Dancing with the Stars updates
Two important points of information about Dancing with the Stars:
1) There are now limits on how many hours couples can practice as a way to try to stop the contestants from getting injured, which I think is a very important move, though I'm not sure limiting the hours they work will help much.
2) The season nine cast will be revealed Monday! Who do you want to be on the show?

One dance show ends and another begins
So only a few days after the summer dance show So You Think You Can Dance named its winner, another equally as popular dance show America's Best Dance Crew premiered. I know I am a few days late in posting, but I completely forgot it was starting its season so early. Anyway, in the season four premiere that originally aired Sunday night, we saw nine new crews show us their stuff. Here are some highlights and other tidbits I would like to point out.
When I watch ABDC I never listen to what the judges have to say: Lil Mama is so annoying to listen to, Shane tries too hard to act cool and JC rarely has anything constructive to say. Also, Mario is an awkward host. So, pretty much, what all this means is that I only watch this show for the dancing. That said, I am already impressed with a few of the crews. I am also impressed that the show is expanding the genres being performed. I like that there is a Latin crew on this year, but no matter what the breakers are always the best. My two favorites already are Rhythm City and Massive Monkees. They both performed cool tricks and were very entertaining.
Right off the bat a crew was sent home and the first casualty of the season was Fresh. I didn't think they were all that great and am not sad to see them leave. Let me know if you watched and what you thought. Who are your early favorites? Do you agree that the judges are so annoying? As always, I'd love to hear feedback.

OTH scoop - or, better put, nonanswer
I sometimes post parts of TvGuide's weekly scoop and this one has to do with One Tree Hill. I'm posting it here because I was also wondering the same thing.
Any word yet on how they're going to explain Lucas and Peyton's sudden absence from the coming season of One Tree Hill now that the actors aren't returning? It's killing me! — Samantha D.
ADAM: A show rep suggests that it will involve a bit of rebooting. "Obviously, we have new stories to tell, but at the same time, this season very much feels like classic One Tree Hill." How so? "Some characters might be in an episode for just one scene, but it's a scene that serves the story and the serialized nature of our season." Translation: They haven't figured it out yet.

Remember when Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was television gold?
According to this article, the special 11 episode run of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, which is on to commemorate the show's 10th anniversary, is not doing so hot in the ratings. While the original show was a must-watch, few people watched it this time around. Why do you think it was so popular the first time around yet is having trouble finding fans now? What has changed? Why did you watch in the past but tuned into something else Sunday night?
Paula Abdul drama
I have been kind of trying to stay away from all the Paula Abdul stuff, but I feel like now is the time to bring it up. Apparently, Fox offered her money, but she turned it down and announced, through Twitter, that she will be parting ways with American Idol. Everyone seemed shocked, which makes me think it is not real. Since auditions for next season have already started, Fox decided that each audition will include a guest judge - all of whom are female pop singers. So far there has been Victoria Beckham and Katy Perry. And while this covers things from the AI side, Paula has been shown an outpouring of love in the meantime. Every show seems to want her. From So You Think You Can Dance to Dancing with the Stars, they all know that loyal Paula fans will follow her anywhere. But for some reason this all just seems a little forced for me. I can't figure out exactly how this could help Idol ratings, but maybe this is all a ploy to prove how worthy Paula is? Who knows. What do you think? Is she really gone or are they pulling our string?
