WITH SEASON 11 OF “DANCING WITH THE STARS” IN FULL SWING, WE DECIDED IT’S TIME TO LOOK BACK ON ALL THE CELEBS WHO WALTZES FROM THE SHOW’S FIRST TEN SEASONS.
“DANCING” HIT THE AIRWAVES IN THE SUMMER OF 2005 WITH JUST SIX CONTESTANTS.
“GENERAL HOSPITAL” STAR KELLY MONACO CAME OUT ON TOP, BECOMING THE FIRST – AND SO FAR ONLY – FULL-TIME ACTOR TO CLAIM THE MIRROR BALL TROPHY.
5 OF THE 10 “DANCING” CHAMPS SO FAR COME FROM THE SPORTS WORLD – INCLUDING THREE GOLD MEDALISTS… APOLO OHNO, KRISTI YAMAGUCHI AND SHAWN JOHNSON.
FUNNYWOMAN MARGARET CHO WAS MORE OF A PUNCHLINE THIS SEASON, BUT MAYBE WE SHOULDN’T BE SURPRISED. COMEDIANS HAVE NEVER BEEN THE BEST IN THE BALLROOM.
PENN JILLETTE AND ROAST MASTER JEFFREY ROSS BOTH WERE THE FIRST TO GET THE BOOT DURING THEIR SEASONS, AND ADAM CAROLLA DIDN’T DO MUCH BETTER.
AND IN CASE YOU THINK COMBINING SPORTS AND COMEDY IS A POTENTIAL FORMULA FOR DANCE STARDOM… WE GIVE YOU KENNY MAYNE. THE ESPN JOKESTER WAS THE FIRST TO GO IN SEASON 2.
OTHER DANCIN’ CELEBS YOU MIGHT NOT REMEMBER FROM THE FIRST TEN SEASONS? HOW ABOUT “MAKE ‘EM SAY UHH” RAPPER MASTER P… TALK SHOW HOST JERRY SPRINGER… STEVE-O – WHAT A JACKASS…
AND A CERTAIN MS. KARDASHIAN.
SO WHO WILL WIN THIS YEAR? WILL IT BE ANOTHER SPORT-O, RICK FOX OR KURT WARNER? OR WILL A REALITY STAR LIKE “THE SITUATION” OR AUDRINA PATRIDGE TAKE HOME THE MIRROR BALL? TUNE IN ALL FALL ON ABC TO FIND OUT.
BRISTOL PALIN MAY NEED HER MOTHER’S HELP TO GET MORE VOTES AFTER A MISERABLE PERFORMANCE ON MONDAY NIGHT’S DANCING WITH THE STARS.
IT WAS STORY-TELLING NIGHT, AND BRISTOL PALIN, WHO’S BILLED AS A “TEEN ACTIVIST” ON THE SHOW, USED THE FOX TROT TO SPIN HER TALE…
BUT THE JUDGES WERE NOT IMPRESSED…
“I told you last week to take a chance and this week you did and I don't like it that much…It's just too contemporary for my taste."
Carrie Ann Inaba -- praised Bristol for her movement, but said the story didn't make it for her….
Bruno -- "You're not Meryl Streep...yet! You've got to feel it and we've got to see it..Show it to me baby!"
Scores – 19/30
WE’LL FIND OUT TUESDAY NIGHT IF BRISTOL WILL LIVE TO DANCE ANOTHER DAY…AND WITH THE NEWS THAT SUSAN BOYLE WON’T BE PERFORMING ON THE SHOW, GUESS WHO’S STEPPING IN – MICHAEL BOLTON. SHOULD BE INTERESTING!
FOR CELEBTV.COM, I’M BESSIE TSIONIS.
DID DANCING WITH THE STARS SAVE JENNIFER GREY’S LIFE?
YOU MIGHT SAY BABY’S DANCED HERSELF OUTTA THE CORNER AND INTO THE SPOTLIGHT ON THIS SEASON’S “DANCING WITH THE STARS”
BUT NOW JENNIFER GREY REVEALS TO GMA HOW SHE HAS THE REALITY SHOW TO THANK FOR HELPING HER GET HEALTHY.
GREY SAYS A 1987 CAR ACCIDENT WITH THEN BOYFRIEND MATTHEW BRODERICK LEFT 2 PEOPLE DEAD AND HER IN CHRONIC PAIN
SO WHEN DWTS CAME CALLING, GREY WENT TO spine specialist dr. Robert gray TO SEE IF HE COULD MAKE HER FEEL BETTER
WHILE PERFORING SURGERY, DOCTORS ALSO FOUND CANCER, WHICH happily, WAS DETECTED EARLY AND ALLOWED HER TO MAKE JER DANCING COMEBACK
I survived an accident that left 2 people dead I felt like my ambition was shut down.//i do feel the movement towards joy in spite of the fear was an important shift for me.
BET MICHAEL BOLTON WISHES HE STAYED IN THE DOG HOUSE…
Michael Dance – comes out of doghouse…
Judges ripping on him – worst jive we’ve ever had on this show…
THE MUSICIAN WASN’T THAT SURPRISED TO GET THE AX ON DANCING WITH THE STARS…
The couple leaving tonight is Michael and Chelsea – music – awww…
…BUT HE WAS CLEARLY DISAPPOINTED
ALTHOUGH THE ELIMINATION WAS CLEARLY NOT THE HOT TOPIC ON THE SHOW…NOPE… EVERYONE WANTED TO KNOW THE REAL DEAL BEHIND BOO-GATE…
“When you got your scores from the judges, everyone was booing, controversy in the press…show you alternate camera angle… 8-8-8—they’re booing us!!! …. Now Sarah Palin ballroom commentator Sarah Palin…Tom says, to put the final nail in the coffin of Boo gate, Sarah Palin. Told me she was surprised because she was booing you guys too. So there! There!”
WELL GLAD WE GOT THAT CLEARED UP! TUNE IN NEXT WEEK WHEN THE STARS HAVE TELL A STORY IN THEIR PERFORMANCE.
Michael Bolton and The Situation fail to deliver during the second week of Dancing with the Stars, while Jennifer Grey and Audrina Patridge hold the top spots.
REMEMBER THE MOVIE OFFICE SPACE? WELL, IN IT, THEY CALL MICHAEL BOLTON A – QUOTE – “NO-TALENT ASS CLOWN.”
AND WITH THAT, I GIVE YOU THIS…
MICHAEL’S PERFORMANCE WAS SURELY THE LOWLIGHT OF THE NIGHT, BUT THEN THERE WAS “THE SITUATION” – THE JERSEY SHORE GUIDO LEFT THE FIST PUMP AT HOME… BUT SINCE THAT’S THE ONLY DANCE MOVE HE’S PERFECTED, THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM.
AS FOR THE GOOD, “THE HILLS” STAR AUDRINA PARTRIDGE HAD THE SECOND-HIGHEST SCORE OF THE NIGHT AND JENNIFER GRAY CONTINUED TO LOOK LIKE THE FRONT-RUNNER FOR THE SEASON.
FINALLY, IN A LITTLE BIT OF NETWORK SYNERGY, “THE BACHELOR” HOST CHRIS HARRISON WAS IN THE WITH FORMER BACHELOR BRAD WOMACK TO TO ANNOUNCE WHO WILL BE BACK TO TAKE ANOTHER RUN AT FINDING A WIFE VIA REALITY TV…
TUNE IN TUESDAY NIGHT ON ABC TO SEE WHO’S LEAVING THE BALLROOM.
ALASKA’S MOST FAMOUS RESIDENT SHIMMIED HER WAY ON TO DANCING WITH THE STARS – AND LIKE ANY TEENAGER, BRISTOL SEEMED A LITTLE EMBARRASSED BY HER MOM.
SARAH PALIN WAS FRONT AND CENTER FOR HER DAUGHTER’S SECOND-WEEK PERFORMANCE.
BUT BEFORE THEY HIT THE STAGE, BRISTOL AND HER DANCE PARTNER, MARK BALLAS, VISITED ALASKA – AND THAT GAVE THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL A CHANCE TO SHOW OFF HER OWN MOVES.
THE 19-YEAR-OLD MOM IS ONE OF 11 REMAINING CONTESTANTS ON DANCING WITH THE STARS, AND SHE DID PRETTY WELL MONDAY NIGHT. FIND OUT WHO MIGHT BE LEAVING THE SHOW NEXT, CHECK OUT CELEBTV.COM’S RECAP OF MONDAY NIGHT’S SHOW.
On Tuesday’s elimination show, Chris Daughtry and Carlos Santana sang for the crowd -- and made their picks for who would walk away with the mirror-ball trophy.
THE 11TH SEASON OF “DANCING WITH THE STARS” IS IN FULL SWING AND THAT MEANS EVERYONE’S GOT AN OPINION ON WHO’S GONNA LIFT THE MIRRORBALL TROPHY – INCLUDING ROCK STARS
TUESDAY’S FIRST ELIMINATION SHOW FEATURED PERFORMANCES FROM SANTANA – INCLUDING DUETS WITH INDIA.ARIE AND DAUGHTRY.
LIKE OTHER “DANCING” FANS, BOTH ROCKERS HAVE A TOP PICK FOR THIS SEASON.
GOOD TO KNOW, GUYS. BUT IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME WORK TO BEAT OUT MISS DIRTY DANCING HERSELF, JENNIFER GREY.
DESPITE REPEATED WARNINGS, AMERICA HASSLED WITH THE HOFF. AND NOW WE MIGHT NEVER GET TO SEE THIS AGAIN…
EVEN AFTER THAT *FASCINATING* PERFORMANCE MONDAY NIGHT, DAVID HASSELHOFF FOUND HIMSELF IN THE BOTTOM TWO. IT CAME DOWN TO THE HOFF OR “THAT’S SO RAVEN” STAR KYLE MASSEY.
“It’s been a great ride… I feel bad for Kym because she worked hard trying to get me where I was going. I'm so proud that my daughters are here and they got to see me come this far."
NO WORD JUST YET ON RUMORS THAT DAVID, HIS PARTNER KYM JOHNSON AND THE GIRLS WENT OUT AND DROWNED THEIR SORROWS OVER CHEESEBURGERS…
THE NEW SEASON OF “DANCING WITH STARS” CONTINUES NEXT WEEK ON ABC.
Susan Boyle won’t be showing off her pipes on Dancing with the Stars anytime soon.
