Dancing with the Stars

By Missy More returning dancers: Kathy & Tony, Macy & Jonathan, and Debi & Maks. The song goes on and on, and it makes me wonder the eternal question: who’s that lady? Their dances are followed by a package about how the flu hit many, dancers and celebrities alike. Final Dances!

By The Disney Chick Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson – Cha Cha Cha: This week, Bruno and Donny were reunited in the rehearsal studio. “You’re not doing Vegas, you’re doing Dancing with the Stars,” Bruno explained. I wasn’t aware there was much of a difference. Donny does seem to be profiting from Bruno’s advice on sm...

By Michael Pascua Encore - Joanna & Derek - Paso Doble - Len thought that even though Mya had the higher score, the paso was so detailed that it deserved the encore. The two actually looked better with their hair tonight than last night; I could tell that it was them. On the second time around, I believed that...

By monkseal Aaron Carter & Karina Smirnoff dancing the Argentine Tango : I’m still kind of in awe of Carrie Ann’s criticism basically being “you’re a douche and nobody likes you, because you try way too hard”. Maybe we should instill some of that psychiatrist’s couch level criticism over here – “R...

Well, even though I predicted a shocking elimination last week, it doesn't mean I wasn't shocked when lovely Natalie was eliminated! Now, this week two will go, and the question is this: Will it be the two who are clearly weaker dancers than the other seven? Or will the DWtS audience once ag...

By monkseal Louie Vito & Chelsie Hightower dancing the country two-step : Speaking of which, good grief Charlie Brown he barely even walked in time. Honestly I think this was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen, because she gave him precious little to do, and he didn’t do any of it right. Whi...

By Missy Aaron & Karina – Argentine Tango – Last week, Carrie Ann told him to chill out; his desperation makes him hard to watch. This week, he has to tackle another sexy dance, but there’s still nothing sexy about him. Karina brought in some friends to show Aaron the manly moves, and it made Aaron a...

By Missy Mixing up the results process once again, the three lowest scoring male celebrities are onstage. In no particular order, we’ll find out if they’re safe or in jeopardy. Tom & Cheryl are safe (way to go, America). Michael & Anna are in jeopardy. Chuck & Anna are safe. But will Tom be ab...

By Missy It’s Monday night, and you know what that means! Well, actually, it means it’s adult night down at the local roller rink, where I can roller boogie like it’s 1983. But now that I’m home from that, it’s time for Dancing with the Stars! Tonight the celebrities will be dancing either the Rumba or...

Paula Abdul was in the "Dancing with the Stars" audience next to former competitor Lance Bass, but only to observe with the rest of the live audience. The final determination as to who gets eliminated this week falls to female - and male - amateur judges, all voting at home.

By turbotodd But when I heard Tom Delay was going to be joining the TV show “Dancing with the Stars,” (hereafter known in this post as DWTS), I had to check it out. As to why he’s appearing on “Dancing with the Stars,” I suppose you could ask any variety of the celebrities that question who have appeared on th...

By Paul Murphy So I’m watching TV on Monday. It’s the first night of the new season of one of my favorite shows, “Dancing With the Stars.” This show, as most of you probably know, is a dancing reality-type show in which a bunch of athletes and b-list celebrities are paired up with professional ballroom dance...

By John Frost Ladies and Gentlemen strap on your dancing shoes, another season of Dancing With the Stars is right around the corner. A new slate of celebrities, some more worth celebrating than others, has just been announced. So without any further ado, here they are:

Donny Osmond: Oh. Ma. Gah! Total ringer, but I don't care. Sure, I went more for David Cassidy, but Donny still looks pretty damn good. Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay: As the little girl in Strictly Ballroom would say: "Well, that was unexpected."

I had high expectations for last night's Dancing with the Stars finale. The best three dancers actually made it to the end, and each of them has had moments this season when it was hard to tell apart from the pros. This should have been the best finale ever!

By Mark Baker And then there were three. Yep, we’re down to the finals of season 8 of Dancing with the Stars. I’m in the camp that says Gilles is the front runner, but he is going to have stiff competition from Melissa and Shawn. This really could be anyone’s trophy, still. As a reminder, we get to watch [...]

By Mark Baker Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani - They considered their Foxtrot and Samba their break through dances. Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke - They chose their Foxtrot from last week and week five’s Paso Doble to review. So, finally to the Ballroom round.

Each couple had to do one ballroom dance and one Latin dance last night. Am I the only one confused that a Paso Doble is a Latin dance, while the Tango is a ballroom dance? Confusion aside, doing one from each kind of dance was bound to put the contestants' strengths and weaknesses on full displ...

Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars has shaped up to be a pretty good year. Even those stars with limited dance skills have had charm and appeal. This year there is no Billy Ray Cyrus or Jerry Springer to drive me crazy with their inexplicably long stays on the show. It's oddly heartwarming to see t...

Last week I thought Lil Kim's surprise tango got lost in all the salivating over Gille. This week it would have been hard for Lil Kim to live up to her Tango, and she didn't quite. But she did do a really nice job. She showed that she could be more than a sharp, fiery dancer, she could also be an elegan...

Sometimes you watch TV and it makes you want to get up and dance! Other times, it makes you want to stay on the couch and watch other people do all the work - which makes "Dancing With The Stars" a success. The ABC reality hit has thrown a twist into ...

 OH Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke: I don't know who decided to dance a quickstep to the rock song "Kryptonite," but it was a stroke of genius! The unusual song choice was a make-or-break move, but Cheryl pulled it off with stellar choreo, ...

By Kimberly Mauck Look, it's an elite weight-loss program! No, it's a resuscitator for a dying career! No, it's Dancing with the Stars! Tonight, a defensive linebacker glided across a dance floor with a Polish (self-proclaimed) seductress spinning around him, a Wild Thing cried and apologized repeate...

I think Brooke is the most technically sound of the celebrities and she’s a beautiful dancer.” Source “Dancing with the Stars” may be losing one of its best dancers.  Julianne Hough is say

By Mark Baker 1. Brooke - 55 2. Warren - 54 3. Lance - 50 4. Cody - 48 4. Maurice - 48 Encore: I’m really beginning to think that my gal Brooke will never get an encore.  While she and Warren tied in the Ballroom round, my guess is they will want to see his Tango over hers even though it should be the other way around.

Instead, they’ve added the two rankings together the following week, meaning that this week’s votes and scores do count. They haven’t told us that for sure yet...
