The jokes were already wearing thin, and the even thinner figure of actress Calista Flockhart was starting to get stale. So, producers for Ally McBeal decided to beef things up by bringing in always-in-trouble actor Robert Downey, jr. Instead, Downey just brought on more headaches, by being busted once again for drug possession. Ah, but not everything is lost. The series will have a powerful new weapon, at least for a short time: Chayanne. Yep, you read right. The Puerto Rican singer, actor, dancer is scheduled to appear in the series early next year, sharing scenes with actress Portia de Rossi, who plays Nelle. According to news reports, Chayanne will play a dance instructor by the name of Mr. Bo. The two episodes in which the Dance With Me star will show up are scheduled to air on January 22 and February 5. But that's not all coming our way from Chayanne: the artist will also be releasing early next year his first English/Spanish single, Alive.
