Derek Hough, of Dancing With The Stars fame, was close to playing a gay character alongside Courtney Cox in the new ABC series Cougar Town. Unfortunately for Derek, his recurring gay role in Dancing With The Stars caused scheduling conflicts. E! News reports,
“It would have been perfect,” Hough said. “With all the rumors going around, I thought it would be really funny because it’s just not true. But I was like, you know what? If that’s what you want to see.”
My heart breaks with this news. I’ve been waiting with bated breath to see Derek sashay around and lack sexual attraction to a cast of scantily clad semi-famous women. What show can I turn to now to fill this empty void?
