While fans are gearing up for the next season of Dancing with the Stars, one familiar name will no longer be on the roster of professional dancers. Maksim Chmerkovskiy has announced that he’s taking a break.

A spokesperson says he just needed a break but will definitely be back. Maksim was a fan favorite, dancing with Laila Ali and Mel B.

Keep your eyes and ears open to see if he’ll return for Season Seven.

Not only did she make us look at her dressed like a doll…now she wants us to actually BUY her dolls?!

Kids will be lining up to buy a Marie Osmond Dancing-inspired doll from QVC. Dolls debut on November 29 at 6 p.m. There are four in the collection, each sporting an outfit that Marie wore on the show.

There’s the Boogie Woogie doll, the Paso Doble doll, the Quickstep doll, and the Freestyle doll from the season finale. There were two other dolls, the Samba doll and the Fox Trot dall, but both sold out previously.

Aww, Mom, can I have one for Christmas? Pleeeeaaassse? Yeah, right. I have no desire to encourage Marie’s shameless self promotion.

It’s been a while since any of us have watched the girls traipsing around Beverly Hills, but we still love them. True 90210 fans are thrilled to see Jennie Garth (Kelly) whirling around this season’s Dancing With the Stars.

Back in the day, Brenda and Kelly weren’t the best of friends. Now, Shannen Doherty says she is happy for Jennie’s success on the show. “She is amazing,” Shannen tells People. “Ian (Ziering - who played Steve on 90210) did great on it, and now Jennie is doing great.”

Shannen has no plans to follow in her former costar’s dancing shoes, though. Although she was offered a spot in the show’s first season, Shannen says she isn’t a “big fan of being judged.”

She does, however, make plans every week to tune in and see how Jennie is doing. Shannen is proud of her willingness to keep on keepin’ on. “We’re TV actors. We’re not used to performing live,” Shannen says. “(Jennie’s) got to nail it the first time perfectly. I admire people that can do that. I’m not one of them.”
