MADONNA VOWS: I WILL DANCE AGAIN!

Madonna is still smarting because she had to cut short her concert tour due to the fact that she was in “indescribable pain.” Exactly WHAT was hurting her, she does not specify. Earlier, she admitted to a knee injury, but something else came up that made performing impossible. Like Tom Cruise, she flatly refuses to let an age–related condition slow her down. She posted a video of herself on Instagram dancing on one leg, but the interesting part is really the outfit she’s wearing…

CAITLYN JENNER TO DONALD TRUMP: SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME!

Caitlyn Jenner, 66, packed up her party dresses and left early today to attend a pre-inauguration dinner in Washington. No surprise- she has always been a staunch Republican and someone has invited her to Trump’s inauguration Friday. It’s rumored that Donald Trump has been encouraged to dance with Caitlyn during the evening’s festivities to ease tension with the LGBT crowd. (What a photo THAT would be!) Jenner is considered something of a traitor for supporting Trump – he’s been unsympathetic to LGBT rights. We think the chances of this dance happening are slim to none….

PERSONAL TRAINERS ARE GOING TO HATE TEYANA TAYLOR

A star was born at the VMA’s and she didn’t have to sing a note! One of the high points of the show was Kanye West’s Fade video starring singer/dancer Teyana Taylor. Kanye and his music couldn’t hold a candle to to the mesmerizing performance of 26 year old Teyana and her amazing physique. Yesterday she confessed that she DOESN’T GO TO THE GYM or WATCH HER DIET. She just dances. But most important of all, she was BORN THAT WAY. DNA! The bad news is that personal trainers everywhere must be fainting – their clients gulp supplements and sweat every day, dreaming of achieving such a body, but it’s never going to happen. Gym workouts and dancing can IMPROVE what you already have, but in reality cannot change your proportions. You might as well have fun dancing and forget those boring machines and repetitions!

SELENA GOMEZ PAMPERS THOSE LEGS

Even 21 year old Selena Gomez can dance herself into a state of exhaustion. She‘s currently on her tour of North America and Europe and admits that the dancing part of her show is the most challenging. She posted a photo on Instagram of herself on her private plane after her Winnipeg, Canada, performance that shows how she recovers. She picked up some takeout from McDonald’s and leaned back in her seat with huge bags of ice on her aching knees. Selena remarked “Now, I hurt. Everywhere.”

GIVE “FOOTLOOSE” A CHANCE

Much of the audience invited to an advance screening of the remake of the 1984 movie “Footloose,” had low expectations, to say the least. On the other hand, how bad could it be? It turns out, not bad at all, and lots of fun to boot. The plot is still rather hokey – it’s difficult to imagine a town outlawing dancing, even a religious town in the South. But the characters are fun, and the high school kids are as anxious to have a good time as kids anywhere. (Added bonus: cool guys showing off their dance moves might inspire more high school males to dance.) Miles Teller (above, right) is especially good as the leading man Kenny Wormald’s new best friend, who learns to dance. It’s a sweet upbeat story without vulgarities or unnecessary violence – perfect for a first date. The best part is you walk out happy and grooving to the music.
