Will Levi Johnston Go 'Dancing with the Stars'?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:52:13 GMT

This season of Dancing with the Stars isn't even over but casting rumors are already afoot on the ABC show, with Levi Johnston, the ex-fiance of Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol and father of her first grandchild, as the first name to surface. But from the looks of it, the Playgirl model isn't too keen on the idea.

"I'm thinking about it, we'll see" Levi said regarding the possibility of appearing on either Dancing with the Stars or Survivor." We'll see, I've thought about it and I don't know. I don't know if it's my thing."

Donny Osmond. The lone guy remaining. Mr. Personality. Showbiz legend. Can his winning smile, mainstream popularity, and acceptable dancing skills trump Mya's potentially annoying perfection to emerge Dancing with the Stars champion?

Can Mya Lose 'Dancing with the Stars'?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:45:01 GMT

Mya must have started planning her Dancing with the Stars victory party around week 5, when she zoomed in front of the leader board with no obvious capable challenger in sight. With the elimination of Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough this week, it's clear: this season's mirror ball trophy is for Mya to lose.

Judging from the scores and the averages, it looks like Mya's going to be a runaway winner on Dancing with the Stars this season. With the elimination of Joanna Krupa, can either of the two remaining celebs stand up to Little Miss Perfect and at least give everyone a good show? Let's assess Kelly Osbourne's chances.

Dancing with the Stars: Did People Root for Joanna At All? Or Just Derek?

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:42:39 GMT

Joanna Krupa was just eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, sending frontrunner Mya, Mr. Personality Donny Osmond and surprise finalist Kelly Osbourne to the finals. Of course, it's an upset, because Joanna and pro partner Derek Hough were second to Mya and Dmitry Chaplin in terms of scores and while their numbers are still worlds away from Little Miss Perfect, they had the best chance - nay, the only chance perhaps - of at least giving Mya and Dmitry some competition.

Judging from the comments, however, it seems as though people's surprise and remorse are directed more at Derek Hough, the professional, rather than Joanna Krupa, the celebrity, who constitutes the "stars" part in the show's title and should really be the focus of the competition. Some are short of saying, we couldn't care less if Joanna goes, just keep Derek.

After 'Dancing with the Stars' Aaron Carter Faces Tax Trouble

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:03:36 GMT

The hits just don't stop for Aaron Carter. After being eliminated on Dancing with the Stars, the former pop star is following on the footsteps of former winner Helio Castroneves, as he faces some bad news from the IRS. Apparently, the partner of Karina Smirnoff owes Uncle Sam some $1 million in back taxes.

It's unclear why the issue is coming at such an inopportune time, a week after getting the boot from Dancing with the Stars, when court documents filed last week indicate that his tax delinquency dates back to 2003, during which time he owed the federal government $965,285 from that year alone.

Julianne Hough Not Returning to 'Dancing with the Stars'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:59:07 GMT

Do you miss Derek Hough's little sister on Dancing with the Stars? Prepared to miss her some more, as the two-time Dancing with the Stars winner just revealed that she currently rules out returning to the ABC competition, at least for the mean time.

"We are going to cross that bridge when we get to it," Julianne Hough says on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.

By the way, Julianne's brother Derek was eliminated. Check out what happened (plus the reactions) here.

'Dancing with the Stars' Week 9 Results: Who's in the Finale?

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:16:01 GMT

It's here, the moment the Dancing with the Stars celebrities have been building up to. Tonight one more couple will be eliminated, and three very happy pairs will be on their way to the finale. Donny Osmond at the bottom of the leader board, Kelly Osbourne has the lowest total score of the season, Joanna Krupa seems like the least liked of the final four and Mya...well, her name is already etched onto the Mirror Ball Trophy, so she has nothing to worry about.

Dancing with the Stars: Who's Going Home in Week 9?

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:49:22 GMT

It's the semi-finals on Dancing with the Stars, so just one more couple will be cut before the finale. With four talented and likeable celebrities left, predicting the final three isn't as easy as you might think. Will Donny Osmond overcome being at the bottom of the leader board? Will Kelly Osbourne, the only dancer to never receive a 10, go home? Will the consistent and sexy Joanna Krupa somehow fall flat? Or will Mya, the clear frontrunner, miraculously get voted out in the biggest upset ever?

All those possibilities might happen on tonight's Dancing with the Stars results show, but which one will it be? Let's look at the numbers.

'Dancing with the Stars' Semifinals: The Best and the Worst

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:38:10 GMT

There's practically a gulf between Mya and the three other remaining celebs on Dancing with the Stars. Last week, seven points separated first and second placers, Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough, while two points separated the couple with the three other celebs. That's how tight things are - in the race for the runner-up position.

This week is no different on Dancing with the Stars, except Derek and Joanna have pretty much cemented their runner-up position (but nonetheless still fell woefully short of the frontrunners). Here's how the leader board looks:

Mya and Dmitry: 28+30+29=87
Joanna and Derek: 27+27+27=81
Kelly and Louis: 24+27+27=78
Donny and Kym: 21+26+27=74

Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Bee Gees, Rycroft on 'Dancing with the Stars' Results Show

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:20:25 GMT

The Dancing with the Stars semifinal cast will be trimmed down to three this week, but not after several performances from stars. Multiple Grammy winner Alicia Keys will headline the night (apart from the contestants, of course), with the television debut performance of her new single "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart."

Also on the agenda is another multiple Grammy winner, Leona Lewis, who is set to perform the first single off her brand new album Echo, which will hit stores in the same day as her performance. Completing the set is legendary group Bee Gees, who will perform their hit "You Should be Dancing" in celebration of their 50th anniversary and the release of their new hits collection called The Ultimate Bee Gees.

The Aaron Carter 'Dancing with the Stars' News Roundup

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:32:10 GMT

So some people thought it was immature and off-putting (as a reader put it) for someone of Aaron Carter's age (21) to be crying on a show like Dancing with the Stars? Or maybe it's because they thought it was insincere?. For his part, he said he grew up on the show, and that from the crying boy that he was, he emerged a man.

"There were a lot of epiphany moments and I learned a lot from [pro partner Karina Smirnoff]," Aaron tells People after his elimination this week. "It was almost like my father a little bit because my dad ... taught me so many different things, but the way he did it, he only had to do it once. She did the same thing. When it came to learning something about me, she only had to say something one time."

Former 'Dancing with the Stars' Celeb Arrested

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:10:28 GMT

Football hall of famer and Dancing with the Stars alum Lawrence Taylor was arrested Sunday night after fleeing from an alleged hit and run incident. According to published reports, the season 8 contestant took off immediately after crashing his vehicle into a van. The former New York giants star was charged with property damage, a second-degree misdemeanor, and released on $500 bond later that night.

Taylor, who finished 7th last season with professional partner Edyta ??liwi??ska, reportedly rammed his Escalade into a 1984 Ford van two separate times and just drove off. He later told police that he thought it was just a guardrail he hit. It was then discovered that he attempted to change lanes and ended up driving into a van twice, causing it to hit the barrier four times before coming to a stop on the opposite side of the freeway.

Are people changing their minds about Aaron Carter on Dancing with the Stars? E! Online reports that the former pop star was absolutely inconsolable at the backstage of the ABC dancing show after his elimination. Didn't all the crying turn off some viewers in the past?

"Of course it's sad. You know how it is. But I'm glad we made it this far," he said, while pro partner Karina Smirnoff added that it feels "empty" - "Like we were taken away."

The Dancing with the Stars semi-finals are on the horizon and anything can happen. While Kelly Osbourne has been at the back of the pack, she certainly has some strong fans, so a huge performance, or having another couple slip up, could boost her into the finale.

But with three dances per couple for week 9, it will be harder than ever. For the semi-finals, each couple will have to do a Ballroom and Latin routine they haven't done yet. The third dance for each couple will be the Dance-Off routines they prepared for the double elimination shows but never got to perform.

Dancing with the Stars: The Aaron Carter Postmortem

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:38:56 GMT

After doing a review of Aaron Carter's season on Dancing with the Stars (found below), I can say that he does deserve to go home, and not just because he's unpopular or smarmy or a jerk (those things, unfortunately, remain to be proven categorically and have nothing to do with dancing). His season average is good for fourth place, which is close enough to fifth.

Before you complain and say that Kelly Osbourne should've gone home, Natalie Coughlin is just one spot behind Kelly, and the Olympic swimmer was eliminated eons ago, in what would perhaps go down as one of the more thankless stints on Dancing with the Stars. But back to Aaron.

How did Aaron get the boot? Catch the recap of the elimination night here.

The semifinals are on the horizon for Dancing with the Stars, but only four couples will make it. I'd like for there to be some suspense, but the fact is that Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff have been living in the bottom all season long, despite typically high scores from the judges. Now that they're on the bottom of the Dancing with the Stars Leaderboard, it seems all but certain that time is finally up for the pop star.

But first, we get Susan Boyle dreaming a dream, and the return of Kenny Mayne and DanceCenter. Live, from Hollywood, this is Dancing with the Stars!

People's Choice Award Nominees: 'True Blood,' 'Gossip Girl' and the Usual Suspects

This morning the People's Choice Award nominations were revealed, and as always, it's populism at its best. On the TV side, the nominees often look like the top of the Nielsen ratings list, with a few notable and surprising exceptions. Shows like True Blood and Gossip Girl crept into the Favorite TV Actress categories while Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show features Lost, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural.

However, those are the very cool exceptions. For the most part, the list is full of CSI, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Two and a Half Men and other top-rated shows. Here are the major television nominees for this year's People's Choice Awards.

'Dancing with the Stars' Final 5 - The Best and the Worst

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:03:53 GMT

From the looks of the leader board, things are back to normal. Mya and Dmitry Chaplin are on top, and Aaron Carter is in the bottom. The little twists include, Mr. Popularity Donny Osmond is actually in the bottom with him. The five remaining couples on Dancing with the Stars had two performances, and while everyone had trouble in the first dance (except Mya, who was nearly flawless), all hell broke loose in the second dance - and in a good way.

The notable thing about this week's leader board is, a whopping 7 points separate the first placers and the runner up. Here's how the leader board looks on Dancing with the Stars Week 8.

Will we finally see the first perfect 30 of the season? Will Len Goodman dare to raise his 10 paddle for a second time this season? Will Aaron Carter continue to look and act like Spencer Pratt's slightly less douchey cousin? There's only one way to find out.

Joanna Krupa: 'Amazing' to be 'Dancing with the Stars' Frontrunner

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:28:50 GMT

Following two great consecutive weeks on Dancing with the Stars, can Joanna Krupa and pro partner Derek Hough really win it all? Mya has something to say about that, but for the swimsuit model, it feels "amazing" to the show's frontrunner, especially in view of Mya's recent slip in the leader board.

"I feel like I'm in a dream and somebody needs to pinch me only because I've dreamt of being a ballerina since I was little. When I first signed up for the show, I'm like, "Oh, I hope I can get to Week 2 or Week 3" because of the whole model curse they told me about. Being here every day is such an honor. I've definitely exceeded my and Derek's expectations because I never knew I had it in me, but it shows, with determination and hard work, you can do anything."

Susan Boyle is set to sing on a show called Dancing with the Stars this week.

Aside from the obvious disconnect in that development, something else is amiss here, since Kelly Osbourne is one of the five remaining contestants on Dancing with the Stars, and her not-so-tactful mother recently said something absolutely harsh about the Britain's Got Talent runner-up that included Gillette razors and God.

Still, both were amazed at how far they made it in the competition thanks to their loyal fanbase.
