Now I can finally stop getting weekly updates from dallasmavericks.com.

On a night that saw an inordinate amount of thrills and spills, Mark Cuban should have concentrated harder on his three wishes.
Showmanship and an entertaining "I Dream of Jeannie"-inspired samba couldn't keep the 49-year-old billionaire on Dancing with the Stars any longer, and on Tuesday Cuban became the fifth celeb to leave ABC's red-hot ballroom competition.
"Thank you, to all of you. You've all been so supportive," said the Dallas Mavericks owner who added that, in addition to his week-one goatee, he's lost 30-some pounds since the season began.
Then again, flair could be overrated. Grace and charm certainly appear to be.
Jane Seymour, the show's resident English rose, joined Cuban in the bottom two, despite being tied for third place with a 26 on her rumba and earning praise for her inherent classiness, "beautiful body shape" and "lovely lines."
But the biggest compliment of all for the 56-year-old actress—from the judges, at least—may have been when Bruno Tonioli compared her body to 25-year-old pro Edyta Sliwinska's.
Meanwhile, Marie Osmond may be down, but she's not out.
A night after she passed out following her literally breathtaking samba, Osmond came back raring to go, saying she's "absolutely" ready to dance next week, and stayed out of trouble despite only scoring a 21.
"At least only a few people saw it," Osmond joked as she was helped off the dance floor Monday night.
After she was checked out by a medic backstage, the 48-year-old singer told Dancing cohost Samantha Harris that she was just fine and apologized for the unexpected drama.
"Once in a while that happens to me. When I get winded, I stop breathing," Osmond explained.
On Tuesday she said that she's undergone numerous tests in the past to get to the root of the problem, but that it might just have been a combination of allergies and the poor air quality, due to the numerous wildfires that have been burning around Southern California since the weekend.
Decidedly out of danger this week were Melanie Brown and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who ended the evening in first place with a 29 after the Spice Girl overcame a nasty cold and turned in a scintillating samba, to the tune of her reunited pop group's 1997 single "Spice Up Your Life."
"We did bloody well just now," Mel B said backstage after Len Goodman had praised her for getting her "bum in gear."
"I got to meet the Spice Girls!" added Chmerkovskiy, who jetted across the pond with Brown to London last week.
Adding more Girl power, this time of the Cheetah variety, was Sabrina Bryan, who scored a 28 (including a 10 from Bruno Tonioli) on her rumba with Mark Ballas Jr.
"A few over-the-top poses and postures," Goodman opined, to which Tonioli replied that "a good trick is a good trick."
And Cameron Mathison found his heart (but left his superhero shtick at home this time, thank goodness) just in time to become one of the show's most reliable competitors. It was a paso doble that revived him last week and a rumba that kept him in the judges'—and the voters'—good graces on Monday.
"Lock up your daughters!" Tonioli exclaimed after the All My Children actor's sexy turn around the ballroom with Sliwinska. "How you have improved is incredible."
A pretaped two-song performance by Jennifer Lopez, who had to bow out of a live appearance due to a family emergency and fulfill her obligation on Sunday, entertained the crowd (just not the one you were seeing on TV tonight).
The spirited chanteuse, fresh from a Friday-night concert with hubby Marc Anthony at Los Angeles' Staples Center, kept her skirts short and her fabrics baby-bump friendly, if she is indeed…you know.
Seven contestants remain and will dance both an individual routine and the first group number of the season next Monday.
