DWTS Derek Hough And Maria Menounos Talk About Dating Rumors, Tonight’s Dance, And More
Derek and Maria cleared up dating rumors on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning!! Details below including an explanation on their kiss last week, why he takes his shirt off, and Maria’s injuries…
On Tonight’s Dance:
“We are dancing the foxtrot. It’s Motown week, so we are dancing to Martha Reeves, she’s actually going to be performing while we dance. So, it should be nice, it’s the first time that they’ve done that before,” Derek says. When asked about who their biggest competition is, Derek replied: “Everybody is. Everybody is really good.”On ‘The Kiss’:
Derek tells us: “That was actually Maria’s idea. Here’s how it went down. I was like: ‘Okay, the music’s building up, the music’s going do you really want it?’ Then something has to happen, and I’m like: ‘Well, everybody takes their shirt off, so that’s done and then we can’t just do like a dip or a move, because it’s bigger than that and she’s like: ‘Well, what if I just made out with you?’”Derek On Why He Always Takes Off His Shirt:
“Because there’s a lot of abs going on this season with the Donald Drivers and the William Levys. I got to try to compete a little bit,” he tells us. “It’s tough, it’s tough.”Maria On Her Injuries:
Maria tells us: “I think the worst is over, I broke some ribs, and fractured my foot, and did some crazy stuff. I had a chin, what did you call it?” Derek tells us, “She just faceplants on to a wooden floor, it was amazing, and painful.” He adds, “She is an amazing patient, because she has been doing everything and anything possible, like Cryogenics.” Maria corrects him: “Cryotherapy. Cryogenics is like a surgery thing.”

Why would the judges even try to say that Tristan and Gladys needed to be more intimate. Knowling that it was wrong.Age difference!!!!!!Judges are getting worse by the minute. That was a totally UNCALLED FOR COMMENT to Tristan,how dare those judges say those things to Tristan.I actually met Tristan, sweet and loving person.These judges need to be thrown out.I am so mad at how they favor Derek and Maria. How can these producers let these judges be so unfair. Do you realize how much you belittled that young man Tristan. You should not let judges belittle anyone and especially your Pros. What a slap in the face. Also quit favoring Derek. Do you not realize that was so wrong to say that to Tristan he is a pro. I wish we could judge the judges and see how they feel. What a brat Cariann is I could slap her face. Telling a 20 year old to get more intimate with a 60 year old. I am never this mad about DWTS. But,when you cut your pros up and they work so hard to make that show the best that they can I truly draw the line there. SHAME ON YOU! How do you think Tristan feels at this very moment in front of Millions of people and you wanted him to get closer to his partner.REALLY 60 Something. If you want a love something to go on then find a compatable partner.I literally can not understand where you were going with Gladys and Tristan. YOU ALL, MEANING THE JUDGES NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO TRISTAN ON AIR MONDAY NIGHT ON 4/30/12.WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO TRISTAN!
