"Dancing with the Stars" has not even aired yet and already there are casting changes. Due to injuries two women will not be able to compete.Jewel has suffered from tibia fractures in both legs and Nancy O’Dell tore her meniscus and she is going to have to have knee surgery. So the question is….who will replace these women? ABC is keeping mum about who it will be but a name that has surfaced is Holly Madison, Hugh’s ex, from the reality TV show, “The Girls Next Door”. Both Nancy and Jewel will be at the premiere. Both women are devastated by these developments, but what can they do. The dancing is rigorous and they need to take care of their bodies. I bet I can guess who Jewel will be rooting for…hubby and competitor Ty Murray.  Check out the premiere on Monday March 9th to watch the show and hear the big reveal news.

In other TV news, the rumor mill is swirling about reality TV star Jon of the TLC show “Jon and Kate plus 8”. I am going to start by saying this is all speculation and I am a big fan of the show so I hope it is not true, but it is being reported that Jon has been spending a lot of time in Huntington, Penn. where his mother lives. That is about 3 hours away from the new million dollar home he and his family have just moved into. Eyewitnesses are reporting that Jon was seen hanging out at a local bar where he met some girls from a local college and then went with them to a house party. Jon then played beer pong at the party and afterwards went with some of the girls to a bar and grille where he was seen getting drunker and flirting with girls. It is being said that he actually told one of the girls that he might be getting divorced. Star Magazine has a witness that said, “He was dirty dancing with several of them, making out, kissing them on the necks and mouths. I thought it was rather surprising for a father with his wife and so many kids at home to be acting like this.” Since this information is all over the internet, Jon has released a statement through his rep basically denying all of this and how hurtful it is that people are spreading these rumors. He says that he was taking pictures with fans and that it has all been taken out of context. I for one would like to think that it is just a bunch of college students trying to stir things up and not realizing the effect that their words will have on these people’s lives. I want to think that because that is less upsetting to me then to think what is being said is actually anywhere near true.
 
And ending on a lighter note, M.I.A. is denying that she named her new baby “Ickett”, as had been reported. At this time she has not released the baby’s name. Well let’s thank our lucky stars for that good news.
