Welcome to Pure Dancing with the Stars

This was an interesting video to see Nigel Lythgoe talking about Dancing with the Stars. He touches on some interesting issues about SYTYCD stars making the move over to Dancing with the Stars including Lacey Schwimmer and even the possibility of Chelsie Hightower being on the show. Chelsie is beautiful and would be an interesting addition to the show. Nigel also talked about fat dancers and what he thought about people calling Lacey Schwimmer a fat dancer.

Check out the video of Nigel:

I just heard them say that Lacey will be performing with her brother Benji on tomorrow’s Dancing with the Stars results show. That will be really cool. I always love watching Benji perform. Here’s a little video look at Lacey and Benji dancing together a few years back in Reno:

(Lacey joins about half way into the video)

I love watching Benji and his sister dance, but I wish Dancing with the Stars would have invited Benji and his cousin Heidi (also of So You Think You Can Dance fame) to perform on the show instead of Lacey. Benji and Heidi were just meant to dance together. If you don’t believe me, then check out Benji and Heidi’s Black Mambo performance on So You Think You Can Dance or even Benji and Heidi’s US Open Swing Dance Championship dance. Now that’s what I call dancing.

Tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars had Brooke & Derek dancing a Samba to the song Hip Hip Chin Chin by Club des Belugas. I found it really interesting that Brooke and Derek did a samba to the same song that Lacey Schwimmer and Danny did a samba to on So You Think You Can Dance (choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin - Could you imagine him on DWTS?). Take a look at Lacey and Danny’s samba and tell me if you like it better or worse than Derek and Brooke’s samba.

I’m a little bit torn on which I like better. I think I’ll personally give the edge to Brooke and Derek, because they are the much prettier couple in my book.

The following video by E! News Weekend is a good report on both Misty May’s Injury and Helio Castroneves’s tax evasion legal problems.

We know now that Misty May tore her Achilles. OUCH!!

I don’t know what to think about Helio, but we’ll just let it play out in the courts before we decide any sort of verdict.

In this video, the Jonas Brothers talk about their performance on Dancing with the Stars and about Dancing with the Stars fans being a younger demographic.

Jessica Simpson sang Come On Over (Original Music Video) on Dancing with the Stars while Anya Garnis & Pasha Kovalev (from So You Think You Can Dance fame) danced.

Jessica Simpson sang Angels on Dancing with the Stars while Cheryl Burke & Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced.

Check out Jessica Simpson on Dancing with the Stars. She’s gone country…ok enough of that. The Judges Choice was by far the most memorable dance from last night. I think the black pleather and Kym’s ability to lean back like the Matrix makes the Matrix dance the best.

Tonight was an awesome night on Dancing with the Stars. I think it was the fact that it was Rhumba and Paso Doble night on Dancing with the Stars. Very sexy and very beautiful. I’ve already posted the Dancing with the Stars music for your reference.

Which dancers or routines are your favorite?

This video is a little old of Derek and Brooke, but it’s the first that I’d seen of it. Derek and Brooke give a little teaser of their performance. You can see even in this video why Brooke has been getting such high scores. However, the coolest part of this video is that Derek and Brooke show you what the Dancing with the Stars set looks like before they put in all the seating, etc.

Don’t be so naive!! Derek Hough and Karina Smirnoff are not dating. Derek Hough is still dating Shannon Elizabeth and last I heard are quite happy together. Of course, that doesn’t stop the insane paparazzi from asking Derek and Karina if they’re dating now. Check out this video of Derek and Karina getting bombarded with questions by the paparazzi outside a club.

When Derek throws Karina at the end, that’s awesome. Great publicity stunt by ABC, Karina and Derek. Even in the few seconds of dancing they do in this video, you can see why Derek and Karina are professional dancers.
