Tags: , TV

Update: Annie’s recap is live.

There’s just not enough space in our headline area for all those i’s anymore (though if enough of you cry real Swarovski crystal tears, I’ll consider bringing them back. (Of course I’ll bring them back.) It’s week 2 and our celebrated ‘All-Star’ hoofers will attempt either the quickstep or the jive, depending on whether they danced standard or Latin on last week’s performance premiere.

You know the drill: Discuss the show here or on our DWTS live blog during the live telecast — and nominate your Hidden Gems of the Week in the comments on this post before 2 p.m. ET Tuesday. I’ll be joining the DWTS After-Party on ABC.com at 10, so tune in for that too! My full recap will be up Tuesday morning.

Justin Bieber steals the show with 'DWTS' performance -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , , Music, TV

Leave it to Justin Bieber to save the day. The superstar blasted through a glitzy silver barricade in a leather jumpsuit to resuscitate last night’s otherwise uneventful Dancing With the Stars: All Stars results show.

Bieber even overshadowed Pitbull’s party-popping, glow stick fest with his ”As Long As You Love Me” performance. Aside from the fact that Biebs resembled ”The Leather Man” from one of my favorite SNL skits, the pop sensation reminded me of Justin Timberlake circa 1998 with his shockingly smooth dance moves. The performance got even better when he took off his bedazzled leather vest. Sure, it left me staring at his scrawny arms, but it made the outfit look slightly less ridiculous.

The song, which is the latest iTunes chart-topping single off his new album Believe, is also extremely catchy. ”As long as you love me/ We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke/ As long as you love me/ I’ll be your platinum, I’ll be your silver, I’ll be your gold.”

All I can say is that Selena Gomez is one lucky lady. Watching Bieber perform could have easily served as eliminated all-star Pamela Anderson’s consolation prize.

The Believe Tour kicks off this Saturday in Glendale, Ariz.

'Dancing With the Stars': Rank 'em yourselves!

Tags: , , Music, TV

Having seen only a foxtrot or a cha cha cha from the 12 remaining Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars couples, here’s my best shot at a Week 1 Power List. It may seem like I’m favoring the men who dared to wear the most shockingly hued Cuban heels on Monday’s premiere — but I promise I’m basing this ranking in terms of their total package (shoes plus the rest of the costume). Leave your own ranking in the comments! READ FULL STORY »

Update: Annie’s recap is live.

Spoiler ahead! Pitbull’s glowsticks rave and Justin Bieber’s so-not-fetch attempt to introduce leather MC Hammer pants into the ballroom have concluded. After a two-hour results special on DWTS: All-Stars premiere week, one of 13 Sparkalien couples has been cast off of Planet Mirrorballus. ‘Tis a cruel and unusual society they’ve got going on up there. The two eliminated dancers on Week 1 are….. READ FULL STORY »

'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars' glamour shots: What's your damage?

by
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , TV

The Dancing With the Stars promo pics for season 15 — All-Stars! — are out. This happens twice a year, and I love and hate it. LOVE because I get to create fictions about the couples based on one ridiculous photograph; HATE because 1) they’re a sign I’m about to lose my nighttime freedom in a few weeks and 2) the Planet Mirrorballus visitors are tragically not dahhhhhhncing together already.

Here’s how I ranked the couples on their chances to actually win this thing. But right now — for no reason at all other than “It’s a summer Friday” — let’s go through their press photos and determine where each couple falls on the Damages Scale from 1 (merely annoying) to 10 (bunny-boiling). And if you’re new, please keep in mind….I’m kidding! Always. READ FULL STORY »

Should Ryan Lochte be the new 'Bachelor'? VOTE

In the understatement of the Summer Games, not to mention the year, Ryan Lochte is sort of having a moment. Yes, yes, Michael Phelps is still great (most decorated Olympian of all time, etc.) but Lochte — unfortunate grill and all — seems poised to capture some more glory post-London — and yes, we’re talking Hollywood. And no, we’re not talking about the fashion line he’s desperate to make happen.

The swimmer already appeared in a questionable Funny or Die video, and there have been rumors floating around that Lochte is being considered for either Dancing with the Stars or the new Bachelor (spokespeople for both shows told EW that the programs never comment on casting rumors). Lochte himself told Matt Lauer, “I’m definitely looking towards Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor, so we’ll see what happens.”

Bachelor host Chris Harrison even added his two cents, tweeting, “@fleissmeister just told me he liked Ryan Lochte in his speedo so much he’s now on short list for #Bachelor”

It’s not the worst idea. Thanks to his mom, we all know Lochte is currently single. Tell me I’m not the only one who has a morbid curiosity what a “Ryan Lochte Most. Shocking. Rose. Ceremony. Ever.” would look like. As for Dancing, many former Olympians (Shawn Johnson, Apolo Ohno) have had success cashing in their name recognition and competitive spirit for sequins and ridiculousness.

Beyond reality shows, a buzzy Michael Phelps hosted Saturday Night Live in September 2008 (with so-so results) after returning from the Games. Will Lochte follow swimsuit?

Can you believe this wacky All-Stars season features all top three finishers from season 8? What are the chances? This show has been on for decades! Melissa Rycroft, Shawn Johnson, and Gilles Marini will face off again — probably with their feet on the ground, to avoid citations from Lift Police Chief Inaba. Will any of them make it to season 15′s freestyle night? Help me rank the whole cast….

Will the recapper please reveal her scores? Barrett Ann-Inahhhhhh-ber!

'Dancing With the Stars Live' cast: Here's what happens in Vegas! -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , , , TV

Last weekend I made the fantastic voyage to Planet Mirrorballus’ desert satellite to check out Dancing With the Stars: Live in Las Vegas — which got an extended run until August 5. See my review of the show here!

Our Pros Tristan MacManus and Lacey Schwimmer, Vegas host Carson Kressley, and season 4 runner-up Joey Fatone sat down with me backstage to dish on casino living and the difference between Live in Vegas and the “Liiiiiiiiiive! From Hollywood!” version we see on TV.  (Tristan has since left the show due to a knee injury — as you can see, he was already “elevating.” What the heck is that on his shoe?)
