News from TV Land: Who is going dancing this season plus details on when your favorite shows are coming back and the newest way to show your love for American Idol! Hi everyone, Andrea Rene here for get the dialy.com and I've got the details on what's happening in the world of Television. The swinging and dancing celebrity phenonmenon known as "DAncing with the stars" is returning! Okay not for another month but they did announced who the next celebrity couples will be! This season you'll be able to watch comedian Adam Corolla cha cha his way around that stage, plus American Pie hottie Shannon Elizabeth will be showing off those long legs. And R and B star Mario, who's got some hip hop skills will be seeing if he can foxtrot too! Also on tap to perform are some top atheles like tennis star Monica Seles, NFL Man of the Year Jason Taylor, and who could forget Olympics ice skating champ Kristi Yamaguchi, did I forget Priscilla Presley?! If she has half the moves her late husband had she's a shoe in for the finals. It all starts with the premiere on March 17th. If you want a full listing of all the celebrities and their professional dance partners, head over to abc.com. Now that the writer's strike is over, many TV shows are getting in gear to start production as soon as possible, problem is, it takes a while to produce just one episode of some of our favorite shows, but have no fear, I have some updates on when your favorites are returning. Grey's Anatomony, the ruling show on Thursday nights will return in April with 4 or 5 new episodes to finish the season. And House will come back in April as well with new episodes, but bad news for "24" fans, the combination of the writer's strike, plus their leading man's prison stay, cut the legs off of the series this year and it won't return for its next season until January 2009. Lost, as you probably now is already airing but will take a break in March and resume in April. Plus Heroes and Private Practice won't return until the fall season and they folks at NBC decided to just cancel the Office, ha ha just kidding, it comes back in April too. All told, the writer's strike cost Hollywood an estimated $2.5 BILLION dollars, and hopefully, there won't be a repeat when SAG negiotations begin on their new contract. You know you have a soft spot for American Idol like I do! Okay I'll admit it, I'm kind of a super fan, and if you're one too, I've got good news! Starting this week the top 24 are performing and if you miss the performances or just want to watch them over and over again, you can now BUY Them! Yes it the latest techonoligical wonder courtesey of iTunes, naturally. You can purchase full songs from the top 12 guys and top 12 gals for 99 cents or the full videos for 1.99 beginning March 12th. It's part of Fox new's move to get viewer's more involved with the idol contestants, the main reason why all those annoying guest judges were given the boot. The top 12 men performed last night with some early favorites already setting the bar and the top 12 ladies perform tonight so set your Tivo! That's your television news for now.
