It’s totally Derek Hough’s year. From winning an Emmy and choreographing at the Olympics to competing this season on “Dancing with the Stars” and performing on a North American tour with sister Julianne, Derek seems to be checking almost everything off of a very full bucket list. Oh, and did we mention he’s starring in […]
“Dancing with the Stars” announced its cast for Season 18 earlier this morning, and holy moly we’re excited. Not only did our suspicions about Olympians competing for the mirror ball trophy come true, but the list of athletes involved is even better than we had hoped. Charlie White and Meryl Davis sport their gold medals […]

And while we’re happy the Emmys at least HAVE a choreography category (*cough* Oscars, get on that! *cough […]
Derek and little sis Julianne on “Dancing with the Stars.” Good news—there’s another reality dance show hitting the airwaves this month. “Family Dance Off,” a competition featuring five families and their mad dance skills going head to head for a $10,000 prize, will premiere Sunday, August 25 on ABC. I don’t know about you, but […]
Kellie and Derek perform their “Instant Dance” to surprise music on last night’s finale. Check out how together they are! (ABC/Adam Taylor) Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough! On last night’s “DWTS” finale, these two blonde cuties nabbed the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. And they certainly earned it at Monday night’s finals, snagging a perfect score […]
