Mollygood editor Whitney Little on homosexual entertainer Lance Bass' Dancing With The Stars debut:
…I can't imagine watching this ballroom competition on a regular basis for the next few months. The only thing keeping me around is the promise of future husband Lance Bass, who is also being wooed by his partner, So You Think You Can Dance alum Lacey Schwimmer. After dancing the cha cha, she confesses that she once believed Lance would marry her. Pshh, please.

This from a girl who thought Bass would marry her? Indeed!

» Lance Bass: Own Gay Dance Show?

Lance Bass is the first openly gay dancer on Dancing with the Stars, although he'll be dancing with a women. Dancing with boys on may be in his future though, "Another show with all guys dancing and all girls dancing, that's a different story. I think that's sexy." He then added, "I should pitch that." Can you imagine, Brent Corrigan dancing with Perez Hilton? Now that is something I'd watch.

Some gays are up in arms because Lance Bass won't have a male partner on this season's Dancing With The Stars. That's understandable. Bass is, after all, of the homo persuasion.

Though aware of the outrage, Dancing producers said same-sex partners simply aren't part of the show's purview.

USA Dance [which governs dancing competitions] doesn't have explicit rules against same-sex competitive couples…

"He happens to be gay, but that's not why he's on our show," [senior producer Deena] Katz explained. "We're not a dating show - although sometimes it ends up that way."

Bass' manager, Cindy Owen, said the network "never had the intention" of partnering her client with a man, adding "he's very excited to have Lacey [Schwimmer] as a partner."

Some people, like gay dancer Chuck Stewart, think ABC's simply scared of anxious advertisers.

We absolutely agree.


After months of speculation and nearly catastrophic anticipation, ABC today announced its latest Dancing With The Stars line-up. And, yes, homosexual pop star Lance Bass will be among the jitter bugs, which includes Kim Kardashian, celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito, some Olympians and others.

Those of you who wanted Bass to have a same-sex dance partner will be sorely disappointed: he's cha-chaing with a lady named Lacey Schwimmer.

See the entire list after the jump…

» Male Ready?

Lance Bass claimed last week that he won't be appearing on Dancing With The Stars, but that hasn't done anything to quell rumors - and speculation on whether the gay entertainer would have a male partner. Dancing dancer Cheryl Burke even took a stab at the million dollar question and concluded that Bass most likely wouldn't be two-stepping with another man: "I don't think that would happen. I don't think America is ready to watch two men dancing." Speak for yourself… [E!]

» Not Seeing Stars?

Paparazzi caught former boy bander Lance Bass coming out of a bar in Los Angeles last night. And, obviously having a bit of fun at Bass' expense, the shutter bugs called him "gorgeous" and said they hope he wins the Dancing With The Stars crown. Bass said, however, that he's not going to be on the show. He is, however, still gay. [TMZ]

» Heads Together…

"Lance Bass is locked and loaded for the next season of Dancing With the Stars, says an insider. But we hear network execs are already fretting over whether or not to pair the openly gay pop star with a male or female dance partner." [NYDN]

As purveyors of all things low-brow (hello, look where you are), you probably already know that Tucker Carlson has been given the boot from Dancing With The Stars.

We must admit, we're more than a little disappointed. We were hoping he'd at least last two weeks, but America has spoken and now Carlson is on the big dance floor in the sky. Our world just got a little darker.

After the jump, relive Carlson's singular dance and brutal judgements. Then, shed a tear and get over it. That's what Carlson would want.

We'd be lying if we said we didn't love Dancing With The Stars, the show where not so A-List stars flit about with professional dancers for the ultimate Hollywood title. Alright, maybe "ultimate" is a stretch, but whatever.

Last night marked the beginning of season three. For this go-round, we get a chance to see folk such as Vivica A. Fox, Jerry Springer, Joey Lawrence, and our boy Mario Lopez shake what their mama's gave them. While obviously we love Lopez, we're quite taken with football player Emmitt Smith (pictured with partner, Cheryl Burke). So big in the bod and so light on his feet. Swoon… While we've always had a guilty crush on conservative pundit, Tucker Carlson, we can't help but wag our finger at his red-faced, half-assed effort. Shame on you, Tucker!

We know our readers, and we know you watched, too. So, tell us, who are you cheering on? There's no shame…okay, well, maybe a little.

• We’re gay enough to be excited about tomorrow night’s season premiere of Dancing with the Stars. But after seeing pro dancer John Robert’s picture on the official site, we’re a little surprised his bio refers to a “wife.” [Dancing with the Stars Official Site]

• A British Muslim leader is calling gays and same-sex marriage “harmful.” We think prejudiced words like that are much more dangerous. [BBC]

• Poet Tory Dent passed away from AIDS-related complications in NYC. RIP. [Newsday]

• Motorola's new iRadio sounds pretty cool. We’ll just have to get one. [AP]

• Maine’s (New Englanders so love The Gays) new law outlaws any sort of discrimination when it comes to sexual orientation. Sounds like common sense to us, but only a few states have this sort of thing on the books. [Morning Sentinel]
