"Dancing With The Stars": PEEPSHOW?!?!?

Dancing with the Stars alumnae Mel B (aka Scary Spice) and Kelly Monaco (aka Skinny Spice) will be starring in a topless “burlesque-style” show in Las Vegas called PEEPSHOW. All caps people. We take this to mean that the correct pronunciation of the show title includes a hollering and possible foot stamping.

The show itself is an original production in which:

Neither Brown nor Monaco will be topless, but the showgirls surrounding them will be. Brown will be "scantily clad, but in a classy way," she says.

Monaco's character in the show will be "Little Bo Peep," a timid and lonely girl who is guided by Brown's character, "Peep Diva." (people.com)

Sounds classy. Let’s imagine how it’ll look.

"Sex and The City" Sequel Is Happenin

Rumors of a sequel have been buzzing ever since the first movie grossed $153 million dollars last May, but truthfully, we're not sure we ever really thought it would happen...

Jubbily Bits

Former Spice Girl (or current Spice Girl? Are the Spice Girls like a gang? Are you a Spice Girl for life?) Melanie Brown is going to give the world the gift of fitness this fall. She describes her workout DVD to People.com saying, “For anyone with jubbily bits, I’m going to tighten you up.”

Hmmm . . . We’re on the fence about this one. Do we love the idea? Do we want Mel B to tone our ass cheeks into oblivion? Or, do we hate the idea? Should we tell her to leave our bits alone?

A Pro/Con list for your consideration:

Is There Some Sort Of Required Stance For Reality Show Hostesses?

We'd ask if it's some sort of union thing, but everyone knows those shows aren't exactly pro-labor.

She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
