Heading into Monday’s performance finale on Season 14 of Dancing With the Stars, it was anybody’s game . Heading into the final results show, it still is! The most evenly-matched final three in history lived up to that billing, finishing within a single point of each other after six great routines. Let’s revisit them all, shall we? William Levy & Cheryl Burke – Cha Cha Cha (DWTS Week 10) Head judge Len Goodman said that William Levy’s show-opening cha-cha was as good as any he has seen in 14 seasons. He got a 30 for it. Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas – Paso Doble (DWTS Week 10) There was no less love for Katherine Jenkins’ paso doble, which Len said was “full of tasty tidbits to tickle your taste buds.” Crickets . 30. Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd – Argentine Tango (DWTS Week 10) Donald Driver fell short – by a single point – in merely scraping together 10s from Bruno and Carrie Ann Inaba for his Argentine tango. William Levy & Cheryl Burke – Freestyle (DWTS Week 10) In the lift-happy freestyle round, William and Cheryl Burke’s tango / samba / salsa whatever earned them a 29 for a total of 59 Monday. Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas – Freestyle (DWTS Week 10) Mark Ballas hit the jackpot with the swing routine he crafted for Katherine, sweeping her (and the judges) off their feet for another 30. Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd – Freestyle (DWTS Week 10) Peta Murgatroyd literally bled for her freestyle. She got knocked in the face by her beefy partner during rehearsal, but rallied for a 29. The scores after Monday’s performance finale, which will account for half the overall scores this evening along with America’s votes: Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas (30, 30): 60 William Levy & Cheryl Burke (30, 29): 59 Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd (29, 30): 59 Yup. Basically, it’s all your votes to decide this one. Who should win Dancing With the Stars?
Rihanna recently obtained a new tattoo of a tiny cross, pictured in a slanted position on her left collarbone. It’s her 16th tattoo overall, according to reports! The ink artist, Bang Bang, posted a black and white photo of his creation: “New #cross #tattoo I put on @rihanna last night,” he Tweeted (below). Rihanna, 24, got herself inked on March 15 in New York from her preferred tattoo artiste. Bang Bang is the creator of most of the singer’s tattoos. He says they decided to put the latest mark on the R&B star’s collarbone “because it’s easy to hide with a necklace but also can be in plain sight.” Why does a woman need so many tattoos in the first place? Who cares, it’s fun. “She always flips out [when it’s done] and jumps up and down like a 16-year-old girl getting her first car,” Bang Bang said. Some other notable Rihanna tattoos include: The word “Shhh” on her right forefinger The phrase “Rebelle Fleur” on the left side of her neck The words ” Thug Life ,” inspired by slain rapper Tupac, on her knuckles
Tim Tebow is out as the starting quarterback in Denver, as the Broncos are on the verge of inking Peyton Manning to a contract . The former Heisman Trophy winner may soon be sent to Jacksonville, but Jockey wants Tebow to know he’ll always have a job as a model, even if he fails as a successful signal caller. Despite the uncertain status of its most famous client, the clothing company has issued the following statement: “Jockey brought Tim Tebow on as a spokesperson before he took his first professional snap and even before he finalized his contract with an NFL team. Jockey supports him 100% and we look forward to continuing our great relationship with Tim.” What do you think the Broncos should do?
The great thing about Dancing With the Stars is that it barely even matters who’s been cast on it once the action begins: Case in point: Katherine Jenkins. Scoring 26 out of a possible 30 with partner Mark Ballas, she may not be the best known celeb this season, but she may also be among the most talented. The Welsh singer donned a canary yellow gown for the Season 14 premiere , likely winning over millions of viewers with her looks, personality AND talent. It was after Katherine and Mark’s foxtrot that Tom decided “This is my favorite premiere, start to finish, we’ve ever done.” That says it all, doesn’t it? Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas – Foxtrot (DWTS Week 1)
Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas are young, hot, newly single stars – she split with Jay Cutler, he broke up with Pia Toscano – who dance suggestively. Let the dating rumors begin! “That s––t’s already started,” Ballas said, laughing off the rumors that he’s doing the horizontal mambo with Cavallari. “She is a sweetheart. We have a lot of fun.” “We both laugh a lot. We’re getting along great.” Cavallari, whose engagement to Jay Cutler just ended this summer, has no problems with people speculating that she and Ballas are more than partners. “I kind of expected [the dating rumors], to be honest,” she says . “That’s just what happens when you put two people together.” All celebrity gossip aside, the dancing duo is excited about what the season holds in the ballroom. Says Mark, after this week’s DWTS results : “I’m really proud of her so far. We’re focusing on the routines and making the best performances for our fans. We’re really grateful to them for voting for us.”
Mark Ballas is paired with Kristin Cavallari on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars and there#39;s little doubt rumors will soon surface over whether or not she played a role in this split. Toscano, meanwhile, will release her debut album this fall. The reality show romance between Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas has come to an end. The ballroom guru and the American Idol finalist – who started dating soon after the latter was shockingly eliminated from season 10 – “both decided with ev
A week ago, Kirstie Alley fell to the floor, only to make a full recovery on Dancing With the Stars. Unfortunately, she suffered another mishap last night. This time, it was a footwear malfunction. Kirstie and Maksim Chmerkovskiy had to fight through more adversity as Alley’s left shoe fell off in mid-waltz. Just like the previous week, they recovered well enough to earn a respectable score – 22 out of 30 – plus sympathy and respect from fans and judges. Kirstie Alley Loses Shoe on Dancing With the Stars “You didn’t miss a beat,” said Carrie Ann Inaba. Bruno Tonioli agreed, while Len Goodman was less impressed, pointing out the need for improvement. Still, we’d be surprised if Kirstie and Maks were in jeopardy after a second straight week of bouncing back strongly from a somewhat freakish setback. Another gal who should be safe? Disney starlet Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas, whose Viennese waltz earned them the top score of the night at 26. Watch it, and check out the full scoreboard, after the jump … Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas – DWTS Week 4 That put them just ahead of the Hines Ward and Kym Johnson and Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff. Both of those couples notched scores of 25. Len grumbled about Chelsea’s unorthodox choreography, but technically, the judges could not deny that Kane’s was the best dance of the night. At the bottom of the heap and definitely at risk of elimination tonight are Kendra Wilkinson and Louis van Amstel, who bombed with an 18. Here’s last night’s scoreboard … Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas: 26 Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff: 25 Hines Ward and Kym Johnson: 25 Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke: 23 Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin: 23 Romeo and Chelsie Hightower: 23 Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 22 Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskya: 21 Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel: 18 Who do you think is going home this evening? Does Kendra have the fan support to overcome that lack of score? It will be interesting to see.
