Um, is 6,000 people really a lot of people??? I've got 980 Facebook friends, and I'm not even a celebrity.

I was thinking the same thing. I have almost 1,000 friends. Does that qualify me to grind Julianne Hough?

If so...Someone please contact me.

Julianne Hough isn't on the show anymore. She's "singing."

I was talking more about the NY Post article and her saying DWTS had contacted her than about the friends.

For a soap star who isn't on a soap at the moment that's pretty good

The Colleen Zenk thing is very interesting. She's one of my favorites, but was never a big marquee name as far as soaps go. I wonder how well she'd do if she DID get cast. Would enough people know about her to make her somewhat successful? Would certainly be an odd choice of soap star for this show.

DWTS returns March 21. No Derek next season.

Cast will be announced during The Bachelor on Monday February 28th.

I'm relieved for the break from Derek. I just hope this doesn't mean that annoying showboat Julianne will be back.

I wonder if Derek might end up going over to X Factor if his pal Cheryl Cole is involved.

I hope Julianne returns. She was always one of my favorites. I hope Cheryl Burke goes away. Im sick of her

Julianne just danced by herself anyway - I wonder if that's why she has moved away from ballroom.

These days the amount of pros I'd rather not see is higher than those I want to see. I mostly just want to see Kym, Jonathan (with a decent partner!), and Anna T.

I t hink Derek is gone because he has already won too many times.

Derek won't be on this season because he's filming a new 3D dance movie and wants to concentrate on that. He said he will be back for the following season though (13).
