Never mind that Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria, do celebrate March 1st as the first day of spring – this only has to do with ancient traditions from these specific countries, traditions that, ironically, have a lot to do with marketing and sales too. Today, Romanians buy flowers, gifts and mărțișoare for the women in their lives, and so do Moldavians, and Bulgarians, although, in Bulgaria the small symbol of the spring is called martenitsa. For all these countries, and for many others inhabited by Romanians and Aromanians, the first day of March is a traditional holiday associated with sending off winter and welcoming spring – the first day of spring. But these are rather singular cases. Most of the world celebrates the first day of spring with the Vernal equinox.

It’s still only March 1, not March 20 — and no, your thermostat didn’t bust, it’s still chilly-chill outside. You see, today is the first day of meteorological spring. Didn’t know that? Well somebody did because the masses are plugging it into the Google genie today like crazy. Just don’t get too excited and pull out your cruddy flip-flops quite yet. Meteorological spring means that many people across the country, especially up north, will still have to bundle up in heavy coats and squeeze their feet into those stretched out, worn down Fuggs yet one more day, even though they were practically wearing shorts yesterday. And oh, yes, they’ll still be able to complain about this pain in the ass, changeable weather a little while longer.

Oh! Don’t forget Kirstie Alley — ’cause we have a thing for her, and because it’s always fun to see if someone loses weight while competing in the show. With Williams, Wilkinson and Leonard/Jericho covering the “controversial,” “hottie” and “athlete” categories held last season by Bristol Palin, Audrina Patridge and Rick Fox/Kurt Warner, “DWTS” was left to fill the Season 11 roles of “name from Gen Xers’ childhoods” (Ralph Macchio is the new Florence Henderson?) and “someone who came from Disney” (“Wizards of Waverly Place” alum Chelsea Kane is the new Kyle Massey). ( Read 2011 Dancing With The Stars Cast more… ) 2011 ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Cast Is Filled With Not-So-Dumb Jocks The 2011 Dancing With the Stars cast has been announced, and it seems like a good handful of the B- or C-list stars are famous for either being pro athletes (wrestler Chris Jericho, boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, pro football player Hines Ward) or for playing one (Karate Kid Ralph Macchio) or being married to one (Kendra Wilkinson). Now, this is what I’m talkin’ about! It’s supposed to be an amateur dance competition, so I’ve never understood why they’ve brought people like Romeo, Joey McIntyre, Drew Lachey, Lance Bass, Mel B, Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger, and even Jennifer Grey on the show. People who have made a career out of … dancing!!! That’s not fair! The show is supposed to be about amateurs learning the ropes of hardcore dance. Sure, Mel B never learned the Two-Step for Spice Girls numbers. But given her experience, she obviously has more dance ability than the average person.

Catherwood is a Los Angeles–based radio DJ who got his start as a sidekick on the Kevin & Bean morning show on L.A. rock radio station KROQ and currently co-hosts the nationally syndicated ‘Loveline’ with everyone’s favorite TV personality / addiction specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky.

So, all in all, it was a typical line-up for the popular ABC reality show. The rumors we reported earlier came true: ‘Cheers’ star Kirstie Alley and former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson were both on the official roster. And while Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell didn’t end up joining ‘DWTS’ (and neither did Joy Behar, despite our wish list), pro wrestler Chris Jericho and talk show host Wendy Williams will be among the celebrities shaking their hips.
