"dancing with the stars"

The new cast for next season's "Dancing With the Stars" was introduced during last night's "Bachelor Pad," and they pretty much match up with the rumors that have been floating around the past few weeks:

The six women signing on for some serious dance lessons include Brandy, Florence Henderson, Jennifer Grey, Bristol Palin, Margaret Cho and Audrina Patridge.

The men are Michael Bolton, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, David Hasselhoff, NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, and Disney channel's Kyle Massey and Rick Fox.

Bristol Palin says her mom, Sarah, is "excited" for her and knows the show will be a lot of hard work, "but she is excited for me." The premiere is Sept. 20th. http://bit.ly/bVXTDH

"troy polamalu"

Troy Polamalu, who plays for the Steelers, has the most expensive hair in the NFL. Lloyds of London insured his hair for $1 million as part of his sponsorship deal with Head & Shoulders. "This reinforces that my full and thick hair is unstoppable," he said. http://bit.ly/ddcLea

What's the first sign you need to stop and run from the guy you're dating?

There's a new book written by a dad from stacks of notes he planned to give to his daughters when they grew up. The notes have been turned into a book called "Women Have All the Power, Too Bad They Don't Know It," by Michael Lockwood and it's a wake up call to woman who make mistakes in the dating world.

Here are his "10 red flags and other dating secrets women must know" --

1. If your man is living in his mother’s house for more than a couple of months — I give a small grace period — RED FLAG.

2. If he drives an expensive car, but rents an apartment — RED FLAG.

3. If he overaccessorizes — RED FLAG.

4. If your man wears more than one ring per hand, more than one bracelet per wrist, and more than one necklace per neck — RED FLAG.

5. If he is always the one who’s overdressed for the occasion — RED FLAG.

6. If your man is constantly spending money on you without regard to price (i.e., clothes, trips, jewelry) and he can’t afford it — RED FLAG.

7. If your man constantly asks to “hold” some money or expect you to pay while on dates — RED FLAG.

8. If he approaches you with a flattering, yet rehearsed line — RED FLAG.

9. If he says he has a job but can’t articulate exactly what it is he does for a living— RED FLAG.

10. If he talks himself than more about he inquires about you — RED FLAG.

How old should kids be before playing "adult sports"?

On Sunday, a 13-year old became the youngest ever to die at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway after he fell off his motorcycle and was run over by a 12-year old. This happened during a warm-up lap for the U.S. Grand Prix Racers Union. Should kids be racing motorcycles? Should kids be sailing boats around the world alone? Listen to what kid's, or young teens, have done over the past month:

• 13-year-old Jordan Romero became the youngest climber to summit Mount Everest;

• 16-year-old Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail around the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted;

• 14-year-old Laura Dekker from the Netherlands is currently at sea trying to top Watson's record.

Where do you fall on this? Are some young people more physically and mentally mature than others, or are parents pushing too hard? http://yhoo.it/bmITNO

CELEBRITY TWEETS

Yesterday all the celebrity shows were deciding who won and lost the best-dressed battle at the Emmy's Sunday night. More than a few agree that Mad Men's Christina Hendricks turned a few heads -- in a good way. Celeb Stylist Jessica Paster told USA Today that her dress was "made for her." Of course, I don't think anyone else could fill that dress out... take a looksie http://bit.ly/a80gTT
Speaking of -- it looks like an Emmy win for NBC Sunday night. The show was watched by almost 12 million, enough to win the night but still a million behind last year's viewership on CBS.
Fantasia Barrino hopped on a Las Vegas stage Friday night and belted out four songs. "They thought I was finished, they thought I was done...I would never ever stop, I don't care what no one says," she told the crowd. Of course, this comes three weeks after she tried to commit suicide. http://bit.ly/aJiGGc
Tiger Woods has a new bachelor pad. He moved into a new apartment in downtown Manhattan over the weekend, according to UsMagazine.com. http://bit.ly/d1FvaQ
Looks like Jesse James has a girlfriend. She's Kat Von D and photos of the two hand-in-hand walking through Fredericksburg, TX, are popping up all over the Internet. James and his three kids recently moved close to his ex-wife Sandra Bullock in nearby Austin. http://bit.ly/9kQP7Z
Paris Hilton was charged yesterday with felony possession of a controlled substance after an incident in Vegas Friday night. She was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession after the vehicle she was riding in was pulled over by police. She was embarrassed as crowds started to gather so she asked police to escort her into the Wynn hotel to use the bathroom. As she reached into her purse to grab some lip balm, a bag of what looked like cocaine fell out. Oops. She'll be arraigned Oct. 27th in Clark Co. District Court. Get ready for a media zoo! http://bit.ly/anzcfl

JOKE OF THE DAY

A man hasn't been feeling well, so he goes to his doctor for a complete checkup. Afterward the doctor comes out with the results. "I'm afraid I have some very bad news," the doctor says: "You're dying, and you don't have much time left."

"Oh, that's terrible!" says the man: "How long have I got?"

"You have 10," the doctor says sadly.

"What do you mean, 10?" the man asks: "10 what? Months? Weeks? What?!"

"Nine, eight...."

SURF THIS!

Hurricane Earl is gaining strength. The cat 4 storm is threatening the East Coast in the next few days. Won't be a direct hit, but annoying enough to make residents stay inside and draw the shades. Kind of like when you see the guy selling magazines walking down the street... http://yhoo.it/cFH5ya
There's a fight over how many people actually showed up to the Glenn Beck rally over the weekend in Washington D.C. Beck says 500-thousand, but CBS estimated 87,000. You want the truth? Just ask a woman...but be ready for the truth! http://yhoo.it/aFYc97
More kids are going to the ER for concussions in recent years. Experts are blaming the increased intensity of kids' sports. There might be something to it -- I was hurt just the other day when my buddy hit me in the head with his Play Station 3 controller. http://yhoo.it/abRwLI
