Judge Carrie Anne Inaba Picks William Levy To Win Dancing With The Stars Season 14 (Video)

Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Anne Inaba was a guest on Good Morning America today. She talks of what it’s been like to judge Dancing With The Stars Season 14 saying it’s been “the best”. The dancing has been “beyond their expectations” and every week has been “so exciting” and has had a “new energy”. Carrie Anne also discussed how different the judges scoring has been this season from one another. She, Len, and Bruno disagreed the most with Maria and Derek’s Bollywood number. Carrie Anne then breaks down the final three saying Donald Driver has the toughest road ahead of him. Katherine has the best technique. In the end and judging by the audience’s reaction, Carrie Anne thinks William Levy will win since fans “love, love, love” him.

I think Carrie Anne is wrong about William winning and Peta and Donald will show her who’s boss, but, we will see? :)

I'm a fashion and music nut....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together. Derek Hough (one of my favorite dancers) said at a recent Get Healthy event that ‘dancing’ is an outward expression of what is going on inside you. He says that in some ways, everyone dances and it's so true. To TPTB, how about this song for next season's theme song? Robin G Ft. Wilunleashed - A Good Time (Original) // Download High Quality

DWTS Season 14, Weeks 5 – The Cheesecake Awards!!

Ta DA!! We’re in catch up mode. :-)

First - WEEK 5

The “Can’t Carry a Tune in a Bucket” Award: Len and Bruno, for their rendition of either “Maria” or “How Do you Solve a Problem Like Maria”…we can’t be sure. :-)

Heidi: So, the first time I saw it, I thought they were doing a little West Side Story…the second time I saw it, I’m honestly not sure. Don’t quit your day job, boys…if I can’t tell what you’re going for, you can’t sing. :-)  If I had to bet, I would call Len Sound of Music and Bruno West Side Story. :-)

Courtney: Screw musicals…I think we’re giving them too much credit there.  I think they both were just making it up as they went along and just hoping that that the audience was even less educated than they were and would just assume that they were singing a legitimate song…and the fact that they were both doing it might somehow lend creedence to their made-up tune.  Whatever it was…it was dumb.

Brooke Burke Flub O’the Night: “We’ve combined your jokes with the judges scores…”

Heidi: Have you heard the one about the judge who walked into the bar?? He tried to give the barmaid a “10″ and….well, I can’t think of a good joke. But does one really need one when Brooke is around? :-) In all fairness, she’s been better this season than previously, but her occasional tongue tripping can be entertaining.

Courtney: My aunt used to have this parrot named Joey that would repeat literally ANY word it heard - but it would do it at random times, and sometimes form sentences that weren’t quite coherent, contextually.  I’m beginning to think that Brooke is the reincarnation of Joey, the way she will occasionally swap out the word she intends to use with one she has just heard or thought about :-) If so, I fully expect her to start making the skud missile sound effect and start calling people SOB’s by season’s end…can’t wait ;-)

The Award for Best Reaction to being Called Safe: Melissa Gilbert – Half-Pint CUSSED!!!! :-)

Heidi: Hehehehe…loved it. Sweet, quiet Melissa gets bleeped on live television. You go girl. You really CAN take the Prairie out of the girl. ;-)

Courtney: And it was a LOOOONG cuss – like a full 5 seconds of the sound being completely bleeped out.  I can only imagine what is was she said…whatever it was, I’m sure I’d be proud ;-) Read more..

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

Pure Dancing With The Stars Season 14, Week 8 Odds And Ends Weekend Special

What do we have here? Well, pull up a chair, grab a drink of your preference , and let’s see. :)

First up and courtesy of Zimbio pictures, Katherine Jenkins and Dancing With The Stars Season 14 competitor, Jack Wagner, attended BritWeek 2012′s “Evening with Piers Morgan” last night in Beverly Hills, California. Katherine looks so pretty as always and isn’t it great to see Jack again? More with him in a bit.

Also, former Dancing With The Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne was also in attendance. I really do like her hair purple like that. I know. I am weird. :mrgreen:

Below is a new picture of Maria Menounos as she hosted a new episode of “Extra” with her left foot in an air cast at the Grove in Los Angeles on Thursday. According to our Miss Heidi, Maria has been wearing the cast since Tuesday night after the show. Picture also courtesy of Zimbio Pictures.

Bruno Tonioli Discusses Judging On Dancing With The Stars And How He’s Not Biased

Bruno Tonioli was a guest on Access Hollywood today. They asked him if William is his favorite since he gets up and goes wild for him after a performance, but, Bruno says he’s not biased. Below is his take on William…

“I don’t have a favorite. I respond to what happens in front of me. And, you know, you can’t deny it. He’s hot. Hot is hot. And he’s good. He’s actually good,” Bruno said on Friday’s Access Hollywood Live.

Known for his fun-spirited, and sometimes saucy comments (and hip rolls while delivering them), Bruno admitted he was unaware of William before the competition, but the Latino hunk has continued to impress on the dance floor, churning out excellent performances with professional partner Cheryl Burke, week after week.

“I had no idea who he was to be honest… It’s not just because he’s good looking. He produces electrifying performances, but you can be good looking and boring as hell. He’s not. He actually performs wonderful dances,” Bruno continued. “Hotness helps, but the hotness alone? You can have the hottest person in the world, the most beautiful person in the world and they don’t have personality, they don’t have depth to it. It’s boring. It’s like watching, you know, a mannequin.”

I’ve loved some of William’s dances too, but, I think there has been some favortism going on with the judging. Then again, we are all biased at times with our favorite dancers. So, can we not expect the judges to be the same? I don’t know…maybe if they weren’t picking on Roshon so much, I wouldn’t feel that way?

More for how Bruno feels at Access Hollywood. Hopefully they will have a video of this interview up shortly.

UPDATE: And here it is thanks to XKorita05 at You Tube (a good one to follow if you are a big William Levy fan)….

PureDWTS Carrie Anne Inaba On The Dance Duel, Her Days As A Fly Girl, and More

Carrie Anne Inaba chatted to Access Hollywood at the 2012 TV Land Awards this past weekend. She recalled her days as a “Fly Girl”. She also dishes about Dancing With The Stars at the 1:40 minute mark about how the judging is about to get even harder with the “Dance Duel” this week. She’s excited though because it will have a huge impact on the show making sure the best dancer sticks around.

Ok, so I’m still not sure about this “dance duel” business! :|

Judge Carrie Anne Inaba Discusses Cat Rescueing And Dancing With The Stars Season 14

Carrie Anne Inaba stopped by the KTLA studios this morning to talk all things Dancing With The Stars. The interviewers rave about the show being “off the charts” this season. Carrie Anne is loving her job, but, it’s not easy.

Carrie Anne talks of how well she and the other judges get along. They talk of how William Levy is good looking, but, he also can dance and has an “extra magical charm”. Carrie Anne compares William to Emmitt Smith for how a “magic” just happens when he steps out to dance.

Carrie Anne also says it’s the best season ever because of the good dancing and the showmanship if you aren’t necessarily a good dancer.

She discusses how she rescues cats and how happy it makes her as well. If you love cats, you will really appreciate this interview in another way. Very cool. You can listen to the complete interview with Carrie Anne here.
