Vanessa Williams To Put On A Show At Daytime Emmys

The Daytime Emmys are going retro-glam.

Susan Lucci’s Erica Kane Becoming TV’s Ultimate Cougar

Susan Lucci’s memorable “All My Children” character is about to become TV’s ultimate cougar.

The conniving Erica Kane, with 10 husbands down already, will fall into the arms of a much younger man on ABC’s soap opera this summer. To make life a little more complicated, it’s her daughter’s ex-husband and ex-fiance’s stepson.

Daytime Emmy Nominations Snub Lucci, ‘The View’

Often snubbed for a Daytime Emmy in the past, Susan Lucci has been jilted as a nominee this year.

Missing along with the “All My Children” veteran is “The View,” overlooked as a best talk nominee, though that ABC show’s five panelists (Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters) are sharing a nomination for best host, competing against Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray and “Live!” co-hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa.

Susan Lucci Hangs Up Her Cha Cha Heels, Heads Back To Pine Valley

Dancing With the Stars” narrowed the competition field down once again, letting go of soap opera star Susan Lucci on Wednesday night.

It was a tough season for the pint-sized Susan, who was paired with professional Tony Dovolani. Susan not only had to travel back and forth between New York, where she tapes her starring role on ABC daytime drama, “All My Children,” and Los Angeles, but all the dancing practice left her with an injured ankle.

Dish Of Salt: Investigating The ‘Dancing Curse’ With A Pyschic Medium: Part One

Last night we learned that yet another incident occurred on the “Dancing With The Stars” set. Julianne Hough was taken to the hospital after complaining of stomach problems. Brooke Burke just hurt her foot while rehearsing on Sunday.

Some would say it’s just a physically demanding show where amateurs are taking on dancing challenges they have never done before - so, injuries are bound to happen. Others are saying the stage is “cursed.” 

Two weeks ago I posted, in my blog, my research about CBS Television City where the show is taped. The lot used to be occupied by a place called Gilmore Stadium, which was used as a football field and a racetrack. Five racecar drivers died on the racetrack in its 18-year history. Prior to that, it was an oil field. This so called “curse” began in season five when Helio Castroneves, the racecar driver, first joined the show. So, I wanted to investigate this and see if maybe there actually was a connection.

Dish Of Salt: The ‘Dancing’ Curse Connection Finally Revealed

Ever since Marie Osmond fainted last October on “Dancing With the Stars” it seems some type of negative energy has taken over Stage 46 at CBS Television City. Food poisonings, injuries, surgeries, blackouts are all becoming common place on the set. Even the show could not ignore what many people are calling a “Dancing” curse.

In a taped segment last night the show pointed out the spot on the floor, near the judges, which pro dancer Derek Hough has dubbed the Bermuda Triangle. It’s where he was injured; Misty May-Treanor tore her Achilles tendon leading to her exit from the show and it’s also where Susan Lucci twisted her ankle.

But, now Access has uncovered the very interesting history about what used to sit on this studio lot — you’ll be surprised to find out!
