Donny Osmond Announces His Competitive Side-On Dancing With The Stars!

      Donny and Marie Osmond were taping a show with comedian Bonnie Hunt when she asked him if he ever considered following Marie on Dancing With The Stars.  Donny grinned and said that he was seriously considering it and then he said, I guess I let the cat out of the bag.  That sounds like a confirmation to me…although, I dont think the contestants have been formally announced for this upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.

        I dont know how ABC will feel about the premature announcement…but if it is true that he will be on Dancing With The Stars…then I think it will be a fun season.  Remember that Donny sort of did some impromptu interviews behind the scenes when Marie was on. 

        Marie is famous for her witty sense of humor and her ability to razz her brother…all with the trademark Osmond grin.  It will be fun to watch that competitive nature come out between brother and sister.   Not to mention, it gets me wondering who else will be competing against Donny.   Also, wonder who will be Donny’s dancing partner…which pro?  Julianne Hough won’t be back this season last that I heard…so it will be interesting to see this season’s premiere.  Best of Luck Donny ( I am sure Marie will say that you are going to need it!  >wink< >wink<)

Update:  Donny has c0rrected the impression that he gave that he would be on the upcoming season.  He says, he plans or is shooting to be on the fall season of DWTS.

Marie Osmond

        It was announced today, that Marie Osmond will be doing a new talk show.  She said that she would like it to be for women.  I think she stated that she wanted it to revolve around women and women’s issues; presented in a way, as if girlfriends were talking.

         I think that she will do a great job at that kind of a program.  I am glad that it will show case Marie.  She has been though alot in the last few years and i think that she could contribute alot to some of those issues by speaking from her experiences.  As long as Marie doesn’t fall too often into her defense mechanism of distracting by being at times a class clown…even though i do love her sense of humor.  There are times when it takes away from important things.

           She has gone through post partum depression, loss of parents, a divorce, having a child enter a rehab, she’s gone though personal tragedy of a fire in her home and the list goes on.  She is an adoptive parent and a birth parent.  These are issues that affect alot of her potential viewership.

        There was no mention of which network would be carrying the program.  I hope it is ABC.

Respect for the father

      Today’s news of the passing away of George Osmond, father of the Osmond brothers and their sister Marie made me sad.  Growing up through the 70’s and 80’s i feel sort of bonded to the Osmond family.  I watched them over those years and always felt somewhat invested in their lives.  What girl growing up at that time…didn’t have a crush on Donnie.  And Marie, was and is a beautiful girl.
