DWTS Offseason Update: 8-4-06

A few tidbits, as we count down the days until the big casting announcement on August 15...

Emmy Clarification
The award for Choreography, a category in which Cheryl Burke, Nick Kosovich, and Tony Dovolani are all nominated, will be presented at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday, August 19. That presentation will be televised on E!, and it's a safe bet that the winner in that category will also appear at the Primetime Emmy Awards on August 27.

Cheryl in Pittsburgh on August 5
Cheryl is one of the celebrity judges who'll help determine the best dancer at Let's Dance Pittsburgh. Try-outs start at 10 a.m., with a final competition at 8 p.m.

New for Fall
ABC will air the upcoming season of DWTS in Spanish as well as English. And Tatum O'Neal landed the lead role in the new soap, Art of Betrayal, to air on MyNetTV.
