Dancing On Thin Ice

Tilton with skater Matt Gonzalez

You know those big stars, the ones who would never be caught dead on American television pushing a product...you know the ones who secretly fly to Japan to make a quick buck filming ads they hope go unnoticed across the ocean. Well there is another set of celebrity, not the A list mind you but the E list...the Eighties!

Feldman

Eighties stars may not be skating to success on American soil but they do seem to be finding work skating on UK ice. Skating With The Stars was an abysmal failure on US television but Dancing On Ice is alive and well in the UK with some familiar faces about to hit the ice when the show premiers on ITV this Sunday. Along with the usual slew of tv presenters and UK soap stars, Dallas actress Charlene Tilton and Corey (whats with that one long bang...) Feldman have joined the ranks. If these two had joined the US version I might have actually watched.

It's as if the we in the UK don't have any stars. Unfortunately most of the US imports are unknown over here.. Heaven only knows why they are appearing on our TV.. I suppose the broadcasting company cant find any homebrew celebs who are willing to do it anymore after all it's a bit old hat now..
