Since 2008 we’ve watched All My Children’s J.R. Martinez portray Brot Monroe and tonight you can watch the army veteran-turned actor as he debuts his fancy footwork to the world, on the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars.  Martinez will compete for the show’s big prize–a giant mirror ball trophy–against Carson Cressley, Chaz Bono, Chynna Phillips, David Arquette, Elisabetta Canalis, Hope Solo, Kristin Cavallari, Nancy Grace, Ricki Lake, Rob Kardashian and Ron Artest, in the hopes of becoming the first soap star since General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco to win the trophy. 

He’ll have his work cut out for him and need your votes. All My Children’s Cameron Mathison and Susan Lucci (seasons five and seven respectively) each danced their butts off on DWTS, but failed to take home the award.

All My Children's JR Martinez Preps For DWTS Spotlight


 
All My Children's JR Martinez isn't the least bit nervous about competing on Dancing With The Stars this fall. Instead of worrying about his two-step, Martinez is using his appearance on the ABC hit to educate the public about the injuries he suffered after he drove his Humvee over a landmine in Iraq as in 2003. The actor told The New York Post:
I am a voice, and I’m just someone who’s out there educating the world for people who don’t necessarily look ‘Hollywood’-ish. I like the fact that I look different. I’m the underdog, the guy people have to Google and see who I am, so I’m cool with that. I want people to find out who I am and grow with me . . . to embrace me for who I am and see who I am, personality-wise.

Oprah to Sarah Ferguson: “Don’t Let Me See You On Dancing With The Stars.”

The debut of Oprah’s new cable network OWN is almost here! In an interview with the talk show queen, Parade asked which shows were her idea, which led to the topic of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York’s recent scandal and her upcoming six-part OWN series Finding Sarah.

How many of the shows are your idea?

Master Class. Finding Sarah [a six-part documentary with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, premiering in spring]. That came from an interview I did this summer with her. We had a moment of real connection, watching the tape of her trying to get £500,000 [for access to Prince Andrew]. She said she didn’t want to go into bankruptcy. I said, “But when you look at that tape, don’t you see a morally bankrupted person? The one thing you were trying to avoid, you already are.” She said, “I never thought of it that way before.”

Ah, there you go again!

I remember the last thing I said to her when I left that interview: “Don’t let me see you on Dancing with the Stars.” She started e-mailing me and at one point asked what did I think of her doing a celebrity chef show. And I said, “That’s not going to help you. How are you going to rehabilitate yourself on a celebrity chef show? You should be working on yourself.”
