'Dancing's' Life Lessons
So, according to the "Dancing with the Stars" cast, the show is not cursed despite all the recent tragedy surrounding the show.
Before I get into why they bust down this theory, let's break it down again. Jennie Garth falls flat on her ass. Marie Osmond faints. Jane Seymour's mom dies. Jane's house is in danger of burning down. Sabrina Bryan gets kicked to the curb way early. Jane and four crew members get food poisoning. Jennifer Lopez's grandmother dies the day she pre-tapes her appearance. Gloria Estefan has to abruptly cancel her appearance when her mother is rushed to the hospital and undergoes surgery. Plus, my bizarre bird incident on the way to the studio.
Sure sounds like negative energy to me.
I put the question to some of the stars and dancers last night who either all go together and discussed it or just happen to have the same views. They pretty much all said the same thing. That what's happening here is a lesson for all its viewers that life goes on even after adversity.
Jane's partner, Tony Dovolani told me, "Dance and life are parallels. You got to deal with every adversity that comes at you. The unfortunate thing is it all happened I guess in our show but at the same time it just goes to show you that life continues. Life goes on and the dance must be danced."
Jane one hundred percent did not believe there was a curse, "This is a reality show let's remember that. I did not factor in having quite as much reality happening to me or drama as I, as we had to deal with. The great thing about it is I realized when we went out there on the dance floor as nervous as I was and for all the work we put into it, however traumatic my life was at that time, I could look in Tony's eyes and we could go out there for a minute and 30 seconds or whatever it is we could dance. So, I think the moral of the lesson is when times are tough, dance."
So, far Helio Castroneve hasn't been part of any negative energy and echoed this life lessons sentiment, "I think it's just misfortune. And it is proving a lesson, it is giving a lesson to everybody that is watching and that's the way I see it. I don't see the curse in the negative. I am looking to the positive side."
Still not convinced, I noticed that Lisa Williams a renowned psychic from Lifetime's "Life Among the Dead" was in the audience. I figured who better to ask about bad vibes and negative energy and tracked her down. She put my mind at ease, "I don't feel there is anything wrong in here. Talk to me around midnight maybe I might feel something but I don't feel there is any bad vibes. I personally feel people come together for a reason. I think it is probably fate that Jane has done remarkably well pulling through it and doing what she has done. Marie will do exactly the same, maybe Jane is role model for Marie."
So, it seems like all of this stuff was meant to happen.
The real curse on this show is the continued fumbling of Samantha Harris. In the name of all that is holy, can she not be shown the door?
