Is Bravo High?

Somehow the star of "Showgirls" landed a gig hosting a dancing show ... did they not see that train wreck of a movie?!
Elizabeth Berkley: Click to launch
Elizabeth Berkley -- who's proved her acting chops on "CSI" and "Saved by the Bell" -- will host Bravo's Step Up, So You Think You Can Dance "Step It Up & Dance."

It gets better: a press release for the show actually mentions the words "critically acclaimed" and "Showgirls" in the same sentence.

31. Does anyone remember when Bravo used to show quality programming, such as shows about the arts, instead of showing any old cr@p?

33. To TMZ and the laziest bunch of Wikipedia sourcing tools- Either put down the pipe or go buy one and make use of it. Months and months pass and the "journalism" continues to leak out of your staff, as well as the creativity and apparently the ability to to judge when sarcasm is approproate, as well as HOW to use it.

Everyone who has ever seen Showgirls knows it was horrid- but most agree that the appeal is how bad it was. So mocking a television outlet for trying to put a positive spin when advertising an upcoming show is inane to start with. A+ to Captain Obvious for that. Secondly, while Im no Berkley super fan, the woman has a longer list of credits than what your sloth-ridden writer provided and had the "writer" actually looked into her career as an actress and performer, they'd know that she isnt some B-list shlub with no talent. She is a solid actress, she has background in dance and not just from Showgirls.

Id like to say that this is some over sight but based on the past few weeks of stretching a lot of truth, lame jokes, incindiery headlines for weak stories, and on over all weak writing ability, this article is no surpise, which is sad given that this was the same site that brought to light the Mel Gibson drunken tirade and the ensuing cover up by some law enforcement officials. I get that you guys are trying to constantly get fresh dirt and entertain. But seriously- qulaity far out weighs quantity, especially when you have journalists who actually know what theyre talking about.

34. She isnt as Bad as some of the other Actresses..Why does TMZ do stories on people they Criticize and loathe??? This site is a Bashing Website..They make fun of all these People and YET, RUN after them with cameras..JEALOUSY maybe?? Why bother if Some Actress is so awful and not talented??Have you seen TMZ s reporters?? They are not Beautiful, Talented and Perfect...They make money off people they despise. How meaningless is that...

35. I remember Showgirls. Elizabeth Berkley talked like she always had a corn cob stuck up her ass. Over the top and lame!

36. Ah yes, her big role in Any Given Sunday. She played a hooker and was in two 30 second scenes - in one of them she was naked. What a talented actress!
