'Dancing' is Back!

The new celebs are competing for the mirrored ball trophy! "Dancing with the Stars" is back and season 8 has already proven to be full of surprises!

Playboy pinup Holly Madison and "The Bachelor" reject Melissa Rycroft joined the cast as last-minute replacements. Holly stepped-in for Jewel after she fractured her tibia. The blonde babe had only a few days to rehearse with partner Dimitri Chaplin. Melissa signed on last Friday after Nancy O'Dell pulled out with a torn meniscus.

"Sex and the City" star Gilles Marini pulled his Achilles tendon during rehearsals in February, but the audience never would have known! He and partner Cheryl Burke sexed up the family friendly show with a racy cha cha cha, leaving judge Bruno Tonioli impressed. "Clothes on or clothes off, you certainly know how to strut your stuff," said a bubbly Bruno. The couple earned the night's top score of 24.

Olympic Gold medalist Shawn Johnson, 17, is the youngest competitor and small in stature, but she proved her gymnastics background was a big help when it came to waltzing with partner Mark Ballas. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba told the couple she was "truly moved." Shawn and Mark's total score was a 23. "Go-Go" Belinda Carlisle delivered a sturdy but lackluster dance yielding low marks, while "Jackass" star Steve-O may be this season's clown prince. Rapper Lil Kim dedicated her dance to her former fellow prisoners, while Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak delivered an awkward performance that left him compared to a Teletubby.

Fresh off her breakup with "The Bachelor," Melissa Rycroft sparkled her way onto the dance floor in a dazzlingly revealing costume. The former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and partner Tony Dovolani waltzed away with a score of 23. Judge Bruno Tonioli confessed, "You are a revelation! It was like watching a beautiful bird about to take flight."

Jason, I slipped and fell and had a huge gash in my leg 3 inches wide and to the bone. I deserve so much worse for what I am doing to you Melissa.” KARMA, KARMA, KARMA

Secondly- for the record- producers have revealed that it was not in his contract to break up with Melissa Rycroft on-air. That was his own jerk move

Jason and Melissa were on the TV show. TV shows like ratings. You can’t tell me that Melissa didn’t know something was wrong.
Another thing - each signed a contract. Contracts have rules.

The end please.

Melissa “waltzed” her way into America’s hearts after being betrayed by bachelor Jason Mesnick on the most shocking and talked about season finale ever of ABC’s The Bachelor. With an outpouring of support and affection from viewers across America, a dignified Melissa has personified the courage to move on. Her journey continues as a participant on season eight of Dancing with the Stars, valiantly stepping in with less than a week to train when two celebrities were forced to withdraw due to injuries. She teams with Tony Dovolani, who returns for his seventh season

Go Melissa

I am happy that Melissa was given the opportunity to be on DWTS. She did great and I will vote for her. No one deserves the humilation that Jason put her through. He has no integrity or class. He and Molly deserve each other.

WHATEVER KATHY, I BET U STILL WILL WANT TO SEE WHAT MELISSA DOES NEXT. STOP BEING JEALOUS! MELISSA HAS EVERY RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO IN HER LIFE.

To Melissa haters, you are just jealous because Melissa is going places and Jason is not.

Jason is on a dead end street going nowhere. He is trying to do damage control to save his image. He is the most hated bachelor.

I heard he is doing the talk show circuit. Why? He needs to tend to his son and his sweetie Molly. Does he want to be a celebrity?

Jason can go straight to hell where he belongs and he can take his excess baggage with him.

I can see why Deanna dumped him, he is no good.

HEY KATHY, JASON IS A LOSER. Melissa has it going on. Melissa has time to be a school teacher, colleges are not going to grow legs and walk away.

Melissa is right where is is supposed to be. She is a wonderful Gal.

I read on another posting that one of the judges on DWTS called jason a loser. Good for the judge. Jason is a pathetic liar and he is a good actor, he cried those alligator tears. He doesn’t have the balls to be a man, he is a sissy baby.

Jason is a pathetic liar

Everyone is saying “O, poor Melissa.” I don’t think she is poor Melissa! I think she is so using thie experience with Jason as a stepping stone, to get herself back in the spotlight. All that crap about wanting to be a teacher, sure, Melissa tell Jason what he wants to hear. I think she played Jason from the beginning. Good acting Melissa. Watch, see will go on to acting, or something so she can be in the spotlight.

“The Bachelor’s loss is Dancing with the Stars’ gain.” That’s was one of Len Goodman said, one of the judges said, and the other male judge put an “L” on his forehead and called Jason a LOSER.

I have to give Melissa alot of credit for enduring the humilation by JASON THE JERK, and showing the world she is a strong woman. The embarrassment by that LOSER JASON is not stopping Melissa and I admire her greatly.

Melissa was awesome in her outfit and her dance was really good. She didn’t have long to practice however, she still shined.
