Misty May-Treanor had one heck of a injury. But, just like they teased me through the whole show to find out what happened, I'm going to make you wait (or scroll down to the bottom of the blog).

Susan Lucci & Tony Dovolani

Dance: Jive

First, I fear for a wardrobe malfunction. Susan's wearing a polka dot dress with spaghetti straps holding up the top. All the bopping around could free her chest. The music starts and they're off. Susan seems a little lost to me. And it looks like she doesn't follow through with the steps. I know the jive is a fast dance, but it's like she's in a hurry to get through this one. It must be hard for Tony to swing her around. She's so tiny, he could easily throw her into the audience. Susan says she rolled her ankle during rehearsal.

Len says Susan has kept a constant standard throughout the competition. Bruno says Susan got the look right. Bruno says her foot was unsteady in the steps. Carrie Ann commends Susan for not letting an ankle injury stop her, but she doesn't think Susan was very confident.

SCORE: 21

Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer

Dance: Viennese Waltz

They went to a senior center to get their approval for traditional-ness. Lance told one of the ladies he would tone down the hair. Lies. It's all crazy! But the dance is not. It is lovely.

Bruno says they were prim and proper. He says there was a little problem with the rise and fall - he thinks Lance looked a little heavy. Bruno likes the sparkle. Carrie Ann says it was fantastic. She says Lance was dancing right alongside Lacey. Len says it was flat-footed, the posture was poor, it had great musicality and content. He also called it their best dance by far.

SCORE: 22

Maurice Greene & Cheryl Burke

Dance: Jive

Before the dance, Cheryl says footwork is one of Maurice's weak points. Guess the jive isn't fast enough for him? Maurice is wearing this sparkly blue jacket (likely not from his own personal collection). He does this crazy leap right over Cheryl's head when the dance starts. Wow. I am impressed with Maurice. This might be his best dance yet. His feet are moving well. And he's smiling through the whole thing. Loved it!

Carrie Ann says Maurice is like a wild, untamed beast. But that's a good thing. Len says it was lively, great choreography. He says it was their best dance. Bruno says Maurice had the energy and sense of fun. He says when Maurice is really focused, he executes the dance well.

SCORE: 24

Rocco DiSpirito & Karina Smirnoff

Dance: Viennese Waltz

Before the dance, Karina had Rocco wear a blindfold to help him learn the dance. He wore it for a little bit of the dance. I didn't understand his ruffled shirt. The dance was fine. I did chuckle when Rocco put silly glasses on Len.

Len says he didn't mind it. He says there were elements that were very good. Bruno says Rocco should have kept the blindfold on. He called the dance a lump of mashed potatoes. He says Rocco loses the musicality. Carrie Ann says Rocco is the most improved of all the dancers. She says he's likable.

SCORE: 20

Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

Dance: Viennese Waltz

Warren promises the "softer side of Sapp" and I cannot wait! Warren does not disappoint! This is sweet! they glide around the stage like it's the easiest thing in the world. Love, love, love it!

Bruno says it was big, smooth and beautiful. He says Warren has an ability of getting the character of the dance. Carrie Ann says she thinks she has a crush on Warren. She says every girl wants a big hunkin' guy like him to sweep her off her feet. She says he's mind blowing. Len thought it was going to be his stumbling block. He says Warren is giving those skinny people a real run for their money.

SCORE: 25

Cody Linley & Julianne Hough

Dance: Jive

Will Cody's youthful energy come in handy - or will it make him look a little spastic? It looks like Julianne's choreography is crazy fast! And it is. I'm giggling at Cody playing Juliette's leg like a guitar. Then he did it again. Why? Wasting precious time - DANCE! I was worried he might drop Julianne at the end, but he didn't.

Carrie Ann says it was good. She says he was counting the whole time. She says it was awkward. Len says the first half was fantastic. He says then it got repetitious (the guitar thing twice). Bruno says he agrees with Len. He says Cody started like a twinkling twinkie. He says Cody has the talent and he should use it.

SCORE: 21

Toni Braxton & Alec Mazo

Dance: Viennese Waltz

They were dressed like it was the 1800s. Weird. But the dance was good. When Alec spun Toni around as she stood on one foot, I thought she looked like she belonged in a jewelry box.

Len says if it's not broke, don't fix it. He says he didn't enjoy the dance. He says Toni doesn't need gimmicks - she's a good dancer. Bruno says she took a huge risk - even Sofia Coppola couldn't tackle Marie Antoinette. Carrie Ann liked it. She says it was a huge risk and it comes down to a matter of taste. She says the dance was originally scandalous. She says it was smart of Toni to wear that dress because she couldn't see if Toni had done a lift.

SCORE: 22

Cloris Leachman & Corky Ballas

Dance: Jive

I'm worried about Cloris. This dance is fast and she's - wait for it - 82 YEARS OLD! Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm ready to see her dance. She has this pink puffy wig on. It's got all the gimmicks and marching around. It is kind of funny. Corky threw Cloris through his legs, then , he tossed her wig off. She was laughing so hard, she could hardly move. Then they did some crab like walk at the end. Cuckoo.

Cloris walked over to the judges and said I just want ones. Then she sat down. Bruno said it will take all the shrinks in America a lifetime to analyze this dance. He says it was beyond comprehension. Carrie Ann says she's speechless. She says the crowd was off their rockers hysterical. She says what Cloris lacked in technique she made up with charisma. Len says Cloris did do a basic step (hands behind the back).

SCORE: 16

Brooke Burke & Derek Hough

Dance: Viennese Waltz

Before the dance, there's a little breakdown from Brooke. She tells Derek he's making her feel like an idiot. She walks out of rehearsal. Derek says he pushes her hard because he thinks she can win (I do, too). I cannot believe Brooke has never danced before! She is amazing! Her lines are so beautiful - and so is she. This was romantic and sweet. At the very end, Brooke kissed her daughter (appropriate, since she's dancing to "Daughters" by John Mayer).

Carrie Ann says Brooke is becoming her favorite dancer. Len says it's the best dance of the season so far. Bruno says it was beautiful.

SCORE: 28

Misty May-Treanor & Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Misty suffered an injury during Friday's rehearsal. She hobbles onto the stage with crutches. Then, we see the video of the injury happening. There's a loud noise, Misty originally thought was her hitting something or being hit with a baseball bat. But it turns out, she tore her Achilles tendon. They show the x-ray of the injury. Misty says she was planning on taking time off to spend it with her husband. She's going into surgery Tuesday and sounded pretty confident when she says she's coming back stronger than ever. Misty says all the women will be upset because Maks is done so soon. Misty says the world needs more Maksim (she left out shirtless - SHIRTLESS MAKSIM!!). He says he's impressed with her. Misty says when she's healthy, they're coming back to do the jive.

Well, that's it. No explanation of what happens on elimination night. My guess is they won't eliminate anyone and they'll carry over the scores into next week. They did say Jennifer Hudson and Kool and the Gang will perform. OOH! And The Rockettes will kick their way through a song!

Susan....she seems to be improving in terms of how comfortable she feels. I felt like she forgot many of her steps though, which is unacceptable.

Lacey and Lance...Loved it, loved it, loved it! So beautiful! Both the dance and Lacey! And Lance did really well. Bruno wasn't a fan....is he crazy?!  Len...complains of flat footedness...bad posture...but says it's their best so far. I thought it was way better than Susan Lucci!

I hate Cheryl Burke...but I can't say I hated her dance tonight. She and Maurice did well. I thought the clock on his back was obnoxious though.  Oh--and she looks like she's starting to lose some of that weight--still ugly though. Ooooh--she's my daily self-esteem post! I'm glad I don't have her face!

Rocco: He is so adorable! Hate the song, hate the dance, hate the mask he started with, her dress is too busy, rubbing noses was annoying. Len with the glasses...stupid.

Warren Sapp...how adorable is he?! I don't know if I'm a fan of head to toe burgundy, but he is adorable and is trying so hard! I don't know how graceful he looked...I mean, he's a giant of a guy, but for being as big as he is, he did great!

Cody and Julianne...Of course, let's include a video of man-voice Miley in the pre-dance package. Yuck!  Hate country music, hate Julianne's hair, the second time he played guitar on her leg I was annoyed (once was cute--two was obnoxious), the dance was alright...definitely took a lot of energy.  Len actually agreed with me about two leg guitars!

Toni....I give her props for wearing that ridiculous outfit. I can imagine having that wide thing on was difficult. I will say this about her: she genuinely dances like she's in it to win it. I just get that vibe from her. She seems to be enjoying herself and also wants to do well.  As to the dance itself...I didn't care for it. But I do appreciate that they tried to make the Vienese Waltz not so boring.

Cloris and Corky: What a fun grandma she'd be. How cute does she look!But the shtick of her being old and not being able to dance is getting a bit old. I mean, I seriously am starting to feel as if she should be a litle more capable. I feel like she doesn't even try to follow the technique. But her cleavage...I hope mine looks as good fifty years from now!

Brooke...Pretty dress, pretty flowers in the hair. Beautiful dance! Sweet kiss to her daughter! Absolutely lovely!

Misty....Ouch!

So, who do I want to go home? Susan (still looking a bit awkward), Maurice (because I hate Cheryl), Rocco (he's cute, but his dance sucked this week), or Cloris (it's not fair to those who are really dancing their hearts out for her to stay much longer).

its not easy to be a hollywood celebrity (i know...tell me about it... HEHEHE! as if i really know)

much more kung hollywood couple pa kayo.  eh paano pa kaya kung gay couple...arrrggghhhh ang hirap.  huwag kayong mag-alala, pag napangasawa ko si Orlando Bloom sasabihin ko sa inyo (nyahahahhahaha wishful thinking)

anyway, this hold true to former N Sync member Lance Bass and Amazing Race Season 4 winner Reichen Lehmkuhl.

When Lance Bass finally admitted to People that ill proverbial phrase 'IM GAY' on July 26, 2006, he also  proclaimed his "very stable relationship" with Lehmkuhl. The couples relationship had been tabloids 'fiesta' as they were mugged by paparazzi on any event they went through.  Together with their popularity comes a great deal of unsolicited stories that tested the realtionship to its limit.  Accordding to WIKIPEDIA as they weave the events:

" PAGE SIX reported that the "cash-strapped" Lehmkuhl was using Bass for money and publicity for his upcoming memoir. Tabloids also reported that Bass's friends disapproved of his relationship with Lehmkuhl, claiming "[Lehmkuhl] is a big gay activist and very controlling. He wants Lance to give up his straight friends and do whatever he tells him to.”

OUCH!!!

Reichen however responded "If I were actually that type of person, I wouldn't even want to be alive... it would have to be a miserable existence." Regarding the timing of his book release, he stated, "The book was done and set for publishing and distribution before I ever met Lance."

As researchers of WIKIPEDIA writes:

"In December 2006, Lehmkuhl threatened to file a lawsuit against gossip blogger PEREZ HILTON, after Hilton posted items for months that implied Lehmkuhl was CHEATING on Bass, and that he was a user of CRYSTAL METH. In a blog posted to his MySpace, Lehmkuhl stated, "It is not clear how the lawsuit will be structured, but we are committed ... the goal of this lawsuit is to result in the stopping of your name being used in connection with untruths and gossip on the internet that obviously damage/ruin your name/reputation and lessen your ability to be successful in your profession." Hilton responded by stating, "Now that he can't comfortably ride Lance Bass' coattails, this is Reichen's latest transparent attempt to get publicity for himself. I applaud him!"

Wooohhh the plot thickens...

in an interview with PEOPLE in an exclusive statement: "We remain the best of friends," they say. "Please respect our privacy as we try to work things out during this difficult time.".  During this interview, Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl have split, but the pair are attempting to work out their relationship.

Dec. 4, 2006, Lance Bass spokesperson confirmed that they had ended their relationship. Speculation arises that the pair had broken up began after Bass was spotted without Lehmkuhl at a party on Friday at Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas. According to WIKIPEDIA: "After he broke up with Bass, Lehmkuhl dropped the lawsuit against Perez Hilton and removed the post from his MySpace. Hilton and Lehmkuhl remain rivals, with Hilton once posting on his website that he will take a picture with anyone, "except for Lance Bass's boyfriend or Fidel Castro... and they're both practically dead to [me] anyways!"

i would...

his gorgoeous looks...

his blue eyes...

his well toned body

even STRAIGHT girls would crave for a man like him.

well... but of course, sometimes beauty comes with a curse.  he was one person i know in hollywood with a much-publicized relationships with different men.  who can blame a good looking men like him if guys kept on checking him out anytime of the day?  just check out the photos below:

Went to see it last night.

I don't even know where to begin.

This film is basically a satire of Hollywood in general and action films in particular (neither of which I'm a big fan of). It holds a star studded cast, as well as the main three 'Stiller / Black / Downey Jr.' there are minor roles going to Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise, as well as cameos by Tyra Banks, Alicia Silverstone, Lance Bass, Jon Voight, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Jason Bateman. Ben Stiller is the director, producer, writer, lead actor.

Don't get me wrong about this film; some bits are really really funny. However I think the humour is just sort of empty. It's a farce and it tries so hard to be wacky and controversial. It's main aim is to poke fun at a bunch of spoiled rotten, self-centered actors - rather relevant to our current Hollywood.

Apart from some absolute classic comic moments from Robert Downey Jr. and some genuinely accurate satire by Stiller (namely a spoof film called Simple Jack - which really has been taken the wrong way), the antics here are pretty empty, redundant and long-winded. This film will most definitely be a hit, the comedy fans out there will fall in love with it; and it will be one of those highly over quoted films. Personally I'm just not sure what to make of it.

So, if you want an outrageous look at method actors, failing actors and falling actors; maybe you will benefit slightly from this film. It's just a bit overwhelming.

Sadly the film is also scattered with unnecessary F-bombs. It is very offensive.

*Sigh*.

Rosie O'Donnell is in talks with NBC to get a variety show started (you know a la Carol Burnett or the great Sonny & Cher Show). OMG How much more Rosie can we take??

I know, I know - she's an awesome lesbian and activist and without her coming out, many people wouldn't have came out (Lance Bass, Clay Aiken, etc) but c'mon - a variety show??

Of course, I'll be watching it - who wouldn't?? I just hope that America doesn't get too sick of Miss Rosie - but the love affair between the general population and Ro have weathered some great storms (Elizabeth and the Donald) - maybe a variety show is just what both of the them needs right now.

Who knows.

What I do know is: It isn't easy being 'OUT' as open as these celebrities are! I came out when I was 19 to my friends - which was so hard. Little did I know that they knew (most close friends have an inkling I think). Their acceptance prompted me to tell my family a year later. I'm so glad I did - but dang it was hard. I really had no 'role-model' back in the ancient days of my gaydom. No one to see how they did it. Of course, not that I would come out on People magazine or on my TV Show - but at least I could have seen how easy it was and maybe I would have come out earlier or maybe not have been so stressed/depressed about being gay with a cool role model like the ones coming out in the media today. TR Knight, Neil Patrick Harris et al - kudos to you all and a BIG thank you for everything you're doing for kids today that need to look to someone that has gone before them. Rosie and Ellen - without them there would be many sad fags and dykes! Still doesn't solve my concern over the new Variety Show at NBC - but I guess I'll just have to check it out - Hopefully it'll be just as good as her turn on Gimmie A Break!! haha!

P.S. = no one has gotten back to me about possible drinking games for the debate tonight - let me know which other ways to get tequilla shots besides Palin saying the word 'RUSSIA'!!

I'm totally and completely addicted to this show... always have been and always will be!

I have to say, that I was actually pulling for Kim to be voted off the show.  Everybody kept saying what a "surprise" it was to have her voted off.  Are they kidding?  Did they watch her?  Bruno was right... she was "more cold and distant than Siberia!"  It was like she couldn't be bothered to actually try!

I can't remember during which episode I watched, but she said to the cameras, "I want to stay so that I can wear more pretty costumes."  WHAT?  Idiotic!

Then, all of the after-show interviews where everybody is going on and on about how "sweet" and "nice" she is and how she's never "performed" before.  GAG ME WITH A SPOON!  Isn't this the same Kim with Playboy, the sex tape, and a reality TV Series?  PPPAAAHHHLease!  Spare me.

I'm still rooting for Cloris... but, hope that she drops the serious act and gets drunk and verbally absuive again.  I really liked Warren Sapp with his Matrix Paso Doble with the eyeliner!  Go Warren!  Now, that guy has heart!  If Kim would have given it the same amount of heart... she'd still be in the running.

Jessica Simpson totally SUCKED last night.  Sorry, Jessica fans.  She sounded horrible and looked scared to death!  I really liked watching the dances to her songs, however... Cheryl Burke and Maksim C.  They looked like they needed to get a room.  And, guess what?  They were out at "One Sunset" the night before, hand-in-hand partying it up.  Apparently, they also left the club for a 10 minute "walk" behind the building.  Uh-huh... But, Maks says they're "just friends" and that Cheryl's been one of his best friends for years.  The entire time that the paparazzi is following them and interviewing them, he's too busy with his BlackBerry to be bothered.  I hate Maks!  Such an ego-maniac! 

The other dancers to Jessica's singing were Pasha and Anya from So You Think You Could Dance.  I actually saw them perform live in San Diego, and let me tell you... Pasha is friggin' hot!  He can shake his boootaaay!  Their dance was RED HOT and blew every dance OUT OF THE WATER!

I'm kinda bored with Brooke Burke... I mean she's hot, and a mom, and really good.. but, she bores me.  I don't know why.

Julianne and that kid from Hannah Montana are doing well.  Is his name Corey?  Well, they're good dancers, but he's so young that he just totally bugs me.  But, my kids like him.  Speaking of which, when the Jonas Brothers and Jessee McCartney were on... it was like the Superbowl for them! 

Susan Lucci just does absolutely nothing for me.  She reminds me of when Jane Seymore was on. 

My FAVORITE FAVORITE now, besides Cloris, is Lacey and Lance.  Lacey was one of the final 3 finalists on So You Think You Can Dance two seasons ago.  I also saw her perform live and her brother was in the audience behind me making entirely too much racket.  Anyway, they're so hip and cool!  I want them to win!

As for Toni, Mo, Misty, and the rest... I mean, they're okay... but they never like THRILL ME.

Here are some videos I dug up if you have nothing better to do:

Her mother is so ridiculous...

Love Lacey!  Those toes!

-and-

Mario dilly-dallying with his computer screen - MAN, did he blow it with Karina!

I know, I'm the last person to judge - or should judge - but c'mon people! Mr. Michael has yet AGAIN been caught in a bathroom - this time it's drugs. Ok - when I had a brush with the law, I was 27 and stupid. What's his excuse? He's like in his 50s right? This is just insane and it's sad that for every person like Lance Bass or Neil Patrick Harris out there in the open world of a gay celebrity, there is a bad egg. I just wish George would get his act together - but he probably likes drama too much. In that case, I'd suggest to him to get AMC at home and stay there and watch it - he'd get into less trouble that way! Yep, I know I'm getting too judgmental, so I'll stop. It's just that I expect more from society I guess and when your shown an actual person along with the problem - it gets to me. I hope that in the future generations to come, being gay will not be considered so wrong.

Obviously, there's a reason for lying in dark bathrooms waiting for sex and drugs that will always be in some gay mens mind due to communities they have lived in, how open they are to themselves and how society has thought about the gay lifestyle. Many men my age and older, have always thought that was they way to feel and get to know another man - in the shadows. Life may always be like that for most - I'm not saying that is how George Michael is, I cannot know what he is going through - I just hope that he either gets help or starts to date me. Flippy would be jealous!

*whew*

OK, with that said, I really looking forward to the debate tomorrow with Biden and Palin - I think every time Palin says 'RUSSIA' I'm gonna take a shot of tequila. Any other suggestions, let me know!

Hahahah!! That's "We're going to Disney Land, happy!"

Lance Bass and his gal dance-mate seem uber excited on this weeks Dancing with the Stars! Is that what crack feels like???? 

Eleven couples did two really difficult dances Monday night. Only ten of them will get to learn a new dance next week. Get a recap of the third elimination show after the jump!

I have to say one thing about how they start the elimination show: I love that they just have the intro and then don't waste time re-introducing the couples as they walk down the stairs to the stage. Why on Earth do they do that on dance nights? It's a waste of time.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'm ready to write about the rest of the show.

YAY! We get to see Warren and Kym's paso doble! The more I watch this, the more I love it. I want Warren to keep getting better each week so he can be around for a long time! He honestly is one of the few I look forward to seeing this season.

So here's the leader board:

1. Warren & Kym

1. Brooke & Derek

3. Toni & Alec

4. Cody & Julianne

4. Susan & Tony

4. Misty & Maks

7. Lance & Lacey

8. Maurice & Cheryl

9. Kim & Mark

10. Rocco & Karina

11. Cloris & Corky

The first couple safe: Toni and Alec. Next: Rocco and Karina. WOW! I guess fans of the celebrity chef got busy with the keypads.

Jessica Simpson performs her hit "Come on Over." The pro dancers perform. I want to watch, but I'm totally distracted by Jessica (in a bad way). I skip this part of the show. More couples advance: Cody and Julianne, Brooke and Derek advance to the next week of competition.

Len and Bruno are also judging the British version of the show. That's crazy - flying from Los Angeles to London and back every week! That's 11 hours one way! The UK version airs on Friday and Saturday nights. Well, now I know why they make some of the comments we hear.

Next up, some dance performance. They're wearing lighted costumes. It's kind of cool. It might be cooler if there weren't any lights on.

Jessica Simpson returns to perform "Angels." Cheryl and Maks dance (and it looks like Cheryl is wearing Kim Kardashian's dress). Again, Jessica's singing distracts me, so I hit fast forward. Tom Bergeron says you can pick a dance for the pros to do. Go here to pick the dancers. And then design a costume for them to wear to enter the contest to see the show in person! Susan and Tony are safe.

Also continuing to the next round: Warren and Kym, Maurice and Cheryl.

Lance and Lacey are safe. Misty and Maks are safe.

That leaves Cloris and Corky and Kim and Mark in the bottom two. Cue dramatic music. And the couple with the least amount of votes and leaving...

Kim and Mark. Mark, who helped Kristi Yamaguchi win, couldn't get Kim to shine. Oh well. At least his dad (Corky) is still in there - for now.

The top 10 will be back next week with new dances, sparkly costumes and the potential for a wardrobe malfunction.

The started off with a slight recap.  I think my favorite moment was Len going off on Lance & Lacey because they can't fool this ol' boy.  Anyway, I am really looking forward to the result, but again, I will bet money on Rocco!  Oops, I have been calling the host Jeff- he's Tom....don't know how that happen!

Toni and Brooke were the bomb.  They are the best in the bunch by far.  Misty May scares me.  Susan is hanging in there.  Cody won the judges over with his youth.  Ok, what is Lance doing kissing a girl, no wonder Len told him off!  Maurice failed to heat up the dance floor- lacked finesse.  Kim dulled the judges, but they like her body.  The Judges thought Rocco was just a dud .  Cloris delivered although the judges did not give her props.  Warren stole the show!  Some sizzled, some fizzled- Who's going home?

The Dance that the Judges wanted to see again was Warren and Kim's Paso Doble.  Very Dramatic stuff.  They definitely did the gosh darn thing.  But it sure must be hot inside of all that Pleather.  But, I am happy for Warren that he got the first shot out from the Judges for a repeat!  I think that at these Pro Football camps must have a couple of weeks of ballet or some kind of dancing as part of the schedule.

11th place: Cloris & Corky- 15,  10th place: Rocco and Karina-16,  9th place-Mark and Kim- 17, 8th place: Maurice and cheryl- 19, Tied with a score of 20: Lance and Lacy,  Misty and Max.   Tied with a score of 21: Susan and Tony & Cody and Juliane,  Toni and Alec are in third place with 23 points and Brook and Derek are tied for 1st place with Warren and Kim with 24points.

They began the elimination process:

1st two couples safe= Toni and Alec- I'm glad  that they got called first, because even though they don't tell you, I am pretty certain that Toni wasn't in the bottom two last time and it is only fair that she didn't have to go through that again.

Rocco & Karina- OMG, this is a total upset.  I really don't know who is going home now!  Wow, you never know what is going to happen.

Jessica Simpson performed 'Come on Over'.  Yawn....I just don't get the hype, but I think that I am in the minority because everyone else seems to get it.

Samantha Interviewed Rocco & Karina and Toni and Alec.  Rocco promised to step his game up and said he was humbled.  Karina said they had already made peace with going home, so it was great to get called first.  Toni said that it was great being called first and she was relieved.  Alec babbled on about taking up the guitar, now that he had conquered singing.

Next couple safe= Cody and Julianne  &  Brooke and Derek.  I pretty much knew that these four couples would be safe.  I would have been shocked if they went home.  So, who's is going home?

Tom shared with us that Bruno and Len are dividing their time between DWTS in the US, but they also film two episodes of the British version of DWTS in the UK.  Monday and Tuesday in the US and then they go off to the UK for an 11 hour flight.  Wow, they are pretty busy, you know Tom may be right, their busy schedule may be making them more cranky than usual, because Len really looked like he wanted to slap Lance upside the head last night.

Then we had a performance with the professional dancers and a former Pussycat Doll Carmit Bachar.  This performance was actually pretty good, usually I kind of tune out, but this one was interesting.  Okay, Jessica Simpson performed again.  She looked good, but I still don't get it.

Samantha interviewed Cody and Julianne & Brooke and Derek.  Julianne said that she was really surprised that Cody is so versatile.  Brooke was modest again and gave credit to Derek for him being hard on her to get her to do so well.

Next couple safe: Susan & Tony- Can't shake the Erika Kane fan club.

The stars revealed that in the Red Room they vent their frustrations and they view it as home base.  The Red room is where they can be themselves before and after their dances.  Warren said that Misty was just like one of the guys (yeah I know).  There was a consensus that Maurice is Mr. Congenialtiy.  Rocco is always on the Phone.  Toni is always a Diva.  Cloris always makes them laugh .  They said that they are like a family in the Red Room....who knew the Red Room was all that?

Next couple safe: Warren & Kim and Maurice & Cheryl.  Seven couples are now safe.

Next couples safe: Lance & Lacey (they don't do anything for me) and Misty & Maks

Down to Cloris & Corky and Kim & Mark.   I forgot that Corky is Mark's father.  Damn....Cloris is going home.

Oh snap......Kim is going home.......I am flabbergasted! Sure didn't see this coming.   I never thought that she would go home this early, I thought that her bootilicious-ness would keep her for a few more weeks!  Wow!  You could tell that she didn't think she would go either!

But you're not here to read about my life! You guys want to see random nude pictures of celebrities (like Sarah Palin, still!) And sorry, still can't help you.

Anyway, since I am getting sooo many views lately(ahem, yeah right) and have nothing to really write about anddd I just want to procrastinate on my real work.

More TV premieres!

Tomorrow is Pushing Daisies, Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money. I'm a loser and don't have a DVR,  Tivo, whatever, so yes, I watch a three hour block of TV on Wednesday nights. But I never have to change the channel! They're all on ABC.

So after tomorrow my TV schedule for fall will be complete.

I really don't know why I watch Dirty Sexy Money, but its addicting. And I've missed it. Pushing Daisies is sooo good. The sets are adorable, and so are the clothes. And personally, I like Private Practive more than Grey's Anatomy. The patient stories are always tear-jerkers.

And as for TV shows on already... well there is Skins, which I already wrote about, Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway (which will be ending soon) and sometimes Dancing with the Stars.

Gossip Girl has been disappointing lately, but Monday's episode was really good. And I absolutely love Chuck now. LOVE HIM. And Blair. They were always my favorites, but now I just love them even more. Serena pisses me off no matter what the writers do with her. Still mixed feelings about Jenny, though. And I knd of like Dan? I didn't see Nate or Vanessa this week (maybe they were in the first 20 minutes) so idk there. Chuck just broke my heart this episode! I want more like this. And I am looking forward to what is going to happen with Jenny and her fashion and relationship with Blair, as well as the whole Serena/Blair ordeal.

Ugly Betty was amazingly disappointing, as was Grey's. I just felt like the writers took the easy way out with the plot on UB by making her not pick and just go "discover" herself. And it was so cliche about how she still really didn't solve anything bceause she ran away from her problems. I wanted her to be with Gio! God. I liked the end song though! Tom Petty.

Grey's Anatomy... I don't know how many times I have said I wasn't going to watch that show anymore! I want Izzie to be with Alex, but then Alex was an asshole. George should be with Meredith's sister. But I did like how Cali and whats-her-face are back together sort of. And Christina and that crazy soldier guy! That was good, but it was kind of bland to me. And wayyy too long.

Now to Dancing with the Stars. I am rooting for my rep for the Olympics, Misty May (I want her to kick Kim's ass! Which may be hard to do) and of course Lance! It would be just wrong if I didn't want a former N*Sync member to win. Plus he is dancing with Lacey Schwimmer. Who is amazing. I hated her during SYTYCD, but I loved Season 3 with a little too much passion (reminiscient of my love for the Olympics) so I like to see them in the public eye. Never got to meet her when I went to the tour though. Her leg was messed up. It was upsetting.

Oh and November 17th is the Golden Goggle Awards, and I think you can watch it online, so I will update about that later. Ryan Lochte has been doing nothing I can talk about so justthought I'd mention it.

I just got Martha Wainwright's CD: I Know You're Married, But I Have Feelings Too - - - AND, it's friggin' awesome! I urge everyone to go out and either buy it or borrow it from someone - great lyrics and head-boppin' songs!!

Oh, and if you're watching Heroes... Wasn't it Kick-Ass last night??? So, Is Tracy a clone, or what??? I can't wait until next week's episode - in the meantime, Dancing With the Stars will keep me occupied!! I hope Cloris will win this season (if she makes it past the elimination tomorrow!) if not, there's alway Lance Bass!!! *hotty*

One really BIG thing I can't wait for is the V.P. debate on Thursday - that is going to be ONE BIG POPCORN FEST!! I hope Biden doesn't make Palin cry too much after the debate - oh ok, I do hope it!! Me Loves this Drama!! (ya, ya bad grammar, yet, FUNNY!)

On a completely different note: Dolly Parton is coming to Milwaukee!! I'd get a tix - but no one I know will go with me *big sighs*, oh well, life will go on....

Hope everyone has a GREAT last day of September!!!

The most pressing question for me this week: will 82-year-old Cloris Leachman have a wardrobe malfunction? Seriously, she needs to put those things away. This week, the eleven couples perform either the paso doble or the rumba. These dances increase the odds of malfunction on Ms. Leachman's part. Does it happen? Find out after the jump!

Toni Braxton & Alec Mazo

Dance: Rumba

Alec should not quit his day job. When they showed him singing Toni's hit "Un Break My Heart," my dog stopped to look at the TV. I notice through much of this dance, I couldn't see Toni's face, so I just focused on her movement. She was sexy. Those split things she did - wow!

Len says he was surprised how good the performance was. He said it lacked some fluidity. Bruno says Toni gives it, but not too much. Carrie Ann says Toni moves like she sings. She says she loved it, but there were two lifts (Toni's feet came off the ground twice).

SCORE: 23

Brooke Burke & Derek Hough

Dance: Paso Doble

I am so impressed with Brooke! She moves like a professional! Derek worked wonders with the cape. It was a solid performance. The music had me thinking of one of those diamond commercials.

Carrie Ann says she was mesmerized. She said Brooke looked off balance a couple of times. Len says he thought Brooke portrayed the aggression very well. He said there was too much messing about at the start. Bruno says Brooke was born to dance. He says she had great timing.

SCORE:24

Rocco DiSpirito & Karina Smirnoff

Dance: Rumba

The show starts with Rocco in an apron (he's a chef, get it?). Then, out comes Karina in a little lavender dress. I didn't feel like Rocco did much dancing. Karina worked it. Rocko just held her in position.

Bruno says the stallion has run out of juice. Then he said he was standing there like "The Thing." Carrie Ann says Rocco had passion, but he was lacking musicality. Len says there were more tears than cheers. He says it wasn't really tasty.

SCORE: 16

Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer

Dance: Paso Doble

It was aggressive. It was a little bit like that dance when Cha Cha moves in on Danny in "Grease." I liked it, but could have done without the kiss at the end.

Len says it doesn't work. He wanted the cape. Carrie Ann says it was a clever song choice. She says she likes that they take big risks. Bruno says they're brilliant to walk. Bruno says he has to present like a bull fighter, but it looked more hip hop. Len made fun of Bruno's arm gestures.

SCORE: 20

Kim Kardashian & Mark Ballas

Dance: Rumba

Kim looked a little lost the brief time she was out of hold. And she didn't look at Mark a whole lot. It looked like she almost lost her top at the end of the dance.

Bruno says it was colder and more distant that Siberia. He says she needs to get the character and sell it. Len says Kim has so much potential. He says the rumba has to show chemistry and hip action. He says she had all the gear in the rear. Carrie Ann says she needs to watch the playback because it looks like she's done the same dance three times.

SCORE: 17

Misty May-Treanor & Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Dance: Paso Doble

OOOH! Maks is wearing a vest sans shirt. Now, I'm focusing on Misty. There was something off. I don't know if she wasn't finishing the steps or if she was scared, but something wasn't right. The cartwheel over Maks was cool!

Carrie Ann thanked Misty for the energy in the dance. She told Maks it was ambitious choreography. Bruno called her "Xena the Warrior Princess." He says he loved her energy, he says she puts so much power that she stumbles a little bit. Len says what she does when she is focused, Misty loses the connection with Maks.

SCORE: 21

Maurice Greene & Cheryl Burke

Dance: Rumba

This was nice. That's all I got. Oh, and Maurice was wearing green.

Len says Maurice talked the talk, but he didn't dance the dance. He says Maurice's hips weren't cooking. Carrie Ann says the choreography held him back. She wants him to project his energy outward. Bruno says he's surprised because Maurice was rough and clunky.

SCORE: 19

Cloris Leachman & Corky Ballas

Dance: Paso Doble

Cloris had on a dark wig as part of her character. She was actually pretty good! I am impressed - and not just because she's a senior citizen (and barely older than my grandmother).

Bruno said it was surreal. Len says it was a lovely traditional dance to traditional music. He liked the solo spins. He called a great attempt at a difficult dance. Carrie Ann says she hopes when she's 82 that she's half the woman as Cloris. And Carrie Ann stopped there.

SCORE: 15

Susan Lucci & Tony Dovolani

Dance: Rumba

Susan opened Tony's shirt at the beginning. Woo! This was a cross between Pocahantas and some beach fantasy. It was S-L-O-W, but it was nice.

Carrie Ann says it was nice. She says it was smooth and elegant. Bruno says it was a good rumba, but she said Susan dances like the virgin queen - he wants more cougar. Len didn't like it when Tony exposed himself. Len says the rumba is an actor's dance and that's what Susan did.

SCORE: 21

Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson

Dance: Paso Doble

I'm not gonna lie - I'm worried about Kym. If Warren uses all his strength, he could crush her! Warren definitely had his game face on. This looked like "The Matrix." It was interesting. I kind of wish Warren hadn't been wearing that long jacket, it was was kind of hard to see his feet. Then, I was afraid he really would crush her when he stopped at the end - they're costumes were stuck or something.

Len says Warren looked good (and he thought Kym didn't look bad, either). He thought it was an intense and excellent paso doble. Carrie Ann called him the paso doble killer. Bruno says "The Paso gone Matrix." He says it was like a Lamborghini on the freeway. He says the way Warren moves his feet is fabulous.

SCORE: 24

Cody Linley & Julianne Hough

Dance: Rumba

Wow! So good! I cannot believe how young Cody is! He dances like he's been doing this forever! How Julianne managed to go the whole dance without tripping over her dress surprised me.

Bruno says Cody needs to learn control. He says Cody has the talent. Len says it lacked a little bit of polish and finesse. He told Carrie Ann to avert her eyes because Cody is on fire. Carrie Ann says it was innocent and age appropriate. She does think Cody needs to loosen up his hips (is that creepy?).

SCORE: 21

Cloris, Kim and Rocco are all at the bottom of the leader board this week, and I think they belong there. The other couples are much stronger. I think one of them will go home - at least they should. Tuesday night, we don't just say goodbye to one couple. Jessica Simpson performs (go ahead and boo, haters). Oh, and I know some of you want to know more about the music on the show. Go to the official DWTS page for that.

Later.
