TheCinera:
I called it! Pastore wouldn't last in the competition. I didn't think he'd drop out of the show before it aired, but oh well...here's an aritcle about it from Zap2it:

Pastore Takes Off 'Dancing' Shoes
Rigors of training whack ex-'Sopranos' star
"Dancing with the Stars" doesn't premiere until nearly three weeks from now, but the show has already lost one of its competitors.
Former "Sopranos" star Vincent Pastore has dropped out of the ABC show following a week of training. The 60-year-old actor cites the physical rigors of the 10-week competition as his primary reason.
"When I initially committed to joining 'Dancing with the Stars,' I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me," says Pastore, who played mobster "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero on "The Sopranos." "Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity."
Pastore had been slated to dance with Edyta Sliwinksa on the fourth edition of the show, which debuts Monday, March 19. An ABC spokesperson says the show will announce a replacement for Pastore in the coming days.
Executive producer Conrad Green says he's sorry to see Pastore go but "respect his decision."
"We appreciate him standing aside now rather than having to withdraw later," Green says. "'Dancing with the Stars' is physically demanding, and it pays to know your limits."

:lol3: Me too, puddin! :lol:
Well actually I am a fan of his, esp when Gary & were line dancing. Cyrus's hit song "Achy Breaky Heart", was one of the first line dances we learned! :happy: :wohoo:
Still love that song! :hearts:

So now the big question is: Who's going to replace Pastore?
RudyRules:
Forgot to say I'll probably be rooting for Billy Ray, unless he does a purdy lousy job of dancing. The only other two contestants I've heard of are Leeza Gibbons and Joey Fatone.
I just hope DWTS isn't gonna conflict w/ my Tues/Wed shows!!

That is a good question, Mandy. I have no idea. Jimmy Kimmel talked with Leeza Gibbonson his talk show the night the cast was relvealed, and he said he'd do the show. I'd love to see him on it, his late night show rocks!
This reminds me of Season 2, when Lil Romeo dropped out before the show aired, and Master P took over. We all know what happened next. Lets hope this person isn't another Master P.
I'm in the middle of writing an article (that will be posted on the home page) revealing who the cast is. But, since the "Big Pussy" lived up to his name, I'm going to have to put it on hold until the replacement is revealed.
