A couple months ago, ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ announced an upcoming all-star season in which they’d bring back contestants from years past to compete for ultimate bragging rights (and, we assume, a moon-sized mirrorball trophy). Now we know who those celeb dancers will be.
Thanks to a hip-shaking performance at the CMA awards, Luke Bryan caught the attention of fellow country stars Lady Antebellum. Lady A’s Charles Kelley voiced his opinion that the ‘Drunk on You’ singer should be the next country celeb to take the stage on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’
After last week’s revelation that none of this season’s performers on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ are mock-worthy, about all we can do now is cheer for our favorites (or, for the snarkier among us, at least hope someone has an off-week).
In preparation for tonight’s premiere of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ Jaleel “Urkel” White, Gladys Knight, William Levy, and the rest of the contestants have been seriously breaking a sweat in preparation for their first performances.
The cast of season 14 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ was just announced, and among the usual boring parade of C-list “stars” (Melissa Gilbert?) and random athletes looking for a career boost (how soon before Donald Driver is dating Kim Kardashian?), there was one fantastic inclusion. The fact that Jaleel White, aka Steve Urkel of ‘Family Matters’ fame, has only just been included on the Vegas-y dance-athon is pretty surprising. If anyone is suited to cutting a rug on TV, it’s the man formerly known as Urkel (and also Stefan Urquelle).
We started out 10 weeks ago with 12 couples. A few shocking eliminations later, it was down to three: Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough.
So who took home the big prize of that shiny mirrorball trophy?
April 13, 2011 So much for a knockout.
After four weeks in the competition, 'Dancing With the Stars' pair Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskaya were eliminated from the competition.
The news came just one day after the duo's entertaining Viennese waltz, which earned them a score of 21 from the judges.
April 12, 2011 Poor Kirstie Alley. Just one week after she fell on the 'Dancing With the Stars' ballroom floor, the Emmy-winning actress suffered another unfortunate mishap.
In this case, it was her shoe that fell (off). Midway through her routine last night, a noticeably embarrassed Alley remained seated on the floor for a few moments while she put herself back together again.
Luckily, the performance hiccup didn't deter her too much. As was the case last week, Alley got right back on her feet and finished her performance with grace and style -- not to mention a solid score of 22.
