Congrats to Iraq War Veteran and âDancing with the Starsâ contestant J.R. Martinez who will be riding down Colorado Boulevard and tossing the Rose Bowl Coin on January 2, 2012 as the Grand Marshal for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. Martinez will serve in honor of all wounded servicemen and servicewomen. The tournament theme this year is “Just Imagine⌔, which fits well with Martinez’ experience on DWTS. He is definitely encouraging people to reach higher and try harder.
âWhen I was first asked to be Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses festivities by President Jackson, I was speechless,â said Martinez. âTo be able to participate in this iconic American tradition on New Yearâs Day is something I could only imagine. I believe everything happens for a reason and Iâm grateful the events of my life have provided me with the opportunity to share my message of hope and possibility on New Yearâs Day.â
âJ.R. Martinez is an inspiration to us all and a natural fit for our theme ‘Just ImagineâŚ,’â said Rick Jackson, president of the Tournament of Roses. âJ.R. is not only a courageous and engaging role model for us all but has dedicated himself to helping not only servicemen and servicewomen, but all Americans facing challenges. His outlook on life is admirable and we couldnât be happier to have the chance to celebrate the New Year with him as we entertain the millions of fans around the world during the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game.â
Week 7 of the Dancing With the Stars brought us a Halloween special complete with special effects, themed dances, and elaborate makeup and costumes on the dancers, hosts, judges, and even the band members.
To start the night, David and Kym performed a cha cha (complete with magic tricks) to âAbracadabraâ by Steve Miller Band. David is still working hard, but taking plenty of time to let his goofy side out. Len said his dance provided lots of tricks and lots of treats, Bruno shouted some inscrutable praise, and Carrie Ann was impressed with Davidâs phenomenal improvement. Triple 8s gave the pair a 24.
J.R. and Karina tangoed to the theme from âGhostbusters.â Karina was undoubtedly the sexiest ghost Iâve ever seen, and J.R. was a crowd-pleaser as usual. Bruno said the performance was solid, even though J.R. lost his timing a little bit. Carrie Ann loved the tone of the dance, but Len thought that it was substandard compared to J.R.âs previous weeks. The pair scored a 25 (9, 8, 8).

Hi there everyone and welcome to this weekâs Dancing with the Stars Recap. Last week we saw Carson Kressley get kicked off the dance floor, this week DWTS celebrated the Great White Way and Broadway.
During Rehearsal Week, Rob Kardashianâs mother Kris Jenner dropped by the dance studio to offer Rob some words of encouragement. Jenner said Rob has gone from a boy to a man and she was proud of him. She said Rob used to be a shy boy who could never do something like this. Jenner said Rob has a lot of competition against people who are used to being competitive and added itâs time for Rob to do the job and itâs time to kick some ass and he canât be nice anymore! Such motherâs love, she kisses her son with that mouth? J Rob said he was ready to âkick some buttâ, glad to see his language was cleaner than his momâs!
Rob and his dance partner Cheryl led the show off with the Cha-cha-cha to Walk like a Man from Jersey Boys (p.s. It doesnât get any better than Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!). Rob opened the song with a nice little butt shimmy and then gave the crowd some big hip thrusts. He displayed nice footwork and technique but seemed a little too focused on technique and was a bit stiff throughout the dance.
Judge Len said it was clean and precise and good timing but the Cha-cha-cha has got to show rhythm and to Len there was no rhythm tonight and was a bit âstiff and starchy (Reminder to self: pick up my dry cleaning tomorrow). I must be getting better at this; even I recognized Rob seemed stiff. Judge Bruno said itâs Opening Night on Broadway and he has to take it on full board from the beginning. He added the dance was adequate but didnât have the impact or power it should have and that Rob has to be in charge and more forceful with his movements. Judge Carrie Ann said it wasnât as great as Robâs performance last week but she saw much more charisma coming from him than she ever has. She said Rob is right on the cusp of being a man on the dance floor; heâs not a kid, not a man but an adolescent and getting there.
Robâs overall score from the judges: 22.
The results show began with Val and Peta and two troupe members dancing to the classic Madonna hits, âLike a Virginâ and âLike a Prayer.â Excuse me for a second while I count my rubber Madonna bracelets. The eveningâs first results revealed that Ricki and… Read More »Dancing With the Stars, Week 5 Elimination – So Long, Sparkles
Get your parachute pants on, you guys! Itâs â80s week at Dancing With the Stars! The Bangles (who still look great) opened the show with a performance of âEternal Flameâ and âWalk Like an Egyptian.â Iâm pretty sure I performed the same two songs on my parentsâ coffee table.
Hope and Maksâ tango exemplified their love hate relationship as they rocked to Bon Joviâs âLivinâ on a Prayerâ (yay New Jersey!). Len noted that Hope lacked body strength, but liked the way she attacked the dance. Carrie Ann agreed her lines were awkward, but still sees potential in Hope. Triple 8s gave the pair a total score of 24.
Carson and Anna jived to âWake Me Up Before You Go Goâ by Wham! After rocking leg warmers in rehearsal, they sported cheerleader uniforms, complete with pompom wristbands, on the dance floor. Bruno proclaimed the dance a crowning achievement in madness. Carrie Ann saw little technique, which she doesnât think is okay in week 5. Len wasnât sure the dance was good enough for Carson to make it back next week. As usual, Carsonâs score of 19 (6, 6, 7) wasnât great, but he remains a huge crowd-pleaser.
