When You Say the Very Wrong Thing

The incident was so awkward that Kristi’s people had to release this statement:

Yamaguchi’s rep has issued the following statement to E!, “Kristi loves Nancy and has nothing but respect for her. No ill will was intended with the tweet and Nancy herself has received and commented on the well wishes that were sent. Kristi is finding the reactions on social media humorous but unfortunately for those who want it to have been shady, that’s not the case.”

Wow, face palm.

Jessie Spano Makes An Appearance On Dancing With the Stars

Sometimes there are episodes in our favorite series that we never ever forget. And who could forget that freak out by Jessie Spano in Saved by the Bell when she was addicted to caffeine pills?! It has been years, but I can still remember it so clearly. On this week’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, Elizabeth Berkley recreated that infamous scene into her dance routine.

Bill Nye’s Final Performance

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGrZKQL2FBg#t=14]

It was the start to a bad week when we learned that Bill Nye had gotten the boot off of Dancing with the Stars. His robotic performance of “Get Lucky” was less than impressive, but at least he stayed true to who he actually was. A true science geek. It’s cool – Bill, you didn’t really want to be on this show anyways and the people that watch this show aren’t interested in science. Regardless, I was a proud Seattlelite when I heard he was coming onto this show.

Dancing With The Stars Cast Revealed

Now normally this is not a post I would care to write about, but the cast this season is amazing due in large part to one person. BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY. Honestly, I’ve never watched a season, but Bill Nye was my hero growing up – not to mention he was an icon in Seattle so naturally, I want him to dominate this dancing reality show. There are some other interesting people on the lineup as well, but let’s be real, the only person you need to be rooting for is the guy that supports science.

-Elizabeth Berkley (“Saved by the Bell,” “Showgirls”) — paired with Val Chmerkovskiy.

-Corbin Bleu (“High School Musical”) — paired with Karina Smirnoff.

-Brian Daugherty (“Pretty Little Liars”) — paired with Peta Murgatroyd.

-Bill Engvall (comedian) — paired with Emma Slater.

-Valerie Harper (“The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Rhoda”) — Tristan MacManus.

-Keyshawn Johnson (former NFL player) — paired with Sharna Burgess.

-Christina Milian (singer/”The Voice” personality) — paired with Mark Ballas.

-Bill Nye (“Bill Nye the Science Guy”) — paired with Tyne Stecklein.

-Jack Osbourne (son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne) — paired with Cheryl Burke.

-Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (“Jersey Shore,” “Snooki & JWoww”) — paired with Sasha Farber.

-Leah Remini (“The King of Queens”) — paired with Tony Dovolani.

-Amber Riley (“Glee”) — paired with Derek Hough.

But while we’re on the topic of the cast, can we talk about a couple of things?

Look at Elizabeth Berkley’s eyes in this photograph! She’s got that “I’m so excited! I’m so scared!” look down. #throwback

Also Noel Khan, we see you. We wish you’d reprise your role as one of the “A” characters on Pretty Little Liars though. Where did you go?

Amber Riley, is this an unfair advantage? You were on a show where you sung and danced on every episode. If you don’t win, we might be slightly concerned.
