I suppose if you want to be cynical, you could say that
Mayim Bialik is in the midst of a comeback, with several recent television roles, including guest stints on
Bones,
Secret Life of the American Teenager, and now,
Saving Grace. However, it's not as though the erstwhile star of
Blossom has spent the last fifteen years sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. After the series' end, she attended UCLA, got married, had two children, and even earned her PhD last year.
Ms. (er, Dr.) Bialik has indeed been busy, but she is now looking to make her way back into Hollywood. She's guest-starring on
Saving Grace tonight as Esther, a Hasidic Jewish mother of seven, whose own mother is found murdered in a field full of dead cows. I spoke with Mayim about
Saving Grace, the lasting legacy of
Blossom, and how she hopes people see her today.

Should
Blossom be considered classic sitcom? Mmmprobably not. But to many a 20-something, the
NBC sitcom was an unlikely success that, through a blend of irreverence and quirkiness, lasted five seasons and proved culturally resonant in its approach to covering "realistic topics" relevant to teenagers of the nineties.

TLC has a new competition series called Master of Dance (worst title ever). The show will test dancers' skills by changing the song mid-performance to measure the breadth of their repertoire and the level of their creativity. This sounds a little too much like
Freezedance but for prize money. The grand prise is $50,000 to be exact.
Joey Lawrence will host and there will be three judges: Lucinda Dickey (
Solid Gold,
Breakin'), Tyce Diorio (choreographer on
So You Think You Can Dance), and Loni Love (comedienne voted one of Comedy Central's Top 20 Comics to Watch in 2008).

Our pals over at AOL have a list up of those celebrities that have seen a boost to their
careers after appearing on Dancing With The Stars. Head over there to see what John, Tatum, Stacy, and eight others are up to.
A gig on a show that counts itself as two of the top ten most watched programs every week certainly offers ample opportunities. But, like KISS said, there are two sides of the coin to choose from. So... after the jump, a look at those celebrities that have been somewhat less successful after their time in the ballroom.

HarperCollins, ABC, and BBC Worldwide are getting together to create a book you've all been waiting for: a fitness guide based on the hit show Dancing with the Stars.
According to the press release, the book "will reveal for the first time how some of the stars and dancers got into the best shape of their lives. Included will be healthy recipes and simple dance moves as well as never before seen pictures and quotes from the stars and their partners."
Yeah, because I've always wondered how Tucker Carlson stays in such great shape.

Dancing with the Stars is getting a roadshow. Celebrities paired with real dancers will tour 38 U.S. cities, starting with San Diego on Dec. 19th. Celebrity contestants include Drew Lachey, Joey Lawrence, Willa Ford, Harry Hamlin (what?!?), Lisa Rinna and Joey McIntyre.
Why would anyone want to see this live? Absent-mindedly watching this on a Tuesday night is one thing... but actually paying cash to see mediocre dancers?
American Idol does the same thing-- it sends mediocre singers on an American tour each year. I think the difference is the demogaphics.
Would you pay to watch
Dancing with the Stars if they visited your town?

Because people will bet on anything, the odds for ABC's
Dancing with the Stars favor Mario Lopez for the win. Right now he's a 3-1 favorite, according to
PinnacleSports.com. All he has going for him is, a long damn time ago, Lopez once danced and played drums on Disney's
Kids Incorporated (
two references in one week??). Just looking at
the photos of the contestants, Lopez actually looks like he belongs while the others look awkward (especially
Tucker Carlson).
The second and third favored are
High School Musical star Monique Coleman with 9-2 and bald Joey Lawrence with 6-1 odds. Least likely to win, according to the odds, is Jerry Springer, followed by Shanna Moakler, Willa Ford and Sara Evans.
Dancing with the Stars debuts tonight at 8 pm.

The future of America hinges on whether a Democrat or a Republican wins
Dancing with the Stars! At least, that's what Tom DeLay will have his supporters believe. The Texas Congressman is actually on a mission to sway the vote in favor of one particular
Dancing with the Stars contestant. According to
this blogger, he sent a letter to his supporters encouraging them to call in and vote for country singer Sara Evans. Evidently she leans a little to the right. In his letter to supporters, DeLay said Evans "represents American values in the media." He also calls out fellow contestant Jerry Springer, calling him an "ultra liberal talk show host". So... what does it mean if Joe
y Lawrence wins?
Dancing with the Stars premieres on Tuesday, September 12th.

The big news on
Good Morning America this morning wasn't about the UK terror plot or the cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah. The big news was... drumroll please...
the announcement of the new cast of
Dancing with the Stars!
Thaaat's right, kiddies... the new group of has-beens, never-wases and out-of-place sports legends is now set to strut their stuff on the dance floor this fall, and this group is a doozy. We already knew that MSNBC's
Tucker Carlson is participating, and there had been
rumors that soon-to-be Hall of Fame running back Emmit Smith was going to be there, so those two aren't a big surprise. But we also get to see Jerry Springer, Joey ("Whoa!") Lawrence, Vivica A. Fox, Harry Hamlin (probably glomming on wife Lisa Rinna's success last year), Willa Ford, Monique Coleman of
High School Musical, Sara Evans, Mario Lopez, and model and
ex-Mrs. Barker Shanna Moakler (probably in the spot that was reserved for Beth Ostrosky).
Looks like it's going to be an interesting season. Maybe Emmit Smith will surprise everyone and win it all. Cowboy fans must be hiding their heads in their hats right now.
