Did anyone else notice Lewis Hamilton on "Dancing with the Stars" tonight on ABC? His girlfriend from the *****cat Dolls is in the competition and got the highest score tonight. edit.... the "auto-censor" bleeped out the word before "cat" that denotes a young feline.... mod's.... it's a rock group, not female genitalia! The cameras panned on him a couple times but Tom Burgeon didn't give him any recognition. Should LH be behind a stimu...er simulator for this weekends race? JD
I saw that too. My wife was watching DWTS and I heard them announce that Nicole Scherzinger was dancing. I happened to look up at the end of her performance and saw LH sitting in the audience. The main host, Tom Bergeron, didn't mention anything, and no one in the audience appeared to have had any clue as to who LH was. I was surprised to see him in the audience since he's got a race coming up in less than 6 days in Australia.
Wasn't it Schumi who used to say he liked vacationing in the 'States, because he could go incognito? A flight "lay"-over? Ahem. Maybe Lewis will take a cue from Helio Castroneves and announce a break-up after a DWS appearance, too.
dang, forgot to watch this. curious to see how buzz aldrin will do... i wonder if the cameraman knew who it was, or if it was a random crowd shot?
No point is there? 'red bulls are the quickest, this year is doomed for me' . Yes he did. I remember reading that at one of the US GPs, he was running a bit late and was speeding a little (nothing excessive). When a police man pulled him over he said 'who do you think you are, Mario Andretti?'. Schumacher replied: 'no I'm not, but I am Michael Schumacher'. 'well who is that then'.
Those stories abound. I remember after the British GP where Mansell clinched the WDC, Ayrton Senna was pulled over while headed for the airport at high speed, and was asked, "Who do you think you are: Nigel Mansell?". (Adding insult to injury.) But the best was the F1 driver pulled over in France and asked, "Who do you think you are: Alain Prost?" ... and he was. (At least, according to a story Prost used to tell.) (Although my favorite is the driver pulled over in Georgia (the state, not the country), driving a classic Jag. The southern cop walked up to the left hand window, and told the driver, "Son, y'all want to slide on over here, ... ... and bring that steerin' wheel with ya.")
very sad to watch him.... seemed to have an onset of Alzheimers...I felt his name and heroism were being exploited by ABC. JD
It would be funny if he came on the UK version "strictly come dancing". I might actually watch it then!
I was under the impression that they were broken up then his mug came up on the TV last night and my wife called me into the room to check it out.
Actually they're back together as I pointed out in a thread earlier this year. They split up not because of personal differences, but because they're lifestyles keep them geographically separated. Her life is based in LA, his in London. I'm big fan of any astronaut in general and Buzz in particular (met him a couple of times). But in all honesty he moved as if he was still wearing the stiff lunar suit. He should be voted off first. Then that gawdawful Gosselin. It was a deliberate catch, not random. Sadly none of the announcers commented on who he is. Oh well, at least we got Brooke Burke as co-host. She is even hotter than Scherzinger and that says something.
HEY... it's the only way I can have the wife watch F1 with me! Even converted here into a fan rather than a Stepford Wife. small price to pay! JD
