Friday PM updates.

More Dancing With The Stars casting news...  This time, it's Jewel.  Yeah, you know, the foly singer who tried to go pop around the millennium after she got her teeth fixed.  Interesting.

I thought we were finally done with New York.  Nope.  She's joining a national tour of The Vagina Monologues to try her hand at the fine art of acting.  When asked about her upcoming role, New York said, "It's a serious actress type thingy and that's what I'm striving to be."  Seriously, she said that.  No cuss words.

Fantasia is going back to school...  Well, to get her GED.  I can't believe that she didn't even graduate high school before she had that kid and ended up on American Idol!  Some people have all the luck...
