It’s supposedly splitsville for oft-temperamental actor and heartthrob Russell Crowe and wife Danielle Spencer.

Coco DeWitt — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:01:15 +0000

Doesn’t it seem like this season of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ has a lot more talented performers on display than normal? And by “talented,” of course we really mean “muscled.” Chehon Wespi-Tschopp — the ballerino who was born in Chicago, raised in Switzerland and has worked in NYC — is our prime example of this talent.

It’s not a complete shocker that Donald Driver, the graceful football player from the Green Bay Packers, took home the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ winners trophy Tuesday night.

Athletes in general tend to outperform the other C- to D-list celeb competitors on the show, and why wouldn’t they? Driver, like many of the previous sports-centric performers, has the immense pecs, rippling biceps and ideal athlete’s build that the competition requires.

There’s usually a thick blanket of anxiety that sweeps over contestants and audience members alike when the results portion of the show comes about.

After last week’s classic night on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ one would think that it can’t get any more difficult before they begin the semi-finals.

Dancing With The Stars Review: Classical Night

Melissa Molina — Tue, 01 May 2012 20:13:38 +0000

After dealing with Motown Night, ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ decided to crank up the intensity and challenge the dancers even more with Classical Night.

Shauna Wright — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:03:41 +0000

After last week’s parade of rainbow ruffles on Latin Night, it was time to focus on the Motor City as ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ did its version of a Motown Night.

We started with what can only be described as Zombie Smokey Robinson (seriously, what the hell happened to his face?!), who was joined by Martha Reeves and the Temptations doing a medley of songs everyone over the age of five should be required to know.

On Monday night, Latin and the ballroom came together in one big explosion of fringe and ruffles and male shirtlessness. But who didn’t share their respective bon-bons quite hard enough?

Shauna Wright — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:54:17 +0000

Rock Week continued on Tuesday’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ elimination, when Kiss did yet another live performance and one contestant hung up their dancing shoes for good.

'Dancing with the Stars' – Who Went Home? [SPOILER, VIDEO]

Shauna Wright — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:01:24 +0000

Tuesday nights bring doom for the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestants, because one has to turn in their sequins and watch the rest of the competition from home (or at least from a chair in the audience). Who was this season’s first casualty? After an obligatory filler routine by the ‘DWTS’ pros, hosts Tom Bergeron [...]

After last week’s revelation that none of this season’s performers on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ are mock-worthy, about all we can do now is cheer for our favorites (or, for the snarkier among us, at least hope someone has an off-week). Host Tom Bergeron reminded us that we were LIIIIVE, and Brooke Burke-Charvet was wearing [...]
