DWTS Season 11, Week 6 – Odds & Ends Media Part 1
So much to report today! Good thing Heidi has collaborated with me on this one again!! 
First up, more news on next week’s shows. According to Playbill, the 200th show, along with Rod Stewart and Taylor Swift, will include a broadway performance from the cast of “Mary Poppins”.
The 200th episode of “Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show,” which airs Nov. 2 at 8 PM ET on ABC, will feature the cast of Mary Poppins. Led by Caroline Sheen as Mary and Nicolas Dromard as Bert, the company will perform “Step in Time.” The performance will mark the second time “Dancing with the Stars” has hosted a Disney on Broadway musical. Last year, the cast of The Lion King performed “Circle of Life.”
Also, for you Damian Whitewood and Peta Murgatroyd fans like myself, stay tuned. She’s confirmed to me at facebook that the two will be dancing in the Results show again this week. They’ve been tweeting about it too. *dies* I love these two!!
There is also more news on Maks’ and Brandy’s special Halloween appearance on The Ellen Show today from The Examiner. Apparently, he’s going to be escorting Brandy as Prince Charming. Brandy will be dressed as Minnie Mouse. Be sure to tune in today on ABC. It’s an Ellen show you won’t want to miss.
Speaking of Maks and Brandy, more pics have been released of their “OK” shoot and the full interview has been released. Here is one of the pictures and a snippet from the article. Be sure to see and read more at the link. 9 photos in total.
What’s the most important thing being on Dancing With the Stars has taught you?Brandy: Staying in the moment. Dance is all about trusting the moment and letting the dance flow through you, instead of over analyzing.
It’s a lot of exercise. How are you feeling?Brandy: Great, very energized. I’m starting to develop some calf muscles and we all want those Britney Spears legs, so if I keep dancing and keep doing my lunges, I’ll have some killer legs. And my midsection is looking a little muscular. Not a six-pack yet but watch out, Janet Jackson!
What surprised you about doing DWTS?Brandy: The level of fear that comes with the show is unexpected. You are so
nervous on Mondays. There’s judgment, constructive criticism and being compared to other people. I’m really proud that I’m able to get out there every Monday.
Maks: I think she retains choreography quick, but she still gets nervous on Mondays and it can jeopardize our performance. But I feel like now, week by week, she gets more and more comfortable.Are you enjoying the costumes?Brandy: Oh, when I wear the costumes I feel like a completely different
person. With the hair and the makeup — I feel like a real-life Barbie doll. My favorite so far was the one for the samba. It was really tight at the top and flowy at the bottom. I felt really sexy in it and I don’t feel sexy a lot in my real life!
In other fun interviews out there, Lacey talks to TooFab. Here is a take from that interview.
On her chances of winning with partner Kyle Massey …“You never have any idea with this show. Obviously, we ‘d love to be at the end, but at the same time we’re happy we’ve made it this far!”
On Audrina’s elimination …“She’s so lovable and so sweet and was doing amazing on the show. I was definitely shocked to see her go. At this point in the game though, we’re shocked no matter what. We’re like a family, we never want to see anybody go. She’ll be really missed.”
On why Bristol Palin’s lasted so long, despite low scores …“She’s more of the underdog and she knows she’s the underdog. She’s working her butt off, she’s sweet and such a great girl, she’s having a blast.”
On dancing with Kyle …“He’s like a little brother. He’s super fun at all of our rehearsals. And I totally understand how my mom felt raising me and my brother.”
On what we haven’t seen on the show …“Kyle has a basketball he named Jacko Wilson. It can’t leave his sight during rehearsals. He’ll go talk to it for 5 minutes. We play basketball, kickball with Jacko. It’s really fun.”
On their toughest competition …“At this point, it’s hard to say. We’re all really consistent at this point, but there are ones that will definitely make it to the finale, like Jennifer [Grey].”
And YOU GO William Shatner on Jimmy Kimmel!! Check out who he thinks is “America’s Greatest Dancer” and even compares him to Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in one. I have to say he’s pinned it about Derek. What do you think? He loves Dancing With The Stars. See why here.
More coming up Guys. So, stay tuned!! 
I’m so glad I discovered you few...
Hum, for some reason I have developed a sudden paranoia of “The Shat” ending up on next season.
Lisa, from the interview, I don’t think he’d consider that, because he doesn’t want to take time off from the stuff he’s working on.
And I looked up the third part of that interview, from the way it ended, I knew it wasn’t complete. And it’s Shatner dancing the waltz with Kimmel….. Oh my gosh, it’s funny!!!!!
Shatner is way too much in demand right now to need DWTS. Dude was fantastic on Boston Legal and if his current sitcom fails I’m sure they’ll want him for something else.
That’s a horrendous photo of Brandy&Maks.
Now see I really like that photo of Maks and Brandy. She looks young and happy. The teal colour is amazing on her. I love the sockless Maks in his slipper shoes. What don’t you like about it?
I love that photo too Meggie. The others are beautiful too imo!
Really?? Well, opinions vary that’s for sure. Her head looks double the size of his and she has bruised legs. He looks like he actually has some belly fat (how did they manage that in a dancer’s body?) and I hate those formal clothes with no socks. Oh and there’s something weird going on in his groin area. :blush
Well I guess it wasn’t airbrushed. How refreshing!
I work in Photoshop all the time. There’s a big difference between correcting minor flaws and inventing people that don’t exist (which magazines do all the time). If I can choose to have a pimple or a bruise removed, please do it. But the problem for me in this photo is not so much lack of airbrushing, it’s the weird pose and wrong lightning.
And as far as her legs go, they could have just applied some cover (they do that on DWTS all the time)
Wow, I really like that picture of Brandy and Maks – as for Maks’ belly…he’s sitting down. It’s a rare human that can do that and not have a tiny bulge – you have to be whippet thin, like Derek, to manage it and I’m not sure that’s such a good thing either. I think they both look great. The only part I’m not crazy about is the shoes sans socks look.
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Anyone else on the east coast who’s getting Ellen pre-empted by President Obama right now?????? oh well…. this is important… thank goodness for youtube….. did see a quick snip of their upcoming dance on the show…and yep, Prince Charming and Minnie Mouse… crazy poofy dress….long tails on Maks…but it was a quick look…..
As for the pic above, I appreciate the realness of the photo… I think both are beautiful and I do love that color and necklace on her….not digging the no socks look…. just never have liked that….but that’s ok I can TRY to keep my eyes focused above the ankles =)
Day, we’ll have you covered in “Odd and Ends Media Part 2″. Stay tuned.
shit I love the shat.
Oh, God, I can’t imagine what Laurie Schwimmer felt while raising Lacey and Benji. Probably worse than me and my brother.
Anyways, I also love the photo of Brandy and Maks. Just because there’s a little belly fat doesn’t mean it’s bad. And I bruise easily all the time. Sasa, it’s better to go natural than fake. I get it, a little would’ve helped a little, and I’m not talking MAJOR Photoshop (a la Madonna). Even a little Photoshop gets me mad, since everybody has flaws, so what’s the point in covering them up? Even that little bit makes me think “FAKE”. Because they’re faking that they don’t have that certain flaw, don’t they?
What can I say, I still hate it even if I’m the only one. I think that those 2 are much better looking people than the photo shows. As for the natural vs. fake, I wear make-up so who am I to judge. And as far as belly fat goes, I have nothing against it (my man has it in abundance) but I know Maks’ body looks much tighter than that. And not everyone has belly fat. There is a photo of Edyta somewhere on this site where she is sitting and slouching much more then Maks here and you can see only loose skin, no fat whatsoever. I’m not saying I find that somehow better than this, I’m just saying- if a female dancer can have a fat free stomach so can a male, I would think. And his whole styling here looks like he should be on Jersey Shore.
