'Dallas Cowboys: Cheerleaders Making The Team' Returns For A New Season | Celebrity Page
The Dallas Cowboys, often named America's Team, touts the most well-known cheerleading squad in the nation.
Dallas Cowboys: Cheerleaders Making The Team has been on the air for 16 years!
The goal is clear -- different women compete to be selected as NFL cheerleaders for the Dallas Cowboys. The selected winners will then appear on the cover of newspapers, calendars and posters.
The director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Kelli Finglass, talked about the difficulty for applicants to even be considered.
"The stats are that of like getting in an Ivy League school, our acceptance rate is like four percent. Imagine hundred of applications and then eventually we invite the select group to Dallas into training camp," Finglass said.
Throughout the years, critics have complained about the sexism that can revolve around cheerleading squads. However, this group of dancers are extremely passionate and driven about what they do.
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Lexie Smith shared that the selection is also focused on making strong women shine.
"They want to bring in women of good character and educated women who have big dreams and big career goals and great jobs. I think that's something really special about our squad and we all bring so much more to the table than just dance," Smith said.
Spectators can witness firsthand how cheerleaders make the team and this new season is no different. Finglass also specified that even if the girls compete for the same goal, true relationships are formed between them.
"Although it is a competition and at the end of the day we're selecting 36 elite dancers from across the country, you see the friendships and the fellowship and the emotion and the support and the inspiration amongst the teammates. It's just a beautiful thing."
New episodes of Dallas Cowboys: Cheerleaders Making The Team air Friday nights on CMT.

Gerard Butler Talks New Film 'Copshop' | Celebrity Page
Bringing even more action to the screen, Gerard Butler is opening up on his new drama, Copshop.
Butler stars as a professional hitman set on a mission to kill a con artist in jail-- a role almost polar opposite to Butler's typical performances. While determined to kill, both the hitman and con artist also become entangled with Louder's character, a rookie cop, bringing the action straight to the police station. Packed with tons of gunfire, explosions, and witty banter amongst the rivals of the film, Copshop doesn't miss a beat of action.
Delving into the film's underlying theme of trust between Butler and Louder's characters specifically, Butler shared how this connection between the cast developed.
"I think we got lucky with how the way there was great chemistry between the characters, and the action fights were not always in the script, those little moments that just happened to appear. All of us were like 'Oh, okay, this is interesting,'" Butler said.
Seeing as how the cast of Copshop shared a relationship that was entertaining on and off screen, Rachel Smith jokingly asked Butler what he would be arrested for if he ever actually found himself in jail.
"It would have to involve some cheating with gambling. Card counting, because you'd at least get some money out of it."
Butler continued on to share that Copshop isn't his first run-in with the law.
I have been arrested in the past and it was for nothing other than being drunk and disorderly, and I never got anything out of it aside from a hangover.
All jokes aside, make sure to catch Gerard Butler in action. Copshop is in theaters now.
