Dancing With the Stars professional Kym Johnson said partner David Arquette is ‘too hard on himself’ and should be more confident. The dancer has already won the show twice before and said she would love to do it for a third time. She said to TVGuide.com: “I would love to defend. That would be incredible to win back to back. “But honestly I don’t really think about that. We’ve got a long road to go before I can even consider it.” Asked what Arquette still needs to work on, she added: “I think he’s too hard on himself, so he’s got to start believing in himself and having that confidence. “With that, I think we could definitely go all the way.”

She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic. She’s like the white Precious.” Speaking to Fox News about Griffin’s comments, Palin said: “The audience’s reaction to this ‘comedian’ spoke volumes, and the decent people I know would probably have booed her, too. “I hope people didn’t have to pay money to hear her negativity and criticisms.”

Bristol Palin lived to dance again as ex-NFL star Kurt Warner was kicked off Dancing With The Stars. Palin, 20, defied her critics to make the semi-finals of the ballroom competition by popular vote despite again receiving the lowest judges’ score of the week. Bristol’s partner Mark Ballas covered his face with his hands as the couple were told they would be staying in the show. Kyle Massey found out first that he had made it into the final four, before Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey joined him. The bottom two of the public vote was singer Brandy and Warner, and in the end the Superbowl MVP was told he had reached the end of the road. Also in the show veteran judge Len Goodman again had his shirt off with a fake tattoo in a comical advert for the show. Earlier in the season the critic had criticized teen activist and single mother Palin for an ‘overly sexy’ rumba which saw her partner, Ballas, tear off her shirt.

Jennifer Grey can still feel Patrick Swayze’s spirit, the Dirty Dancing star claims. Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last year, but Grey says he is still with her as she prepares to compete on Dancing with the Stars. “I feel his presence right now very strongly,” Grey said while appearing on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. “This week especially, because it’s the anniversary of his death. Patrick is the only person I’ve ever actually danced with with before Derek Hough, so it’s a pretty intense sense memory.” The 50-year-old actress also said that she was very moved to receive a message of support from Swayze’s widow Lisa Niemi “She actually sent me an e-mail last week saying that she’s rooting for me and thinking about me,” Grey explained.

Annie — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:36:00 +0000

Audrina Patridge is finding Dancing With The Stars a lot harder than she thought she would. The former Hills star is competing in the new series of the US version of Strictly Come Dancing with partner Tony Dovolani but is finding the training for the show hard and painful. In a new blog for People.com, the 25-year-old wrote: “It’s actually a lot harder than I’d thought but I’m loving every second of it! “Tony and I have been rehearsing for about two and a half weeks so far, and my muscles ache every night.” Patridge added: “The first week I had the worst blisters from getting used to dancing in heels. “Funny thing is now when I get pedicures I tell them not to take the calluses off, I actually want calluses on my feet because then they don’t hurt as much when I’m dancing.” DWTS premieres later today in the US.

Shannen Doherty Talks Nicole Scherzinger

Annie — Fri, 28 May 2010 18:12:25 +0000

Dancing with the Stars contestant Shannen Doherty thinks that Pussycat Dolls singer and season 10 champion Nicole Scherzinger had a bit of an unfair advantage on the show. After all, Nicole is a professional performer. The actress said “Nicole’s an amazing dancer and singer. So it’s hard to compete with that. Yeah, you know…whatever. In the long run, it’s up to the fans. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over there.” I agree with Shannen. Nicole sings and dances for a living so of course she will deliver great performances. Everyone else is at a definite disadvantage. The producers of the show should really think about that next time they consider the cast.

Nicole Scherzinger wows judges on Dancing With The Stars’ movie-themed night

Annie — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:57:10 +0000

Nicole Scherzinger wowed the judges on Dancing With The Stars’ movie-themed night.

The Pussycat Dolls star topped the leaderboard with her tango inspired by the classic Julia Roberts and Richard Gere film Pretty Woman, scoring 10s from both Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli and a nine from Len Goodman.

Scherzinger and her partner Derek Hough showed how they got in the mood before the performance – filming themselves shopping in Beverly Hills for outfits.

The movie theme also played to the talents of Pamela Anderson and her dance partner Damien Whitehead. Despite wearing her most conservative outfit to date, Pam’s likeness to Dolly Parton was obvious as she performed the quickstep to the theme from 9 to 5.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was so impressed she told the Baywatch beauty she could perform on Broadway.

Sanjaya wants on Dancing with the Stars

Annie — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:19:06 +0000

All of the hardcore American Idol fans must remember Sanjaya… he was one of the good ones, a real classic among classics. Well, he’s back and he’s aiming high yet again as now he wants to be on Dancing with the Stars. This is what Sanjaya said on the matter: “The only other reality show I’d consider would be Dancing with the Stars. I would totally do it because I love the show and I’ve always loved to dance, but I’ve never really had training — so I think it would be fun to be put in that situation! I wouldn’t care which partner I had, I just would want someone who was a really great choreographer because I’ve never really been trained…but I have a grasp of dance.” Well Sanjaya has probably never really been trained in the art of song as well, but nonetheless he managed to dazzle everybody… he will probably put Dancing with the Stars on the entertainment map.
