Adam Rippon coyly responds to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ rumors
Is Adam Rippon doing “Dancing with the Stars”? The figure skater is keeping his lips mostly sealed for now.

“I would think that, like, it would be, like, such as, umm, the Americas and such as,” the Olympic bronze medalist told “Entertainment Tonight” when asked, invoking Miss South Carolina Caitlin Upton infamous answer at the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant. (This means he’s totally doing it, right?!)

TV Wonder Woman Lynda Carter to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

If you want to know the truth, Carter wasn’t the original Wonder Woman that played the TV version, but she was the icon that took over the role and made it last within the American consciousness.

Directed by Chapman and Maclain Way (“The Battered Bastards of Baseball”), “Wild Wild Country” focuses on what at first seems like a relatively simple conflict. Followers of an Indian spiritual guru decided to build a commune in Oregon, and their neighbors were none too pleased about it. But what started as an uncomfortable wariness of the unknown soon turned nasty, then openly hostile,
