‘Dancing With the Stars’ returned Monday, and Prevention magazine notes that several of the female contestants -- Gladys Knight, Sherri Shepherd, Melissa Gilbert, Martina Navratilova -- are over 40. The magazine asked host Brooke Burke if she thinks this gives them an advantage. Yes, said Burke, who turned 40 herself last September. ‘In general, I think women are more comfortable in their skin as they get to know themselves better and become more confident. They have more life experience, which certainly comes into play in this competition.’ [Prevention]

In a ‘behind the scenes’ video, see Sarah Jessica Parker wear her jacket on her head with a tiara, one woman fall off a pair of sky-high platform shoes and Roitfeld dress like the inimitable Coco Chanel herself.
