Also, below is some coverage after the Dancing With The Stars party with PopTVDotCom. Lots of fun stuff here. They love Henry…
ETA: Below is Michael Waltrip talking about his first dance and behind the scenes…
ETA2: If you go to People, you can read about Julianne Hough and the steps it took to get her all glammed up for last night. She looked just stunning…
“I loved my look tonight! I felt sexy, confident, and as though I went back in time!” Hough tells PEOPLE of her showstopping silver gown complete with daring neckline and high slit. And it was no accident that this “sexy, elegant and glamorous” number was the dress chosen for week one, says stylist Anita Patrickson.
“For the premiere episode we wanted to come out with a bang,” she shares. “This beaded gown felt sophisticated but sexy. It exudes Old Hollywood glamour but with a modern edge, which we found with the simple jewelry and clean pointed toe pumps.” And there wasn’t a lot of back-and-forth about what to wear, Patrickson says. “The moment we put it on, we knew it was the one! It felt like a modern day Marilyn Monroe moment.”
And below is an People interview with Tony and Betsey….
OMG!! Maks is leaving without Meryl!!!!! The world will never be the same.
What is going on with all this M&M garbage?
An actual romance with Maks? Come on! We all know that, no way, no how, would Maks ever date someone like Meryl. Never gonna happen.
Can’t we please just enjoy THIS season… And this cast. Thank you!
sorry I just have to vent. 🙂
Amen to everything you said, Sandy!!!!! Could it be that Meryl was taking care of her OWN business, catching a red-eye to NYC for GMA this morning? Sheesh! People can like each other without being “involved”.
Im with you sandy sick of showmances and looks like his brother may follow suit. Why cant we just have good dancing and progression without over the top touching and inferences.
I’m with you, Sandy. I’m sick of talking about Season 18. We have a great cast that is so likable and can dance. Can’t we talk about them? The glamour article really got me.
Oh, and thanks Lounge Lizard Grubman, for touting that big “surprise” on Twitter yesterday. I must say, the highlight of the evening for me was that 3-second shot of Maks & Meryl seated sorta-kinda by each other in the audience. I’m sure it was really worth the Maks’ fans’ time, since they weren’t planning on tuning in, y’know. Yet they all seemed to be tweeting about the show…the whole show…hmmmm…
I could not believe that Val said that “blossoming into something” crap, with a creeping Cheshire Cat smile. It gave me the feeling that he is utterly contemptuous of the whole competition/experience, and I hope he and Janel get tossed out asap.
@Susan – Without saying too much, I’ll just offer this up for consideration: Val may have been coached into saying that bit about “blossoming”. And by “may have been coached” – I mean they basically fed him the line and had him repeat it on camera. But that’s none of my business…*drinks tea like Kermit the frog* 😉
#Courtney — That Val was being disingenuous is clear. For me, any reference to or imitation of last season’s “M&M Extravaganza” cannot be anything but cynical and contemptuous — on behalf of those thinking that reviving this is a good/effective idea, and those who lend their voice to it. It’s like saying, “You know, if I tried, I bet I could get you to fall for this again.” Cynicism and contempt. Really really rubs me the wrong way. Obviously. 🙂
@Susan – Oh I’m not excusing Val – he’s a big boy and can refuse to repeat things like a trained monkey. But let’s just say that Janel & Val aren’t the only ones that seem to have a vested interest in pushing this showmance…
Ha!
I completely forgot about the Lizard’s tweet until I saw a peek of Maks in the audience and thought, “Oh, what’s going to happen. There’s a big surprise coming…..” and NOTHING.
When I saw Meryl in the audience later between Maks and Charlie and still waited for the big deal, imagine my ‘oh please’ when nothing happened. That was the supposed to be the big deal, that Maks and Meryl who won last season were in the audience for the premiere.
Um AND……….
I was more excited to see Joey Fatone, Kym Johnson, Ralph Macchio, Lacey Schwimmer and Rick Schroder.
Yeah, it’s really a “big surprise” when the previous season’s winner happens to be in the ballroom for the premiere. THAT doesn’t happen every season…oh. Wait…
The Washington Post (I think it was them – may have been NYT) gave a rundown of the competitors and their story line. Janel’s entire storyline was about showmancing…
Showmance between Val and Janel? Oh please! Her boyfriend (who she instagramed yesterday morning with the flowers and cards he brought for her) might have something to say about that. I think he gave up on showmance after Season 15. If fans want to create a showmance, there’s nothing to stop them, no matter what couple it is.
Errr, Val & Janel are the ones perpetuating the showmance themselves, Libby. As far as I’ve seen, quite a few of the fans are not having it…I think you’ve got it flip-flopped.
Actually, I don’t think I have it flip-flopped. I think Janel and Val are laughing into their sleeves.
HAHA Courtney, I was dreading the fact that they would show up on the dance floor with the way she was promoting it. I had my barf bags ready, just in case LOL. I’m so glad the camera was off them. I was happy to see post show pics of Amy, Danica and Charlie who didn’t make a such a big deal about their appearance on the show like Meryl and Lizzie. Meryl is busy promoting Janel and Val on her twitter account. This was before she even saw them dance. I’m going to call her Chmercockeryl. 😀
@Libby – Not sure why they’d be laughing into their sleeves when they’re alienating fans, but whatevs – to each his own.
I also thought it was strange that Meryl was campaigning for Val and Janel on twitter… The whole “keep it in the fam” mentality is strange to me. And then there’s Charlie, Amy, and Danica taking pictures with each other and supporting other contestants like Michael, Jonathan, and Lea. I guess there’s nothing wrong with supporting a specific couple, but the whole “Meryl and I think you all should vote for Val and Janel” that Maks tweeted (and Meryl retweeted) turned me off. I can think for myself, Maks, thanks!
I was so happy to see Amy and Charlie in a picture together… two of my faves from last season!
Emma, where did you see the pic of Charlie and Amy? I like both of them
last season. Maks definitely used that photo of Meryl and him to promote Val & Janel. So now I presume all the shippers will be voting for the couple. They are fast making me irritated now. Both M&M and Val and Janel.
Here ya go Ria. I just saw this too. So cute: http://instagram.com/p/tA-94ZpiFs/
Ria, Amy posted it on her twitter and instagram- amypurdygurl. She has one with Danica too.
#18 Yeah Emma, it is so annoying.
Thanks everybody. They look cute together. I did not see Amy last night or i could have missed her when they focused on her. I noticed Charlie was posing and talking to a lot of celebs/pros last night. Did Meryl talk/pose with anybody except Maks?
#Kate(1) Love Chmercockeryl!!
Didn’t you all watch the staircase video? Maks and Meryl were holding hands! And kissing! And hugging! And rubbing each others legs! They were so couply! This was their coming out! Why the hell are we even still talking about these two when there’s a new season and a new cast? Oh that’s right — because the two of them made sure they put attention on themselves and they used that shipper posing as a reporter, Jessica Radloff, to make sure everyone took notice.
Of course they had to make sure they were the center of attention. It is Maks after all. It was his show according to him, right?
#25 Ria, I’m sorry but she’s as guilty of playing it up as he is.
#22 Ria, Amy and Danica did the same. They were behaving like normal people would LOL.
I noticed that too, that Meryl doesn’t have pics with anyone else besides Maks.
Glamshipper Jessica claims that Maksyl asked her to take pictures of them by the judges table. That seems a little fishy doesn’t it HAHAHA. What kind of journalism is this?
I think Maksyl is trying to do this because other people called them out on their showmance.
Oh I have no doubt she is. I think she likes the attention too. If you watch them skate, she is really into the showmancing aspect too except that with Charlie, the showmancing stops after the skating program. With Maks it is 24/7.
#27 Kate I found that very telling too that they asked her to take their picture. Isn’t it funny how aside from the picture ABC posted of them with Charlie the only pictures that are out of them are the ones she took?
I think they’re doing it for the attention and the publicity. What else do either of them have going on right now? And they have to sell tickets to that skating show which is STILL not sold out.
Well, she has a point, Court – the Chmercocky’s aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, as my dad used to say. 😀 Maybe they are not smart enough to realize that laughing might not be the best idea.
#29. Totally Donna, it is all for publicity. Did you see the one pic in her article where Jessica cropped Charlie out of the pic but left Maks with Meryl? This was the same one that ABC had posted on their twitter yesterday. Journalism at its best LOL. 😀
Donna, I thought Maks is very busy with his 2 movies this year? And he has to be busy going from mall to mall trying to sell his vodka and jewelry?
If the shippers were smart (oh, waitaminute) they would see the photos of Maks with a model from a week or so ago and GET A FREAKIN’ CLUE.
It’s nauseating.
Oh but don’t you know? According to the shippers Meryl totally knows about the model and is okay with it. That is how EPIC their secret romance is. Maks is free to go gallivanting anywhere with his type(a busty model)and Meryl will be sweetly waiting for him at home. They see nothing wrong with that scenario.
#31 Kate I did. I thought that told you perfectly who and what Jessica Radloff is.
#32 Ria I’m still waiting for the two movies from the last time he was off the show LOL.
#33 Heidi Maks only took her to Italy so she could help him plan his Italian honeymoon with Queen Meryl!
Oh, Donna…(not Donna immediately above this comment – Donna whose comment never saw the light of day because she waltzed in here and decided that she needed to tell everyone what to do, how to act, what to think, and how to behave)…
…yeah, we don’t take kindly to strangers dropping in and insulting our readers, and acting as if they’re some sort of authority. Don’t like what we’re talking about? GTFO. Until then, your comments are gonna continue to end up in the trash, boo-boo.
If I ever have to fight off a pack of wolves, I want PHeidi and Courtney on my side!! 🙂
