Dancing with the Stars: The Cast According to Kelly

Who chose Monica Seles?

One week from today, ABC will announce the official cast for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars during an episode of The Bachelor Pad (which is actually going to force me to watch The Bachelor Pad which I have successfully trained my brain not to do. This will then force me to either vomit or pass out. It’s all in the name of blogging people).

I’m so excited for the new season of DWTS I may just step-ball-change until my feet fall off. But when I’m not doing that, I’m also thinking of who should be cast in this new season. We already have some of our hints and speculation (my mom thinks Kelly Ripa is going to be on because they’re doing some inane contest to see which radio host should fill in for her on Regis and Kelly while the Ripster goes on “vacation”), but I think the cast I cooked up is pretty freakin’ amazing. Please feel free to add your own picks below. Suggestions are always welcome, but not necessarily taken into consideration.

The MTV Video Music Awards – 10 Years Ago

For the past few weeks, MTV has been playing videos in the morning (I know, videos!) featuring past VMA winners, in anticipation of the 2010 Video Music Awards, which will be held Sept. 12.

I couldn’t really tell you what’s been going on with the VMAs in the past few years, except the disastrous Britney performance in ’07, but I do know that watching these videos in the a.m. is bringing back a lot of memories.

Here are two of my favorite VMA performances, both from 2000. Watching these brings me right back to my living room, perfecting all the moves so that I could showcase them at school dances. I know, I’m a loser, but you know what? People requested me to do these dances. The chant was something like, “Go White Girl!” I could have been on Glee!

Music on the Page: Bob Dylan Paints

So not only is Bob Dylan one of the greatest songwriters to ever live, he also paints, which makes him one of the few remaining Renaissance men (one of the others is Clint Eastwood – I love him).

From Sept. 4 to Jan. 30 of next year, Dylan’s paintings will be on display at the Statens Museum for Kunst National Gallery of Denmark. “Bob Dylan: The Brazil Series” is made up of 40 canvases portraying Brazilian scenes. As Dylan explains on the gallery website, “this exhibition is an accurate reflection of his endeavors as a visual artist; an area of work which has received increasingly intensive focus from the artist himself in recent years.”

Dylan made these works specifically for the Denmark gallery. To view more of his works, click here.
