Twittering with the Stars – DWTS 9 and Beyond

Written by: Princess Heidi

While waiting on the breakfast to be ready (Champagne Brunch – Yay!!), I took a stroll around twitter and found the celebs and pros have been tweeting fools. Enjoying their time off. I won’t post all their tweets, but some of them and their twit pics were fun. If you want to follow them and see what they have to say, you can find all their twitter accounts on a previous post!

Twitter 1

Aww, Tony, so sweet. And the Ballas men – strange. :-) Lacey and Lance at the Dizzy Feet Gala!! And Natalie Jinxes herself.

Joanna is talking about her new Peta Ad campaign. Jonathan cracks me up, as does Louie Vito. :-)

Natalie – word to the wise, never talk about how good traffic is, because then it WON’T be. :-) Derek being a good uncle, taking the kids to Miley Cyrus with Julianne and his sisters. They apparently hit a local honky tonk after – I assume someone took the children home. :-)

Derek Hough and Nephew

For those who didn’t know, Carrieann had some sort of surgery yesterday – it appears she pulled through nicely. Apparently it was minor and related to her neck/back. I could look it up, but dudes it’s Thanksgiving and I’m stuffing myself. :-)

A DWTS Halloween

Written by: Princess Heidi

Quite a few of our stars and pros dressed up for Halloween – I though I would share the pictures I saw. Kelly Osbourne gets my vote for most creative. Derek Hough for hottest pro. :-) I could be biased. Heh. Let me know if I missed any!!

My favorite is first, then Derek with Shirley Ballas.
Derek - Clark Kent 2
Derek - Clark Kent 4

Mark Ballas
Mark Ballas as Freddie Kruger

Maksim Chermikovskiy Does Vampire really well.
Maks

Julianne Hough, and her sister Marabeth from Thursday night.
Julianne Hough and Marabeth Poole

Kelly Osbourne and her Fiance were “bacon and eggs” in case it isn’t obvious:
Kelly Osbourne

Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskay as Donny and Marie Osmond – pretty convincing 70’s version for having been put together kinda quickly.
Anna Trebunskaya Jonathan Roberts

Chuck Liddell – LOL
Chuck Liddell as Batman

Natalie Coughlin and hubby as Pam and Bill from True Blood:

ETA: Silly me – Maks was Henry the 8th, according to Freddy Kruger. :-)

Miscellaneous Media – DWTS Season 8 AND 9

Written by: Princess Heidi

I threw that Season 8 in there because I found Gilles on E! News in a “European” swimsuit. Ahem. Yep, never voted for Gilles when he was on the show, but he is one hot hunk of man and he seems like a real sweetheart. :-)

Donny and Kym on ET – Donny finds out that MJ’s kids are rooting for him. (Um, so what? They’re just KIDS! Geez. They’re kids I feel sorry for because of all the hype.)

Miscellaneous Media – DWTS 9, Week 5

Written by: Princess Heidi

We have a little bit of everything tonight, and this most likely won’t be the last of it. :-) Had computer “issues” last night, otherwise I would have had it up sooner.

Radar Online Interview with Jermaine Jackson. Cameos by Mark, Derek, Mya, Chelsie

Radar OnLine interview with Natalie Coughlin and Alec Mazo. I had to laugh at her “crappy scores” comment – pretty much on target with her intent there. :-)

Next, Entertainment Tonight with Aaron and Jermaine Jackson and a little bit of Natalie Coughlin.

Extra with Jermaine, Aaron and Karina:

Kelly and Louis on Chelsea Lately – HERE is an example of chemistry. :-) I just love these two.

E! News from Tuesday. Poor Natalie. Lacey, when someone has to say “I’m being for real” – well, it’s a bad sign. And, finally, THIS is a Donny Osmond I can like.

DWTS 9 Week 5 – Results Show Clips

Written by: Princess Heidi

Oh, there was some good stuff in the results show last night, in addition to the MJ Tribute. I really liked the “behind the scenes of a Monday” bit – kinda cool. Sure, it was all set up, but I still enjoyed seeing it.

I’m normally a big Nora Jones fan, and I liked her performances – but I can’t say it’s the best I’ve seen her:

LOVED Jonathan and Anna T’s dance to this song. Gorgeous.

Here’s a video of all the pre-tribute discussion from the pros and the Jackson family that I don’t think I posted before:

Natalie Coughlin Sent Home on DWTS

Written by: Jeanne

John gave me a brilliant idea to do a tribute to the star that has been sent home so here we go with Natalie in Week 5…

Her best dance

Her hottest costume(s)

Not many people can pull off orange but Natalie shined in this crazy, fun Latin outfit!  And you can totally tell that her and Alec are having such a blast with the dance :)

I wasn’t sure about this costume when I first saw it but it really does her justice!  I love that it complemented the song they danced to but I also like that she representing the USA just like she did in swimming.  The only thing that I hated about this outfit was Alec’s ensemble!  The two just don’t go together but Natalie looks GORGEOUS!

I was hoping for a better picture of her ‘ice princess’ costume but this is all I could find :(   I absolutely loved this dress on her.  She looked so elegant and beautiful and, again, you can tell that she and Alec are enjoying their dance together.

I was really sad to see Natalie go and according to some twitter accounts…others were just as sad:

From Johnathon Roberts (@JonatRoberts)
@NatalieCoughlin You were so awesome all thru the show. Great technique, flexibility, performance-you had it all, we think you are great!!!

@NatalieCoughlin u were great & did NOT deserve 2 go. I’m so bummed, Anna & I were so enjoying watching u dance-u r awesome

From Carrie Ann (@carrieanninaba)
Very sad as well about Natalie and Alec. Doesn’t seem right. This year is very interesting….

From Mark Dacascos (@mark_dacascos)
Thank you for keeping us on another week. Really sad to see Natalie leave — one of the most charming, kind, classy women I’ve ever met.

From Dmitry Chaplin (@dmitry_ch)
@NatalieCoughlin u were AMAZING and I am really sad to see you go… Keep on shining, you are great!

From Kelly Osbourne (@MissKellyO)
@NatalieCoughlin I just wanted to let you know how amazing its been getting to know you. You are the coolest girl i’ve met in a long time!

Week 5 Edition: THE GOOD, THE BAD, and THE INCREDIBLY HOT!

Written by: Jeanne

This was such a fun week of Latin dances!!!!  I absolutely adore the paso doble and the Argentine tango because their fierce, sexy, powerful, and aggressive!  Not to mention…HOT COSTUMES!!!!  I loved Natalie’s homage to the USA, Karina and Aaron’s fiery red attire, Kym’s racy black dress, Lacey’s very Karina like ruby dress, and how could you not love Kelly and Louis’ outfits :)   Now for the good, the bad, & the incredibly hot!!!!  Any guesses :)

THE GOOD
Aaron and Karina finally made the comeback we were all waiting for…well at least, I was waiting for!  It was so nice to see him as a ‘men’ rather than a wild ‘boy’ from the past two weeks!  His technique this week was outstanding but the only thing that got was his wrists!  For instances, at the beginning of the dance when he has his hands behind his back, his wrists need to be tighter and fingers together.  But it’s just a little thing :)

THE BAD
All the dancers did a good job this week so it was hard deciding who to put in the bad stop but I’m going to have to go with Anna and Michael again this week. I just can’t get down with these two. I don’t know what it is about them but I will say Anna’s choreography was MUCH better this time around!

THE INCREDIBLY HOT
The only pair that I thought would fit here is Chelsie and Louie because of their chemistry. I think these dance very well together and this weeks scores did not do them justice. I understand what the judges mean when they say Louie walks instead of dances. However, for the Argentine Tango, I think Louie was right on with the slow steps, long strides, and ankle flicks! The dance itself could have been sexier but I think Chelsie is playing hard to get with Louie ;)

Nora Jones on Dancing with the Stars and Natalie Coughlin Takes a Dive

Written by: John

Dancing with the Stars never ceases to amaze me with the variety of talented singers that they bring to the show. Seriously, Nora Jones this week and Taylor Swift next week. Oh yeah, and Shakira was on DWTS last week. Impressive stuff if you ask me.

As usual, I like to list the music used on the DWTS results show.

Norah Jones sang “It’s Gonna Be” with the Norah Jones’ dancers and also sang “Come Away with Me” Norah Jones - Come Away With Me - Come Away With Me with Anna Trebunskaya and Jonathan Roberts dancing.

The Michael Jackson tribute was to the songs “I Want You Back” Michael Jackson - Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection - I Want You Back with Mark Ballas, Karina Smirnoff and Derek Hough dancing, “Man in the Mirror” Michael Jackson - The Essential Michael Jackson - Man In the Mirror with Chelsie Hightower, Tony Dovolani, Dmitry Chaplin, Lacey Schwimmer, Edyta Śliwińska and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dancing, and “Thriller” Michael Jackson - The Essential Michael Jackson - Thriller with all 16 pro dancers but starting off with Cheryl Burke and Louis van Amstel dancing. Amazing performance. You can see the video of the Dancing with the Stars MJ tribute as well.

Well, my dear Natalie Coughlin. I was super excited to see that you were going to be on this season, but you mostly disappointed. Except for a couple weeks of sexy slow dances, it was disappointing for me. However, it’s still sad that she was sent home before some of the other stars that are still there. I’m sure she’ll be fine. She does have how many gold medals? Those are nicer than a mirror ball trophy for sure.
