I must admit to being more of a Strictly fan than an X-Factor addict, but if you read the celebrity magazines as much as I do then you can’t really avoid the gossip about the bitching, the arguments and all the prima donna behaviour – and that’s just the judges! Even the mainstream press seems obsessed with Tulisa’s tattoos, Kelly’s fabulous range of Birkin bags and Louis’every-increasing campness. Only the saintly Gary Barlow seems to have escaped a savaging from the tabloids. I can’t figure out if that’s because he genuinely is the nicest guy in the world or if being the only talented member of Take That, somehow protects you from gossip columnists.

In the field of entertainment, it is not easy to stay on top. Your main goal is to remain relevant not only to your fans, but to the studio executives and entertainment journalists too. This cut throat business requires the utmost in commitment, dedication and a thick skin. They say all press is good press when you are a celebrity. Anything that keeps you in the public eye, whether it’s positive or not, can be seen as a boost in your career.

One of the ways celebrities maintain their fame is to participate in reality shows. One such show is “Dancing with the Stars.” Now in its 13th season, “Dancing with the Stars” pairs B or even C list celebrities with professional ballroom dancers. The celebrities come from the world of sports, music, television and most recently, other reality shows. The creators of the show thought fans would love to see these celebrities tripping over their own feet as they learn how to do dances like the foxtrot, rumba and Viennese waltz. The professional dancers get to test new forms of choreography and get the kind of exposure that most dancers can only dream of. For the celebrities, they get the opportunity to either revive their careers or get the public to see them in a new light. This season includes a basketball player known for his hot temper as well as his skills on the court, a pop star from the 1990’s, and a reality star portrayed as having a bad attitude. Whether they win the mirror ball trophy or not, the contestants on “Dancing with the Stars” are given a second chance at stardom.

It’s too bad a show like this doesn’t exist for celebrity animals. Animals from shows such as “Mr. Ed”, “Frasier” and “Sabrina, The Teenage Witch” became celebrities in their own right. However, when the show ended, so did their chance at continuing their stardom. In the case of Mr. Ed, the price of equine insurance may have been more than some reality shows were willing to pay.
