The guys at PopTV have a love affair with Dancing with the Stars, luckily for us. 🙂 And they’re not obnoxious. I have not had time to actually watch this video yet but it apparently contains footage from Chelsie/Louie, Edyta/Ashley and Louis/Kelly O.
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. :-)
Entertainment Tonight posted a bunch of Rehearsal Pictures – click the link because I haven’t posted all of them here!
Goodness! Derek and Joanna? HOT. Kathy Ireland? Gorgeous. Kelly O? Love her. Louie? Cute, cute, cute. 🙂

Derek’s tweets were picked up by USA Today, as were some by Donnie Wahlberg. Here’s what they say about Derek:
Time for a Twitter break. From Dancing With The Stars pro Derek Hough just 29 minutes ago: “Smoky smoky smoky … I can’t believe these fires, my eyes are itchy from the ash ..”
These fires are truly scary.
There was lots of twitter activity today – almost like the kids got together and decided to have a contest. 😉
Here are Derek’s most recent:
Here’s the picture to go with it – don’t have to worry about him wasting away this season like he did last. 🙂
Just before that….
The before picture –
The after picture (so much for the Derek/Shannon break up – both pics are from Shannon’s house)-
Everyone being threatened by these horrible fires – you’re in our prayers.
On a lighter note – Kelly Osborne tweeted a picture of herself. She’s looking FANTASTIC!! Great job, Kelly!
Mark Ballas thought he would post a flattering picture of his partner. 🙂 Really, she’s much cuter than this. 🙂
He thinks it’s hilarious. He then proceeds to flirt with his girlfriend. Mark, take a note…. 🙂
I swear to god, if it weren’t for Mark Ballas having a twitter addiction, I would think that abc told them all to tweet on tuesdays. Because, Lacey and Chelsie AND Chuck Liddell all weigh in – keep in mind that all this tweeting is taking place in about a three hour time period.
Chuck tweets a nice picture:
Lacey’s picture makes me even more convinced she has a contender – for some reason. Maybe because he’s hot. 🙂
Chelsie’s picture is, I think, not from today. I’ve completely lost track. Whoever was telling me not to underestimate Louie because he’s cute – you were RIGHT. He’s a little (very little) cutie. 🙂
If you want to follow the celebs and the pros on Twitter, you can visit our Twitter Post and click the links to the various pros and celebs for whom we have found Twitter pages. They’re often quite entertaining. 😉 Derek is winning so far, with that twit pic of himself – Louie and Mark D – start takin’ stuff off. 😉

Hello all! I did a quick round-up of what the stars and pros are tweeting. There are a lot of cool pictures and gives us some insight on how great the first shows are going to be. (Just a note that the only editing to the posts is censoring any obscenities)
Tom Bergeron
Reading tweets from some of our season 9 cast. They’re all hard at work. I don’t start for two weeks. Makes me almost feel guilty. Almost.
*Looks like us fans aren’t the only ones interested in what this season’s cast is tweeting.
Joanna Krupa
couldnt sleep cause i am sore from head to toe…long day of rehearsals yesterday. taking my aleve now
had a great salsa lesson by my kick a** partner! he rocks…now need to tan!
*Should I tell her that Advil works better? I love that the stars are already tanning.
Aaron Carter
I THINK WE HAVE CHA-CHA’d OUR WAY INTO INSANITY!
*I completely agree Aaron. I cannot wait to see how this is going to be worked into their dance.
Tom Delay
I am back from LA. The photo shoot was so much fun. It was like going to Disneyland. You know politics is showbiz too.
In LA for rehearsals and title shoots. Also learning two dances. Cheryl says I am progressing very well.
After two dance sessions I can tell you Cheryl Burke is the most patient person I have ever met.
*I wonder how they are going to pan out…maybe she’s over getting stuck with “the old guy” (See Heidi’s post DWTS Season 9 News).
Melissa Joan Hart
Learned the basic foxtrot and jive today!! Good stuff. Feet are hurting and back is sore. Yay!!
Wow! The chacha will make your abs rockin!!! No more crunches, just need to chachacha!
Team Melarky
*Don’t they look so cute together? She has learned 3 dances already…are these for the first shows or is this just preparation? And I think it’s time to start learning the cha-cha myself…I hate crunches!
Chuck Liddell
Went to my first costume fitting today. This is going to be interesting…
*It IS going to be interesting and I can’t wait to see what they get him to wear,
Debi Mazar
This is ME now..I’m afraid that I will have this face during my routine.Today was rough..near tears.I sucked!
*I love this pic but I hate that she had such a rough day. Hopefully, it’ll get better for her.
Just got my 1st spray tan for DWTS,funny!St.Tropez brand,doesn’t smell! look like I just got off a boat off of Italian Coast.for promo shoot

Pros
Chelsie Hightower
Taking a break.. Got our music today, “it’s my life” by No Doubt?? How am I gonna pull off a foxtrot to that?!
*Umm, yeah…that song doesn’t really say “foxtrot” to me.
Derek Hough
Joanna is doing better .. lookin good .. Worked on a little ballroom frame aswell .
I always hurt my neck every season , I guess it’s better now then later … Frustrating pain ..
Here’s a little peak of what we did today

Louis Van Amstel
Our first solo dance is a ballroom dance.The dance originating in the capital of Austria.Our relay dance is the dance w 3 of d same words

Oh,yeah..i forgot to tell all of you @MissKellyO kicked me in the nuts yesterday.She decided to just pull up her other knee!!!Kinda hurt….
*Poor Louis! I’m excited about this surprise…
MaksI think I got one of the hardest working people as my partner. I’m really enjoying our rehearsals. I think Debi will do great!
*Seems like they are going to be a good pairing…even if she was having a rough day it’s good to know she’s still working hard.
Mark Ballas
Cha cha time!!!!!!!!!!! Wahoo!
Melissa doing GREAT today, moving what I like to call SMOOTH!!!
*I’m glad that she’s doing well and Mark is one of my favorites so I hope the Team Melarky does well!
Just a quick note that almost all of the celebs have Twitter accounts (not all verified) but not all of them mentioned DWTS or if they did…it just didn’t seem interesting to me. This is a previous article that has links to all of the DWTS season 9 Twitter accounts if you want to see more.
I’m going to have words with my boy Derek – surely he must be wrong. Here’s what Marc Malkin has to say about an interview he had with the “always-fun-to-talk-to” Derek:
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. :-)
Someone asked, in the comments, why people might vote against Donny – the news for the week is one example. Almost all Donny – little bit of Joanna, Derek, Mark and Melissa and a nice piece on Debi Mazar, but three of the five videos are on Donny (and Marie). Overkill and we’re still three weeks out. :::sigh::: Keep in mind that I only put up what my Tivo picks up – it’s possible I may have missed some things.

That title doesn’t sound right to me. Hmmm. Anyway, Daemon’s TV has all the individual shots of the celebs and the pros – I uploaded some of the pairs previously, but these are new. And I have to tell you, I find some of them very amusing. For a variety of reasons. 😉 Here are a few that I found interesting/amusing/strange – I’ll let you guess why I posted each one. 🙂 Well, I’ll tell you right now, I posted Kelly and Edyta because I thought both of them were beautiful.

According to Kym Johnson on ET, it’s the Country Two-step – which, of course, in my mind makes it WORSE. 🙂
“The show is adding the country two-step and the Charleston,” Kym tells Donny & Marie. She goes on to explain that there will be the same number of dances. The show is just mixing things up a bit.
Then Kym watches the on-stage dance competition between the brother and sister team, and rates them both a 10.
“You’re a 10 because you’re fabulous,” Kym tells Marie. Then she jokes with Donny, “And you’re a 10 because you need 10 more hours of dance lessons.”
Not a good sign if Donny and Marie are already bugging me, right? 🙂

Yay, they’re finally here!! I’ll post a few – the rest are at Entertainment Tonight’s site. Go there and look and if you want larger versions.

Lots of news and interviews out there on the web today. E! News has a slightly different paparazzi video from what I’ve seen, in addition to a Marc Malkin article. A couple excerpts:
Professional snowboarder Louie Vito hopes his stint on the new season of Dancing With the Stars improves his luck with the ladies.
“If worse comes to worse, maybe if I go to a wedding or a club, I can bust out some of the moves,” he tells us. “I’ve gotta get those smooth moves that maybe aren’t that typical. I might have to bust out the salsa in the middle of a club.”
Just a few days before learning who she’d be paired with, Burke predicted she’d be matched with someone like the 62-year-old former congressman. “I’m due for the old guy,” she said. “It’s all right though. If I keep getting the good person then people will start being upset I think.”
Oh Cheryl, I love you (and how you dance with Derek :-)), but that struck me as a bit rude. The Old guy? Girl, I hate Tom DeLay – and for a moment I felt a twinge of sympathy. ::::shiver:::: Okay, I’m over it.
Mya’s very afraid of getting hurt – a very valid fear, but one that often leads to injury. According to MTV.com:
“So far, rehearsals have been really tough,” she told MTV News. “So it’s kind of like reversing my thinking, ’cause hip-hop is so loose and not structured, and tap is so loose and close to the ground and not structured, so it’s so different. I have a lot of work to do in reversing how I think. And I have a lot of partner work to do, so I hope it doesn’t hurt me. But I think music and musicality is going to help me stay on the beat.”
Mya admitted that, aside from learning the dances, she’s also scared she might hurt herself in the process. “I had to change my shoes yesterday, ’cause my heels were starting to hurt — and keep in mind that everything was in heels,” she said. “I had a foot fracture last year, and I’ve had injuries in the past. That’s what my worst fear is. To get injured … is something I’m nervous about.”
She might be nervous, but she’s also excited to get to know the other celebrities dancing this season — one of whom she was surprised to learn would be on the show. “I didn’t think it was in her personality to do something like this, but it’s great that she is,” she said of rock progeny Kelly Osbourne. “And I actually met her last night, and she’s very cute and funny, so she’s very sweet. I was just surprised, ’cause she’s more of a rebel to me.”
Hey – I think I like these odds. But since I don’t know anything about gambling, I can’t be sure. 🙂
All the excitement is set to begin on September 21, 2009. Will the stars have enough fancy footwork to keep up with the professionals, or will they trip over their own feet and leave sooner than expected?
