In March, Valerie Harper, the actress best known to TV fans as Rhoda Morgenstern on "Rhoda" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," announced on TODAY that she had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and it was terminal.
But on Thursday, clips from a new interview with Meredith Vieira revealed a shocking turnaround. Based on recent tests, the 74-year-old Harper — who had been diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a form of cancer that strikes the membranes surrounding the brain — may have beaten back the cancer for now.
"I'd say that we're getting pretty close to a remission," neruo-oncologist Dr. Jeremy Rudnick, Harper's physician, told her.
Seems to be an interesting mix of stars for this new season, although I'm not 100% head-over-heels about the cast, not bad. Surprised (and maybe pleasantly surprised) there is not a bachelor/bachelorette alumni in the cast this time around, no Olympic medal winners, no ice skaters, no experienced dancers to my knowledge. Looking forward to this season.
So how will the votes go this season, if the show is only one night (Mondays)? Just thinking that maybe we will have to quickly vote within the 1 or 2 hour episode and they will have the results by the end of the same episode and this would work across all time zones?
Details on voting are explained in a Q-and-A on the ABC site:
Things are a little different for Fall 2013. During the live show every Monday night, the stars will dance their hearts out. Then, fans like you vote for your favorite dancers.
The following week, the stars will perform again, and the judges will give each couple a score... Those scores will be added to your votes from the previous week, and the couple with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will be eliminated from the competition toward the end of that week’s episode.
So for example, your votes after Week 2 will be combined with the judges’ scores from Week 3 to determine who goes home at the end of Week 3.
According to the ABC site, Derek hosted a one-hour show on August 25. I'm going to see if I can watch it via Comcast's On Demand:
Hosted by Derek Hough, Family Dance Off is a one-hour special featuring five families who love to dance and who get the chance of a lifetime to perform and compete on a Hollywood stage before a live studio audience. Five families with a variety of backgrounds and styles will perform, the studio audience will vote, and the favorite family will dance away with a grand prize of $10,000. Get ready to bust a move. Family Dance Off airs SUNDAY, AUGUST 25 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on The ABC Television Network.
Almost made it through the introductions on GMA then reading the list thought we'd bypass a Disney kid.
Nope.....
Disney star Corbin Bleu but he was so cute, my DD had a crush on him, in High School Musical and a decent hip hop dancer we'll see if he can ballroom dance.
Leah Remini had the 'mean girl' look from her remote location this morning.
Good to see Derek doesn't get the thin fit gymnast or prior dance experience celeb.
Monday nights are for watching THE VOICE at our house...the best!
