Dancing with the Stars… best season yet?
The anticipatory buzz is growing around the new season of "Dancing with the Stars"… so much so that executive producer Conrad Greene detailed to People magazine exactly what’s up with the selection process!
Heather Mills: "We thought it would be interesting to have someone with a disability on because we wanted to prove that dancing is something anyone can do. She really wants to prove to people that a disability doesn’t hamper you in any way."
• Billy Ray Cyrus: Was "terrified" about joining the show. "He said, ‘You don’t understand. I can hardly do the achy-breaky dance, let alone a whole routine.’ (But) I think he’s going to really apply himself," says Greene.
• Leeza Gibbons: "I think for her turning 50, she wants to be opening new chapters – not closing them. I think there will be a lot of women around the country who will really associate with her and what she’s doing."
• Joey Fatone: Ballroom dancing is something new for Fatone, 30. "He says he hasn’t got a clue how good he’s going to be," says Greene. "He’s never done anything like this."
• Laila Ali: "The challenge for her will be being light enough on your feet," says Greene. "She’s had to bulk up, get muscular in order to box. So it’s going to be getting the grace."

My wife and I are now beginning the countdown until the 2008 season of Dancing With The Stars begins and with less than a month to go we are both really excited.
