I don’t know who those last two people are and frankly, I don’t care. I’d handicap the field but my knowledge is limited to ogling Erin Andrews on ESPN, being a fan of Pam Anderson’s sex tape, and dreaming of being Mr. Pussycat Doll.

I would guess though that Andrews being a former member of the Florida Dance team has the advantage. Anderson is at an obvious disadvantage because the contest is held on your feet, not on the knees. Oh yea, and her boobs might get in the way.

Though the Dancing with the Stars lineup for 2010 hasn’t yet been announced, there are strong rumors that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocino will be part of the cast.

From TMZ:

Multiple sources tell TMZ the outspoken Cincinnati Bengal will be part of the cast of “Dancing with the Stars” this coming season.

Ochocinco joins a list of NFL stars who have done the show including Warren Sapp, Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice.

For what its worth, Ochocinco isn’t letting the cat out of the bag yet. He had this to say on his twitter
earlier this afternoon

Great people who follow me on twitter, don’t believe rumors unless OCNN reports, OCNN NEWS- where the news is given n child please fashion

Assuming TMZ is correct with their sources, this should be extremely interesting. Ochocinco has always had a big following online and seems to share information at will with his twitter followers.

So at the very least, he’ll have support from that community when voting takes place. Aside from that though, we’re more concerned with the women who will be on the show. Because as much as we like Ochocinco, him prancing around doing the Tango isn’t why we’ll tune in. Julianne Hough on the other hand; um, yes please.

The reality show’s regularly scheduled episode will be pre-empted by a one-hour “special” Monday night, according to a TLC promotional spot released Thursday.

“Recently, we’ve made some life-changing decisions, decisions that will affect every member of our family, ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace,” Kate Gosselin says in the video promo.

As she speaks, these words cross the screen:

“A family in turmoil … A relationship at a crossroads … Where do they go from here?”

Description from WWTDD:

Here we see Plus 8 chasing fireflies and playing kick the can. Oh wait no they’re in a television studio so Kate can use them as props while she does an interview. While they wait, Mady says she’s thirsty. Kate ignores her. Mady says it again. Kate asks for a bottle of water, then takes a sip herself, then puts it away. Mady is, at best, three inches away when this happens. Mady says, “You’re really really mean, you drank it right in front of my face.” And Kate says, “Be quiet.” Then, FOR THE SECOND GOD DAMN TIME, Kate pretends as if she’s going to give a sip of water to adorable little girl, but then doesn’t.

That is straight up heartless. If I saw a child on the street and they were thirsty, I’d probably give them some water assuming they weren’t a different skin tone because come on, this isn’t charity. But this Kate won’t even give her own kids some water when we has a bottle full of it right there. Do you realize how crapty of a mom you have to be for your 7 year-old daughter to understand how much of a bitch you are? Kids aren’t really known for their perceptive abilities. You could crap on a child’s hamburgers every day for a month and they’d just stare at you and giggle then ask when Spongebob is coming on.

She’s deploying her children as though they were slaves! But then acting like she just did it for an adorable TV bit. That’s SO CLEVER. In my apartment, I’m forced to lug around objects and pour my own beverages but meanwhile this woman who has no job just makes her little kids wait on her. Sure, right now it’s lugging gallons of juice, but soon it’ll be adorable trips to rake the leaves or cute adventures in soldering together a table. Oh and the very special vacation episode in which Kate goes to the Bahamas while the kids build and varnish a patio. Then again, based upon half the ethnicity of the children, White Devil Kate may just want a railroad built. It’s genius, I tell you. Genius!

Regarding the adultery though, who cares? Kate needs an, ahem, larger gentleman to fill her stretched out love cave. And Jon needs to get some side trim after Kate’s cooch has been ravaged like that tauntaun that Luke Skywalker slept inside in Star Wars. So hey, let them both roam.
