  • Ginger Zee Shares New Pic of Baby Adrian, Prepares to Impress on “Dancing With the Stars”

    Ginger Zee Shares New Pic of Baby Adrian, Prepares to Impress on “Dancing With the Stars”

    Ginger Zee returned from her maternity leave on Monday to her job as Good Morning America’s chief meteorologist. That’s not all the busy mom is up to these days either. She has been shuttling back and forth between New York and L.A., preparing to compete on Dancing With the Stars.

    Earlier this week, Ginger Zee shared a sweet photo of new baby Adrian. It must be hard to be separated from the little bundle of joy while she rehearses.

    Fortunately for Ginger Zee, hubby Ben Aaron is the perfect “Mr. Mom.” He often travels with his wife and tends to the baby while Val Chmerkovskiy tends to Ginger Zee’s ballroom skills.

    “I knew I was going to hit the ground running,” Ginger Zee says in a recent interview with People magazine, about her crazy schedule plus new motherhood. “I think the schedule’s going to be pretty grueling, but not in the way that I can’t handle it.”

    Will you be cheering on Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy when season 22 of Dancing With the Stars premieres on Monday, March 21?

    A mirror ball trophy would make Ginger’s current crazy lifestyle so worth it.

  • Sharna Burgess: Nick Carter Thanked “Dancing With the Stars” Pro, Calls Her “Goddess”

    Sharna Burgess received a heartfelt, sincere thank you from Dancing With the Stars contestant Nick Carter prior to the DWTS finale on Tuesday. He even referred to his dance pro partner as a “goddess.”

    Taking to social media, Nick thanked Sharna Burgess with an Instagram post.

    “In the words of @carrieanninaba last night, I want to take a second and celebrate the goddess that @sharnaburgess is,” he wrote. “She deserves all the credit in the world for getting us this far. No matter what happens tonight Sharna, just know you are # 1. #sharnasquad #TEAMSHARNIC Voting closes in less than an hour so you know what to do #bsbarmy.”

    As Dancing With the Stars fans no doubt know by now, Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess didn’t win that coveted mirror ball trophy on Tuesday night. That honor went to Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough. Bindi was favored to win since early in the competition.

    Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess came in second place, however, with Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold coming in third.

    There’s no question that Nick and Sharna gave it their all on the dance floor this season. Bindi Irwin was a force to reckon with, and one that clearly couldn’t be surpassed.

    Congratulations to Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess on their second place finish. Nick’s genuine thank you to Sharna Burgess was no doubt certainly appreciated.

  • Witney Carson, Carlos PenaVega: Did They Make the “DWTS” Finals Cut? Spoiler

    Witney Carson and Carlos PenaVega danced to Missy Elliott and Pharrell Williams’ “WTF (Were They From) on Dancing With the Stars Monday night for their freestyle dance, earning a perfect 30 out of 30 from the judges. Was it enough to land them that coveted spot in the finale?

    Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson started their evening off with a foxtrot, and the fans–as well as the judges–loved that, too.

    If you saw Dancing With the Stars on Monday evening, you already know that despite the stellar performances Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson gave, they were still eliminated at the end of the show.

    “I didn’t get a mirrorball this time around but I got two of the most genuine human beings. ❤ I couldn’t be happier and more proud to call them family!
    good luck to the finalists still in this thing! You have all my love and support!! @lindsarnold @alekskarlatos @nickcarter @sharnaburgess @derekhough @bindisueirwin,” Witney Carson captioned a photo.

    Bindi Irwin, Alek Skarlatos, and Nick Carter will compete for that mirror ball trophy tonight on Dancing With the Stars tonight.

    Are you disappointed that Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson were eliminated on Monday night’s show? Who do you think will win?

  • Bindi Irwin Wishes Boyfriend Chandler Powell A Happy 19th Birthday

    Bindi Irwin Wishes Boyfriend Chandler Powell A Happy 19th Birthday

    Bindi Irwin took to social media on Saturday to wish her boyfriend, professional wakeboarder Chandler Powell, a happy 19th birthday.

    “Happy birthday to a person who inspires me every day. A soul who makes me smile no matter where I am in the world, despite any amount of distance,” Irwin captioned a romantic picture of her in his arms. “Thank you for the endless hugs, late night conversations about life, holding my hand when a loud noise scares me and laughing along with all my bindi moments. I’m blessed to be a part of your world.”

    A photo posted by Bindi Irwin (@bindisueirwin) on

    Bindi Irwin is temporarily making L.A. her home while she competes on Dancing With the Stars. Powell is attending college in Florida. The two met in 2013, when she was asked to take him on a tour of the Australia Zoo. Home for Bindi Irwin, when not competing on DWTS, is Queensland, Australia. Today in her home country–November 15th–is Steve Irwin day, in honor of Bindi’s dad, the late Crocodile Hunter.

    Long distance relationships aren’t easy, but Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell make the best of theirs–typically relying on Skype or Facetime when they are half a world or half a country apart.

    The two make a gutsy couple–both loving the outdoors and neither being particularly squeamish.

    “Chandler and I love to go have adventures or a picnic in the park. He’s even going to try and teach me how to wakeboard. We’ll see how that goes,” she said in a recent interview with People magazine.

    Chandler Powell is known for nursing poor Bindi Irwin’s severely injured dancing feet back to health.

    “He was the one helping soothe and tape my feet every day,”Bindi says of her DWTS injuries. “At one point, one of my toenails fell off and flew past him. He said, ‘Oh. It’s a good thing I love you.’ It was just so gross but I felt so bad.”

    It’s uncertain whether Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell were able to celebrate his birthday together and in person, or if the celebration was a long distance one.

    Either way, the two conveyed their love to each other.

    Bindi Irwin has won the hearts of Americans during her time on Dancing With the Stars. Chandler Powell best not let Americans down. They’ll be watching closely to make sure he continues to treat the sweet, talented dancer well.

  • Kendall Jenner Thinks ‘DWTS’ Contestant, Alek Skarlatos, Is The Perfect Guy For Her

    Kendall Jenner Thinks ‘DWTS’ Contestant, Alek Skarlatos, Is The Perfect Guy For Her

    After his jaw dropping heroic act last August, Alek Skarlatos, now has surprised as all with his jaw-dropping dancing skills with his debut in Dancing with the Stars premiere last Monday night.

    Alek Skarlatos was a former Oregon Army National Guard who with his his two friends, U.S. Airman Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler, helped stop a suspected terrorist who was armed with AK-47  on a French train in August.

    He received praises and invitations from the likes of President Obama, Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Alek Skarlatos said he never expected to be on Dancing with the Stars.

    “Never in a million years did I think I’d get that offer,” Skarlatos said Saturday during a break in dance practice with his partner, Lindsay Arnold. “It’s all brand new and crazy to me.” Alek Skarlatos had never danced before but he danced professionally last Monday night and wowed the judges.   Judge Carrie Ann Inaba praised Alek Skarlatos’ for his grace and techniques. “I did not expect that at all… showed us one of the best dances of the night,” Inaba said. Judge Julianne Hough joined in praising Alek Skarlatos, “the surprise of the night.” And Judge Bruno Tonioli said that despite his lack of dance experience, Skarlatos was no fish out of water, but was “born to ballroom.” Alek Skarlatos and partner scored 22 points, tying them for third place. Because of his heroic acts and unbelievable dancing skills, Alek Skarlatos earned a lot of admirers including, Kendall Jenner.

    A source told HollywoodLife, “Kendall saw him on the season premiere last night and was like “I want to meet that guy.” She heard what he did on the train headed to Paris and would love to meet this real life hero.”

    Kendall also thinks that Alek is the perfect guy for her.

    “A handsome guy with depth and integrity, that’s how she described him,” added the source. “She thinks he’s adorable.”

  • Bindi Irwin Spotted All Glammed Up in Sparkles and Fringe Ahead of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Premiere

    Bindi Irwin confirmed recently she will compete during the upcoming 21st season of Dancing With the Stars. The daughter of Terri Irwin and the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin–Bindi was recently spotted all glammed up in both sparkles and fringe–something the 17-year-old never wears.

    Bindi Irwin was getting fitted for costumes ahead of the DWTS competition, sporting a glittery little number that was just adorable on her.

    “This is completely different to anything I have ever done in my life. I am used to wrangling crocodiles,” Bindi says. “It’s all about having the courage and strength and, for me, it is something completely different but I hope that I am able to inspire others in their own lives to seize opportunity and to make a difference and just jump, take that leap, even if it terrifies you.”

    “I just hope my dance partner, whoever it is, is very patient and likes animals, because you never know what I’m going to bring to rehearsal,” she added.

    It wasn’t so long ago that Bindi Irwin admitted that competing on Dancing With the Stars scares her more than the crocodiles she works with as she follows in her late dad’s footsteps.

    “I have to tell you though, the judges scare me more than crocodiles,” Bindi said during her appearance on Good Morning America. “They are so knowledgeable. They’re supreme athletes. I’m just this girl from Australia who’s used to crocs so give me a 15-foot crocodile any day.”

    Bindi Irwin definitely won’t have a crocodile as a dance partner on DWTS. So far, dance pros Karina Smirnoff, Val Chmerkovskiy, Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, Artem Chigvintsev, Allison Holker, Witney Carson, Sharna Burgess, and Peta Murgatroyd are confirmed for season 21.

    Steve Irwin would certainly be proud of his daughter. He might be shocked, however, to see her decked out in sparkles and fringe.

    Will you be cheering on Bindi Irwin during season 21 of Dancing With the Stars? The new season premieres on September 14.

  • Bindi Irwin Used To Getting Dirty, Gets Brave in Sparkly Dress for DWTS [Pics]

    Bindi Irwin is not used to being prettied up for what she does. The heir to Steve Irwin’s crocodile hunting empire is more accustomed to getting dirty. Her performances on Dancing with the Stars will certainly take her out of her comfort zone.

    “I just got back from the Steve Irwin Wildlife Preserve,” Bindi Irwin says. “We were there on our annual crocodile research trip. We go there for about a month every year studying crocodiles to see where they go and what they get up to.”

    “I took a shower last night, and the amount of dirt and mud that came off of me was phenomenal, so [DWTS] will be quite different. I’m used to jumping on top of crocodiles and holding them down to put trackers on them. Now, I’m about to be on a dance floor in the middle of a concrete jungle trying my luck and doing the best I possibly can. I’m excited.”

    Bindi Irwin is one of the celebrities announced so far as on board for Dancing with the Stars Season 21. But Bindi says she may be more afraid of this than of wresting crocs.

    “This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile,” Bindi Irwin said. “Crocodiles, they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs. But I’ve kind of worked with them my whole life, whereas I’ve never danced before in my life.”

    Bindi has already reported for duty, getting the costuming department at DWTS a head start on fitting her for the prettified duds she will need to beat her rivals on the dance floor.

    So far, the verified official list of celebs slated to join Bindi Irwin on Season 21 of DWTS includes Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys, social media sensation Hayes Grier, R&B singer Chaka Khan, and American Pharaoh jockey Victor Espinoza. Also recently added are actress Alexa PenaVega and her husband, actor Carlos PenaVega. But also rumored is celebrity chef Paula Deen.

    Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews will be back as hosts, joined by Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Julianne Hough as judges.

    Pro dancers verified so far include Karina Smirnoff, Val Chmerkovskiy, Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, Artem Chigvintsev, Allison Holker, Witney Carson, Sharna Burgess and Peta Murgatroyd.

  • Chaka Khan Set To Rock You Chaka Khan On Dancing With The Stars With Bindi Irwin, Nick Carter

    Chaka Khan! The R&B queen behind “I’m Every Woman,” “Tell Me Something Good” and “I Feel for You” is hitting the dance floor for Dancing with the Stars Season 21.

    “Hi, I’m Chaka Khan and I want you to look out for me this season on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’” Chaka Khan said in a video posted to the DWTS Twitter feed.

    Chaka Khan joins Bindi Irwin, daughter of deceased crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, in vying for the mirrorball trophy. But both of them have stiff competition in the person of Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys.

    Also on board for this season are social media sensation Hayes Grier, and American Pharaoh jockey Victor Espinoza, as well as actress Alexa PenaVega and her husband, actor Carlos PenaVega.

    The name Chaka Khan, is so iconic that even Jon Lovitz could not tarnish it in The Wedding Singer.

    While Chaka Khan may be used to performing in front of a live audience, Bindi Irwin is terrified.

    “This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile,” Bindi Irwin said of her upcoming turn on the dance floor of the popular series. “Crocodiles, they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs. But I’ve kind of worked with them my whole life, whereas I’ve never danced before in my life.”

    Another rumored possibility for the upcoming DWTS season is Paula Deen. Apparently, Deen had been approached about doing DWTS in the past, but had turned them down. Now there are string indications that she will come along, but nothing official has been said yet.

    As for the core lineup on the show, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews will be back as hosts, joined by Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Julianne Hough as judges.

    Pro dancers verified so far include Karina Smirnoff, Val Chmerkovskiy, Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, Artem Chigvintsev, Allison Holker, Witney Carson, Sharna Burgess and Peta Murgatroyd.

  • ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 21: Bindi Irwin Weighs In on Fear

    Dancing With the Stars season 21 airs next month, and the late Steve Irwin’s daughter Bindi Irwin is one of the contestants. In a recent interview with People magazine, Bindi admits to her fear of competing on Dancing With the Stars–and she knows fear.

    “This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile,” Bindi Irwin said. “Crocodiles, they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs. But I’ve kind of worked with them my whole life, whereas I’ve never danced before in my life.”

    It was only days before the announcement about Bindi Irwin joining season 21 of Dancing With the Stars that she was working closely with those modern-day dinosaurs.

    “I just got back from the the Steve Irwin Wildlife Preserve,” she says. “We were there on our annual crocodile research trip. We go there for about a month very year studying crocodiles to see where they go and what they get up to.”

    Who else is joining Bindi Irwin this upcoming season on Dancing With the Stars? Nick Carter is the most recent contestant announced. Triple-Crown winning jockey Victor Espinoza will compete, too.

    Paula Deen will cook up some fun on the Dancing With the Stars–but she’ll probably have to leave out the butter.

    Contestants on DWTS tend to come from all walks of life, but it doesn’t seem any quite compare to that of Bindi Irwin–at least not so far this season.

    The full season 21 cast of Dancing With the Stars will be revealed on Good Morning America on September 2. The new season of DWTS premieres on September 14 oin ABC.

  • Rumer Willis Parties With Khloe Kardashian in Skimpy Patriotic Bikini

    Rumer Willis partied with Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian over the July 4th weekend, wearing a skimpy patriotic bikini to mark the holiday.

    The Dancing With the Stars mirror ball winner also showed off her ankle boot–supporting her injured ankle–that is preventing her from dancing right now on the DWTS live tour.

    “It was one of those . . . injuries that you get as a dancer,” Rumer Willis told> Us Weekly of her fracture. “You kind of just have to work through the pain, but unfortunately it is something that I have to actually rest and take it easy for a little while.”

    No one was feeling any pain at the sight of Rumer Willis in her sexy bikini this weekend. She posed alongside her stylist, Maeve Reilly, at the Encore Beach Club where she was spotted hanging out with Khloe Kardashian.

    “Happy Birthday @encorebeachclub w/ @stylememaeve,” she captioned the photo.

    A photo posted by Rumer Willis (@ruelarue) on

    It’s plain to see that Rumer Willis is in tip top shape–likely in part due to her Dancing With the Stars workouts–by seeing her in her bikini.

    Rumer may one day soon have even more in common with Khloe Kardashian. She is in hopes that she and her sisters can star in their own reality TV show–like Keeping Up With the Kardashians–with mom Demi Moore making occasional cameo appearances.

  • Demi Moore: Is A Reality Show With Bruce Willis, Scout, Tallulah, and Rumer Willis in Her Future?

    Demi Moore may soon find herself in the midst of a family reality show–at least if daughters Scout, Tallulah, and Rumer Willis have their way. Their dad Bruce Willis might be involved as well.

    Contact Music reports that Demi Moore’s daughters want to star in their own reality TV show.

    “The girls don’t want to live off their parents’ success. They want to prove they have what it takes in their own right,” a source tells the publication.

    All three of Demi Moore’s daughters boast huge social media followings. The girls believe this is key in having a successful reality show, as it means people are interested in the most minute details of their lives.

    Demi Moore is reportedly interested in making cameo appearances on the show. Might Bruce Willis do the same?

    The whole family came together recently to cheer on Rumer Willis as she competed on and ultimately won the coveted mirror ball on the most recent season of Dancing With the Stars. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis were often spotted seated near each other in the DWTS audience.

    Rumer says she and her sisters became even closer during her DWTS competition, and that their support meant a lot to her.
    ‘
    “We’ve always been really close. That’s one of the beautiful things. They’re incredibly supportive and so wonderful, and they are willing to come and support me and cheer me on in whatever crazy endeavors I decide to do!” she said.

    Perhaps one of those upcoming endeavors will include starring in a reality TV show together–with mom Demi Moore making occasional appearances.

    Demi Moore would surely up their show’s ratings, as the Ghost star has long had a huge fan base.

    Would you check out a reality show based on Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s three daughters?

  • Whitney Bischoff and ‘Bachelor’ Chris Soules: Modern Day ‘Green Acres?’

    Whitney Bischoff won’t be marrying The Bachelor, Chris Soules. The couple issued a statement late last week, confirming their split, just two months after he presented her with that illustrious rose on The Bachelor finale.

    “Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules have mutually and amicably decided to end their engagement,” they told Us Weekly in a joint statement. “They part with nothing but respect and admiration for one another and will continue to be supportive friends. They wish to thank everyone who has supported them through this journey.”

    Prior to Chris and Whitney’s statement, fans learned of their split from the creator of The Bachelor, Mike Fleiss.

    He shared the news via Twitter.

    Everyone is dying to know what went wrong between Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules. And while those outside the realm of reality TV can speculate about the way they met, the stress they were under in keeping up appearances for the show’s sake, and the bizarre notion of meeting that perfect someone that takes place on shows like The Bachelor, unless someone personally knows either Whitney Bischoff or Chris Soules, fans may never truly know what contributed to them breaking their engagement.

    A couple of things that may have contributed to the demise of their relationship, however, involve that ever-popular cliche–location, location, location.

    Chris Soules was in L.A. for a while, appearing as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. It became quite clear then that he wasn’t a fan of the city. Whitney Bischoff is from Chicago, where she has a career as a fertility nurse. Rumors swirled while Chris was in L.A. that things weren’t going well for the couple, but ultimately she visited him on his farm for a week when he was eliminated from DWTS and sent home.

    Might Whitney Bischoff have discovered at the same time Chris discovered his disdain for city life that farm life simply wasn’t for her? Does this remind you of the theme song from Green Acres?

    “All this,” Chris noted of Hollywood fame and celebrity during an interview several weeks ago, “is not real life. L.A. isn’t real life for me. Arlington is and Chicago–that’s real life and we want to take that step and then we’ll make [wedding] plans.”

    Whitney Bischoff recently thanked her fans, friends, and family members for their love and support. She returned to a warm welcome in Chicago following her split from Chris Soules.

    “Now this little gal knows how to make me smile!” she captioned an Instagram post. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your outpouring love, kindness and support! It means so much to me!”

    What do you think went wrong for these two? Do you suspect location, location, location played a big role in Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules splitting up? Or do you think things just aren’t destined to work out for a couple who pursues romance the way these two did on The Bachelor?

  • Julianne Hough Reveals Her Body Image Issues And How She’s Overcoming It

    Julianne Hough is one woman who appears to be on top of her game. But the sultry dancer has admitted to having moments when she’s less than 100% confident about her looks.

    The two-time Dancing with the Stars champion made the surprising revelation in an interview for Yahoo Style.

    “I still have not mastered feeling 100 percent confident in my body,” the actress shared. “I still have days where I look in the mirror and say, ‘Thanks, Grandma, for giving me my thighs!’”

    But she’s already moving past that negative mindset, thanks to her boyfriend, NHL player Brooks Laich.

    A photo posted by Julianne Hough (@juleshough) on

    According to the Rock of Ages actress, her boyfriend always asks her “Why is that whenever you take a picture and look at you, you want to take another one? Can’t you just be happy with the actual picture where we’re together?”

    The 26-year-old admits that his questions made her realize one simple truth – that she has to learn to love herself. And it’s something that she’s working on.

    “So I’ve now had to coach myself to look at a picture and not say, ‘Do I look good in it?’ but ‘That’s a great picture, overall,’” she adds.

    And if her latest photo shoot is anything to go by, it appears she’s embracing that epiphany.

    It’s also a mindset that she wants to impart in her new lifestyle website.

    Her website, which was launched last March, features articles on subjects like home décor, fashion and even recipes. But her posts also encourage people to do acts of kindness.

    “I want girls to know they have the power within them to be happy and to feel great. That’s what those challenges are,” the DWTS judge explains. “It’s not to show how great you are; it’s more to get that feeling of, ‘Oh, this feels so good—to be happy!’ I just want everybody to be happy.”

  • Val Chmerkovskiy Dishes About Seeing Bruce Willis Cry

    Val Chmerokovskiy appeared on ABC News on Monday night, just hours after he and Rumer Willis performed for the first part of the Dancing With the Stars finals. He dished about seeing Die Hard star and Rumer’s father, Bruce Willis, in tears.

    It was the impressive job Rumer Willis did while performing her foxtrot that made it clear Bruce Willis was touched by his daughter’s talent.

    “I put everything I had out there today,” Rumer Willis told ABC News. “I’m so excited. I’m a little sad that it’s done and next week we don’t get going, dancing something new. But … we have a few more dances to do [Tuesday].”

    Val Chmerkovskiy was astonished that Bruce Willis “was in the audience on Dancing With the Stars this season, but was even more shocked by the fact that Willis was in tears. There’s no footage like that in the world, in the history of television.”

    “Outside of acting, I don’t think there has ever been captured Bruce Willis in tears and genuinely meaning. So, you’re welcome, Dancing With the Stars,” Val added.

    Did you catch Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy in action on DWTS Monday night? Did you see how teary-eyed Bruce Willis was when the camera panned him in the audience?

    Part two of the Dancing With the Stars finals airs tonight–Tuesday, May 19th. Will you be tuning in to see if Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy make Bruce Willis cry–again?

  • Kym Johnson And Dance Partner Robert Herjavec Seen Enjoying PDA-Filled Weekend

    Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec have parlayed their on-screen chemistry off-screen. Photos of the Dancing with the Stars partners kissing during a romantic weekend getaway have recently been making the rounds online.

    The Shark Tank mogul and his dance partner have already been eliminated from the show and it looks like they’re using the short vacation to get over the sting of being booted out…and to further the chemistry that has been obvious from Day 1 of the season.

    The duo, who have always referred to themselves as just doting “friends,” were seen locking lips poolside. They seemed relaxed, smiling and engaging in deep conversation. The two also didn’t seem to mind the cameras as they held hands or kissed in the hotel’s lobby.

    Johnson herself has hinted that she was with someone this weekend, posting a photo of her foot alongside someone else’s, a fireplace and 2 cocktails clearly visible.

    “Kick up your heels…it’s the weekend,” she captioned the photo.

    A photo posted by kymjohnson1 (@kymjohnson1) on

    Fans of DWTS, as well as the other contestants, are unlikely to be surprised with the revelation, as the 51-year-old Herjavec and Johnson were said to have clicked right from the start.

    Songwriter Riker Lynch said that they “all kind of sensed it from the very, very beginning” while dancer Derek Hough said he thinks the attraction “was instant.”

    An insider says that Herjavec and the 38-year-old Johnson were just perfect for each other and that the relationship couldn’t have come at a better time for the businessman.

    Herjavec recently separated from his wife of 15 years, Diane Plese.

    “It’s been a terribly difficult year,” the avid investor said in an interview. “I was hollow and broken.”

    But with Johnson, the source says Herjavec has found someone he has “insane chemistry” with and concludes that the two “are actually a great match.”

  • Erin Andrews Accused Of Ruining War Veteran’s Marriage Proposal With Eye-Rolling

    It was a sweet and touching moment when Dancing with the Stars contestant and war veteran Noah Galloway proposed to his girlfriend Jamie Boyd.

    But people who saw the proposal have also caught Erin Andrews rolling her eyes and looking annoyed and have called her out on it, saying that she has ruined the moment.

    The special moment came after Galloway and his partner Sharna Burgess finished a Viennese waltz and were waiting for their scores in the skybox. DWTS producers had asked Boyd to join the duo and provide moral support for her boyfriend.

    When asked about how he felt about Boyd being there to show her support, Galloway –who lost an arm and a leg in combat – replied that it “was one of the most amazing moments I have ever had.”

    “This song, ‘The Time of My Life’, you give that to me. I have got to do this here,” the former soldier continued before getting down on one knee and asking Boyd “will you marry me?”

    Everyone at the studio was emotional at the proposal but those watching a home didn’t like how Andrews, who was standing between the couple, reacted and tweets immediately started pouring in accusing her of “having the wrong expression” and for being “rude.”

    The TV presenter explained her reaction was because she was emotional and that she was “trying not to bawl.”

    “Uhhhhh it’s called an oh great I’m going to bawl on camera..ugly cry face alert,” the 37-year-old Andrews tweeted.

    The sportscaster doesn’t seem to be all that bothered by the comments she’s been getting and even Galloway has come to her defense.

    While talking to Mario Lopez on Extra, the veteran said that the comments were crazy and that “that is not Erin.”

    “When the cameras were off, we were still in the red room back there and she was emotional, I mean Erin Andrews is amazing,” Galloway concluded.

  • Kym Johnson, Robert Herjavec Spotted Kissing During Weekend Getaway

    Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec of this season’s Dancing With the Stars fame, were spotted kissing during a weekend getaway in Palm Springs. The two could barely keep their hands off one another. There’s no way these two can keep denying they’re a couple.

    DWTS fans swooned back on May 4th, when Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson kissed during a live broadcast of the show. They claimed at the time that it was for the cameras.

    “It was just part of the dance!” Kym Johnson said backstage, while Herjavec added, “We’re professional dancers, we were just in the moment.”

    No one believed them then, and now there’s even further proof that the DWTS pro dancer and the Shark Tank businessman are involved romantically.

    The two met when rehearsals for season 20 of Dancing With the Stars began. It was clear they clicked right away–both on and off the dance floor.

    Kym Johnson shared an Instagram photo during their romantic Palm Springs getaway.

    “Kick up your heels….it’s the weekend!” she captioned the shot.

    A photo posted by kymjohnson1 (@kymjohnson1) on

    Robert Herjavec’s divorce isn’t yet final. Perhaps that’s why he and Kym Johnson have been trying to keep word of their relationship quiet. Getting spotted kissing in public doesn’t help them keep things mum, however.

    How much longer do you suppose it might be before Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec go public with their romance?

  • Nastia Liukin, Sasha Farber Quickstep Their Way to A Perfect ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Score

    Nastia Liukin and her temporary pro dance partner Sasha Farber danced the quickstep Monday night on Dancing With the Stars–all the way to a perfect score. The pair earned 40 out of a possible 40 points from the judges.

    Four couples remain in season 20’s competition. In addition to Nastia Liukin and Sasha Farber (Do you think Derek Hough will be back?) are Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy, Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess, and Riker Lynch and Allison Holker.

    Carrie Ann Inaba called Nastia Liukin’s quickstep a ‘showstopper.’

    “I feel like you are now a dancer, you are not just a gymnast…that was amazing,” Julianne Hough told her.

    Bruno Tonioli said he saw in Nastia Liukin “a glowing, glamourous blond bombshell…I’m telling you, it was a technical tour de force and you were really a star out there.”

    And Len Goodman said the secret to a quickstep is to move fast but not to hurry. He then added, “That’s what you did…it had speed but it had control.”

    It was definitely an exciting night for Nastia Liukin, but she wasn’t the only dancer with a perfect score. Riker Lynch now has that claim to fame as well.

    Which of these four Dancing With the Stars couples do you think will walk away with that coveted mirror ball trophy?

    One couple will be eliminated Tuesday night, with the remaining three going on to the Dancing With the Stars finals on May 18th.

    Will Nastia Liukin escape elimination and make it one step closer to the win?

    Erin Andrews Explains Eye Roll During Noah Galloway’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Marriage Proposal

    Erin Andrews says she didn’t roll her eyes when Noah Galloway proposed to girlfriend Jamie Boyd on Dancing With the Stars on Monday. She fully understands why people might have believed she did, however. In fact, Andrews says her cry face looks a lot like an eye roll.

    After Us Weekly tweeted about Erin Andrews and her supposed eye roll on DWTS last night, she figured she’d better explain.

    In addition to her explanation, she tweeted a photo of the happy, newly engaged couple as the proposal went down.

    So do you buy what Erin Andrews says about her cry face looking like an eye roll? Or do you think she got caught being rude and is trying to cover for her actions with an excuse?

    She’s definitely had a lot on her mind since her boyfriend Jarret Stoll’s arrest on drug charges last month, but that’s certainly no excuse for rudeness.

    Hopefully Erin Andrews simply looks like she’s rolling her eyes when she’s trying not to cry.

    This eye roll business could follow the Dancing With the Stars co-host all the way to her job as a Fox Sports reporter. Will fans be watching for the Erin Andrews eye roll at future sporting events?

  • Witney Carson Shares Love for Chris Soules Following ‘DWTS’ Elimination

    Witney Carson shared her love for her Dancing With the Stars partner Chris Soules following his elimination from the competition this week.

    Chris Soules and Witney Carson were guests on Good Morning America the morning after the elimination. They and fellow dancers Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec all bid the show adieu on Tuesday night.

    While chatting on GMA, Witney Carson shared how she expressed her love and appreciation for her dance partner the night before, via Instagram.

    “To my farmer Joe/Christopher Walkens/Kevin Bacon ???? thank you for your dedication, hard work, and your genuine heart. Watching you grow and succeed every week was better than any mirror ball trophy. Thank you for trusting me, being brave, & most of all the laughs! You are one of a kind, a true friend… Love you always x,” she captioned the following post.

    Soules shared his thanks via Twitter.

    Were you shocked at Witney Carson and Chris Soules’s elimination from Dancing With the Stars? Did you expect to see The Bachelor make it all the way to the mirror ball trophy?

    Chris Soules is engaged to another Witney–his has an ‘h’ in her name. Whitney Bischoff was away during Chris and Witney Carson’s final performance on Dancing With the Stars, amidst rumors of a split between the two. Soules told the media that the rumors are false, and that she was away with family on the anniversary of her mom’s death.

    Given Witney Carson and Chris Soules’s–as well as Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec’s eliminations, who do you think will win this season of Dancing With the Stars? Only four couples remain: Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough, Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy, Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess, and Riker Lynch and Allison Holker.

  • Whitney Bischoff: Are She and Chris Soules Done?

    Whitney Bischoff has been noticeably absent from Dancing With the Stars for the past couple of weeks, causing many to speculate that she and Chris Soules have called it quits. If things are okay between the two, then why hasn’t she been there to support Chris’s DWTS endeavors?

    Fox News reports that things are supposedly fine between the two–even though Chris Soules’s mom–and not his fiancee–led his cheering section during this week’s taping of Dancing With the Stars.

    The sexy farmer informed Fox of the real reason Whitney Bischoff has been away.

    “She’s actually with family today. It’s actually the anniversary of her mom’s death,” he said.

    Fans of The Bachelor might remember when Whitney Bischoff told Chris Soules that her mom had died ten years ago after suffering a blood clot during a routine medical procedure.

    “It was tough. I thought about her all week [because] she was going to be feeling those emotions again,” Chris Soules said.

    Following his performance this week, Soules talked more about Whitney Bischoff and their relationship.

    “She’s able to kind of live. I’m kind of focused on trying to get the mirror ball,” he said. “I have her in the evenings, we talk about the day and she’s my number one fan. I know she’s there for me and when all this is over, it will be nice to just be together.”

    He also added that he hasn’t paid much attention to social media rumors saying the two have split up.

    “We’ve never been big social media people,” Soules said. “A lot of people are like, why aren’t they posting pictures? It’s not really who we are as a couple. We’re together and we’re in love and we’re handling this like two adults. She’s got a life, too. She’s got a job and she’s got a career and she’s doing that. She’s gotta do what makes her happy and I’m focused on [DWTS] and having a great time and she’s happy for me.”

    “We’re making the best of a really cool situation that we’re both a part of that’s not going to last much longer. I think that people pay way too much attention to other people’s lives. We’re just normal people and living a kind of abnormal life for a couple more weeks,” he added.

    Do you believe Chris Soules? Or is he trying to save face while still appearing on Dancing With the Stars? Do you think Whitney Bischoff was away solely to be with family on the anniversary of her mom’s death–or is there a bit more to their story?
