'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
Loose lips? Swiveling hips? Donny's Dancing with the Stars

There seems to be an epidemic of blabbermouthing going around these days. First, Vice President Joe Biden's wife Jill lets it slip on Oprah that Joe had his choice of VP or Secretary of State (snap Hillary!), then Steve Martin reveals that he and Tina Fey will be presenting together at the Oscars (so much for secret presenters), now Donny's let the cat out of the bag. While taping The Bonnie Hunt Show, Donny Osmond announced that he's doing Dancing With the Stars, the new edition that commences in March.
Oops! See, it wasn't Donny's job to make the announcement. He was supposed to let ABC decide the right time to reveal the lineup of celebrity dancers, although whether they can dance before the show begins is debatable.
If you ask me, Donny Osmond will probably be a very good contestant. Better than Marie was. And I don't think he's going to be fainting before the judges at any point. In Donny's defense, he didn't mean to blab, but when he tried to back track and say he was only considering the gig, he did talk about how he would be doing his Las Vegas show at the same time as DWTS was taping.
A little leaking for DWTS is not really a bad thing. Warren Sapp had said repeatedly before his turn that he was going to do the show. Not everyone -- including me -- believed it. Well, Sapp proved me wrong and, in fact, was one of the best contestants. I thought he should have won.
