Dancing With the Stars Recap: A Fantastic Finals

Posted on May 22, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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?

Dancing With the Stars Results Shocker: Who Made the Finals?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After Monday left Katherine Jenkins in a world of hurt – physically and mentally – many assumed this Dancing With the Stars results show would be her last. Not the case! She needed both a doctor’s attention and Mark Ballas’ reassurances following her misstep and injury, but Jenkins survived despite her last-place finish. That sounds worse than it was – the judges barely criticized her, and her last-place score was just three points out of the lead – but it was still a surprise. “It’s something I’ll just power through,” the Welsh opera singer said of her back injury. “And actually, jumping up and down now I think I hit it again.” “I was so excited I just forgot about it.” Those celebration injuries can be rough. Who will join her to vie for the title? And which frontrunner was sent home with a disappointing fourth-place finish? Find out after the jump … Joining Jenkins in the finals will be William Levy, whose sexy looks and smooth moves have him winning votes in his sleep, along with NFL star Donald Driver. That means Maria Menounos, despite a first-place score of 59 (!) and despite three-time winner Derek Hough as a partner, will be watching from the sidelines. “I learned so many things,” the Extra host said afterward, exiting with the class you’d expect. “I learned how strong I was. I learned to persevere.” “It’s been an amazing season,” Derek added. “And I’ve loved, loved dancing with this woman… She’s not just a champion of dancing, but a champion of life.” But it’s Donald, William and Katherine who will be free-styling for the Mirror Ball next week! Did Maria deserve to go? And who do you think will win it all? Vote in our dueling Dancing With the Stars surveys below: Did Maria deserve to go? Who will win?

Kristen Stewart Amused By ‘Snow White’ Co-Star Charlize Theron

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I love the effect she has on people,’ KStew tells MTV News. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Charlize Theron in “Snow White and the Huntsman” Photo: Universal Despite their obvious differences both onscreen and off, Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron have formed a bond during the filming of “Snow White and the Huntsman” and even more so during the current press tour in support of the film. When MTV News caught up with Stewart recently, we asked her to compare the familiar scenario of doing interviews with her longtime “Twilight” co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner versus her new castmate, the lovely Ms. Theron. “When Rob, Taylor and I do interviews together, they usually don’t actually ask us anything. We just get to hang out and people like to watch that,” Stewart said with a laugh. “It’s fine, because I like hanging out with those guys, but it is weird. With Charlize, it’s been great, because we’re so proud of the movie and we actually only worked together for three days, so we got to know each other probably more or at least on a certain level during press, and it’s been nice. It’s been fun.” Stewart said she especially admires Theron’s ability to light up a room with her energy and humor. “Some people intimidate you. Some people’s energy is so big you feel like you don’t fit in the room, but with her, I really appreciate how different we are. I love the effect she has on people,” Stewart said. “I find it hilarious. I love watching it happen. I do not have that. Maybe I have something else, but it’s definitely not as visceral. Also, she’s really hilarious,” she added, noting that the Oscar winner uses the more colorful swear words with particular aplomb. “[She] puts me to shame, to be honest,” Stewart said.

Maria Menounos Eliminated From ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Despite Perfect Score

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Remaining three celebrities — William Levy, Katherine Jenkins and Donald Driver — will continue competing for mirror ball trophy next week. By Kelley L. Carter Maria Menounos and Derek Hough on “Dancing With the Stars” Photo: ABC The truth is, anyone’s name could have been called to head home from ABC’s hit show “Dancing With the Stars” on Tuesday night and it would have been a shock. On Monday night, most of the contestants scored well with the judges. Although opera singer Katherine Jenkins has been a top performer on the show all season, she made a few missteps in one of her Monday night performances — and subsequently beat herself up about it. So folks may not have been too surprised to hear her name called as this week’s eliminated dancer. Instead, it was one of the night’s top scorers who got the boot. It ultimately came down to TV journalist Maria Menounos and her partner Derek Hough and NFL star Donald Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd. Menounos was the one to go, despite having a near-perfect score on Monday night. The judges salivated over the Argentine tango she performed as her first dance, rewarding her with perfect 10s all around. For her second performance, she took on the jive, and the judges actually named her the winner of the night — and possibly the competition itself. When her name was called Tuesday night, Menounos said, “I learned so many things — how strong I was, to persevere … I want to thank everyone here. I want to thank Derek and my family and everyone who voted for us.” Next week, the remaining three celebrities — Latin heartthrob William Levy and his partner Cheryl Burke, Driver and Murgatroyd, and Jenkins and Mark Ballas will compete for the mirror ball trophy.

‘Dancing With The Stars’: Roshon Fegan And Melissa Gilbert Get The Boot

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Chris Brown performed on show’s double-elimination night leading into semi-finals. By Kelley L. Carter Roshon Fegan on “Dancing With the Stars” Photo: ABC The “Dancing With the Stars” contestants were warned on Monday night that two couples would be sent packing on Tuesday, but that didn’t make the sting any less bitter. Chris Brown was the night’s performer, and after he ran through a new song from his forthcoming album Turn Up the Music, the remaining celebrities got the bad news. In the end, the first couple to get the boot was Disney star Roshon Fegan and his partner Chelsie Hightower. Fegan smiled through the announcement and said, “I am happy to add ballroom dancing to my super-duper dance moves.” Fegan actually scored pretty well on Monday night, earning 29 out of 30 for his individual performance. The judges told him that watching him perform was like watching a young Mickey Rooney. Fegan’s pleasant reaction to getting sent home was the exact opposite of that by the second celebrity to get the boot: actress Melissa Gilbert, whose dance partner was Maks Chmerkovskiy. She had to wipe tears away after her name was called. It was Gilbert’s 48th birthday, and the moment was emotional. Gilbert landed at the bottom of the leaderboard on Monday’s telecast, with judges telling her that her footwork was spotty. “I can’t even describe what a learning and growing experience this has been. It’s been a real blessing and a joy,” she said upon her departure. “Maks has been amazing. An incredible teacher. An incredible friend.” “DWTS” semi-finals begin next week, with the remaining four celebrities — Donald Driver, Katherine Jenkins, Maria Menounos and William Levy — in the running for the mirrorball trophy.

Dancing With the Stars Results: Who Survived the Double Elimination?

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Dancing With the Stars bid farewell to two of its top six competitors on last night’s results show. Did the four favorites survive, or were there surprises? It was really anyone’s game. A week after scoring a perfect 30, Maria Menounos and Derek Hough found themselves in second-to-last place Monday. Roshon Fegan, who narrowly avoided elimination, climbed to second, while only six points separated William Levy in first from Melissa Gilbert in last. So which four celebrities are moving on to the semifinals? Roshon and Chelsie Hightower were the first couple to be eliminated. Even after having one of their better weeks, it wasn’t enough for the young pair. “I’m definitely very happy that I can add ballroom dancing to my super-duper dance moves,” Roshon told co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet in response. “I’m so proud of you,” his partner Chelsie said. “He was such a joy to work with and came to work everyday willing to work and with such a great attitude.” “I’m happy to end it on a high note and I’m happy I had you as my partner.” The second couple eliminated on Tuesday were … Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. “I can’t even describe what a learning and growing experience it’s been. It’s been a real blessing and a joy,” said the actress, on her 48th birthday. “I’m amazed that I even made it this far, and the things that I was able to do and the things that were able to overcome to have been here on this day, does make it a really incredible birthday,” Gilbert added. “Maks has been amazing, an incredible teacher, an incredible friend.” And so it goes. Levy, Menounos, Katherine Jenkins and Donald Driver are on to the final four, where it will again be anyone’s game next week! What do you think? Did America get the DWTS results right?

Katherine Jenkins Wardrobe Malfunction Doesn’t Slow Dancing With the Stars Favorite

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Dancing With the Stars standout Katherine Jenkins has joked that her outfits are being “sabotaged” on the 14th season of the ABC reality show. The Welsh opera singer, 31, may have come in as one of the season’s least-known celebrities, but she’s changed that with powerhouse routines. The occasional wardrobe malfunction doesn’t hurt, either … as long as it’s properly managed. Last night, Katherine rolled with it like a champ! Her trousers were supposed to be removed during her three-person routine with Mark Ballas and Tristan MacManus last night, but one leg got stuck … Katherine Jenkins, Mark Ballas and Tristan MacManus on Dancing With the Stars “It was a disaster. When the guys ripped my outfit off, it’s perfectly in half so I thought it had gone really smoothly,” Katherine told ET. “And then I look down and … I don’t even know how it’s worked that half a trouser leg is still there. It doesn’t make any sense. We think it was sabotaged!” The blonde songbirds admits she was left shaken by the incident. However, she did her best to remain composed on the dance floor. The trio’s score of 29 was the highest score of the second round, and left Jenkins in a tie for third on the DWTS scoreboard overall.
