Hey Cool Cats, Carole Baskin Is Going To Be On DWTS, So It Looks Like I'll Finally Be Watching A Season

On Wednesday, September 2, the "DWTS" cast for the 2020 season was announced on "Good Morning America". The celebrity lineup includes faces such as rapper Nelly, coach Monica Aldama of "Cheer", Aj McClean of the Backstreet Boys, and of course, the lovely (and alleged murderer) Carole Baskin.

It feels like Baskin has been a part of our lives for a long time now, but in reality, the "Tiger King" craze was just five months ago, at the start of quarantine. Since then, we have all come to know Baskin as the crazy (big) cat lady. Oh, and some have come to view her as a crazed husband killer.

But apparently, having a large portion of your following thinking you're a killer does not disqualify you from being able to participate in reality TV shows such as "Dancing with the Stars". To be fair, the rumor was started by Joe Exotic who is currently in prison for the next 22 years for killing tigers and trying to hire a hitman for, you guessed it, Carole Baskin.

In case you are a stable human with a productive life and thus have not seen "Tiger King", Exotic suggested that Baskin's missing husband, Don Lewis, was actually murdered by Baskin and that she fed him to their tigers so that she could have the Big Cat Rescue, the big cat sanctuary they owned, all to herself. Lewis went missing over 20 years ago in 1997 and has never been found. He was declared dead in 2002. She remarried in 2004.

The theory that Baskin killed her husband can be supported by some marital turmoil in the months leading up to his disappearance, but there is no proof and limited solid evidence to suggest that Baskin killed her husband.

Whether or not Carole Baskin killed her husband is not important right now, though. She will be a part of the upcoming season of "DWTS", and I don't think having a prison inmate accuse her of murder is a good enough excuse to not invite her to the show, but rather a good excuse to invite her. I only know one thing for sure: for the first time, I will be watching "Dancing with the Stars".

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
