Ballas & Hough "Sing" Before Two Are Booted on Dancing With the Stars
OK, we understand Mark Ballas and Derek Hough are totally into the whole music thing.
But they must know that we know from watching Britney, Paula and other pop-music makers that, if you're doing a taxing dance routine while performing live, you're probably not doing a whole lot of actual singing.
As we said, the Ballas Hough Band made a rousing Dancing With the Stars debut. We assume their song had words under all the spectacle.
Otherwise, Tuesday's show was another of those tense affairs, with two celebs headed for the door and everyone forced to prepare a dance-off-worthy routine just in case.
So there was Donny Osmond in his green sparkly jacket and Kelly Osbourne in her hot pink and leather...
Kelly Trades Beige for Bruno's Bon-Bon on Dancing With the Stars
Week seven and the going is getting rougher on Dancing With the Stars.
A few of the remaining celebs have flirted with the top, only to fall short of a committed, see-ya-next-week-same-time relationship.
Michael Irvin entered this week of competition hanging on by the hair of his footballs. Time is running out for Kelly Osbourne to recapture the potential she showed weeks ago before she started hemorrhaging confidence. And Mya just can't seem to get on Len Goodman's good side.
Did anything change this week? And what did Kelly do to get Bruno Tonioli up on the table like that?
Dancing With the Stars Still Less Than Perfect
The heat was on tonight on Dancing With the Stars as the nine remaining celebs hoofed for their lives in advance of Tuesday's double elimination.
First off was either a waltz or jitterbug, and the retro vibe continued with a Grease-style dance marathon, minus the hand jive, of course.
You could tell that Aaron Carter has been emotionally hurting from being in the bottom two, two weeks in a row, Mya is physically hurting from being tossed all over Dmitry's hunky shoulders, and Kelly Osbourne sprained her ankle last week. Melissa Joan Hart had to deal with taking a 7-point dive and Donny Osmond, poor lad, was saddled with the pressure that comes from entering the week on top.
And no one had scored a perfect 30 yet!
The contestants had no choice but to up their game or face the wrath of the increasingly contentious judges, not to mention the prospect of viewer unappreciation if they focused too much on fancy footwork and left their hearts at home.
At least there was one thing the judges could agree on—nothing.
Dancing With the Stars Cast Unveiled: No Paula Abdul, but Tom DeLay Tapped
The Iceman, the Chairman, the Hammer and the Witch vs. the Puppy Lover?
This season of Dancing With the Stars could get intense.
After weeks of buzz and rumors, the ninth season's cast is no longer a mystery. Emmy-nominated host Tom Bergeron appeared on Good Morning America today to reveal the record number of stars who will face new restrictions, "ballroom bloodbath" double eliminations and still-inevitable injuries in the hopes of waltzing away with that mirrorball trophy.
Paula Abdul won't be there (she won't be on So You Think You Can Dance, either, if Mary Murphy gets her say), and neither will Hills hottie Audrina Patridge or grieving sister La Toya Jackson.
But who will be sashaying into prime time in a matter of weeks?
