Dancing with the Stars: Erin Andrews Ties Nicole Scherzinger, But Who Will Voters Choose?

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Might Erin Andrews have pulled off an incredible Dancing with the Stars upset? In our finals preview yesterday, we listed her as a long shot against favorite Nicole Scherzinger and dark horse Evan Lysacek, each of whom are more skilled. Somebody either forgot to tell Erin she was the underdog heading into last night’s final performances, or did tell her and provided her bulletin board material. Erin Andrews tied Nicole with an aggregate 55, meaning it really will come down to every last vote. Can she muster enough support to win the Mirror Ball? Teaming with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on a Samba to kick off the night, Erin scored a 29. Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya got a 28 on the Viennese Waltz. Nicole and Derek Hough’s Rumba netted a 28. In the freestyle round, Nicole made up one point on Erin, tying for the overall lead. Evan faltered somewhat. Erin Andrews mauls Maksim Chmerkovskiy in bed. Art imitating life? If Scherzinger still has a slight edge, it’s because she and Derek went for the toughest moves, almost resulting in Nicole falling off his shoulders at one point. Erin and Maks, meanwhile, chose to do a lyrical freestyle, which seemed So You Think You Can Dance -esque with props and unadulterated sexual chemistry. So can Erin actually pull off the upset on tonight’s results show – when Kate Gosselin returns , Vienna Girardi debuts and the season winner is unveiled at last? She earned consideration at the very least. Nicole will likely get the title and it will be well-earned, but she won’t run away with it. Last night’s full scorecard: Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Samba: 29. Freestyle: 26. Total: 55 . Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough: Rumba: 28. Freestyle: 27. Total: 55 . Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya: Waltz: 28. Freestyle: 24. Total: 52 . Click to enlarge some more photos from last night … Who do you want to win Dancing with the Stars?

Guess How Much Kate Gosselin Made Per Week of Dancing with the Stars

Posted on May 24, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Remember when reports surfaced last year that the “stars” on Dancing with the Stars were making $200,000 to “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” in front of ABC cameras for a season? And you questioned every career decision you had ever made that did not lead to shamelessly begging home viewers for votes while Cheryl Burke mimed the number four behind you? Well, get ready to re-question everything because there is an even more grotesque figure being circulated today– the number of U.S. dollars Kate Gosselin was paid to terrorize you every week .

Dancing with the Stars: The Finals Preview

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Dancing with the Stars names its 10th champions tomorrow. Who will win it? Only three tandems are left vying for the Mirror Ball when they take the floor tonight. It’s now or never for Erin, Maks, Nicole, Derek, Evan and Anna. There are no cumulative scores, so any faltering tonight could be devastating, even to the favorite. Below, we break down the dancers left standing on the final night of competition, their strengths and weaknesses, and their odds of bringing home the glory … Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy Why they’ll win: Sex appeal. Chemistry. Being a hoot to watch. Unquestionably the most attractive and fun pair all season long, Erin and Maks have earned their place in the finals with performances that are technically rigorous as well. Why they won’t: This isn’t to suggest the judges have it in for Erin, but they sort of do. Off-the-charts heat doesn’t translate to higher scores – rarely they matched Nicole or Evan’s totals. If they did tonight, it would be a surprise. A hot surprise . Odds: 20-1 Can either Erin or Evan pull a huge upset in this week’s finals? Evan Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya Why they’ll win: Evan and Anna served notice with last week’s dances that this far from over. Nicole may be the favorite, but Evan has as many perfect 30s (two) as she does, and if they end up all square at the end of tonight, he may have a shot. Why they won’t: Nicole is still better … which is a little unfair, given that she dances for a living, but such is life. Evan needs to be nearly flawless and get some help. Odds: 5-1 Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Hough Why they’ll win: Woman’s got skills. Those new Pussycat Dolls have big shoes to fill. Popular and proficient, Nicole has the whole package and should get it done. And partnering with Derek Hough should help with the female audience, as well. Why they won’t: Her fan base could assume she has it wrapped up and not vote. It’s all about turnout as much as talent. Or she has a rare off night, which we doubt. Odds: 3-2 Make no mistake, this title is Nicole’s to lose . Who do you want to win Dancing with the Stars?

Kate Gosselin Battles Post-Dancing Depression

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kate Gosselin is moving on, but she still misses Dancing with the Stars. “It was just about two weeks before I was like, ‘Oh, hey, I’m resettled back into life. I feel like a normal mom again,’” Kate said, while also admitting she went through “major withdrawals” after leaving the show. “It’s really difficult.” “There is a post- DWTS depression that they fail to tell you about.” The hard-working mom says the feelings stem from missing her castmates, whom she refers to as “family.” Not sure if the feeling is mutual, but hey. If nothing else, you can never accuse Kate of laziness. In the weeks since she was booted from Dancing with the Stars , the mother of eight has launched her new reality series, Twist of Kate and Kate Plus 8 reloaded, and has a new gig with ET . Kate Gosselin will return to the Dancing stage tonight . Her new role? A correspondent for Dancing with the Stars , natch. “[It] has been extremely exciting to hold a microphone, and I found that I am loving this side of it,” Kate said backstage at the Dancing with the Stars semifinals, where she was conducting on-camera interviews. “I can talk. We all knew that.” Indeed. Adding “correspondent” to her resum

Demi Lovato Thanks Fans for Joe Jonas Relationship

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Demi Lovato isn’t simply speaking publicly for the first time about boyfriend Joe Jonas. She’s positively gushing over the singer and even thanking fans for getting them together! In an interview with Us Weekly , Demi says it was “scary” to come out “to the public eye,” but… “I think ultimately, everyone who knows us knows that we’ll always be best friends, no matter what happens… We’ve always had an incredible bond, an incredible friendship. He knows me better than I know myself, and I know him better than he knows himself.” Aww, is it getting dusty in here, or is that just us? Interestingly, Demi went on to give you and me credit for her and Joe’s relationship. “There’s been so many times where if it wasn’t for our fans, I don’t know if we’d be together, because they’ve opened up my eyes to seeing – because I thought I was the only one who had a crush,” she said. To that, we have a pair of replies: You’re welcome, Demi. You were incredible on Grey’s Anatomy last week.

Chad Ochocinco 86’d From Dancing with the Stars

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Chad Ochocinco’s run on Dancing with the Stars came to an end Tuesday. The Cincinnati Bengals standout and partner Cheryl Burke were eliminated on the penultimate week of competition, with Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy joining them in the bottom two, but advancing to next Monday’s finals. Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough and Evan Lysacek Trebunskaya await Erin and Maks to square off for the Mirror Ball title. Chad’s sad to go, but not bitter. “This was awesome,” he said. “I enjoyed the journey. I got some great criticism. I met awesome people, including the beautiful Cheryl Burke. I already won.” While Ochocinco won high praise and admirable scores (although still the lowest of the night) Monday, it wasn’t enough to put him through to the final round. As Len Goodman stated Monday, Ochocinco was the only remaining contestant with no dance training, so the fact that he got to the semifinals is impressive. As for his relationship with Cheryl? Brooke Burke tried to ask Ochocinco about their “special” relationship. “Excuse me, say what?” jokingly replied Ochocinco. “We will remain friends,” he said, brushing off the romance rumors. Oh well. Click to enlarge some top Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke moments on DWTS … With Chad gone, who do you want to win Dancing with the Stars?
