Dancing with the Stars: Mambo!
A dance marathon? It’s a good thing — and the folks at “Dancing with the Stars” should think about doing more of them, particularly since they show just how bad folks like Michael Irvin really are.
Since this is a double-elimination week, it’s almost certain he’ll go home. Who else? Well, Louie Vito is vulnerable, but Melissa Joan Hart is my guess. She’s clunky.
Other observations:
1. What’s La Toya Jackson doing in the audience? Michael’s big week was LAST week. Is she angling to get on the next edition of “Stars”?
2. Aaron Carter is a little, um, full of himself. He’s pulling tricks we haven’t seen since Susan Lucci. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. He’s still a jerk.
3. Donny Osmond has to tone it down. He has been around Marie too long and now he thinks he has to do drama. Worse yet? He tries to act like he and Kym are Bobby and Cissy. Not.
4. Mya is coasting.
5. Kelly Osbourne acts like “Stars” is the only thing keeping her from rehab. She shouldn’t be so fragile. And that bit on the trapeze? Stupid.
6. Derek Hough needs to be the center of attention at all times. Even the flu couldn’t tone him down.
7. How many ads for “V” can they put on?
8. Mambo? You bet. The final dance was superb.
9. Best line: “The last refuge of the untalented are gimmicks and props.” Thanks Len Goodman, we couldn’t have said it better.
10. As bad as he is, Louie can do a mean backflip.
