DWTS – Media Who Is It, Dance With me Updates
Hi!!! How are all of you Pure Dancettes today?? Just a few media updates. First of all, would you like to guess which pro-dancer this is? Answer will be revealed in the comment section tomorrow sometime. 😉
Next, and special thanks to PureDWTS fan Evaine, here is Maks with a new “Dance with me Soho” update. He tells us what he’s been up to and introduces Tony as his new partner in his dance studio ventures. They both are shooting a really HOT photo shoot that I can’t get enough of. I want too see more. Maks has disabled the embedding, but, you can SEE IT >>>HERE at his You Tube Channel.
Special thanks to PureDWTS fan Figmentation for more news on the “Same Sex Couple” idea. It sounds like ABC is canning the idea for now. Here is a take from Celebuzz.
After toying with the idea of including a same-sex couple on the next season of Dancing With the Stars, ABC has abandoned the notion, PopEater’s Rob Shuter reports.
A source within the network tells Shuter that the plan fell through after Ellen DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi turned down an offer to appear on the show and ABC was unable to come up with a non-controversial replacement:
“If Portia had agreed then this would have been a done deal. She was the only star that could have pulled this off without completely offending the program’s conservative viewers.”
Now, the source adds, producers have decided to hold off on the idea for a few years, hoping that cultural attitudes change, and don’t plan to “rush into creating a same-sex dancing couple just to get attention and publicity.”
In other DWTS ideas and possible contenders, what do you think about the idea of Lindsay Lohan as a contestant next Season? I’m kind of negative on the idea. It depends if she’s kicked her drug habits and done her time. Though that is controversial in and of itself being she’s never had to fully serve it. Why, I don’t know? Don’t the courts realize how much they are hurting her by letting her have her way? But, here is Kyle Massey’s thoughts. He’d also like to see Oprah and Kayne West do the show. Oh boy, not sure on the Kayne West idea either. 😮
Speaking of Kyle, he and Lacey helped with “Skating With The Stars” this past week. Unfortunately, the couple they helped had to back out since one of them was sick. From The Examiner. I love Lacey’s advice on how every “move” should mean something and be performed with intent. So true.
‘Dancing with the Stars’: Kyle, Lacey coach ‘Skating’s’ Brandon, Keauna — One of the most popular pairs from Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars appeared again on television Monday night. Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer were brought in to coach Skating with the Stars’ competitors Brandon Mychal Smith and his professional partner, Keauna McLaughlin.
Mr. Smith and Ms. McLaughlin visited the dancing couple in the dance studio. There, they learned about choreography. Lacey Schwimmer told Brandon Smith that every move had to mean something. Each move must be performed with intent and tell part of the story the routine was trying to convey to the audience.
Although the skating pair seemed to gain ground from the Dancing with the Stars duo, unfortunately illness prevented Brandon Smith from competing live Monday evening. His partner, Keauna McLaughlin was in costume and ready to perform in case he appeared at the last minute, but he did not. Instead, ABC ran a video of the pair’s last rehearsal, shot on Sunday.
If you are in Las Vegas on Dec. 10th, be sure to check out Karina Smirnoff as she is planning to join the Chippendales and host “Ultimate Girl’s Night Out”. Here is take from Vegas News. Check the link for ticket information and more if interested.
On Friday, December 10, the Men of Chippendales – the global icon in women’s entertainment – will be joined by Karina Smirnoff of Dancing with the Stars, as she celebrates her new engagement with girlfriends and also hosts The Ultimate Girls Night Out!.
Karina will join the Chippendales onstage as part of the show’s ongoing celebrity guest host series which has recently featured The Bachelor winner Vienna Girardi and model/actress Estella Warren. In addition, Karina will be escorted on the red carpet by the iconic men who have recently been voted the Best of Las Vegas 2010 – Best Male Revue by both editors and readers of the Las Vegas Review Journal. A fan and media favorite of the hit ABC television show, Karina will be joined by a group of girlfriends, all coming to Las Vegas to celebrate her recent engagement to Major League baseball pitcher, Brad Penny, at Chippendales.
Movieline has rated their Top 10 Reality Shows for 2010. They’ve put “Dancing With The Stas” at #10. Here’s why…
10. Dancing with the StarsTV’s schmaltziest hour of dance and pseudo-fame is usually worth a couple episodes of actual entertainment, but this year, Bristol Palin’s relentless survival turned the show into a musical remake of Network. Fans rioted, ratings boomed, dignity died, and viewer outrage felt as flammable as one of Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s leisure suits. Though Jennifer Grey won the season, it was Bristol Palin’s weak hoofing and dictatorial reign that made for violently good TV.
I promised….I am not going to say a word. 😮 lol
Lastly, here is Chelsey and Kym on Access Hollywood doing a promo for their “Dancing” workout DVDs. Margaret Cho joins them as well.
Ok Kids, that is all for now. Though if you haven’t done so yet, don’t forget to VOTE in our “End of The Season Awards” >>>>>HERE!! Also, a reminder to VOTE in the “People’s Choice Awards” as well if you want to see the show and your favorite dancers win an award(s) this year >>>>HERE!!
Bailar el tango!!!xxx
Since you brought up the subject of who might be..or not be…dancing next season, I’d like to throw out a suggestion for a possible candidate.
I would LOVE to see Dee Snider on DWTS. There is just something about his personna that would be interesting to watch. I feel fairly certain he would never crawl out of a doghouse 🙂
It’s Mark. It’s weird how i can tell that by seeing only his left eye when i do not even like him that much 😀
I find it interesting that Movieline used the word “dicatatorial” to describe Bristol’s tenure on the show. Interesting indeed 🙂
No no NO to Lohan. While I absolutely loved recent rehabber Steve-O on the show (it seemed therapeutic for him), I don’t think it would have the same effect on Lindsay. If anything I think it could just serve to enable her bad habits further by putting her back in the spotlight – her bad behavior always seems to flare up worst when she’s actually working.
Had an epiphany the other night while thinking of unpolitical, non-controversial people to fulfill the “wild card” typecast on DWTS next season – how about a fashion designer like Vera Wang or Betsey Johnson? The latter is an especially flamboyant character, and would probably have one of the most fun personalities we’ve ever seen on the show. Not to mention the wacky costumes she’d rock!
Ava,
LOL, I believe that’s Derek with the winter coat on, as he always gives the thumbs up!!
I’m missing seeing him dance that’s for sure. Wish there was a DWTS tour.
Heidi, Courtnery, John, Vogue, thanks for all that you do.

YES! How I’d love that idea!!!!!
Dee, you’re welcome and thanks so much for being a fan!!!!! 😉
@Courtney – a fashion designer would be great. I’m afraid they”ll get voted off early though. I can see tommy hilfiger do it. Who else?
Betsey said about a year ago that she turned down DWTS.

I want all female contestants to be contenders. I don’t care much about female pros. I don’t care if they all get voted off early. I want a season when all top 5 are male pros. LOL!
That is definitely Mark. But I already knew that cause of Twitter.
I’d be fine with Lindsay Lohan on the show. Honestly, through all this horrible behavior and media stuff, I still kind of like her. When I see Mean Girls or something I see a lot of potential gone to waste. She was really a pretty decent actress for her age (and style). While I agree that it might end up backfiring, it could also go well and endear her again to America – if she handled it right.
It’s Mark. The eyes gave it away.
Lindsay Lohan on season 12? I’m all for it! I’d like to see her paired up with Maks! That would make great TV!
Okay, it’s Mark, I looked at the eyes and the nose!-LOL Those jeans kind of threw me off with my guessing.
I still miss them dancing!!!
OMG, have u guys seen this?
Derek is the only one with his pants on. LOL

LOL Maddy! I don’t know where you found that, but I’ve got a serious case of the giggles now! 😛
Methinks I see some rolled up socks in that there lineup…
Same here!!! LOLLLL Courtney and Maddy!!!
Thanks, Vogue – more great stuff. Yep, definitely Mark hidden in that coat!
Of course Derek has his pants on, DAMMIT. 😉 The boy was afraid to take his shirt off on DWTS, of course he’s wearing pants. Very annoying. I find pants annoying.
ROTFL!!!!!!
LOL! That’s been going around for a few days now.
It must have been some photo shoot. More pics here.

Thats mark or Corky i think.
Jennifer, THAAAAANK YOU! 🙂 I don’t mind that Derek is the only one wearing jeans. Keeping it classy and sexy, IMO.
So, exactly why are the guys posing in their briefs? LOL. Those photos are way more funny to me than sexy. Maddy, I think you put a lot of us in a good mood, so thank you for that.
Yep, you are all correct. It’s Mark!! lol
