Dancing with the Stars Week 3: The Good Moves, Bad Footwork, and Ugly Form

Another week, another round of Pussycat Dolls and astronauts powerhumping at the cuticles of America’s voting/texting/judging fingers. In this go-around, the judges declared a new scoring champion while assuring us that Buzz Aldrin is never going to beat Olympic figure-skaters in the elegance department. Because he’s a lazy jackass.

United States of Tara Multiple-Personality Smackdown: ‘The Truth Hurts’

Last time we saw Tara , she was cheering up thanks to an Air Supply jam session in her neighbor’s suicide house. She had not told her family that Buck had been hijacking her body to woo a sweet bartender named Pammy (Joey Lauren Adams), hoping her male alter would recede back into her subconscious. But as we learned in last night’s episode, “The Truth Hurts,” Pammy and Buck are not going away anytime soon, and if anyone tries to get between them, Buck, the hardened Vietnam vet who shows his affection by cutting his lady’s toenails and replacing her water jug, will throw down with anyone, including Tara. After the jump, Movieline assesses the damage from last night’s match.

The 4 Most Outrageous Titles Selected For This Year’s TromaDance

Legendary cult-film impresario Lloyd Kaufman and the rest of those crazy Troma Entertainment kids were missed this year in Park City, where their annual TromaDance Film Festival had offered a blend of scintillating, schlocky and sincerely independent cinema for over a decade. (At the suggestion of Trey Parker, no less, whose own Cannibal!: The Musical went out through Troma and who proposed an alternative to the bloated celebrity zoo of Sundance.) In 2010, though, Kaufman has reeled the ‘Dance back to the East Coast, where it will unspool 22 films over April 16-17 in Asbury Park, N.J. But that doesn’t diminish the real joy of TromaDance, to wit: What outrageous film titles has the Troma gang gathered under its big top this year?

Carson Daly On NBC’s Shake-Ups, Life After MTV and Reinventing Late Night

Carson Daly is a rarity among late-night hosts. The Santa Monica native broke into the afterhours landscape after a successful career in music, not comedy, and has spent the past eight years at NBC slowly breaking free from the traditional talk show format. When ConanGate threatened the 1:30 A.M. time slot that he had peacefully occupied since 2002, Daly stayed respectfully quiet about his network (even as his peers took swings at him ), instead submerging himself into a new Last Call format. Without a desk, a tie or an audience, Daly has finally found a documentary style for his show that fits — and allows him to shine a spotlight on the bands he loves (and covers during on his KAMP -FM morning radio show), take viewers on field trips (recently, to see a house that Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner was flipping) or expose his audience to stream-of-consciousness lessons from interesting figures like David Lynch. The persevering Daly phoned Movieline to discuss why he holds no ill will against NBC or his early-morning time slot, his fondest memories of MTV and the one shocking story that Matthew McConaughey never would have told in front of a studio audience.

Fixing The Marriage Ref for Season Two: A TVLine IM Discussion

Congratulations! We’re stuck with it. The Marriage Ref has been renewed for a second season, along with NBC’ s other weird, uncomfortable series Minute to Win It and Who Do You Think You Are . The decision did not sit well with Movieline’s TV scholars, who at one point used to enjoy Jerry Seinfeld and marriages. After the jump, Julie Miller and I diagnose The Marriage Ref ‘s problems and vote for major changes in the series’s second go-around.

What’s On: My Name’s Chuck Bass, and I Came to Get Down

Chuck Bass is stirring up more frosty, lip-puckery problems in the new Gossip Girl . But better yet, the producers set Ed Westwick’s character up for disappointment by naming the episode after a “Bass” pun gone horribly wrong.

DWTS’ Erin Andrews on Nerves, Needing a Change and Those Pesky Romantic Rumors

Erin Andrews has endured a rough year, one that keeps revealing difficult passages. The 31-year-old ESPN sportscaster’s high-profile court case, where divorced father Michael David Barrett was eventually charged with filming Andrews through a peephole in her hotel rooms in several different states, ended in March as Barrett was sentenced to 30 months in prison. This month (and after our interview) it was revealed that Andrews had received death threats for over six months. Now, as Andrews waltzes and quicksteps on the 10th season of Dancing with the Stars , she talks with Movieline about moving on from the hellish court proceedings, finding new confidence, those romantic rumors with her dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy and the other ESPN personality she’d like to see on DWTS .

Celebrity Apprentice: 5 Creepy Stills from the ‘Harry Potter’s Surreal Life Mansion’ Challenge

Celebrity Apprentice ‘s stars were asked to horrify children last night, and everyone pulled through with flying colors. As part of their challenge to make a 3D display advertising Universal Orlando’s “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” attraction, the celebs built and acted as characters inside muggle-friendly haunted castles. Some of the contestants (Michael Johnson, our girl Summer Sanders ) kept the freakishness to a minimum, while others (just wait) gave unsuspecting children the kind of chills best defined as “Voldemort kisses.”
