What would you do if you became a billionaire? Show up on a reality show, of course!

I read Mark Cuban’s blog regularly, more to get perspective on current events concerning Web/Advertising/Video and HD trends. Less about sports/basketball, though he does do some decent commentary on that every once in a while. So seeing Cuban on Dancing With the Stars, mixing work-ish stuff with the mindless entertainment I ingest to distract myself from work, well it’s like two worlds colliding.

Like when I see someone from rowing every morning at 5 a.m. They see you at your worst, all groggy, greasy hair, pillow imprints on your cheek; or maybe very sweaty and and in spandex. Then later on, after you’ve showered and had something to eat you bump into them at the store. See the collision? You can hardly recognize the person. Because they have clothes on. Or their hair is combed.

Cuban on “Dancing” feels like that. He looks like he’s having fun. Unfortunately I don’t think he’s going to last; That race car driver was pretty good. But I voted for Cuban anyway. I wonder how many other “Dancing” celebrities have their own blog following?

BTW, read the comments from his DWTS post, and Mr. Billionaire suddenly has many more fans. Of the female variety. “Hey Cutey Mark! I voted for you!” Ha ha ha.

BTW2, LOVE the tacky DWTS logo, much better than the newer one they’re trying to hawk. I don’t buy it. Bring back the cheap disco ball.

Another update: Cuban reports on the show, following the results episode. If you must know, he and Kym cut it close but made it through. Good thing I voted for them.
