Dancing Champ Apolo Anton Ohno Gets Back on the Ice | TV Guide Sports Report | 12/19/2007
He mastered the paso doble, but now Dancing With the Stars champ Apolo Anton Ohno is getting back to what he does best: speed skating. Ohno, who won DWTS last spring, is set to compete at the U.S. Senior Short Track Championships in Kearns, Utah, this weekend. "I basically took two full summers off," Ohno tells the Salt Lake Tribune. "Not a good idea for any athlete. But the transition has been going well. I'm excited about this competition. I haven't raced for quite a long time, and it's about... read more
At the Dancing Finish Line | Roush Dispatch | 11/28/2007
I don’t know about you, but I got my wish Tuesday night. Boiled down to three words: Anyone. But. Marie. Seriously folks, if Dancing with the Stars’ trophy had gone to Marie Osmond the underdog — or rather, underdoll, as I like to think of her after Monday’s bizarre freestyle nondance that would have been better suited for the Island of Misfit Toys — I might even have joined the legions of disgruntled fans who tend to declare "I’m never watching again" after each... read more
Dancing with the Stars Countdown! Helio Castroneves Q&A | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/23/2007
Two-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves was less than four hours away from this year's big race when he had a conversation with a stranger that he'd remember forever: Dancing with the Stars' fourth-season champ, Apolo Anton Ohno, had shown up at the track. "I congratulated him on his [Olympic] gold medal and on winning Dancing with the Stars," says the Brazilian-born Castroneves, 32. "And then I said, 'How was that? It seemed like it was really fun.' And he said, 'Oh, man, it was a lot of... read more

May 7, 2007: Daddy's Girl and Jessie's Girl | Dancing With the Stars | 5/8/2007
Emotions ran high on and off the dance floor last night, running the gamut from sentimental dedications to insults taken too personally. Let’s start with the good before we proceed to the bad and ugly. The guest we’ve been waiting for all season was finally in the audience: Muhammad Ali, on hand to support his daughter. Laila dedicated her performances to her mom and dad, and she had an extra sparkle in her eye all night. She began and ended her lovely waltz like Sleeping Beauty, and... read more
April 30, 2007: Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun | Dancing With the Stars | 5/1/2007
Remember that episode of 90210 where Steve entered a dance competition and Brandon, Kelly and Donna cheered him on? No? OK, it never happened, but it sort of felt like such an episode last night when founding members of what Tom dubbed the “90210 Alumni Association” were in the audience supporting Ian. I don’t know if it was their cheers or Billy Ray’s tutoring, but whatever it was, it worked. Ian finally came alive on the dance floor! His first dance was good and showed... read more
April 23, 2007: All the World's a Stage | Dancing With the Stars | 4/24/2007
Let’s jump right to the highlight of the night: the group swing was 100 percent fun, perhaps the best group dance that involved the celebrities in the past four seasons of Dancing with the Stars. Everyone was so into the performance that the energy was contagious. Even more impressive was how well they gelled as a group (even Heather and Jonathan, who missed the group practice). The couples all played to their strengths (e.g., Ian and Cheryl did back-to-back lifts, while Laila tossed Max... read more

April 2, 2007: Movie Magic | Dancing With the Stars | 4/3/2007
I can’t go so far as to say it was an all-out theme night, but about half of last night’s celebrities got inspiration for their dances from movies. First Edyta took John Ratzenberger to a Valentino movie to get inspired for the tango. This seemed to work in terms of him getting into character for the dance. I was impressed with his facial expressions and intensity, but I think that was the strongest part of his dance. The judges pointed out that he needs to make some technical... read more

March 26, 2007: Second Chances | Dancing With the Stars | 3/27/2007
Last night our stars had a sort of second chance to make a first impression. Initially, I was against not having an elimination last week, but the judges commented that they were grateful for the chance to see everyone do both Latin and ballroom dances, and that is a good point — some people are simply better at one style than the other. OK, so they won me over with this new wait-a-week system.So who benefited from this extra week? First and foremost, Billy Ray Cyrus. Wow, did he step it... read more
