Please welcome guest recap author Brittany Vollmer. The Disney Chick will return next week with her regular coverage. It was an interesting night for sure on Dancing with the Stars. For the first time ever the stars were put through an Instant Dance Round…most of… Read More »Dancing With The Stars: Week 8 Performances
For many years Ice Skating was the most watched sport on TV. It’s popularity has dried up a bit since the days of Tanya Harding and, later, Kristi Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi later went on to be crowned champion of the sixth season of ABCs Dancing With… Read More »ABC Announces Cast of “Skating With The Stars”
Two interesting origin stories to link to today. Both are some of Disney’s biggest hits, but neither had an easy path to success. Wired Magazine profiles the 16 year journey it took to bring Phineas and Ferb to the Disney Channel and The Hollywood Reporter… Read More »Origin Stories
Tonight marked a historic election – America had spent all day voting, and the entire country was now glued to the television, waiting to see the results. Oh, and there was some other Midterm thing. The 200th episode! I have watched 200 of these things.… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 7 Results
Five years. 1000 dances. 121 stars. 200 episodes. Dancing with the Stars has come a long way since it started, and it was an anniversary (Milestone? What do you call a “200th episode”?) celebration worth watching. The show opened with a routine featuring all the… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 7 Performances
I’m a California native, and if there is one cliché I hate about my state it is the earthquake. They show up way too frequently on TV. Way more frequently than they actually happen to us. But I didn’t mind at all on tonight’s episode of No Ordinary Family. And why is that? Because they weren’t real earthquakes.
In fact, this was pretty much a perfect episode of the show as far as I am concerned.
Last night, DWTS redefined rock (rock = shiny clothes) and tonight, one of our stars will be kicked off the tour bus. The leaderboard got rocked like a hurricane, and the night’s lowest scoring couples were Bristol/Mark, Kurt/Anna, and – gasp – Jennifer/Derek. Of those three, Kurt/Anna and Bristol/Mark were safe, leaving Jennifer and Derek in jeopardy. Tonight’s results are going to be interesting.
More surprises – Bristol and Mark were given the encore this week. Fine with me – I didn’t get a chance to appropriately admire Mark’s footwear last night. Purple shoes – not just for Grimace anymore.
Heart was the first musical guest of the evening, providing a rare moment of genuine rock in this Rock Week. For reals – someone threw a microphone stand and it rolled around while the professionals were trying to dance. I hope the Wilson sisters trashed the dressing rooms.
Another round of results – Rick/Cheryl were safe, and Kyle/Lacey were in jeopardy (nooooo).
Since it is Rock Week, it was only fitting to have a montage called Actual Rock Stars Discuss Ballroom Dancing. Yes, ballroom dancing is exactly like being a rock star. Little known fact – Bret Michaels, Dee Snider, Alice Cooper – all closet ballroom experts. Is this all a big tease for Season 12, possibly titled “Dancing with the Rock Stars”? Please say yes.
Hold onto your bandannas and bust out the eyeliner, because it’s Rock Week on Dancing with the Stars. What does this mean, other than that our stars must dance to rock songs? Whatever happened to just plain ol’ “Dance Week”? And really, how “rock” can… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 6 Performances
