Samantha Gives Ashlee A Thumbs-Up
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
The last few weeks haven’t been too easy for Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, being fired from her first major acting job on “Melrose Place.” But Ash is bouncing back big time, preparing for her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in “Chicago.” She has a supporter in her predecessor, Samantha Harris of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Harris gushed to E! over Ashlee’s taking over the role. “Ashlee is adorable and talented. She can bring in a younger audience, plus has some international appeal.” Sounds good, but will Ash have better luck on the Great White Way than she did on network TV?

Will Julianne Hang Up Her Dancing Shoes?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Last fall, Julianne Hough stated she would not return for the next season of “Dancing with the Stars,” but the producers lured her back by offering her hunky honey Chuck Wicks a spot on the show.
Now the two-time “DWTS” champ says she’s sitting out next season, and it looks like she means it this time. Chuck and Julianne were voted off the show this week, and both plan to get back to their careers in country music. Hough told Access Hollywood, “I’m not doing next season. I’m gonna take one off.
“We definitely went further than anticipated. I think he could have made it a little bit further, but you know what? It’s the name of the game and it’s about fan base and hopefully our country fans will follow us into music.”
Could this too-cute couple be the next Tim and Faith? They have the looks, even if they don’t yet have the hits!

“Dancing” Dumps Denise
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
They don’t like you, Denise. They really don’t like you. The mostly female fans of “Dancing with the Stars” gave actress/reality star Denise Richards the boot last night, making her the season’s second contestant to hoof it off the stage.
Richards’ rep as a husband-stealing homewrecker, combined with her lackluster performance in the ballroom, gave America’s housewives enough reasons to kick her to the curb. Biggest winner of the evening was her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s fiancée Karina Smirnoff. Not only is her man Max no longer spending hours every day in the clutches of the devious Denise, Karina and her partner, lovable teddy bear Steve Wozniak, managed to avoid being in the bottom two despite one of the worst judges’ scores ever in the history of the show. It looks like the Woz may be this season’s Cloris or Springer—the contestant the viewers vote for in spite of the judges.
Who’s going home next? I’d bet on Playboy model Holly Madison, whose killer bod can’t make up for her lack of coordination.

Chulianne Needs Your Vote!
Friday, March 20th, 2009
Julianne Hough has coached two winners on “Dancing with the Stars,” but faces a unique challenge this year—training her real-life boyfriend Chuck Wicks. The country heartthrob has one big thing going for him—he’s hot. Other than that, he’s a mess. How long can the Ken&Barbie cuteness of Chulianne keep this pair in the running when Chuck’s just not improving?
One way is to beg your fans for votes. That’s just what Julianne did today in her MySpace blog:

At Disney World without Chuck…. lol
Hey guys,I just finished a show here at disney world for the childrens miracle network. it was such a cool experience to meet all the champion kids… makes you really appreciate what you have and what you can do to help raise awareness for them…im just laying in bed with lexi [her spaniel], she is on my right arm asleep so it’s taking me forever to type cause im doing it with my left hand…lol
anyways i’m just laying here thinking about how hard it’s gonna be to start teaching chuck our dance for next week tomorrow. we are so behind because we are both still touring. he is in new hampshire tonight i think… i get on a flight at 5:50am to CT to meet him for his show. we should get a couple of hours of training in before he goes on… and then we both fly again the next morning at about 5am to Mississippi for a show i’m doing there… hopefully you guys will vote this week, i think we are really going to need it!!!
Yeah, you probably are. If Clutzy Chuck can’t shape up by the time the really bad dancers go home, this darling duo won’t be long in the ballroom.

Kim K. Picks “Dancing” Winners
Friday, March 13th, 2009
Voluptuous Kim Kardashian didn’t get very far on last season’s “Dancing with the Stars” but she still has warm feelings for the show and told RadarOnline how she felt about this year’s crop of ballroom hopefuls. Who has Kim picked as the front-runners?
“There are three that I think are really good. I think Shawn Johnson is so amazing. There’s something about those Olympians that they have that drive and determination. Of course she’s with my partner Mark [Ballas] who I think is amazing. Then I thought Gilles [Marini] was amazing. Cheryl was amazing and I thought they looked hot together. And then I think of Steve-O. He could be someone that really surprises everyone. And the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader ['The Bachelor'’s Melissa Rycroft] is also pretty good.”
So who’s going to win? Kim says, “I’m gonna give it up to Mark and Shawn Johnson.”
Who’s going home first? “I would say Steve [Wozniak], the Apple guy. I think he’s not gonna make it too far.”
Kim’s choices sound right-on to me. Especially since The Woz was spotted this week with one leg in a cast. He was bad enough before he was injured.
