This Week Margaret Cho Sambas To the Copacabana on DWTS

Tonight starts week 3 of “Dancing With The Stars” and we need your votes for Margaret Cho to ensure she stays on the show into week 4.  Please take a minute to tune in, tell your friends to tune in and vote for Margaret Cho as she tells her very personal story while dancing The Samba to “Copacabana.” It’s her most poignant and festive performance yet.

“This week we are telling a story with our dance. Our storyline is my story. When I did TV the first time, what seems like so many years ago, I was told I was too overweight to play myself – I became so sick with anorexia, I almost died. This story is about how I overcame feeling self doubt, and became beautiful to myself. This is the moment when I said to myself, “This is it. This is what I look like – and I accept who I am completely.” So many people never do this in their entire lives. I want to show them how. So it is about Lola, the showgirl, who is beautiful and is loved by herself and everyone else. I am a showgirl – because I am showing off this girl!! It’s also an important story to tell because there have been so many suicides by gay teens lately. I want to reach out to these kids who feel like they don’t have any hope and say that yes, there is hope. There is love. Stay with me. Let’s stick around for it. Together.” — Margaret Cho
