Who would think that there was an entertaining way to combine genealogy and celebrity? And yet that's exactly what "Who Do You Think You Are?" has managed.

This seven-episode DVD of the NBC show is our latest giveaway. You'll get nearly 300 minutes of history and family tree-shaking news, featuring the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Emmitt Smith, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Broderick, Brooke Shields, Susan Sarandon and Spike Lee.  The episodes take you from the Salem witch trials to the shores of Benin. Not a bad journey.

Plus, to bring the whole thing to life, we're throwing in a copy of "Who Do You Think You Are? Be a Family Tree Detective," an interactive book you can share with your kids. It's got great illustrations, and things to open, lift and pull-out to teach genealogy in an engaging way.

Interested? Send an email by midnight (12/9) and we'll have a random drawing. It's a great way to see what's shaking in your family tree!
 

Happiness had a chance to talk to "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer Mark Ballas today. He's coming to town soon as part of "Burn the Floor" at the Progress Energy Center, for a limited engagement starting Nov. 30.

We talked about that show, but we had to ask him some DWTS questions too.  It's elimination night, after all. A few excerpts from our chat:

On people who don't believe his partner Bristol Palin should still be in the competition: "I don't care what people say. I like to be positive, and keep an upbeat attitude. It's a dance show, not a political argument. Bristol is a 19-year-old, plucked out of Alaska. She's the only one on the show who is not an entertainer. She's the most normal person. People watch and say 'You know, if I was on the show, that's how it would be for me.' I've had people come up to me and say 'I'm 100 percent Democrat and I vote for Bristol because she's the most relatable.'
