New season, new contestants, same old outfit.
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.

*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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Katrina wore J. Hough yellow fringed outfit on the Emmy's and again on Monday night. On Tuesday night she wore the same black outfit she wore last year. What's up with the shows budget?
