Nick Lachey’s brother, Drew, canceled an appearance on Mad TV last week because the producers of Dancing with the Stars threw a hissy fit. In an email obtained by Page Six, Drew’s rep said: “[The producers] weren’t thrilled with anyone on their shows participating in a parody of any sort. Drew has had a great experience on the show and since they only have 10 days left, his team doesn’t think he should ruffle feathers or bite the hand that fed him.”
When the hand that feeds you is an appearance on Dancing with the Stars you know you’ve got a problem or two with your career. Or your life for that matter.

Well that all depends on the defintion of success is.
If success is defined by having a sibling make oodles of cash by banging and marrying a ditzy chick who has a nice rack to sell the public, then yeah, he’s reached success.
Seems like he’ll have a claim to about 15 million reasons to help define that success.

I got a conga song out of his name: “Drew Lachey is gay, OH! Drew Lachey is gay, OH! (Bug does conga line dance with arm in air)

I have no idea why Drew would blow off “MadTV” for “Dancing With The Stsrs.” It’s so obvious that Jerry Rice is going to win, regardless of the judges or the votes, because he was the Superbowl MVP and ABC and the NFL are in bed together. Seriously, Rice is about as graceful a dancer as an arthritic gorilla wearing polio braces.

LaydeeBug, “Dancing with the Stars” only proves the truth behind your conga song. Anyways I don’t really care who wins that show, since the best couple on there is those two nasty old people. If only they would show more of Stacey Keebler.

First of all, DWTS has had huge ratings for ABC on a night (Thursday) when it has constantly lost for years to NBC and CBS. Secondly, ABC no longer has any allegiance to the NFL now that Monday Night Football is gone.

“…his team doesn’t think he should ruffle feathers or bite the hand that fed him”. Drew Lachey has a team? Let’s see, that would consist of Frank Stallone, Don Swayze, and Joey Travolta, right?
I fast forward through DWTS except for the parts that feature Lisa Rinna. Her lips fascinate yet disturb me…..

I think Drew should change his name to Nick in order to make any money. Obviously he is talentless enough to go on any show like “Dancing with the Stars.”
Here is something I need to ask to the producers of “Dancing with the Stars,” where are the stars?
Drew you would have done yourself the favor for just buckin’ up to do “The Surreal Life.”

Am I the only one who think that he’s banging his dance partner? I mean come on have you seen his wife.. WOOF!
Darby | February 21, 2006 at 9:03 pm
I’m sorry but Dancing with the Stars is a good show and Drew is an amazing dancer! I hope he wins. Jerry Rice looks like he is sleeping when he is dancing. And come on his wife is pregnant so no fat jokes. And what about the skater on Skating with Celebrities leaving his pregnant wife (they actually separated before the show) and now he is hooked up with his partner Christy Swanson and she still looks great!
Jayne | February 21, 2006 at 9:14 pm
His wife is so fugly.
I’ve only seen her during clips of Dancing with the Stars but ugh.
And no one can excuse her pregnancy for her looks because I’ve seen plenty og beautiful pregnant women.
Drew is god damn adorable.
Short.
But adorable.
I hope he wins.

I thought the show was called Dancing with the STARS not dancing with the losers.
Allthough that’s catchy to.
gogoboots | February 22, 2006 at 12:01 am
Drew who?
Lavinia the Vainglorious | February 22, 2006 at 12:04 am
Oh wow I thought Drew Carey had lots of fame, money and strippers falling all over him. Well at least he’s lost some weight and got rid of those beatnik glasses…wah, this isn’t about Drew Carey?
Who in the hell is this guy? Surely not the brother of a semi-celeb who was married to a slightly more famous celeb. We wouldn’t really care about someone with such a tenuous connection to a starlet. That would just be bizarre.

Nick Lachey has a brother?
Sassy | February 22, 2006 at 7:41 am
He’d get it.
jugsgirl | February 22, 2006 at 10:17 am
nick lachey has lost quite a bit of weight since jessica stopped paying the grocery bill.
lloyddobblerNJ | February 22, 2006 at 10:53 am
Hi Foxbase Alpha ,
Actually ABC and ESPN are sister companies under the Disney parent… and since ESPN is getting Monday Night Football, there is a connection there.
I’m not saying it will affect the judging or anything, but I just thought I’d throw that out there.
xAgonyxScenex | February 22, 2006 at 3:51 pm
the guy probably has more money then most of us
smartass | February 22, 2006 at 5:14 pm
I’d like to see a pic of his wife. I did a search but didn’t come up with anything.
gogoboots | February 23, 2006 at 12:33 am
drew lachey is still here? im more interested in nick anyways, he got away from the awful blonde clutches of ms. simpson, he’s definitely more superficial worthy than his doofus unknown brother….dancing with the stars, my a$$!
hermanita | February 23, 2006 at 11:33 pm
Since Drew became a “Dancing with the Stars” contestant, the show has gotten 10 times more popular. This guy is WAY cuter, smarter and SO MUCH more talanted then his ugly ass idiot of a brother. Nick is the loser here. He didn’t even classify for the show. And to all those saying only talantless people do that show, you obviously haven’t seen Drew dance dumbasses. I’d like to see you go and do what he does and earn his frkn money (cause he’s obviously gonna win).
I know all the idiots are gonna jump on me now saying: ahh it’s a superficial site you MUST insult everyone. But damnit, I am being superficial and he looks good…so I’m not gonna lie. And saying he’s talantless is like saying Angelina Jolie is the ugliest man on earth. And if you think so, then please go hang yourself.
