'Dancing' with Recycled Dresses

New season, new contestants, same old outfit.

'Dancing' with Recycled Dresses
Swimmer Natalie Coughlin was given the same frilly blue dress for her web promo that gymnast Shawn Johnson wore on the show last year -- giving the lovely ladies something else in common other than the 2008 Olympics.

The dress could turn out to be good or bad luck: Johnson won "Dancing" last year ... but she also gained an alleged stalker.

2. *Daisy the dog has been recycled into dung beetle food.
*Anyone who actually believes in the "carbon footprint" theory of climate change must, firstly, cease breathing.

3. Yes, Karina Smirnoff stole Yulia Zagoryuchenko alfit. Hardly original.

6. You can only tell it is the same style, it isn't the same color or dress.. Another stupid accusation from TMZ.

7. Not the same dress, these women are built very differently- same style, same color maybe, but not the same dress.

10. Sorry TMZ, these two ladies are not the same size. If its the same dress it would have needed some serious alterations so why bother? just make a new dress

11. That's what I call:

"Put a wig on a pig, and watch her gig"

I could take both of these hillbillies to FRESNO and make a lot of cash. Boy, they sure got a pretty mouth. LOL.

13. And one of the female pro also dressed Shawn's cha-cha-cha outfit in the female pro group dance of night 2 premiere.

14. Most women waste money on dresses and only wear them once. It seems like a sin to spend a lot and then ditch it for a new dress. There are people that live on less money than some of these gowns cost. One of the NY Housewives (JiLL) spent $16,000 on a pocket book. They earned the money but it seems like a shame and a sin to waste that much money. She said she was helping the economy (and it is her money) but only the designer and the store made any profit. If he sells bags at these high prices, he isn't in need of economic help.

15. new season, new contestants, same boredom.

this is a stupid show where an idiot is supposed to think their fave celeb can really dance.

You too could dance if you had free private lessons and was payed to practice.
