Please, ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ don’t show us...

No surprise seeing celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito eliminated from ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Tuesday, but it was unnerving to see judge Bruno Tonioli, at Rocco’s request, show the meatball-loving cook how to swivel his hips more, um, swively.

Bruno and Rocco swiveled away, leaving this viewer with the prayerful hope that when 300-pound NFLer and increasingly sweaty Warren Sapp is eliminated, nothing similar occurs.

There wasn’t much for even the judges to say about former Olympic sprint star Maurice Greene. Except that he looked goofy in the disco Afro wig the costume experts put him in. An Afro?

And here’s a combination you’d never think of seeing. The junior competition began last night and the first winners were Kirill and Hannah from Staten Island. Kirill either wants to be a professional dancer or a hockey player when he grows up. Maybe Kirill can mambo is way to the NHL.

Each blog post is supposed to have a photograph, but Bruno and Rocco dancing a last dance? That’s a picture no one needs to see again. Just use your imagination and picture Bruno teaching Warren how to swivel better instead.

And I’m checking out, just for research purposes of course, a new Bravo TV reality show -- ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ Apparently many of the involved housewives have some connection to athletes -- NBA guard Eric Snow’s wife is one of the gilded wives down south.

This will be for blogging purposes only, of course. I would NEVER watch ‘Desperate Housewives of Atlanta’ ... or New York ... or Orange County. Ever.
