It doesn’t take a genius to say that Kate Gosselin is headed home on Dancing with the Stars tonight. The only thing that could save her is a pity vote from Jon and Kate Plus 8 fans or divorced moms.

For the rest of us, she’s pretty irritating. Her trainer, Tony Dovolani, even walked out on her. Gosselin told him “I love how you teach but you are not taking into consideration how I learn” which is a patronizing way to say, “You suck at teaching.” She also pulled the “A lot of people quit on me in life” line and in this scenario, I could understand why — she’s a serious pain (for the record, I have no comments on the divorce, just her dancing).

Tony finally said he quit and walked out where he probably found ABC producers reminding him of his contract. He then, of course, returned and it became a bonding experience (typical DWTS style). But it sure didn’t help the dance — it was a disaster. It looked like she had never seen the steps before and hurt me to watch it. I think it was painful for most of America, so I’m betting she goes home.

In other news, what’s the deal with the men’s airplane arms (see pictures)? I know they’re all beginners, but I laugh every time I see it — especially pilot Jake. It's really more of a blend between yoga’s proud warrior stance and little boys pretending to be airplanes — hilarious!

Next time you watch the show, look out for it — guaranteed entertainment value increase. What off-the-wall thing amuses you about Dancing with the Stars? Let us know and maybe we'll write about it.

Texas country artist Dylan Gossett rambles into Houston on 2027 tour

Dylan Gossett will play three shows in Texas on the new leg of his tour.

Singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett, one of Austin's most prominent rising stars in music, is setting out on a U.S. headline tour set with a stop at Houston's Bayou Music Center on May 14, 2027.

The U.S. dates have been added to an existing U.S. and international tour called The Ramblin' Tour. New dates start March 25 in Charleston, South Carolina, and end May 21 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In addition to Houston, Gossett is playing the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park in Austin on May 13 and Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth on May 15. Two Texas dates earlier in the tour were already announced, and both are festivals: Farmer's Fest in College Station on October 16 and Silobration in Waco on October 24.

Gossett is known for a gentle country-Americana sound and also works as a producer. His most recent album, a sophomore effort called Ramblin', came out September 25. A press release frames the project as Gossett's return to Austin after touring the world, "with a renewed perspective on love, relationships, and the place that shaped him."

On some of his recent tours, he opened for Mumford & Sons and the Red Clay Strays, and he's currently co-headlining with Charles Wesley Godwin through the end of October.

Tickets to The Ramblin' Tour will be on presale starting Monday, October 5, at 10 am. Then a Citi presale starts at noon the same day. Other presales will lead into the general on-sale Tuesday, October 6, at 10 am.
