TV Preview: "Grease: You're the One That I Want"
NBC has been running near-constant promos for "Grease: You're the One That I Want," the reality show where America votes on who will play Sandy and Danny in an upcoming Broadway production of "Grease." The first episode, a special 90-minute version, airs tonight (Sunday) at 8 p.m., with Olivia Newton-John as a guest star. I still can't decide whether it's going to be so bad it's good — or just bad.

What's Your No. 1 Favorite Song to Dance to?
Billboard recently came out with a list of the "most popular" singles of all the songs to have ever topped the Billboard 100 lists, and it's slightly baffling (then again, I'm not thoroughly clear on how the results were tallied). No. 1 on the list is Chubby Checker's "The Twist," which is apparently a groundbreaking tune because it "was the first time people were dancing 'apart to the beat.'"
The other songs on the top 10 include a hodgepodge of surprising titles (like Toni Braxton's "Un-break My Heart") but I noticed that several of them are distinctly dance-worthy.
TV Today: "Frosted Pink"
Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I've been writing about people in the entertainment industry who have been making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. So I wanted to make sure to mention "Frosted Pink," a TV special airing today on ABC designed to raise awareness of all women's cancers.
The event features musical performances, appearances from cancer survivor Sharon Osborne and other celebrities, and figure skating exhibitions from star athletes including Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi.
