Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer Rock The Grove With Their Dance Moves – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO


Animated. Playful. Hilarious. Talented. Those are the four adjectives I would use to describe Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer, known as Team Schmurgles on Dancing with the Stars.
Kyle and Lacey were at The Grove to speak with Mario Lopez of Extra. Kyle told Mario that he has absolutely no previous dance experience except for “The Jerk.” But thanked Lacey for changing him from “flab to fab!”
Lacey said there are six teams left on DWTS, and said out of those six teams there are three teams they call “Team Underdogs.” Team Underdogs are the teams with Kyle, Bristol Palin and Rick Fox.
Watch the full Extra interview next week!

In the meantime, watch Lacey show Mario how to dance!




And, watch Kyle and Lacey answer fans’ questions and watch the dance move Kyle invented:





How adorable are Lacey’s shoes?!

Lacey Schwimmer and me 🙂

Dancing With The Stars Shocking Elimination! Watch The Video…

To find out who went home on Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night, click “Read More” below for spoilers and the elimination video.

When the possible bottom two couples were revealed, Judge Len Goodman griped: “This is ludicrous that one of these two is going home. We like the underdog, but we like justice more, and there is no justice these two being here. It’s nonsense.”

SPOILER ALERT: The possible bottom two couples were Derek Hough / Jennifer Grey and Tony Dovolani / Audrina Patridge. And shockingly, it was front-runner Audrina who ended up going home!  
“I don’t think words can describe what I feel right now,” Tony told E! Online. “There are a whole bunch of emotions, but if it’s meant for us to go home, it’s meant for us to go home. It’s a bittersweet moment. It’s bitter because I really felt like Audrina and I had a chance of winning the title.” 
Audrina herself was taken by surprise and told E! Online: “It really was [shocking]. I don’t really know what to say.” But there is some good news for Audrina: “My show with Mark Burnett got picked up, so I’m going to be on VH1. It’s going to just be about me and my life in Hollywood, and my family’s going to be on it. It’s going to be really personal and private. I’m sure Tony will be on it. He’s like my big brother now.”

Florence Henderson Booted Off Of Dancing With The Stars

Oh, no, not TV’s favorite mom, Mrs. Brady! And not on TV-theme night! But alas, it was Florence Henderson who was voted off of Dancing with the Stars during Tuesday night’s elimination show after dancing to the theme of The Brady Bunch.

Florence and her partner, Corky Ballas actually got decent scores on Monday night from the judges, but it appears the fans did not dial in and Florence became the fifth star to leave the show.

After learning she was to leave, Florence said: “I have been in TV for over 50 years, and I have to say in all honesty that this is one of the best-produced shows I’ve ever been on.

“I’ve loved this show since it began. I think it’s just a tremendous show. I hope I’ve inspired people to get up off their behind and move and dance and live and enjoy life.”

Here are Corky and Florence a couple of weeks ago when I ran into them at a Mark Ballas (Corky’s son) concert:

The Situation May Have Danced His Last Dance On DWTS, But He Was Out Partying Right After Show Ended!

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino may have danced his last dance on Dancing with the Stars, but he did not seem too bothered by being booted off of the show tonight, as he was found partying it up after the show ended.

The Sitch met up with fellow DWTS cast members for a party at LA’s Boudoir for launch of the denim and twill lines into the mens’ Doctrine Collection.

The event was hosted by DWTSDerek Hough.


Mark Ballas tweeted this picture via Twitter of The Sitch, his dad, Corky Ballas and himself from the party. Even though it’s Corky Ballas doing the fist pumping, The Sitch looks just fine and in high spirits to me. Cigarettes and lighter in hand to boot.

DWTS’ The Situation Dances The Argentine Tango But Storms Off Stage Upset – Video

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino got the lowest score on last night’s Dancing with the Stars and he was not happy about it.

The judges were rough on his tango calling it a “a terrible mess” and a “rough ride.” This must have come as a shock to The Situation after the judges picked his and partner Karina Smirnoff’s dance as their favorite last week. You can see the look of unbelief on their faces to the left as the scores were being revealed.

“I don’t know what their deal was. I really don’t know,” Mike told Us Magazine.com. “I was upset. I actually stormed off upset because I tried so hard. I really did. I changed my haircut, I don’t know.”

“Once I landed all those lifts and the judges were trashing me? I’ll be honest with you, it was in one ear and out the other,” he added. “In the back of my head, I knew those lifts were extremely hard. I tried my best, and if they didn’t see it and wanted to be negative, so be it.”

Here is The Situation in action, dancing the Argentine Tango. You judge his performance for yourself:
