Dancing With The Stars – Derek Hough Talks On The Season 12 DWTS Cast (Video)

We haven’t seen much of Derek for a week or more….not even at Twitter (*CRIESSS*). But, he’s been tweeting a little today and last night, he made an appearance at the opening of the flagship Badgley Mischka store in Beverly Hills. Below he talks Access Hollywood about the new cast of Dancing With The Stars, who he is supporting, his new movie, and more. For some great photos and all the most recent news on him, be sure to stop by PureDerekHough.com for all the latest.

Derek, many of us feel the show is “weird” without you too.

Great interview! So missed him tweeting this week. In regards to who he is supporting, I was not all surprised that he said Mark. I know its been rumored for a few weeks now, but looks like Julianne will start filming her next movie, “Rock of Ages” in May (a month after Derek starts his) Congrats to the Houghs.

Nice interview with Derek – he acts like no one has asked those questions before, a good interviewee, which is important IMO.

Thanks for the links in the comments – fun to see. Anyone else have this reaction? I’m clicking through the official pics for each couple…click…click…click…Oy! Maks and Kirstie!…click…click.

Thanks Karla. I’m actually quite impressed with this season’s promo photos – everyone looks really pretty/handsome. We’re already hard at work on the next edition of “Who Wore it Better?”, but I do need a little help from our faithful readers Does anyone out there recognize either Cheryl’s dress or Kirstie’s dress in the promo photos? I’ve identified everything else, but those 2 are stumping me. I know I’ve seen Cheryl’s dress before, but Kirstie’s doesn’t even look remotely familiar to me. Anyone that can give me a valid, specific answer (I need to know the couple and the dance…i.e. “Gilles & Cheryl’s tango”) gets a shout out in the next edition of Who Wore it Better
# Maddy commented on March 4, 2011:
I think Kristie’s dress was worn by Misty May???
# Ryan commented on March 4, 2011:
I think Cheryl wore that dress before when she did that toy story paso doble.
# Courtney commented on March 4, 2011:
And Ryan just earned himself a shout out Great catch, dude…now if only I could find a decent picture of Cheryl in that dance…apparently there aren’t any. Bonus points if anyone can find me a decent pic of Cheryl dancing to the Gipsy King’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” with Tony in season 10!

Sorry Maddy – I don’t think Kirstie’s dress is one of the ones Misty wore. She wore one very similar for her foxtrot, but it’s not it. Thanks for looking, though!

Great interview. Derek seems to be really excited about this new role as well as learning the different dance styles. I wish him the best and will miss him on S12. Bet the dance scens will be spectacular!

Just found out that Derek will not be on this year. What a bummer! He’s one of the main reasons the show was so enjoyable and why I liked watching it. Seems like the show will be “lacking” this year!
