William Shatner Dances With Maria Menounos, Derek Hough Gives Hints On Paso Doble
Pictured above in a fun dance pose is William Shatner and Dancing With The Stars season 14 contestant Maria Menounos. William was a guest on Extra this past week. While promoting his new book “Get a Life” and a Hollywood Charity Horse Show this weekend, William took her in her arms to dance with her. He said he loves Dancing With The Stars. You can watch this fun interview below and see more pictures of them dancing at Getty Images. I wish William would do Dancing With The Stars in the future.
As many of you know, William has also said some really wonderful things about Derek in the past as a dancer. He said Derek is “America’s Greatest Dancer” and compared him to the likes of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Speaking of….did you see this tweet from Derek? He gives a hint of what he and Maria’s Paso Doble might be like…
Paso is coming along great this week . Queen Vampire Maria ready to bite !!!

I can’t wait. I love Derek’s Paso Dobles. They are always explosive. Bring it on, Derek and Maria!!
yes.. Captain Kirk knows best!!! and i do agree with him Derek is โAmericaโs Greatest Dancerโ! he recognizes a talent without frontiers! ๐ loved the kiss he stole from Maria!! ๐ a man of many talents!!
He looks like he can dance. Not bad at all.
Sweet interview! William Shatner “Captain Kirk” is the man~ He also called Derek an American Treasure! It says a lot when you get compliments of this magnitude from legendary actors and stars like W. Shatner & R. Philbin!
Excited to see Maria & Derek’s Paso! Go Team Menough!!
There’s no one quite like Bill Shatner. Because I was such a big Trek fan, I’m not sure I’d want to see him on DWTS. Not sure he has the moves and would hate to see him having to stand in front of the likes of Bruno Tonioli and get ridiculed.
Derek’s tweet has me super excited to see what he’s cooked up. Can’t wait for this dynamic, charismatic couple to take the floor with their Paso on Monday. Bring it on! ๐
is it bad that I was already pairing him up w a dance partner? I coul totally see him apired with Peta or Anna lol
He’s talking a lot this week, Cidra – that makes me think he’s got something. I hope they pull it off, whatever it is. And I wonder why he was carrying his guitar around…
Yeah, I was wondering too what he was doing with his guitar this weekend! I think it will be a very passionate Paso Doble!
William Shatner would be hilarious on DWTS, although at his age he probably wouldn’t have much for dance moves! ๐
Since the moment I’ve seen Derek’s comment when he posted it, I don’t know why, but it stuck on my head that they are dancing to “Bring me to life”. If they do I even more excited to see their Paso!!!! ๐
Aargh, PH, don’t tell me anymore. I’m really hoping for a breakthrough performance from Maria and Derek this week but don’t want to jinx anything. So I’m trying to just stay focused on enjoying the dance. Superstitious…who, me? Where did you get that idea? LOL
I hope that Maria invited Bill Shatner to come see the paso since he called Derek” Americas greatest dancer”, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly rolled into one, and” his choreography? he is an American treasure”.
I think that would qualify him as a “fan”LOL
Yes, looks like somethin’s up-excited to see what D and M will do and hoping for a great result.
