Can Mark Cuban dance? We’re all gonna find out on this season’s "Dancing With the Stars". The latest cast was announced yesterday and it included the always outspoken billionaire / Dallas Mavericks owner, even after his having undergone recent hip replacement surgery. Rumor has it he taught disco dancing in college though, so maybe he really can dance. According to the Dallas Morning News:
He’s our first billionaire!" is how
the show’s host, Tom Bergeron, preferred to put it.Hey, Tom: Don’t be fooled by the hip
replacement. Cuban isn’t simply Warren Buffett with an attitude.You TV types have no idea what you’ve
gotten yourself into this time. On American Idol, they occasionally toss Simon
Cowell a no-talent schlub he can eviscerate, just to keep his teeth sharp.If that’s what they intended in Cuban’s
case, they need to know that the intended sacrifice will bite back.
Remember how judge Bruno Tonioli classified
Billy Ray Cyrus’ dance step? Crap, he called it. Just about broke ol’ Billy
Ray’s achy, breaky heart. He grabbed the microphone, called Bruno rude and
stomped off, which pretty much was the extent of the damages.A word of warning, Bruno: Do not tell Cuban
he dances as if he has a broom up his bum, not unless you’re prepared for a
thousand-year war.And if you don’t believe me, just ask Don
Nelson. When Cuban sued Nellie this summer on grounds that he used insider
information to beat the Mavs, it wasn’t money that Cuban was after. He simply
couldn’t let a grudge go.
