August 21, 2014 Kellie Freeze

After months of speculating whether long-time host Len Goodman would retire and if a former dancer would join the judges panel, ABC just announced answers to both questions. It was revealed last week that Goodman will return as a judge. but this morning, former dancer Julianne Hough was announced as the show’s permanent fourth judge. Last week dancer Cheryl Burke confirmed that Len Goodman, who also serves as a judge on the British version of the show, Strictly Come Dancing, would miss a few episodes as the weekly commute between London and L.A. was getting to be too much for […]

Dancing With The Stars Recap: Celebrity Dance Duels

May 5, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Mark Ballas kicked off tonight’s episode of Dancing With The Stars with his debut single, “Get My Name.” The song has a catchy Bruno Mars-big band vibe. It was extremely danceable and in addition to singing, Mark danced too! I’m not sure it’ll get radio play, but it was a perfect dance to kick off DWTS. When she was asked, what she’s looking for tonight, Abby Lee Miller said, “Straight legs, pointed feet, perfect musicality, inspiration, emotional changes. Pretty much everything.” Right off the bat, Charlie and Sharna were announced as safe and performing first. Charlie White & Sharna Burgess […]

Abby Lee Miller on Dancing With The Stars Tonight

May 5, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Tonight on Dancing With The Stars, Dance Mom’s Abby Lee Miller thunders into the ballroom as this week’s guest judge. The blogosphere has been buzzing since Abby Lee’s involvement was announced. Who will she make cry? Abby is heavily promoting her new show Abby’s Studio Rescue (which judging on concept alone is terrible) so she may play nice. As a public figure, she is so nasty that while she may be capable of smiling and being friendly, she is a woman who isn’t above making children cry for seemingly no other reason than for her own enjoyment. I wouldn’t put […]

Dancing With The Stars Recap: Latin Week

April 28, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Tonight on Dancing With The Stars, it’s time to get steamy in the ballroom! For many DWTS fans, Latin night is the highlight of the season. Usually, Latin night occurs at a point when the low-hanging fruit has been eliminated, and the remaining contestants are all contenders. And, best of all, the costumes are tiny, and the men are usually open-shirted! Filling the guest judge seat is Grammy-winner Ricky Martin. I adore, adore his cleft chin and his shaking hips. Ricky will also perform his new song Vida, which is the theme song of the 2014 World Cup. The song […]

Dancing With The Stars Preview: Latin Night

April 28, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Tonight on Dancing With the Stars it’s Latin night in the ballroom and the stakes are higher than ever. At the end of the night, one couple will be going home. Who do you think it will be? Perhaps the most important question of the night is will Danica McKellar be able to dance after breaking a rib during this week’s rehearsals? I’m surprised that it was Danica who got hurt. Val seems like the more gentle of the Chmerkovskiy brothers, I would have put a bet on Maksim breaking one of Meryl’s tiny bird bones doing some crazy death […]
