Donna D'Errico to Climb Mount Ararat in Search of Noah's Ark
By David Moye - AOL NewsFormer "Baywatch" star Donna D'Errico has enjoyed a pretty amazing career arc. But the 42-year-old actress, who recently turned down a spot on "Dancing With the Stars," is now focusing on Noah's ark. D'Errico, 42, is in training to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing Mount Ararat in Turkey to search for the frozen remains of Noah's ark. According to Biblical legend, the ark was built centuries ago to protect Noah's family and two of every kind of animal during a flood lasting 40 days and 40 nights. After the great flood, the ark supposedly landed atop the mountain. Many believers have ...
Buzz Aldrin Gets the Boot on 'Dancing With the Stars'
By not in system - AOL NewsLOS ANGELES (April 6) - Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon, but he won't be spending any more time on the dance floor. The 80-year-old astronaut was eliminated Tuesday from "Dancing With the Stars." Aldrin and his professional partner, Ashly Costa, consistently finished in last place during the ABC show's three weeks of competition. He earned just 13 points out of 30 for his waltz on Monday's episode. Still, Costa told him "I'm proud of you" after the couple learned their fate. Aldrin said he surprised himself by appearing on the hit ABC show. "I never thought I'd walk on the moon, but I ...

Can the BBC Survive? Broadcaster Alters Its Voice in the Digital Age
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyAs America recovers from its agonizing scrimmage over health care, the United Kingdom is embroiled in its own version of a national identity crisis: Where does Britain's publicly financed, bellwether broadcaster -- the BBC -- fit in a competitive, digital age? Most Americans have at least a passing familiarity with the British Broadcasting Corp. They've heard those erudite-sounding British voices offering news from far away places like Sri Lanka on National Public Radio. Or they've watched some of the BBC's most popular television exports, including such comedies as "The Office" or the ...
Tom DeLay to Two-Step on 'Dancing With the Stars' Finale
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyTom DeLay will be dancing the Texas Two-Step with Cheryl Burke on the season finale of "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday night.

Now fully healed, the former House majority leader is back in Los Angeles to dance on Tuesday's results show on ABC at 9 p.m. EST. "I'm so excited to dance," Delay happily told me on the phone during rehearsals with Burke. ". . . I'm much more comfortable now that I'm not competing." While the other former candidates will do ...
Tom DeLay Drops Out of 'Dancing With the Stars' Due to Injury
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyViewers of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" were shocked Tuesday night when Tom DeLay announced that because of stress fractures in both feet, he was leaving the show. Earlier, DeLay and his professional dance partner, Cheryl Burke, looked stunned to hear that their samba the previous night, on his injured feet, had garnered enough viewer votes to make them "safe" to go to the next round. DeLay told me in an interview before the show's premiere that despite the pre-stress fracture in one foot, "I'll dance until the bone breaks." In the past week, the pre-stress fracture was diagnosed as a ...

I think I am ready. Four days to learn the tango but I at least know the ...
Tom DeLay's Not the Only One Dancing
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyIf Tom DeLay can do it . . . Whatever you think about the former Texas congressman, you've got to give him credit for shimmying on the nationally televised stage -- in a ruffled shirt -- on "Dancing With the Stars," as my colleague Emily Miller reports. In my birthday month, I've discovered one very nice thing about getting older. You're long past worrying about what people might think, so you're open to new experiences. At a certain point, sucking in your gut becomes futile. Don't worry about slipping up or down; no one is looking. When the North Carolina Dance Theatre announced a free ...
Dancing Tom DeLay on Infighting in the 'Leaderless' GOP: 'Even Rush and Hannity Are Doing It'
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyLOS ANGELES -- Walking out of a restaurant in Los Angeles last week, the former House Majority Leader was stopped by a stranger. "Aren't you Tom DeLay?" the man asked. "Yes, I am." "I am so glad you are out of politics," the man crowed. "Well, so am I," he replied; who says common ground is hard to find? ...
Why 'Mad Men' Beats 'Dancing With the Stars'
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyWhile switching from the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night to catch the latest episode of "Mad Men" (more on that elsewhere in WomanUp), I finally conceded reluctantly that the new kid on the block -- the entertainment concept Americans have referred to as "reality TV," which we stole nine years ago from the Swedes -- is on our not-so-small-screen to stay. ...
