Speaking of dancing, I watched Dancing with the Stars <\/em><\/strong>for the first time in a couple of seasons.  I simply couldn\u2019t resist Tom Bergeron<\/strong>\u2019s triumphant return for the show\u2019s 20th<\/sup> anniversary.  Truly it was fun to see many of the former contestants and pros in fleeting shots.  But if I\u2019ve previously called this show Dancing with a Bunch of Nobodies<\/em><\/strong>, a better name might be Dancing with Relatives of Stars<\/em><\/strong>.  Because we saw the return of Rumor Willis <\/strong>\u2013 the child of two stars (who showed no emotion at the mention of her father\u2019s illness).  And Dylan Efron<\/strong>!  OK, his brother is a star.  But what does Dylan do?  I thought Jen Affleck <\/strong>was related to Ben.  But Affleck is her married name \u2013 her husband is Zac Affleck <\/strong>(yes, I kid you not).  She\u2019s told people that her husband is a distant relative to the more famous Afflecks.  Then genealogists did some research and discovered that there is no connection whatsoever.  Zac leapt to his wife\u2019s defense: \u201cThat\u2019s just a family joke.\u201d  Leave those to the professionals!<\/p>\n

Speaking of nobodies, I\u2019ve been told that YouTubers <\/em>Daniel Howell <\/strong>and Phil Lester <\/strong>are dating.  But I\u2019m not exactly sure I know who they are \u2013 unless one of them used to call his mother Lovey<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Everybody seems to be talking about how terrible All\u2019s Fair<\/em><\/strong> is, and how Kim Kardashian <\/strong>is the kiss of death.  But another story was more interesting to me.  Co-stars Niecy Nash-Betts<\/strong>, Sarah Paulson <\/strong>and Glenn Close <\/strong>were asking each other questions on Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/strong>.  Niecy had a question for Sarah.  \u201cWhen you look at me and you look at you, have you ever once thought about trading partners?\u201d  Sarah smiled, nodded, and said, \u201cYes\u201d.  Sarah added, \u201cHave you seen Niecy\u2019s partner?\u201d  And Glenn chimed in, \u201cI can go for that!\u201d  Meanwhile, Holland<\/strong> is sitting home wondering, \u201cWhat about me?  Do I get to sleep with anyone?  Or am I running the camcorder?\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any wife swapping in the family of RFK Jr<\/strong>. (we all know about RFK Sr<\/strong>.).  But if so, perhaps Cheryl Hines <\/strong>has helped Bobby <\/strong>with his latest research.  He claims there is a link between circumcision and autism.  If that\u2019s the case, I\u2019ve slept with a whole lotta autistic people \u2013 and am likely on the spectrum myself. <\/p>\n

By the by, we hear that since Trump <\/strong>eviscerated the Kennedy<\/em><\/strong> Center<\/em><\/strong> board, ticket sales to shows have dropped considerably.  Some events have only sold 34 percent \u2013 although to be fair, that was a Bee Gees <\/em><\/strong>tribute concert!<\/p>\n
