Dancing With the Stars Results: Chynna Can't "Hold On"

A big night in the ballroom as some great guests from music and dance make appearances.  On a sad note, one more contestant will be leaving this week.  

Last night was all about movies and I think they all did a pretty good job.  Chynna Phillips was perhaps the most disappointing of the evening since she had been so good the first three weeks.  Carson and Rob Kardashian again showed improvement and Hope Solo rebounded with a great routine. 

The first routine of the night was the song "Soul Man".  Some good music and dancing.

Next we get Susan Boyle singing a nice movie theme and we get some dancing by by Peta and Val.  

Now, on to the results.  J.R, Rob, and Ricki are called to the stage.  I'm sure Ricki is safe, but not sure about the other two.  Ricki is safe and so is J.R.  Rob and Cheryl are put in jeopardy.

Next we get to see Julianne House return to the balloom and dance with her Footloose co-star Kenny Wormald.  Also, Blake Shelton singing the new Footloose theme song.  It hits theaters this Friday. 

More couples up for elimination.  Carson, Chynna and Chaz are called up to the stage.  This is going to be a tough decision and a tough result.  The next contestant who is safe is Chaz.  Joining them as safe is Carson.  Chynna and Tony are going into jeopardy. 

They are really putting Julianne to work tonight.  She now gets to dance with Derek.  More high energy dancing from the Hough's.  

Three more couples to find out their destiny.  Nancy, David and Hope.  This will be another tough decision.  Returning next will be Hope and David.  Nancy Grace goes into jeopardy. 

The three couples in jeopardy do not look happy.  Brought to safety is Nancy and Tristan.  Rob and Cheryl and Chynna and Tony remain in jeopardy. 

Chynna is eliminated and Rob comes back for one more week.

Next week, we go back to the 80's.

Julianne Hough Returns to Dancing With the Stars

One of the most popular pros in the history of Dancing With the Stars returns tonight, although it will be for just one show.

Julianne Hough returns to ballroom to promote her new movie, Footloose.  I've seen the movie already and it's good and she's good in it.

Here's a clip from Julianne when she was partners with Apolo Anton Ohno.

Dancing With the Stars: "Movie Theme Week" Hits the Ballroom

This promises to be a great week on Dancing With the Stars.  We are at the point in the competition where the contenders usually start separating themselves from the pack.

The couples will be dancing to movie themes this week, so there are a lot of songs to choose from and song selection is very important.  But ultimately it's about the dancing, so we'll see who keeps improving this week.

The show started this week with a routine choreographed and performed by the troupe and pros.  After a medley of songs, we get the competition rolling.

First up are Chynna and Tony.  They dance to the theme from Mission Impossible.  It's a tango and Tony entered from the ceiling.  A little different and an ok effort.  A few missteps and problems during the routine.  Chynna gets a 21, and might be in jeopardy tomorrow.

On to David Arquette and Kym Johnson.  David showed improvement last week and he hope it carries over to this week.  They get a paso doble to the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark.  David tried hard to hold his nerves in place to finish the dance.  He did and turned in a good performance.  Len was a bit rough on David, but the other judges defended him.  David gets a 23.

Moving along to the always unpredictable duo of Carson and Anna.  They dance to a "Pirates" song.  A nice waltz complete with props and sword fighting.  I don't know if this routine was really good, or really bad.  Bruno said it's an idea for Pirates V: Revenge of the Gay Blade.   They get a 20, and the hook from Len.

Nancy Grace up next dancing to a song from Flash Gordon.  Tristan wants Nancy to work even harder and harder this week.  Nancy feels aggression will help her in the paso.  Lots of pyro and flash to this dance, but the technique and expression were lacking.  Nancy gets a 21.

Hope and Maks up next.  They dance to a song from Toy Story.  Max is a tough teacher and he was rough on Hope this week, will it pay off?  A nice, cute dance.  Jessie and Woody back together again.  The judges all have high expectations for Hope.  She gets a 24.  Top score of the night so far. 

Rob Kardashian and Cheryl up next with a Superman themed dance.  He's been working harder and Cheryl says it is paying off.  A good paso, and good comments from the judges.  Rob gets a 24.

A tango is up next with Ricki Lake and Derek Hough.  They are going psycho, as in the theme to Psycho.  This was a tough dance for Ricki and Derek.  Lots of moves and tough music to dance to.  They went all out and told the story of the dance and the crowd loved it.  The judges loved it as well and Ricki vaults to the top of the leaderboard with a 29.

Here we go again with Chaz and Lacey.  They will dance to Rocky.  Chaz keeps advancing even though his body is giving out.  It was a little strange, but i guess it had to be.  Cher loved it, the judges had some good things to say, and they got a 21.

J.R. Martinez and Karina finish off the night.  He gives performances that are emotional and passionate.  They dance to the theme to The Pink Panther.  They worked hard again this week in seach of dancing perfection.  Carrie Ann thought it was ok, Len liked it, and Bruno liked the humor in the dance. They get a 26.

Tomorrow night, Susan Boyle, Julianne Hough and Footloose.

Craig Brewer About to Have a Hit With 'Footloose'

I know what you are thinking, a Footloose remake can't be good. 

Well, think again, director Craig Brewer not only lived up to the high standards set by the 1984 original, he's surpassed it.

I was able to see a premiere tonight of the film which is due out in theatres Oct 14.  Even though there is a talented cast featuring Julianne Hough, Andie McDowell, Dennis Quaid and newcomer Kenny Wormald, the real stars of the movie are the story and of course, the dancing.

I'll post a review and a recap of the evening here in Atlanta that featured a Q&A period with Brewer, Hough and Wormald inside the theatre.

Interesting stuff and the stars and Brewer couldn't have been nicer or more accessible.
