Dancing With The Stars 12 – Hines Ward: “It is still surreal to me being the champ of dwts.”
Be thinking and sending positive thoughts to Hines Ward. Today he’s having surgery on his thumb. Prior to the surgery yesterday, he gave the 96.1 Kiss Morning Freak Show in Pittsburgh a new interview where he talks about his time in Los Angeles, and his journey and friendship with Kym on Dancing With The Stars. He has seen Kym every day since the Finals. He also talks of making an appearance at the CMT Awards in June for those interested. You can listen to the audio >>>>HERE.
Also, here is a picture of Hines’ son and a take expaining it from Hines’ facebook page. So cute!
Man it sure does feel good to be back home. It is still surreal to me being the champ of dwts. I’m relaxing by the pool with my son catching up on dad time. He wanted to try the band outfit on. Haha he’s so funny. Well, wishing everyone a happy but safe Memorial Day weekend and wanted to give a special thanks to the men and woman who served our country. God bless. Hines
I liked this interview too. Hope his surgery went well. I chuckled when he said he hated needles. I hope we continue to see Hines in the spotlight for awhile. He seems like a nice guy outside his role on DWTS.
His little boy is adorable he looks like a ‘mini hines’ . They dont get to keep any of their costumes do they?
Loved this interview. I heard that as well that he hated needles, I guess even the toughest on the field are still softies at times. I have a feeling we will be seeing much more of Hines OFF the football field. He has charmed his way into the spotlight I believe.
I have heard they can buy the costumes if they want to. I can’t remember who said that – I think it was Kristi Yamaguchi.
Kristi Yamaguchi bought all of her dresses/costumes from her season. Mark did a great job dressing her…I especially loved her Paso Doble dress.
I especially love what looks like a pirate sword to go with the rest of the outfit. HEE. Almost as funny as the image of a pub crawl with the mirrorball trophy. Love it!
I’ve heard that they can buy the costumes but I’m pretty sure I’ve also read an interview with the guy in charge of the costuming department (ugh, his name escapes me at the moment) where he said that they (the costume dept) keep EVERY outfit they’ve ever made for the show. So maybe the celebs are just paying to have a duplicate made…? I’m not sure.
Randall Christiansen. Saying they keep “all” the costumes I think is a bit of hyperbole on his part. Not only did kristi buy all hers, but I would swear the show sold some outside too, for charity. I have this vague recollection of a fan getting one.
