The Winner is Crowned! | TV Show Recaps | 5/21/2008
Well kids, this is it! It's been just over two months since this crazy season started and now it's all coming to an end. Who would be taking home the crown and who would go home in utter defeat? More importantly, who is being booted right away and settling for third place? I'm anticipating an interesting (yet long!) night ahead, so let's dive into it one last time!After a short interview with our finalists, Usher entered the ballroom and I shouted with glee. He's sexy and talented and he really hasn't had a song I haven't liked. Despite having a headset, I definitely think he wasn't singing his new hit song "Love in This Club" but that's really fine with me. It's a dancing show and if singing live would have made it hard for him to break it down at the end then he shouldn't have sang. I also think every performer on this show has lip-synched so this isn't abnormal. We've had some pretty great performances this year. Which was your favorite? Then the first big moment of the night arr... read more
At Benefit Walk, Dancing and Earl Stars Dish it Up | Today's News: Our Take | 5/15/2008
More than 50,000 men, women and children woke up at the break of dawn Saturday to raise funds and awareness for women's cancers at the annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women. Among these early risers was Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who, despite feeling under the weather, was determined to walk. "I really just wanted to be a part of the event," the cohost of the morning told TV Guide. "I mean, don't you feel it? There's all this energy here. It doesn't feel like it's 6 o'clock in the morning." Also walking, along with her puppy, was My Name is Earl star Nadine Velasquez, who fresh off the finale was looking forward to another Earl event. "We're going to be on Family Feud on June 1st. It's Celebrity Family Feud; the cast of My Name is Earl vs. the Camdenites." It looks like Family Feud is just the beginning for the recurring characters of Camden as Vasquez promises there will be more story lines featuring the townies on Season 4. "I feel like it's really been establis... read more
Reader's Jeer of the Week: Karina Smirn-Off | Cheers & Jeers | 5/9/2008
Posted by SugarPop...Jeers to Karina Smirnoff of Dancing with the Stars for being so ungracious and unprofessional. Her constant eye-rolling and sighs made me cringe and actually root against her. Every other contestant and dancer seem to handle being in the bottom two with class and dignity. I think if anyone is to blame for Mario's departure this week, it's her.• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more
Dancing Backstage: Was Maks Glad to Be Back? | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 5/7/2008
It's a wonder they ever got the 100th episode of Dancing with the Stars off the ground: Imagine trying to wrangle more than two dozen kissing and hugging celebrities into their seats. Even the judges got into the act. Carrie Ann Inaba left the judges' table to wrap her arms around Drew Lacey. After the show, there would be a massive cake, a group picture and a celebration at a Hollywood hot spot. But the real party started on the dance floor, as six seasons' worth of stars and pros staged their own joyous reunion. "Can everyone take a seat, please," pleaded warm-out comedian Bill Sindelar for the umpteenth time. (They ignored him, of course.) Sabrina Bryan needed to hug Wayne Newton. Joey Fatone grabbed pro Kym Johnson. Mark Cuban shook hands with Jerry Springer. "All my boys are here!" cried Johnson, who partnered Springer, Fatone and Cuban. "Except for Penn [Jillette], who had to do his show in Vegas." For the studio audience — seeded with 100 fans from all 50 states who won... read more
Eviction Night & 100th Show Celebration | TV Show Recaps | 5/7/2008
It was a fantastic start to the 100th show — a dance featuring the past and present pros! Maksim was back, Maksim was back! There is a God! There was so much that happened tonight I can't even think straight or form a complete thought. So I won't. I'm sure there are some of you out there who would swear I never do, so let's get on that train and keep it going. Choo-chooooo! Here are my loves and hates from tonight's show:Loves• Samantha Harris' dress — I'm going to give her some kudos since no one likes her. Despite her utter uselessness on the show, she's actually an incredible beauty. She's got a great bod and she looks fantastic in all the cool dresses she gets to wear. I'm sure if she were on a show where she served a purpose, she'd be a bigger star.• Mario Lopez and the cast of A Chorus Line — I'm a sucker for a musical so this was a treat for me. I didn't realize A.C. Slater was on Broadway but I bet he's great in the show. I'll admit I always thoug... read more
