Next Monday, the remaining ten
Dancing with the Stars couples will take the floor with waltz, paso doble and quickstep routines that will each tell a story.
One of which (
guess who!) will tell a story we know
all too well.Wanna know how the other stars are faring with their new routines? Plus: why is Brooke Burke spreading her own false pregnancy rumor? And are Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dating?
It's all here, and then some, in this week's
Dancing with the Stars news roundup:
Status Report: How are the Stars Dealing with Their New Dances?- Maybe Aiden Turner's dance should be renamed the "hopstep"?

Len's Vocabulary Lesson of the Day: In your face, Len-doubters:
"titivate" is a word, and it means exactly what he said it means. Try using it in a sentence today. Example: "I just titivated myself about the meaning of

this photo of partner Erin Andrews out-paparazzi-ing the paps, saying, "
They didn't know if they should start posing."Dancing with the Stars ... On Ice? Evan Lysacek is a busy boy: dancing on
DWTS Mondays and Tuesdays in L.A., and then flying to Fort Meyers for
Stars on Ice Wednesday through Saturday! The only thing more busy than this Olympic champ these days? His new
Twitter background.
Romance Rumors Put to Rest: Erin Andrews
claims she and Maks aren't together; they just spend
24 hours a day together. And
Nicole Scherzinger calls Derek Hough a 'little brother,' not a little lover. How about Cheryl Burke and Chad Ochocinco? All that on-screen flirting has led to no such denial from these two. Instead, Cheryl gives Chad more rave reviews, writing in
her US Weekly blog, "Luckily, every day working with Chad is hilarious! He always makes me
smile and laugh."
Tomorrow is Aiden Turner's birthday! Now go wish
our new blogger a happy birthday, please, because more likely than not he'll spend most of the day being bossed around by
Edyta Sliwinka.
"Who the F*** Voted for Kate Gosselin?" If you found yourself asking that question on Tuesday night, check out executive producer Conrad Green's
explanation to E! Online. And no, he didn't rig the votes to help his ratings. But speaking of which ...
Battle of the Big Shows: It's a heated ratings war between competing reality titans
American Idol and
Dancing with the Stars, says

We're Not Fooling: Finally, we researched
the origins of five favorite dances from Dancing with the Stars, some of which are even stranger than fiction. Did you know Lindy Hop and Foxtrot are both named after people?
