle name. He and his mom tried several different names until they settled on Austin. Do you think they made the right choice?
For weeks, Danielle Fishel has been teasing a Boy Meets World reunion on Dancing with the Stars, and yesterday was it. Since it was Dedication Night, she dedicated her dance to the legendary William Daniels, who was the father figure to all of them on the set. She even included the 98-year-old (Can you believe that Mr. Feeney is that old?) in her dance with Pasha Pashkov, who dressed up as the absent Ben Savage.
The two of them were not alone. Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), Matthew Lawrence (Jack Hunter), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews), Trina McGee (Angela Moore), Bonnie Bartlett (Dean Bolander), and Alex Désert (Eli Williams) were in the audience cheering them on. And they had a lot to cheer for.

This morning on Good Morning America, they revealed who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars. And, like most seasons, I am still trying to figure out who most of the stars are.
So, who are they? They are:
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Jen Affleck with partner Jan Ravnik
Author and wellness influencer Hilaria Baldwin and partner Gleb Savchenko
Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with partner Ezra Sosa
NBA All-Star Baron Davis with partner Britt Stewart
Social media personality Alix Earle with partner Val Chmerkovskiy
Social media and reality TV star Dylan Efron and partner Daniella Karagach
Actor and musician Corey Feldman with partner Jenna Johnson
“Boy Meets World” star Danielle Fishel with partner Pasha Pashkov
Film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix with partner Alan Bersten
From “Pentatonix,” GRAMMY® winner Scott Hoying with partner Rylee Arnold
Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin with partner Witney Carson
From “Fifth Harmony,” Lauren Jauregui with partner Brandon Armstrong
From “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Whitney Leavitt with partner Mark Ballas
Comedian Andy Richter with partner Emma Slater
I think that Jennifer Affleck has a good chance of winning. Not because she is the best dancer, which she might be. She will win because her partner is Jan Ravnik, whose claim to fame is dancing on the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. Therefore, the Swifties will be voting for him in mass, and we know how massive their support is.
I also think that Corey Feldman and Hilaria Baldwin will be the first ones out because I don’t think they are not that likable.
Season 34 premieres dances its way onto ABC on September 16th.
Before Danielle Fishel was playing with Cory Matthews on Boy Meets World, she was playing with Magic Nursery First Surprise Babies. She looks the same now as she did when she was 10 in that 1991 commercial.
