Donald Driver Tops DWTS Leaderboard
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,
Donald Driver topped the leaderboard on Dancing with the Stars last night. The NFL star and his professional partner Peta Murgatroyd wowed the judges during rock week, with their paso doble to Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" - which saw the sportsman dance topless - earning a total of 27 points.
"Muscular. Masculine. Magnificent!" said judge Bruno Tonioli.
Carrie Ann Inaba described the routine as "raunchy and spectacular," while Len Goodman teased, "After the show, we'll compare tattoos."
This week was the first time Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas have not topped the leaderboard, with the judges receiving boos from the audience - which included David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Rita Wilson - when they awarded the couple 24 points for their paso doble.
"It had promise but didn't quite deliver," Len told them.

Man Charged with Stalking DWTS’ Shawn Johnson
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,
A 34-year-old Florida man has been charged with stalking a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
Earlier this week, Robert O’Ryan was caught jumping over a fence at the CBS studio lot in LA. After he was confronted by security, O’Ryan first said he was there to visit 17-year-old Shawn Johnson. Since the gymnast denied knowing the man, he then claimed he was there to see Steve-O.
When asked if he was was carrying any weapons, the suspect - who had an expired concealed weapons permit on him - admitted having two guns in his car. A follow-up investigation by the LAPD determined that O’Ryan possessed “a loaded .45 handgun, a loaded shotgun, and materials classically used for kidnapping including duct tape, zip ties, and a map to the victim. Also found were love letters, clippings and other information on [Shawn Johnson].”
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office charged Robert on Thursday with one count of felony stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle. Although he is currently being held on $35,000 bail, prosecutors are expected to ask that the amount be raised to $220,000.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 2 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features, Video,
Last night on Dancing with the Stars: Season 7, the remaining 11 couples took on either the Rumba or the Paso Doble. While one would normally expect to see better numbers in Week 2, most of the performers inexperienced declines.
When the points were totaled, Warren Sapp - who scored a 24 for his Paso - was the only person to see an improvement on Monday. But given that Brooke had scored a 26 last week, her 24 (also for the Paso) didn’t look so bad.
Of the four performers sitting in the under-20 point range, two hit new lows last yesterday: Kim (17) and Cloris (15). Meanwhile, the other two - Rocco (16) and Maurice (19) - still didn’t have much to brag about.
