Talking Tech with Maria Menounos and Derek Hough
This is kind of an odd little interview in USA Today, but I think this team will take all the PR they can get at this point. They are being pretty much ignored by the other entertaiment shows besides E! and Extra.
Hough: “Because I’m choreographing the dance and I’m also in it, I need to see what we’re doing. I need a third eye. Using the iPhone or iPad to record is crucial. After I teach her the routines, I can view the video to see what I can’t see when I’m dancing with her, and e-mail her the video. I used to use a video camera, which now seems so old-fashioned, because the iPhone can do much more. It’s with me all the time, it’s high-definition, and I can e-mail directly from the device.”
Menounos watches the videos at the end of the night, while relaxing in an Epsom salt bath. “It’s a learning tool. I say, ‘Why did I bend that leg? The arm is supposed to be somewhere else.’ ”
The pair make frequent iPhone videos, which are posted online, aimed at getting viewers to vote to keep them in the Stars competition.
I had to add this picture from the Daily Mail – they get so little right, credit where due.









mmmmmmmmmmmmm treasure trail
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
I believe I remember the treasure trail conversation from quite awhile ago! I can see why it would surface again here!
They are both sooo cute!!! Can’t wait for their new dance! Love Derek’s 3rd eye perspective for choreo. Fascinating!
Team Menough is sizzling hot!! Go Maria & Derek!
Nice photo tips from Derek!-He always amazes me…
Awwww…..look
Derek Hough @derekhough
@mariamenounos is the greatest partner I’ve ever had and ever will have! #menoughsaid
I think maria is really a strong girl because even with her leg, shes still dancing!! And i think there soo cute together i love it that they get soo romantic
Sheery… Derek tweeted after that tweet that Maria hacked his phone/twitter! LOL! But Maria is quickly becoming my favorite partner of his (Jen Grey is still my #1). I hope Maria can tough it out for 5 more week!
Shucks! I must have gotten off computer before he tweeted
…oh well, that was funny.
