I’m sure none of you expect me to talk about Taylor and Kelce.  You’re far more interested in one of her backup dancers.  Jan Ravnik previously appeared in Mariah Carey’s 2020 Christmas special, danced behind Paula Abdul during her Vegas residency, and even did “something” with Bruno Mars.  He was also named Best Dancer of Slovenia…twice!  Obviously Melania wasn’t in the running!  This season he’ll be heating things up on Dancing with the Stars.  Jan has bypassed the “troupe” and has joined the show as a pro paired with that Mormon chick.

Meanwhile on Broadway, Oh, Mary! has found a new star once Jinkx Monsoon departs the production.  Starting on October 14^th, Jane Krakowski will play the Widow Lincoln.  Now stop that – I can feel many of you out there rolling your eyes.  Who knows?  She might be good.  After all, she made her Broadway debut way back in 1987 as a member of n Starlight Express.  Admittedly, that isn’t helping the argument – unless Mary Todd suddenly decides to appear on roller skates!  She’s scheduled to be in the show until December 7^th.

The fall has been littered with a handful of award shows.  The MTV Video Music Awards found Ricky Martin with a handful of junk…his own!  Getting ready for the show, the waistband of his trousers had split – an occupational hazard quite common for those of us who don’t allow for much breathing room.  Moments before going onstage, he was photographed on a sofa in his dressing room darning up those darn slacks.  Happily (or not), he managed to stitch in time for his number.  As I always say, waist not, want not.
