Up till about five years ago, Hollywood castoffs were relegated to gin-soaked obscurity once their stars waned. But today’s unwanted actors and actresses simply join a reality show. Some of them eat sheep testicles or share a house with Mini-Me, but the lucky ones land a relatively embarrassment-free gig on Dancing With the Stars. Those even more fortunate hit the road in Dancing With the Stars -- The Tour, which comes to town tonight. Boy-band leftovers Drew Lachey and Joey McIntyre join Harry Hamlin, Joey Lawrence, and Lisa Rinna and their respective dance partners for a live version of the insanely popular TV program.
