    MUMBAI: Unable to keep ABC?s show ?Glass House? off the air, CBS has issued a fake press release. The release informs that a new show, ?Dancing On The Stars?, will start and the name is a take on ABC?s show, ?Dancing With The Stars?.

    CBS had earlier argued in court that ?Glass House? is a copy of its show ?Big Brother?.

    CBS in the fake release said that subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, it felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, ground-breaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.

    The dazzling new show, Dancing On The Stars, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood?s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.

    The broadcaster also said that it has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air.

    ?Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we?re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, ?Postmodern Family?. After all, people who live in glass houses shouldn?t throw stones,? CBS said.
