Israel's Dancing With the Stars to feature same-sex couple

TV star Gili Shem Tov, who has a female partner in real life, will dance with heterosexual professional dancer Dorit Milman.

They will take turns in the traditional male role of leading dances.

Tov stated, "I have realised that dance is about co-ordination and energy between two people, whether male or female."

I agree that Ellen herself would be perfect on Dancing With the Stars. She loves to dance and I don't think she has ever done ballroom. Ellen could be the winner!

Yeah, this was on the news here last week.

I believe what I said then was: Great idea, terrible dancer.

I'm sorry. She's TERRIBLE. So awkward.

Oh, well.... probably could use some of the queer partner dancing instructors from the Oakland dance center here in the Bay Area (CA).
