Mexico Shakes With a 7.4

Usually most of the shaking coming out of Mexico involves what American tourists feel in their stomach when they return home, but today a strong 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit Southern Mexico on shaking central and southern parts of the country. Fear and panic spread as a less powerful, magnitude-5.1 aftershock was also felt in the capital.

Hours after the shaking at noon local time, there were still no reports of death or serious injury.  Some buildings and homes were reported as damaged.

Donald Driver Dances Tonight

Tonight we find out if Donald Driver can dance as "Dancing With the Stars" begins another season. 

Keeping close watch will no doubt be Green Bay Packer fans as one of the most popular Packers of all-time hits the dance floor in search of the morror ball trophy.

I tend to think he's going to be pretty good.  Can he duplicate what Hines Ward did a year ago?  It will be tough, but Ward benefited from a stron Steeler fan base voting for him each week. 

Green Bay fans will be there in droves as well.  Good luck to "Double D"!

Are Changes Afoot at Dancing With the Stars?

Will one of "Dancing With the Stars" most popular pro dancers be left off the dance floor this season?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the self proclaimed "bad boy" of dance  told the Canadian version of "Entertainment Tonight" that he may not be invited back for the upcoming season of hit ABC show, which will start next month.

"I still don't know if I'm on the show," Chmerkovskiy has said. "I didn't get the call yet."

Maks is known for getting the most out of his celebrity partners, but last season he had a battle with lead judge Len Goodman. After Goodman noted he had been involved in the dance business for 50 years, Chmerkovskiy let him have it: "Maybe it's time to go!" Asked a few minutes later, Chmerkovskiy committed a memorable: "With all due respect, this is my show."

While it isn't Chmerkovskiy's show per say, he's one of the reasons millions of people tune in to see it.  he moves the meter, and show exectutives will probably see he needs to come back.
