Dancing with the Stars

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) The ninth season of Dancing with the Stars was a complete bore, but at least viewers could take comfort in one fact: Mya would be named a deserving champion, as the singer was as impressive as any contestant in recent memory.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Mya earned two perfect scores on last night's Dancing with the Stars finale. Tonight, meanwhile, she's destined to earn one crystal ball trophy.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Already boring, Dancing with the Stars has now gotten a lot uglier. Joanna Krupa was somehow voted off the show this week, despite ranking second on the show's leaderboard following Monday night's performance show.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Must ABC even air the finals of Dancing with the Stars? This is what the leaderboard looked like after all was said, done and danced last night: Mya & Dmitry Chapin: 87Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough: 81Kelly Osbourne & Louis van Amstel: 78Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson: 74

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) The worst season of Dancing with the Stars is down to five contestants. Finally, following weeks of poor performances, Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos were given the boot last night. The former was gracious upon learning of his fate, saying:

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough: 55Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff: 53Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson: 52Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel: 52Mya and Dmitry Chaplin: 49Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova: 47Mark Dacascos and Anna Trebunskaya: 43

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) With the exception of Mya, our staff would have been happy with pretty much any contestant getting eliminated this week on Dancing with the Stars. Two more contestants will be eliminated next week, and we have just one plea to make to America:

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Dancing With the Stars bid farewell to two celebrities this week, each for very different reasons. First, Natalie Coughlin was given the boot, as America continues to support awful dancer Michael Irvin for some reason. Meanwhile, Dancing with the Stars said goodbye to Michael Jackson in...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) But no amount of hotness could save the contestant from elimination last night on Dancing with the Stars. Following performances by Joss Stone, Selena Gomez and the USC Marching Band, host Tom Bergeron narrowed the field to 13 quasi celebrities by sending the beauty home. She took it well,...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) On the first results show of its ninth season, Dancing with the Stars sent a pair of celebrities home. Dancing With the Stars did right by his memory, gathering a slew of professionals to recreate a few of Swayze's most memorable on-screen moves. Watch the video below:

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Patrick Swayze, who passed away this week at the age of 57, appeared on the first season of Dancing with the Stars. He showed up for an episode and helped friend John O’Hurley learn a few moves. Therefore, in honor of the actor, the ABC series will honor his memory on September 23.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Mark Ballas is partners with Melissa Joan Hart on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. “It’s having the will to want to learn and she definitely has that,” he told People. “And she’s improved so much since we started.

Check each out now and let us know who you're cheering for when Dancing with the Stars returns on September 21: Dancing with the Stars Introductions, Part 2

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) On the competition: I think this season's tough because there's no clear front-runner. It's exciting because it can be anyone's game and we're all putting in a lot of work. At the end, I think it'll really be a true victory for any of these celebrities. He and I work a lot of hours during the day, s...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) The two actually worked together years ago, as Grier played a prominent role on the sketch comedy show In Living Color, while Inaba was a dancer - or "Fly Girl" - on the program. But that relationship didn't exactly prevent the actor from going off.

By steve@floridahomeloan.com (LC Lover) And the list goes on: Dancing with the Stars' Julianne Hough got a boost to her fledgling country music career; Mario Lopez was tabbed to host Extra. It's a time when the business is contracting and opportunities for a lot of celebrities are disappearing," the insider said.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) While Melissa Rycroft continues to garner headlines for her performances on Dancing with the Stars, Gilles Marini - along with partner Cheryl Burke - sits atop the leaderboard after two weeks of the show. How does the French actor feel about that? He recently spoke to TV Guide:

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Young fans of Dancing with the Stars may not be familiar with Belinda Carlisle... but they soon will be! The former lead singer of The Go-Gos is paired with Jonathon Roberts on the new season. She recently spoke to TV Guide about the show:

By steve@floridahomeloan.com (LC Lover) Think again, says the gorgeous Julianne Hough of Dancing with the Stars, who has no reservations about giving her opinion on who she'd like to see on next season's cast. Her first choice ... Another option? Former American Idol contestant and current country artist Kellie Pickler, who's fri...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Julianne Hough might be a popular celebrity. But she had no idea why so many people left messages of congratulations on her phone last week. Therefore, when Hough's publicist, informed the 20-year-old dancer/singer that she was nominated for outstanding choreography for Dancing with t...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Probst Fan) Did you find last season's Dancing With the Stars champion, Kristi Yamaguchi, too bland for reality television. While ABC entertainment chief Steve McPherson says the former Olympic ice skater wasn't solely to blame, he is on the lookout for more exciting contestants.

By Probst Fan She also claims she’s the woman responsible for breaking up former Dancing with the Stars couple Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, telling E! that she and Lopez carried on a secret romance for almost a year while he dated Smirnoff. Meagan Cooper says she had an affair with Mario Lopez during...

By Probst Fan Mark Ballas and Derek Hough partied the night away with friends in Las Vegas Friday night, the former celebrating his 22nd birthday - and Dancing with the Stars title this season - while the latter was honored for turning 23 on May 17. Mark Ballas and Derek Hough: Good dancers, great friends.

By Probst Fan Did you think Hough and Elizabeth were out of line with their reactions? Following their tirade against the judges Monday night - despite receiving a flurry of 8’s - Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were the subject of harsh words from others associated with Dancing with the Stars last n...

By Probst Fan It’s okay, Shannon Elizabeth: even if you lose Dancing with the Stars, you’ll always have a mediocre movie career on which you can fall back. Remember Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? Priscilla Presley may have been the contestant voted off Dancing with the Stars this week. But a pair of other...

By Probst Fan What do you think? Is is fair for Yamaguchi to be on the show? Recently eliminated Dancing with the Stars contestant Steve Guttenberg appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Tuesday night. True to form, the actor was genial and gracious. “I think there’s so many talented people on it — that’s wha...

By Probst Fan Pretty soon, we’re gonna have to start separating Kristi Yamaguchi from the rest of the contestants on Dancing with the Stars. We’ll have to start awarding a Best Non-Kristi honor every week, considering how well this former ice skating champion is doing on the show.

By LC Lover “I think it’s so early in the show, I was definitely at a disadvantage because I have no acting experience and this show is about being a dancer and an actress,” Seles said during a Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance that followed her elimination from Dancing with the Stars the previous evening.

By LC Lover Also, the rep says, Cheryl Burke “spends Tuesday night choreographing her routines in her apartment.” In any case, an ABC source says it’s not against the rules for the dancers to use outside help, so it doesn’t really matter. Just interesting. Think all those performances on Dancing with t...
