Several of the entertainment shows had DWTS stories that I’ve not previously posted – I’m sure I’ll have more tomorrow too. It never ends.
Latest on Derek for those not following on Twitter – Joanna says that Derek wants to dance on Monday, but it’s still very much up in the air, because he’s still sick. I personally think he should take the day off and rest, but he is 24 and male, so what are the odds he’ll listen to me?
E! News from Wednesday, October 14, 2009. There is a second E! News Video at Pure Derek Hough.
Entertainment Tonight pimping Donny Osmond (again), and he talks about his broken toe. Also Mya and Dmitry.
Extra from October 15, 2009 – Randall Christensen, Chuck Liddell, Joanna Krupa, Derek Hough and Michael Irvin:
Extra from 10-13-09 – Donny Osmond again, plus others.

Hey Everyone! I’m a new blogger for DWTS so I thought I’d let you guys know what to expect from my blogs
I will be blogging about the costumes featured on this season and the choreography/technique of the dances and how well (or not so well) each couple performed them! Now that we have that out of the way let me get started!
I absolutely love the costumes that the celebs and pros wear on DWTS and I first wondered how all the costumes got sewn and fitted in time! I googled Randall Christensen, the head wardrobe designer, and found that he only has 3 1/2 days to get costumes made! This has got to be a crazy time during the first weeks of competition since there are so many couples! I also found this AMAZING youtube video interviewing Mr. Christensen about the process:
To me, what makes are great costume is a combination of:
- Is the material used appropriate for the dance style?
- Is the costume suited for the celeb and pro as a couple?
- Does the style of the costume match the style of the dance?
- Are the sparkle and shine elements right on for the costume or not quite there?
- Are the accessories perfect for the costume or are they to much or to little?
- Overall, does the costume compliment the celebrity to showcase their dance strengths instead of their dance weaknesses.
With that said…here are my top 5 favorite costumes and my top 5 train wrecks!
TOP 5 FAVORITES (Season 4 – Present):
- Chelsie Hightower and Ty Murray: Season 8

- Cheryl Burke and Gilles Marini: Season 8
