  • Maksim Chmerkovskiy Pops the Question, Peta Murgatroyd Says Yes

    Maksim Chmerkovskiy, formerly of Dancing With the Stars fame, popped the question to Peta Murgatroyd on Saturday, and she said yes. Murgatroyd has also served as a dance pro on DWTS.

    “She said ‘yes’ ?” Maksim Chmerkovskiy captioned an Instagram shot, taken in Miami, of the proposal.

    Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s brother Val was Rumer Willis’s partner on DWTS. He shared his congrats to his brother and fiancee via social media, too.

    “I love the two of you with all my heart. you have my brothers loyalty, heart. his one and only for the rest of his life. you’re family now and that makes you my sister, the second most important woman in my life. what’s mine is yours. Forever and always. Petachka your team got numbers now ??? #trapqueenfolife #famovereverything @petamurgatroyd @maksimc,” he wrote on the photo Maksim Chmerkovskiy posted to announce the engagement.

    Maksim Chmerkovskiy told Us Weekly he has known he wanted to marry Peta Murgatroyd for a very long time.

    “I kind of knew a couple of years ago,” he said immediately following his proposal. “But it’s a process. With this family, the hardest part of the process was to keep it a secret…this was definitely the best decision I ever made.”

    Now that one of the Chmerkovskiy brothers is off the market, how much longer might it be before Val finds himself a wife, too?

    Congratulations are likely making the rounds to Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd from family members, friends, and fans from all over the globe.

  • Jamie Foxx Ecstatic Daughter is Named Miss Golden Globe

    Jamie Foxx is experiencing one of those proud moments that only a Hollywood dad can understand. His daughter, Corinne, was named Miss Golden Globe on Tuesday. She joins a list of sons and daughters of Hollywood’s elite who have enjoyed the honor in past years.

    Traditionally the daughter of a Hollywood star, Michael J. Fox’s son Sam was named Mr. Golden Globe one year, breaking with that tradition. Rumer Willis, Laura Dern, and Francesca Eastwood are some of the previous Miss Golden Globes. The duty of Miss Golden Globe is to hand out the statuettes during the awards show.

    Jamie Foxx will surely be in the audience on January 10th when the Golden Globes are presented. His attention will likely be less focused on the nominees and winners, and more on his daughter instead.

    “Man, I’m over the moon, man!” he told Entertainment Tonight shortly after learning the exciting news. “People don’t understand, my daughter’s always been cool… ain’t never ask me for nothing.”

    “I feel proud about [the honor], and whatever she does I always support but I’m, absolutely just blown away,” Foxx added, quickly choking up. “I cry easy but this, uh, this is a moment, man.”

    Jamie Foxx says he will do anything at all to make the evening of the Golden Globes perfect for Corinne.

    “[I’ll do] anything I got to do, man. I’ll be the valet, be the chauffeur, whatever I got to do,” he said. “That’s my baby girl, man!”

    In 2005, Jamie Foxx won a Golden Globe for his performance in Ray.

    Will you tune in to the Golden Globes on January 10th at 8 p.m. ET on NBC?

    You’ll no doubt catch a glimpse of a very proud Jamie Foxx in the audience when you do.

  • Demi Moore Called “Goddess” by Daughter Rumer Willis Following Red Carpet Appearance

    Demi Moore made a rare red carpet appearance on Monday, and shortly thereafter received quite the compliment from daughter Rumer Willis.

    It was at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards that Demi Moore stunned in a black Zac Posen tea length dress with spaghetti straps. She paired the dress with simple silver jewelry and black Christian Louboutin pumps.

    “Yep that’s my mom….she is a goddess #wce #flawless #notscaredifiagelikethis Mama you are my inspiration my icon and my role model and I love you. #nofilter,” Rumer Willis captioned the photo of Demi Moore at the event.

    A photo posted by Rumer Willis (@ruelarue) on

    Moore looked flawless, wearing minimal makeup. Not many women her age–Demi Moore is 52–look that youthful without lots of cosmetic enhancement. She looks a lot like she did 25 years ago.

    Some younger ladies graced the red carpet on Monday night, too. Karlie Kloss was there, as was New Zealand singing sensation Lorde. The younger set had nothing on Demi Moore, however.

    It no doubt makes Rumer Willis proud–and certainly Scout and Tallulah, too–that their mom is naturally beautiful and doesn’t need much help to get red carpet ready.

  • Rumer Willis Had an “Awful” Gossip Girl Audition

    Rumer Willis could’ve starred in Gossip Girl, in an alternate universe.

    She certainly auditioned, but apparently it didn’t go so well.

    In a recent interview with Buzzfeed, the show’s casting director David Rapaport talked about how things could’ve been a lot different.

    “I feel like you go back and think, There is nobody else that could have played these characters. I think the network initially pitched us Ashley Olsen and Rumer Willis for Blair and Serena.”

    “I love Rumer, she’s grown into quite an amazing actress and person, but that, to me, was based on protecting the investment of a television show where creatively, these lesser-known girls really captured the essence of the show and carried it for six years,” he continued.

    “You know, it was actually totally news to me,” Willis told People. “I felt like I did an awful audition back then. I was so young and it was, like, one of the first things I’d ever auditioned for … My sisters and I were huge fans of the books – huge, huge fans so I remember we were just so excited when they said they were doing a TV show.”

    In the end, Willis says Blake Lively and Leighton Meester did “an incredible job.”

    In other Rumer Willis news, she was recently spotted at a Knicks game with Bachelor star Chris Soules.

    And the two snapped some selfies, so it’s clear they have a good time together.

    This is our douchey face #teamtroubleforever

    So, are they dating? ET’s sources say they’re just friends.

  • Bruce Willis Replaced by Steve Carell in New Woody Allen Movie–Was He Fired?

    Bruce Willis was recently replaced by Steve Carell in a current Woody Allen film already in production. There is some confusion about the reason Willis was replaced, with reports running the gamut from his being fired to production interfering with his upcoming Broadway role in Misery.

    The Boston Herald reports that Bruce Willis was set to star alongside Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll, Ken Stott, Anna Camp, Stephen Kunken, Sari Lennick, and Paul Schneider. Woody Allen serves as both writer and director.

    Now with Steve Carell in Willis’s role, prospective fans are no closer to knowing anything about the film. The plot is completely under wraps and no title has been announced.

    Bruce Willis will appear alongside New York theater favorite Elizabeth Marvel in the screenplay of Stephen King’s novel Misery starting this fall on Broadway. He will play the role of romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued following a car crash from a woman named Annie, who describes herself as his “Number One Fan.” When Annie reads Paul’s most recent manuscript and discovers he has killed off her favorite character, she begins torturing the author–forcing him to write a new novel.

    Kathy Bates played the role of Annie in the film adaptation.

    This is Bruce Willis’s first run on Broadway. He was beaten to Broadway by daughter Rumer Willis, however, who is starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago, beginning on September 14. Bruce Willis is set to star in Misery beginning in October.

    Do you expect Steve Carell replaced Bruce Willis in this upcoming Woody Allen film because he was fired or because of his obligations on Broadway instead?

  • Rumer Willis Turns 27, Receives Birthday Wish from Bruce Willis’s Daughter Mabel

    Rumer Willis turned 27 this past weekend, and it was likely the birthday wish that came from her three-year-old half sister that make her smile the most.

    Mabel is Bruce Willis’s daughter with wife Emma Heming. Willis and Demi Moore are the parents of Rumer Willis, along with sisters Scout and Tallulah Willis.

    Rumer shared a short video clip on her Instagram account that features little Mabel and her enthusiastic birthday message.

    “Best Birthday Message Ever courtesy of my beautiful sister Mabel,” Rumer Willis captioned the post.

    A video posted by Rumer Willis (@ruelarue) on

    Mabel Willis is positively adorable. It’s easy to see why her message was Rumer Willis’s favorite.

    Rumer shared at least part of her birthday with sisters Tallulah and Scout Willis, too, and posted a photo of the three girls on Instagram.

    “The perfect way to start my birthday….a moment of pure unfiltered joy with my beautiful sisters. I’m so thankful for them. There are the only a few people in the world that make me smile this big,” she captioned the shot–taken on a bed.

    A photo posted by Rumer Willis (@ruelarue) on

    It certainly appears like the Dancing With the Stars winner had a wonderful birthday. Next it’s off to Broadway for Rumer Willis, where she’ll star as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago.

    Fans can check out Rumer Willis in her Broadway debut from September 14 through November 1.

  • Demi Moore: Body of 21-Year-Old Found in Her Pool

    Demi Moore is making news again, as the body of a 21-year-old man was reportedly found in her pool early on Sunday morning. Law enforcement sources say a man drowned in the actress’s pool. His body was found at the bottom of the pool earlier on Sunday.

    Demi Moore reportedly wasn’t at home at the time of the drowning. Neighbors report, however, that her daughters have been there and have been throwing “parties every day, day and night”

    Us Weekly, however, reports that none of Demi Moore’s three daughters–Scout, Tallulah, and Rumer Willis–were home at the time of the drowning. In fact, the police told them they believe the young man slipped on to Demi Moore’s property after dark and entered the swimming pool.

    So far the name of the victim found in Demi Moore’s swimming pool has not been released, pending notification of next of kin.

    Rumer Willis is reportedly in New York working. Scout and Tallulah Willis have been sharing Instagram photos from France.

    The investigation into the body found in Demi Moore’s pool is ongoing. More information is sure to hit the media as more details are confirmed.

  • Rumer Willis and Bruce Both Broadway Bound; He Sings, But She Gets the Musical

    Rumer Willis and Bruce Both Broadway Bound; He Sings, But She Gets the Musical

    Rumor has it Rumer Willis is headed for Broadway. The daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars. Now Rumer Willis will have to put her dance skills to the test against Bob Fosse-style choreography.

    Rumer is slated to play Roxie Hart in the currently-running Broadway revival of Chicago. The question is: Can Rumer sing?

    Meanwhile, Bruce Willis is also headed to Broadway. Just as Rumer’s run in Chicago is coming to an end, Bruce will star in the Broadway adaptation of Stephen King’s Misery.

    Both the Willis’ roles are already famous thanks to film adaptations. Rumer’s role as Roxie Hart was famously filled by Renee Zellweger in the film version of Chicago. Opposite her as Velma Kelly was Catherine Zeta-Jones.

    Bruce Willis will play novelist Paul Sheldon, a role made famous by James Caan opposite Kathy Bates in the film version of Misery. Bruce Willis will, presumably, not be singing in the role. But of the father-daughter pair heading to Broadway, he is the one with a singing career under his belt.

    In 1987, Bruce Willis released The Return of Bruno on Motown Records. The single “Respect Yourself,” with the Staple Singers backing him up, hit the radio. Willis has often hopped on the stage with music acts when he was part-owner of Planet Hollywood, blowing harmonica and singing with bands.

    Whether or not Rumer Willis will be able to carry the load that singer Brandy Norwood is currently toting remains to be seen. Songs like “Funny Honey” and “My Own Best Friend” will put her to the test.

    Rumer Willis will also spend a lot of time in her underwear for the show. The musical is famous for putting many characters in skimpy costumes, most seemingly lingerie.

  • Rumer Willis Beats Dad Bruce Willis to Broadway

    Rumer Willis has beaten her famous dad, Bruce Willis, to Broadway. The Dancing With the Stars mirror ball trophy winner will soon star in Chicago in the role of Roxie Hart.

    Producers of the show announced they had cast Rumer Willis on Thursday. She will first appear on stage in August.

    Bruce Willis has long wanted to appear on Broadway, and even though Rumer Willis beat him his debut won’t be all that far behind. He is scheduled to star in the Broadway rendition of Stephen King’s Misery, starting in October.

    It’s perfectly clear that Rumer Willis can dance–but can she sing? She will no doubt begin working almost immediately with a voice instructor. Lots of non-singers have had roles in Chicago on Broadway throughout the years. Some who have played roles in the Broadway production include Sofia Vergara, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Ashlee Simpson, Paige Davis, Marilu Henner, Rita Wilson, and Christie Brinkley.

    Right now singer Brandy Norwood is playing the role of Roxie Hart. She will surely give Rumer a few pointers before vacating her role.

    Demi Moore and Bruce Willis–along with Rumer’s sisters Scout and Tallulah Willis–all sat together in the Dancing With the Stars audience to see Rumer both compete and win.

    Is it likely that they’ll all band together in support of Rumer Willis as she undertakes her first Broadway role?

    Hopefully she gets a night off here and there starting in October, so she can catch her dad’s Broadway debut as well.

  • 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?

  • Demi Moore: Rumer Willis Posts Photo on Instagram, Calls Her Mom ‘Cutest Human’

    Demi Moore: Rumer Willis Posts Photo on Instagram, Calls Her Mom ‘Cutest Human’

    Demi Moore is the ‘cutest human,’ according to her daughter Rumer Willis. Moore, Rumer, and Tallulah Willis had brunch together Sunday at the Beverly Hilton, and it was there Rumer snapped a great shot of Demi Moore.

    Moore rocked anything-but-basic black in a sleek tank, wide-brimmed hat, and black shades.

    Rumer Willis posted the photo of her mom to Instagram.

    “My mom is the cutest human,” Rumer captioned the shot, adding hashtags “#beautyhasnoagelimit #momtime.”

    A photo posted by Rumer Willis (@ruelarue) on

    It wasn’t so long ago that Rumer Willis shared a photo of herself alongside Demi Moore. Both mother and daughter wore matching jumpsuits and glasses.

    She captioned that photo, “That moment when you realize you actually are becoming your mother #twinning #imnotmad.”

    A photo posted by Rumer Willis (@ruelarue) on

    It’s plain to see that as she grows older, Rumer Willis not only appreciates her mom more, but realizes that Demi Moore is actually a beautiful woman. It often takes daughters a while to reach the level of maturity where they can recognize their mothers as more than disciplinarians and people intent on ruining their lives.

    How wonderful for both Rumer Willis and Demi Moore that their relationship has reached this stage.

    Do you suppose Demi Moore has reached that level yet with either Tallulah or Scout Willis as well?

    And do you agree with Rumer? Is Demi Moore the ‘cutest human’ ever?

    Rumer Willis’s whole family was brought closer together during her recent time on Dancing With the Stars–most especially her parents, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Even way before Rumer won that coveted mirror ball trophy, her partner Val Chmerkovskiy noticed something very special was at play.

    “That for me was the accomplishment this season–to see her family outside of their last names or their stature, but as parents, sitting there completely in awe of their daughter,” he said.

    Demi Moore and her daughters have had a difficult few years–with Demi’s divorce from Ashton Kutcher and subsequent breakdown. How wonderful that they’ve finally achieved this level of closeness as a family.

  • Ashton Kutcher Proud of Rumer Willis for Addressing Bullying and Body Image

    Ashton Kutcher is proud of his former stepdaughter Rumer Willis for her recent outspokenness in the media with regard to both bullying and body image.

    The Two and a Half Men star is a father now. He and Mila Kunis have a baby girl named Wyatt–and one day she might be faced with the issues Rumer Willis has so eloquently addressed in an essay for Glamour magazine.

    “It’s amazing that you’re telling your story and speaking up for other women,” Ashton Kutcher wrote, sharing a link to Rumer’s essay on his website.

    Rumer Willis is, of course, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher’s ex-wife, Demi Moore. Following her reign on Dancing With the Stars–and her mirror ball trophy win–she became reflective of how she suffered because of both bullying and a bad self-image of her body.

    “What it comes down to is this: We all need to stop bullying ourselves and being cruel to other women,” Rumer Willis writes in her essay. “Attacking one another instead of supporting one another has become the norm. Life’s hard enough as it is. Let’s find strength in the fact that we’re different and unique.”

    This isn’t the first time recently that Ashton Kutcher has voiced his support of Rumer Willis. While she was competing alongside Val Chmerkovskiy on DWTS, he frequently urged his Twitter followers to vote for them.

    Despite the drama that surrounded Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s split, it’s wonderful that he continues to support her daughters. Rumer Willis is clearly very fond of Ashton Kutcher as well. She reached out to him and Mila Kunis when their daughter was born to offer her congratulations.

  • Rumer Willis Opens Up About Ongoing Cyberbullying That Continues Despite ‘DWTS’ Win

    Rumer Willis says she continues to struggle with on-line bullying despite winning Dancing with the Stars last season.

    However, the 26-year-old actress says she is learning to cope with the haters out there.

    Bullying is not a new thing for Rumer Willis, however, one would think her big win on DWTS would have curtailed the attacks. Not so much, according to Willis.

    “Just because I was celebrated on Dancing With the Stars doesn’t mean the bullying has stopped,” she told Glamour for the magazine’s July issue. “After the show started, I had to block almost 10 people every day on social media because they wouldn’t leave me alone.”

    Rumer took the high road, however, and gained self-confidence from her experience on the show, which helped her glean an new perspective on internet bullies.

    “When it happens now, I remind myself that focusing on people’s negative opinions will only make me feel like crap,” said Rumer Willis. “If I start to get discouraged, I take a step back and go, ‘All right, I don’t feel great today, but what can I do to shift how I’m thinking?’ It’s difficult, but the moment you stop saying, ‘I’m really fat,’ or ‘I’m ugly,’ and just say, ‘Wow, I have this,’ then you’ll see a change.”

    Rumer Willis said it has always been a challenge to grow up as the daughter of mom Demi Moore and dad Bruce Willis and was constantly called out because of her looks.

    “When you grow up in the public eye the way that I did, everyone’s looking at you and waiting for you to do something crazy or say something wrong or have a meltdown. I was constantly bullied because of my looks, so I struggled a lot with my body image. I wanted to have no butt; I wanted to have no boobs. For a long time I just wanted to look tiny and androgynous,” admitted Rumer Willis.

  • Erin Andrews: Fox Sports Reporter and ‘DWTS’ Co-Host to Co-Host CMT Awards With ‘Pitch Perfect 2’s’ Brittany Snow

    Erin Andrews is finished with one recent co-hosting job, so it’s only fitting she’d take on another. Just a couple of weeks following the Dancing With the Stars season finale, where she watched Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy win mirror ball trophies, Andrews has landed in Nashville, where she’ll join Pitch Perfect 2 star Brittany Snow in co-hosting the 2015 CMT Music Awards.

    It seems Brittany Snow is an avid country music fan, too–as well as a fan of Erin Andrews.

    “As a longtime fan of CMT and the CMT Music Awards, I’m thrilled to join Erin in hosting what’s sure to be one of the most memorable musical nights of the year,” she said.

    Some of the biggest names in country music will take the stage along with Erin Andrews and Brittany Snow at the 2015 CMT Awards on Wednesday night, including Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, and more.

  • Demi Moore Proud of Daughter Rumer Willis’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Win

    Demi Moore is one proud mama. She watched daughter Rumer Willis, along with her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy, dance her way to the mirror ball trophy on Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday.

    For many episodes of DWTS, it was a family affair for Rumer Willis, with Demi Moore, dad Bruce Willis, his wife Emma Heming, and more in the audience watching her perform.

    Following the announcement of Rumer’s big win, Demi Moore took to Twitter to share her excitement and her pride.

    Moore said she was “filled with love, pride and awe” for her daughter, as well as her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.

    The photo Demi tweeted was typical of Rumer’s ‘family affair.’

    Demi Moore also shared a selfie taken with daughters–and Rumer Willis’s sisters–Scout and Tallulah Willis, as they cheered for Rumer and Val.

    Demi Moore admits that when Rumer Willis first talked about competing on Dancing With the Stars, she had some doubts. She talked about how it made her feel, indicating her “insides … screaming ‘No.’”

    It’s quite likely that Demi Moore is feeling much different about Rumer’s decision today.

    “One of the most beautiful things I’ve witnessed is watching [Rumer’s] passion become greater than her fear,” Moore during a taped segment on DWTS as she reflected on Rumer’s time spent competing. “It has nothing to do with her being my kid or Bruce’s kid. It has everything to do with just who she is.”

    Congratulations to Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy on winning this season of Dancing With the Stars–and to Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, too, for raising one incredibly talented daughter.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Demi Moore Opens Up About The Impact Her Divorce From Bruce Willis Had On Rumer Willis

    Demi Moore opened up on a segment for Dancing With the Stars Monday about the impact her headline-making divorce from Bruce Willis had on her daughters, particularly on her eldest, Rumer Willis.

    Demi Moore, 52, was featured with ex-husband Bruce Willis in a segment documenting Rumer Willis, who was competing in the DWTS semifinals with partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

    “When she was born, she literally looked like a little magical elf,” Demi Moore said of 26-year-old Rumer.

    “The kids went everywhere with us,” Demi Moore said of the nomad life the family lead because of movie roles in which Demi Moore and Bruce starred. “You go through my resume and pretty much, they were there.”

    “We were just constantly moving around. We probably weren’t in the same place for longer than two months at a time,” sibling Tallulah Willis added. “When you’re traveling so much and you’re not in school all the time, my sisters were my friends and we kinda realized how much we love each other and how much we need each other,” added sister Scout Willis.

    “When their father and I decided to divorce it probably had the biggest impact on her,” Demi Moore said of Rumer. “Media attention is tough when you are a kid, it is definitely weird to have that be such public knowledge. A couple times, things would happen in my family — whatever drama it was — I couldn’t leave my house for a week. As I got older and people started you know, commenting on how I look, that’s when it really started to affect me.”

    Demi Moore said she tried to support Rumer as best she could.

    “There really wasn’t anything I could do to stop it,” Demi Moore said. “Her self-esteem was nothing. I could only just keep loving her and loving her until she could love herself.”

    “When she said, ‘I think I wanna do Dancing With the Stars,’ my whole insides, I have to be honest, were screaming ‘No,’” added Demi Moore. “But, one of the most beautiful things that I’ve witnessed is watching her passion become greater than her fear… It has nothing to do with her being my kid or Bruce’s kid, it has everything to do with just who she is.”

    “I’m crazy about Rumer,” Bruce also said of Rumer. “I love her.”

  • Val Chmerkovskiy Attends Zendaya’s High School Graduation, Visits Children’s Hospital With ‘DWTS’ Partner Rumer Willis

    Val Chmerkovskiy is a very busy man these days. In addition to rehearsals for Dancing With the Stars, he attended the high school graduation of a former dance partner–Zendaya–and made a visit to Children’s Hospital LA just a couple of days prior with current dance partner–and mirror ball contender–Rumer Willis.

    Zendaya Coleman and Val Chmerkovskiy competed together during season 16 of Dancing With the Stars. The duo made it to the finals, placing as runners up.

    Val noted in a photo he shared of himself with Zendaya that the Disney actress appeared at the Met Gala shortly before her high school graduation–pulling both events off with style.

    “…from the Met straight to set to graduating high school. Proud of my lil Zendayachka. #driven #fam @zendaya,” Val Chmerkovskiy captioned the shot, as he wore Zendaya’s graduation cap.

    Val Chmerkovskiy must be quite a guy. To attend the high school graduation of a former DWTS contender and to visit sick children at the hospital with Rumer Willis and some more of his Dancing With the Stars friends–all while preparing to compete for the mirror ball trophy–is quite a testament to this pro dancer’s character.

    Do you think Val Chmerkovskiy and Rumer Willis will win this season of Dancing With the Stars?

    Val Chmerkovskiy is quite clearly a winner already–in so many obvious ways.
