Amber Riley Wins ‘Dancing with the Stars’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements, News,
Amber Riley has won Dancing with the Stars.
The Glee actress and her professional partner Derek Hough have taken home this year's mirrorball trophy after triumphing over High School Musical actor Corbin Bleu and his professional partner Karina Smirnoff with a perfect-scoring samba/quickstep fusion.
"Anything that scares me I want to do. You can do whatever, whatever, whatever you put your mind to," Amber said, speaking after the result was announced.
And despite coming second, Corbin was just delighted to have taken part: "I thank God for this experience. I thank my family."
Earlier in the evening, Jack Osbourne - whose sister Kelly came third on the show in 2009 - and his partner Cheryl Burke were eliminated into third place after the first round of dances. "I'm definitely not a better dancer than my sister, for one. We're both tied. Just going the distance for me was winning enough," he said.

Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez to Host The X Factor?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Gossip, Rumors,
Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez are set to host The X Factor. The pop star search show started last week, but still lacks a presenter to front its live episodes, but sources say reality TV star Khloe and former Saved by the Bell actor are the poised to sign on as presenters.
Mario - who appeared in the third season of Dancing with the Stars in 2006 - was tipped to host the first series of the show last year, but the job went to Steve Jones, who was dropped after unsatisfactory ratings. Show boss Simon Cowell has previously hinted Khloe, 28, was his first choice to host the show. "I know whom I would like, but now I have to get it approved by the network. We have screen-tested a load of people ... It could be a Kardashian. I think that would work. I'm a fan of putting inexperienced hosts on this show. We have to find people who have a great chemistry, but Khloe is definitely up there in the running," he said earlier this year.

Another High School Musical Star Strips Down
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
This time, the Disney star appearing in the buff has proper airbrushing and the esteem of a promotional campaign behind him - no grainy Webcam pics for HSM’s Corbin Bleu.
He’s one of four celebs posing, almost-nude, in new pics for The Beautiful Life, and he’s looking quite grown up. Ben Hollingsworth, Sara Paxton and Ashley Madekwe also appear in their own pictures for the campaign, but Mischa Barton is curiously absent.
The new CW series will premiere on September 16.

Randomly Commenting About: The Beautiful Life’s Cast Photo
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Video,
Of all my years watching America’s Next Top Model, I don’t recall this pose ever being addressed.
While reviewing this cast photo for The Beautiful Life today, I noticed one odd thing: the group lean. Is there a fan blowing really hard from the right? Corbin Bleu‘s about to fall over! (Someone please cue posing instructor Benny Ninja now.)
The new CW drama about the world of modeling makes its debut Wednesday, September 16 @ 9:00. It will follow immediately after that other show about beautiful people (ANTM). You can watch a preview of the series after the jump.

Celine Dion: That’s Just The Woman In Me
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Music, Prime Time, Specials, CBS, Editorial,
When it comes to singer Celine Dion, most people fall into one of two categories: the ‘It’s the soundtrack of my life’ group or the ‘Please God, make it stop…MAKE IT STOP’ group. There is a third, smaller category of people though who don’t care one way or another about her music but just enjoy how delightfully, over-the-top cheesy she is. (There is a reason certain celebrities are satirized on Saturday Night Live.)
Friday night CBS aired Dion’s one-hour primetime special, Celine Dion: That’s Just The Woman In Me. The show was taped in front of a live audience at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre back on January 12. It was the 5-time Grammy winner’s first concert since wrapping up her 5-year run in Las Vegas.
The title of Celine Dion’s new album, Taking Chances, describes the show fairly well. It was a one hour mix of glitzy dance numbers, power ballads, celebrity duets and cameos, a somewhat staged Q&A session and heck, even an appearance by one of the stars of High School Musical!
The opening act featured Dion in a sparkly, gold mini-dress in a very Vegas-esque song and dance routine. Her dancing features a lot of little kicks and chest pounding motions. One might describe it as spastic. One might even question why such an accomplished singer needs to be part of such an over-choreographed dance routine. But something about Celine Dion’s sincerity makes the whole scary scene a bit more forgivable.

‘High School Musical’ Dancing Special
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Specials, Cable,
I’m going to take a wild guess and say that most of the die-hard fans of High School Musical 2 have already seen the film a thousand times thanks to their DVR. So every line, lyric and nuance have been dissected at this point.
But for those who just can’t get enough, The Disney Channel will be airing a dance-along version of the movie next month. So if you’ve been scratching your head trying to figure out some of those choreographed 8-counts, Zac Efron (along with the other cast members) will be on hand to help provide instruction for several of the musical’s numbers.
Be sure to set your Tivo now for September 8th.
