DWTS

Ron Artest a.k.a. Metta World Peace and his partner Peta Murgatroyd were eliminated tonight after the first vote of the season left them in the bottom.

I am not shocked, he was really horrible! He also scored lowest last night.

I won't do a complete recap because my cable was in and out all night which meant to watch DWTS i had 5 clips on my PVR (DVR) for the show... so annoyed, but that's a different story!

I am impressed with Chyna, David, Chaz, JR while Carson was entertaining and fun. Kristin and Ricki did well also. Nancy did not. Rob surprised me.

Last Nights scores were as follows:

-Chynna Phillips and Tony Dovolani earned 22 points

-JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff also scored 22 points

-Ricki Lake and Derek Hough scored 20 points

-Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas took 19 points

-Nancy Grace and Trisatn MacManus earned 16

-Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke also scored 16 points

-Elisabetta Canalis and Val Chmerkovski took away 15 points

-Ron Artest and Peta Murgatroyd came in last with just 14 points

I have a feeling I may skip Monday shows and just watch Tuesday's results, recaps etc. because there is far too much great tv on to waste two hours every Monday ;)

DWTS 13 - Pairings

Dancing With The Stars Season 13 "stars" were announced last week and now we have the pairings...

Dancing with the Stars' thirteenth-season professional partner cast features nine professionals who have previously competed on the show: two-time mirror ball champion Mark Ballas, two-time mirror ball champion Cheryl Burke, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani, three-time mirror ball champion Derek Hough, two-time mirror ball champion Kym Johnson, Lacey Schwimmer, Karina Smirnoff, and Anna Trebunskaya.

In addition, the cast also includes three professional dancers who will be making their debut as Dancing with the Stars partners: Val Chmerkovskiy, Tristan MacManus and Peta Murgatroyd.

Dancing with the Stars 13

MacManus and Murgatroyd were both members of the "Dancing with the Stars Troupe," the new six-member dance performance group the show introduced during last spring's twelfth season, while Val Chmerkovskiy is the younger brother of veteran professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

The 12 celebrity participants -- which ABC announced Monday -- competing on Dancing with the Stars' thirteenth season are actor David Arquette, NBA basketball player Ron Artest, transgender advocate Chaz Bono, model and George Clooney ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, former The Hills star Kristin Cavallari, legal commentator Nancy Grace, Keeping Up with the Kardashians sibling Rob Kardashian, fashion expert and former Queer Eye star Carson Kressley, former talk show host Ricki Lake, Iraqi war veteran and All My Children soap star J.R. Martinez, singer and actress Chynna Phillips, and American women's soccer star Hope Solo.

Ballas will be partnered with Cavallari. He previously won Dancing with the Stars' sixth season with Kristi Yamaguchi, eighth edition with Shawn Johnson, and is returning for his ninth season.

Burke will compete with Kardashian. She previously won Dancing with the Stars' second edition with Drew Lachey, third season with Emmitt Smith, and is returning for her twelfth season.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who is participating in his eleventh season, will be partnered with Solo.

Dovolani, who is back for his twelfth season, will dance with Phillips.

Hough -- who missed last spring's edition to film Cobu 3-D, an upcoming danced-themed movie that will represent his feature film debut -- will be partnered with Lake and participating in his eighth Dancing with the Stars edition. He previously won Dancing with the Stars' seventh season with Brooke Burke, tenth season with Nicole Scherzinger, and eleventh season with Jennifer Grey.

Johnson will be competing with Arquette and participating in her tenth season. She won Dancing with the Stars' ninth season with Donny Osmond and last spring's twelfth edition with Hines Ward.

MTV posted the new cast for DWTS:

Chris Jericho
Jericho, born Christopher Irvine, is very well known to the world of professional wrestling fans. The 40-year-old was the first undisputed champion of the WWE in December 2001 (he beat Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock) but put his career on hold recently to focus more on his other passion project, performing as lead singer of heavy-metal band Fozzy.

Romeo
Although originally signed up to strut his stuff on season two, Romeo was replaced at the last minute by his equally famous poppa, Master P (whose turn on "DWTS" has been touted by many critics and followers as one of the worst in the show's history; his Paso Doble holds the record for the lowest score ever). With the bar set slightly lower than average, the 21-year-old rapper, who once played college basketball for USC, likely hopes to make it farther than his father.

Kendra Wilkinson
The decidedly un-shy, already established reality-TV star Wilkinson is no stranger to performing or baring all in front of audiences. Wilkinson, who got her start as a Playboy model, ventured into television as a part of E!'s "The Girls Next Door" before slightly tempering her party-girl ways to settle down with NFL player Hank Baskett, their domestic bliss being the subject of her current show, "Kendra: Bunny Next Door."

Kirstie Alley
Before she was the subject of her own reality show, "Kirstie Alley's Big Life," first on A&E and now Lifetime, and a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, Alley was known to several generations of TV watchers and filmgoers for her memorable turns on TV shows "Cheers" and "Veronica's Closet" and movies like "Look Who's Talking." The outspoken celeb is a longtime "DWTS" fan, whose entertaining and varied tweets have been featured frequently in our Twitterwood column on MTV Movies Blog.

Wendy Williams
The self-proclaimed "Queen of All Media" made a name for herself as a radio DJ then became a best-selling author and currently hosts her own syndicated daytime talk show called "The Wendy Williams Show." Williams has a knack for asking uncomfortable questions during celebrity interviews and will certainly be a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Her talk show is reportedly scheduled to go on hiatus while she competes on the show.

Chelsea Kane
As has been the custom over the course of the past few seasons, the "DWTS" team has welcomed another Disney star into their midst, Chelsea Kane (formerly known as Chelsea Staub, Kane legally changed her professional name back in December). The 22-year-old was a regular on Disney's "JONAS," starring the Jonas Brothers, and currently lends her voice to the character Bea on the animated series "Fish Hooks."

Sugar Ray Leonard
Leonard, a former professional boxer, follows in the footsteps of a slew of former professional athletes who have danced before him. While athletes have been formidable competitors in "DWTS" seasons past, the boxers haven't fared quite as well. The 54-year-old's illustrious career includes winning world titles in five weight divisions, including the welterweight champion of the world, as well as being the first boxer to earn more than $100 million in total purse winnings. Here's hoping Leonard's footwork is more like that of Laila Ali than Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.

Ralph Macchio
Although he's had a few memorable parts on TV shows like "Entourage" and "Ugly Betty," for a lot of people, Macchio will always and forever be the original "Karate Kid." Sure, Jaden Smith karate-chopped his way to box-office success with his turn in 2010's remake, but Macchio kicked his way into the hearts of teenage girls everywhere with 1984's "The Karate Kid" and subsequent sequels.

Hines Ward
They're certainly not skimping on the athletes this season! Ward joins the cast as one of three professional athletes competing for the famed discoball trophy. The onetime Super Bowl MVP currently plays wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers and was born in Seoul, South Korea. In September of last year, President Barack Obama appointed him a member of the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Petra Nemcova
This Czechoslovakian beauty is a supermodel with a big heart. The 31-year-old was one of hundreds of thousands of people caught in the devastating South Asian tsunami in 2004, which killed 250,000 people in 14 countries, including Nemcova's boyfriend at the time, Simon Atlee. When Nemcova visited the site of the tsunami several months later, she was unsatisfied with the structure of how charitable donations benefit those living in states of emergency, so she created the Happy Hearts Fund to help children in post-disaster areas in eight countries: Haiti, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Hurricane Katrina-affected areas of the United States.

Mike Catherwood
While most TV watchers are familiar with Dr. Drew from his various VH1 shows, his "Loveline" radio partner, Mike Catherwood, might not be as well-known. Catherwood, also known as Psycho Mike, has co-hosted the syndicated radio show for a year now, following Adam Carolla's exit back in 2005. The muscly radio host -- who also works on Los Angeles' "Kevin & Bean Show" -- recently made a memorable appearance filling in for Regis Philbin on "Live With Regis & Kelly." We'll see if his smooth-talking skills and time in the gym translate to a successful "DWTS" run.

I am looking forward to a few of these dancers....

The Palin's

The Palin's piss people off apparently. One guy shot his tv which led to a 15 hou stand off because he was mad Bristol Palin was so successful on DWTS. Meanwhile Bristol and her sister Willow had a facebook war with people who were "dissing" their mom's new show.

Reality World writes:

"Sarah Palin's Alaska, is failing so hard right now," Tre wrote on Facebook.

While mild, the "negative comment" quickly initiated a fierce response from the Palin sisters.

"You just run your mouth just so you can get a reaction. You're a typical s--t talker -- talking s--t because you have nothing else going for you," Bristol wrote.

Willow then fired back at Tre with even more frustration.

"Haha you're so gay. I have no idea who you are. But what I've seen pictures of, you're disgusting... my sister had a kid and is still hot," Willow boasted.

"Tre, [shut the f--k up]. You're such a f--got... quit talking s--t about my family."

Additional Facebook users and possible classmates of the Palin sisters later joined the argument expressing their opinions, but Bristol and Willow refused to back down.

"Sorry that you guys are all jealous of my families' success and you guys aren't going to go anywhere with your lives," Willow wrote.

Seems the Palin's have numerous issues, and to think Sarah Palin wants to be President? wow!

DWTS - Another season begins

Another season begins and I am actually loving the "stars"

More...

1 - Audrina & Tony - What an opener. Audrina has a body of a dancer... but her face was annoyingly muted.

2 - Kurt & Anna - He really impresed me surprisingly smooth.

3 - Kyle & Lacey (He is in Cory in the house) & Lacey - they were so entertaining. He has charisma!

4 - Rick Fox & Cheryl Burke - the height difference is hilarious. They floated, no glided nicely across the stage.

5 - Margaret & Louis - I loved the humour in the routine.

6 - Brandi & Max - not surprisingly awesome. She is a performer and has experience dancing. She even seemed sweet....

7 - Bristol Palin & Mark - She just seems too young and insecure. She was the Kate Gosselin tonight ha ha - pretty horrible

8 - Flornce & Corky - Brady Bunch Mom not so sweet and innocent ha ha

9- Michael & Chelsea - I love Chelsea
and Bolton isn't so bad either!

10 - Situation & Karina - wow - he is cocky... but he wasn't as horrible as I expected based on 5 days practice (they justfilmed season 3 Jersey shore? omg!)

11 - Jennifer & Derek - Dirty Dancing alumni, she was beautiful and amazing

12 - David Hasselhoff & Kym - only he gets the Pam Anderson look a like eh? Well, maybe not look a like but equally plastic. HOw is the hoff still such a star in Germany? He really is getting old eh? Something about The Hoff dancing to SEXBOMB was just wrong!


I kind of think and hope Bristol goes home... Situation was bad, but he is entertaining, Bristol has no flavour...



Who are you rooting for?

Rumours have been circulating as to who would be on the new DWTS Season and I have to say I am pretty excited by some of the new "stars" while others.. well... I don't care... Let's look at who is on and who they are paired with first...

More... Here is the complete list of DWTS pairs:

Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino & Karina Smirnoff

David Hasselholf & Kym Johnson

Michael Bolton & Chelsie Hightower

Of course Lacy Schwimmer, Audrina Patridge, Bristol, "Corey in da house" will also be entertaining...



Who are you most excited to see? Who do you think will go home first? Who will make it to finals? Time will tell!!!

Dancing with the Stars - Evan Lysacek's Vampiric Paso Doble

Did you catch Evan & Anna's amazing pasa doble last night? I was so thrilled that they were safe and would love to see them win this season of Dancing with the Stars. I know Nicole seems to be a favourite, however, she has dancing experience. For that reason she SHOULD be a good dancer non?

I am hoping for Evan to win or Erin if not Evan.. Nicole is a too obvious choice but I feel this show is more about growth than showcasing exsisting skills.

Anyways, back to the Paso Doble, let me just say - WOW! It was so amazing and I had goosebumps!!!


Don't be surprised if Evan Lysacek's smile includes a couple of fangs when he dances the paso doble again on tonight's Dancing With the Stars.

The Olympic gold medalist says the routine was inspired by Twilight and True Blood, but he and partner Anna Trebunskaya had to lose some of the bloodsucking details from last night's performance. Hear what Evan told me in our exclusive chat this morning...

What's this I hear about the dance last night being inspired by Twilight?

There were some props involved, but our dress rehearsal was such a disaster. I tried to glue fangs on my teeth but they fell off. They drew a widow's peak on my forehead, but then I started sweating and had black dripping down my face. I was supposed to pull the cape off of Anna's dress and instead I pulled her real skirt. So we eliminated the fangs and the widow's peak and the Dracula-type thing and made it a little more subtle. Some people I think got it and got that I was biting her on the neck. Tonight we're doing the repeat dance, so I might try [the fangs] again. I'm thinking about it.

So, are you a Twilight fan? Have you seen the movie?

Yeah and I really enjoyed it, but actually I love True Blood. I'm obsessed with True Blood. I think [Anna] was coming at it from more of a Twilight angle and I was coming at it from True Blood. I travel with the True Blood DVDs and I get so hooked. Last year I was doing a show and missed my number because I was watching backstage. They announced me and I wasn't there! I was too enthralled with the show.

Reality TV Updates

Well it's been a good week for Raelity TV So Far...

Amazing Race.... Jeff & Jordan came in from behind passing the cocky married couple out of the game after the cops u-turned them and they couldn't get the (very difficult) morase code.

I love Jeff & Jordan and hope to see them in as many ore episodes as possible.

American Idol... Tonight was good, The Rolling Stones theme was cool, I really like Lacey, Didi and Crystal for the girls but Siobhan is shining through with those killer notes.... For the boys, Casey, Poppa Mike, Lee are my faves. Andrew Garcia has been but he is not shining like he did in auditions and hollywood week.... I think Paige will go home, though her throat issues/illness may gain her some sympathy votes...

America's Next Top Model .... Am interested to watch this week and see how the girls handle living in the house and their first challenge


Bachelor... I missed the "special" that was apparently on Monday - did anyone catch it? Anything exciting?

Dancing with the Stars... I am really excited about this and can't wait to see Chelsie and Jake along with a few other's.
