  • VIDEO: Dancing's David Alan Grier Tells Two Judges to "Kiss My A--" | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 4/9/2009

    It was a sad night for In Living Color alum David Alan Grier after his Dancing run came to an end Tuesday. TV Guide Network caught up with bummed-out funnyman right after he got the boot and learned Grier had "no love" for the judges' other than Len (whom he merely "respects"). The cast-off had a few fightin' words for Carrie Ann and Bruno (at the 4:50 mark) — and Kym Johnson had the same look Mike Meyers did when Kanye West made that President Bush comment. Plus: Find out what Grier would have done next week. (It involves stripping down and giving the audience the "booty-jiggle").

    Here's a sneak preview of the Tuesday night festivities for the season finale of Dancing with the Stars: The three remaining couples will each dance one more dance — their favorite of the season — and will be given one more set of scores from the judges.

  • Backstage: Cloris Should Go Home, Says Bruno | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 10/28/2008

    It doesn't seem to matter that Cloris Leachman gets a standing ovation from the studio audience every time she hits the dance floor. Or that she wasn't even in the bottom two last week. Judge Bruno Tonioli wants her out. Read why, and see who agrees with him, after the jump...

  • Backstage Report: Bruno Says, "We Want Paula Abdul" | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 4/22/2008
    "I'm going to kill Tom Bergeron," says Paula Abdul, sitting ringside at Dancing with the Stars Monday night. The American Idol judge has made no secret of the fact that she loves the ABC dance competition and has told Bergeron (as well as pro Louis van Amstel) that she wants to be a contestant next season. It was reported in TV Guide, and then Bergeron also relayed the message to the public in a radio interview. Now, Abdul has to face reporters who are peppering her with questions. "I sneak in here on Tuesday nights to watch," she explains, walking about 50 yards from the Idol soundstage to the adjacent Dancing ballroom. Paula's take on Season 6? "It has been great," she says. "A nice progression, just like American Idol. Kristi Yamaguchi is amazing. But so is Jason [Taylor]. So is Marlee [Matlin]. And I'm not just saying that."Does the choreography intimidate her? "It excites me and inspires me," she says. Does she have a dream partner? "Are you allowed to have dream partners?" sh... read more
  • Backstage at Dancing with the Stars: Ryan Seacrest?! | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 3/19/2008
    Judge Bruno Tonioli was in rare form Tuesday night. In an interview with TV Guide just moments after the show, he let loose on the male stars of Season 6, calling them "lazy bastards." Apart from R&B star Mario, Tonioli says he was not impressed by the quality of dancing on the season-opener. "I'm so relieved seeing the girls," says Tonioli, "because the boys needed a kick in the ass. Mario was the only one who really sparkled. The others? They were lazy bastards. Sorry, but it's true. They did the dances, but not enough. You're not going to get away with that on Dancing with the Stars. And if you try, we're going to go after you."This isn't the first time, of course, that the first dances of the season have been less than stellar.... The efforts of Master P., Kenny Mayne and Billy Ray Cyrus come to mind. So why is Tonioli so wound up this time? Maybe because now, Dancing is the No. 2 show in the land and we've grown to expect more. Maybe it's because on Tuesday night, the show ... read more
