      Well, ABC television is doing a slow tease.  They have promised to announce who the new contestants will be on Dances With The Stars tonight.  However, they are going to announce the contenders all throughout tonights programming of it prime time shows.   Ugg…I understand building up a buzz for something to generate more of an interest…but geez…nothing like dragging it out.  I personally dont like a show or two on their sunday night prime time and dont want to watch garbage to get the announcements.  It is a little frustrating to me.    What do you think about this method of revealing who will be dancing on this season?  Well, we do know that Donny Osmond wont be one of them since he mispoke when he said he was going to be on it…but it will be in the Fall season.

Update on contestants for this season:  Ty Murray- 7 time Rodeo Champ and real life husband of singer Jewel; who will also be a contestant.  I wonder who their pro dancers will be?  Comedic actor David Alan Grier; Steve Wozniak-businessman , co-founder of  Apple computers; Chuck Wicks-country music singer and boyfriend of Julianne Hough (who said previously that she wouldn’t be on this season…so who knows?; Gilles Marini-actor; Steve O-stuntman famous for the show “Jackass”…not to crazy about this choice…seems a bit controversial and possibly not family oriented for this DWTS show; Lawrence Taylor-football  hall of famer; Belinda Carlisle- singer of the famous 80’s girl band The Go-Gos; Denise Richards-actress and ex-wife of Charlie Sheen; Shawn Johnson- Olympic gymnist; Little Kim-female rapper; Nancy O’Dell- actress and host of “Access Hollywood”.

       Breaking news of a horrific nature…Australia has been experiencing some terrible fires, overnight, that has caused major damage to some towns and at least 84 deaths.  Although that number may continue to climb as they gain control of the brush fires.   There are many who were hospitalized with burns and some of them may yet lose their lives because of their injuries.  This is the deadliest wildfire that Australia has ever had.  The areas that have been the most impacted were in the southeastern area of Australia; as well as  towns about 50 miles north and east of the capital, Melbourne.

         People have lost their homes, their livelihoods in some cases and many have lost their loved ones or their own lives.  Some people were killed in the fires as they tried to escape in their vehicles.  This is horrible; it is suspected that some of these fires were deliberately set.   If that is true; it is a crime, the murders of innocent people are on the hands of those who set these fires.  It is unfathamable why anyone would wish to do such harm.  The firefighters are bravely trying to fight the fires, which may take days to control.  I pray that God help the Australians by bringing some rain and helping the firefighters to gain control and help the people of Australia as they cope with their losses.
