Derek Hough Is Joining J. Lo's "World of Dance" Show

Look at that smize! (ABC) Is Derek Hough the World’s Busiest Man™? It’s entirely possible. From cha-cha-ing across the “Dancing with the Stars” floor to lighting up the small screen in Hairspray Live! to taking on Gene Kelly’s iconic role in the Broadway revival of Singin’ in the Rain, Hough is never not moving. Now […]

"DWTS" Week 10: The Semi-Finals

Oh my gosh, you guys: so much crying. There was SO MUCH CRYING during last night’s “Dancing with the Stars” semi-finals. Even Tom Bergeron, The World’s Least Flappable TV Host, just about lost it. It was an emotional time in the ballroom. (Heck, it’s an emotional time everywhere.) We’re getting to the end of this […]

"DWTS" Week 9: Showstoppers Night

Ballroom + Broadway = one fabulous night of “Dancing with the Stars.” Most of the show’s weekly themes are gimmicky (Most Memorable Year, anyone?). But ballroom and Broadway were made for each other, as evidenced by last night’s performances. Of course, it’s late in the season, and the final contenders have honed their skills for […]

"DWTS" Week 8: Halloween Night

Here’s a fun challenge: Try to think of anything better than a “Dancing With the Stars” episode on Halloween night. I’ll wait. Yep, that’s what I thought. Last night’s Halloween-themed “DWTS” was spooky (in the best way), sort of sad (Sharna’s injury) and super-sweet (because of all the candy…and also Laurie and Val, duh). On […]

"DWTS" Week 7: Eras Night

If it wasn’t already clear that a decades theme is never wrong, this week’s “Dancing with the Stars” episode officially proved it. Eras Night was just so fun to watch (the costumes! the stories! the group dances!). The couples performed pieces based on various time periods—from the Roaring Twenties alllll the way to the 90s—and […]

"DWTS" Week 6: Latin Night

Bless the “Dancing with the Stars” peeps for knowing we needed something to help us recover from the cryfest that was Most Memorable Year week. Bless them for knowing that that something was an extra-spicy, super-hot Latin Night. Bless you, “DWTS” team, for washing away last week’s tears with an actual onstage shower. Latin Night […]

"DWTS" Week 5: Most Memorable Year

The “Most Memorable Year” episode is always going to be, well, memorable. There were some heavy moments on last night’s episode but since no one was sent home, we’re calling it triumphant. My early bet, race car driver James Hinchcliffe is still in the running. And did I not say that his dancing would become […]

"DWTS" Week 4: Cirque du Soleil Week

To call the last two nights of “DWTS” a whirlwind is, IMHO, an understatement. You guys, so much happened. Where to even start? There was an ENGAGEMENT! There were acro tricks and fringe costumes! There was a DOUBLE ELIMINATION?! And, as always, there was #TeamValaur. It’s time to relive Cirque du Soleil week—let’s do this. […]
