Quote of the Day: Patrick Swayze’s Widow on DWTS’ Jennifer Grey
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, Video,
“A friend asked me if I thought Jennifer was being sincere, and I said absolutely. I thought she was sincere. There’s got to be some part of her that knows it will help her chances a little bit. But does that cancel out whether she really does care? No, it doesn’t. I think her feelings are very true and at the same time, I think she’s going to win!”
-Patrick Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi, commenting about Jennifer Grey‘s emotional moment—and future—on Dancing with the Stars.

Dancing with the Stars to Honor Patrick Swayze
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Next week’s three-day premiere of Dancing with the Stars will include a tribute to one of their early contributors. On Wednesday, the program will take time out to honor Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze.
Back in 2005, the actor/dancer made a brief appearance on the freshman series as a coach for John O’Hurley. He also sat in the audience during the Season 1 finale to support his friend.
“He was one of the few people to integrate dance with being an A-list actor,” executive producer Conrad Green said. “He inspired many people and many of our pros to dance. We want to honor the great moments he’s brought to film by getting our dancers to do their interpretation to some music from his films.”
DWTS’ ninth season begins Monday, September 21 @ 8:00.

- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): Series return. “The fate of Detective Sanchez, who was shot three times and airlifted to a hospital, is revealed.” I don’t know how Sanchez is doing, but the suspense has been killing me!
- Bromance (MTV, 9pm): “Brody tricks the final four into attending a fake launch party for his line of designer jeans, where he asks them to walk the red carpet in pants that are entirely too tight.” Huh. I have no idea why people think this is really a dating show.

After all, he’s the one who’ll eventually call her “evil stepmom.”

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Announcements, Gossip, News, Rumors,

The A&E drama entitled The Beast, announced back in October of last year, is an FBI drama focusing on the relationship between Swayze’s veteran cop character Charles Barker, whose job is to teach his rookie partner (played by Travis Fimmel) his “eccentric” undercover ways.
“I have searched for quite a long time to find a character that is this multi-layered, unpredictable and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting edged,” Swayze reveals of his character.

Whoopi Goldberg Addresses Former Co-Star Patrick Swayze
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Video,
On today’s episode of The View, host Whoopi Goldberg took time out to talk about her friend Patrick Swayze. (It was recently announced that the Ghost star was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.)
She revealed that her memorable role in the weeper was primarily due to her former co-star’s influence. Had Swayze not influenced director Jerry Zucker to cast Goldberg, she would not have received her 1991 Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actress.
