Chaz Bono DWTS Pick Sparks Dialogue on Transgenders

ABC message board lights up with critics, defenders

(NEWSER) - If ABC wanted to generate buzz with the announcement of the new Dancing With the Stars cast , then it looks the selection of Chaz Bono was a wise choice.

Conservative Plot Eyed in Bristol's Dancing Survival

GOP support may be compensating for subpar dancing

(NEWSER) - Bristol Palin's consistent victories on Dancing With the Stars despite some less-than-stellar performances causes Benjy Sarlin at the Daily Beast to wonder: "Is a right-wing conspiracy afoot, designed to keep Sarah's daughter on prime time?" Bristol has consistently beaten celebrities with higher marks than her, Sarlin notes, suspecting that supporters from the publicity-hungry Sarah Palin camp have been skewing the results. More»
