MONDAY (6/22)
- Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm): Jon & Kate make some life-changing decisions. Well, Kate technically made the decision; Jon just didn’t want to argue.
- Charm School (VH1, 9pm): Season premiere. “Former contestants from VH1 reality shows work for charity (and a chance to win $100,000).” No good deed comes without incentives.
- Make It or Break It (ABC Family, 9pm): Series premiere. “In this drama focusing on the lives of teen gymnasts who strive to make it to the Olympics, new girl Emily Kmetko begins training alongside veterans who are both impressed with and threatened by her.” This could bring a whole new definition to the term “punch front.”
- Run’s House (MTV, 10pm): “The family rallies around JoJo after he’s charged with marijuana possession.” This whole time they had a connection within the home.

Alba, Leachman to Join Jack Black on The Office
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office,
Although most shows would be perfectly happy with just two seconds of Jack Black, NBC is not letting its Super Bowl year go to waste.
On February 1st, a list of stars will be making cameos on a rare Sunday installment of The Office. Joining a previously announced Black will be actresses Jessica Alba and Cloris Leachman.
In the special post-game episode, several employees of Dunder Mifflin will attempt to download a bootlegged movie during work hours. (The title of the show is appropriately titled “Stress Relief.”) Jack, Jessica and Cloris will all be featured in that film.
Football fans will also get an added bonus. That installment of The Office will run a full hour.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 6 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Last night on Dancing with the Stars, the remaining seven competitors each performed two dances. After completing their individual numbers, the couples then all gathered for a group hip hip number.
By night’s end:
- Two competitors (Cody and Maurice) suffered noteworthy drops from their recent season highs.
- Warren got his third 25 of the competition after the Rumba. That’s a mark he has not yet been able to beat.
- Lance, who was scolded last week for his West Coast Swing, received a 27 for his Jive. Not only was that his personal best - it was Monday’s best. (Brooke only had a 26 for the Rumba.)
- Cloris plunged way back into the teens. Although she had been hovering in the 20’s the past two weeks, she only got a 15 yesterday for her Cha Cha Cha.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 6
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
On this week’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, the viewers - and competitors - saw a list of firsts.
- For tonight’s battle, the Top 7 competitors each had to perform a dance they had not yet attempted.
- The couples all had to tackle hip hop for the group dance number.
- Len Goodman - who had an unexplained absence this Monday - was replaced by Michael Flatley (a.k.a. the “Lord of the Dance”).
- One professional announced that they would be temporarily leaving for a non-dance related medical procedure. (Julianne Hough is having her appendix removed this week.)
In the end, who proved they could master two dances…and who showed us they couldn’t even handle one? Read on!

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 5 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Last night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars turned out to be quite an interesting event. Although we are used to seeing frustration on the celebrities’ faces, we are not accustomed to seeing clueless looks on the professionals as well.
Ironically, the teachers most familiar with the new styles they were given (Tony with the Hustle and Lacey with the West Coast Swing) received some of the lowest numbers of the night. Meanwhile, those coming into their dances cold (Derek, Cheryl and Kym) scored well.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 5
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, long-time followers of the show were offered a very nice treat. For Season 7’s halfway point, the remaining eight couples were challenged with four entirely new dances.
For the first time, the parquet floor saw the pairs take on either the Hustle, Jitterbug, West Coast Swing or Salsa. Interestingly enough, the styles were so new—even some of the professionals struggled. (Derek Hough even had to research online!)
Which competitors rose to the challenge…and which ones needed more schooling? Read on!

On yesterday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, the nine amateur performers were assigned either the sexy Samba or the fiery Tango. By night’s end:

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 4
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
Last Tuesday, chef Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff came very close to being eliminated from Dancing with the Stars. But thanks to Misty May-Treanor’s nasty accident, the couple was given another chance to stay in the game.
Unfortunately, the remaining 9 pairs were not able to write off Week 3 completely. The scores from this Monday’s dances are going to be combined with last week’s numbers to determine Week 4’s elimination.
So after tonight’s Samba and Tango performances, were Rocco and Karina still likely to leave next? Read on!

Last week, eleven couples were vying for Dancing with the Stars’ mirror ball trophy. Seven days later, we were down to only nine.
Although she had planned to take on the jive tonight, an injury forced Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor to suddenly leave the competition. You can see her explain the incident - and hear the injury happen - below.
So how did the remaining dancers fare in Week 3? You can find out after the jump.
