Dancing with the Stars is gearing up for its 9th season and while it doesn’t begin until September 21st, the drama has already started. Yesterday the show announced the latest contestants who will be vying for the treasured mirror ball trophy. Among the contestants are former teen heartthrob Donny Osmond, former Teenage Witch Melissa Joan Hart, and former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Here to talk about how Dancing with the Stars is a half-way house for fame-addicted celebrities is Andy Borowitz. He’s a humorist who writes for New Yorker and at Borowitz Report. He also wrote Who Moved My Soap?: The CEO’s Guide to Surviving Prison.
