Dancing with the Puppy!

Meet DWTS Pro,

Witney Carson's,

Newest Family Member!!

Dancing with the Stars' Mirror Ball Champion Pro, Witney Carson, has added a new member to her household, an ADORABLE Puppy!!

(Okay, all together now! –Ain’t no use in trying to hold it back! – AWWW!!)

Meet “Roxy”!  An elated Witney has described of her pet and its furry ancestry, via witneycarson.com,

“… we decid [sic] It’s a cavapoochon (cavalier king charles spaniel, poodle, & Bichon mix).”

The enamored Dancer has also gushed of her pup as being “perfect”, “amazing”, and a “little angel”, AND has requested that any and all Potty Training information and aide from Fans be shared immediately through her Website!

(Um, yeah, has she seen that little, sure-to-be-spoiled-rotten-face??  I’m afraid you just may be on your own, Wit, with the discipline and training of this too-cute fuzz ball!!)

Making its rounds amongst the DWTS Studio and its Season 23 Cast, Celeb Finalist, Jana Kramer, has joked of her plans to “steal” the cutie, via Instagram, DWTS co-Host, Erin Andrews, has unabashedly “demanded” its fawned-over presence within her Dressing Room on Twitter, while 6-time Mirror Ball Champion, Derek Hough, has quipped of his dog, Romie's, probable feelings of jealousy, as the veteran Pro was “caught” snuggling with Carson’s new pampered pooch via Instagram!

Kym Johnson to Replace Erin Andrews for Week 03 – DWTS, S23

Mirror Champion Pro,

Kym Johnson to Co-Host

Week 03 of Season 23

Dancing with the Stars’ 2-time Mirror Ball Champion (S09, S12) and Former Pro, Kym Johnson, will once again be rejoining the Cast of yours and my favorite Dance Show in the official capacity of Co-Host,  albeit under most unfortunate circumstances.

Kym Johnson

Temporarily stepping in to replace the Ballroom's current Co-Host, Erin Andrews, Johnson will be lending a helping hand to the Program's beloved Host, Tom Bergeron, for Week 03’s Tuesday Night Results Show, while Bergeron is reportedly already set to go the previous night's (Monday Night's) Competition alone.

Erin Andrews

Andrews will bow out of Season 23’s Face-off Week’s festivities to be with and support her grieving Boyfriend, Canadian Professional Hockey Player Jarret Stoll, whose 17-year-old Nephew, Jordan Stoll, was tragically killed in a car crash, according to globalnews.ca

Tom Burgeron

Taking to Twitter to announce the Show’s sudden change of plans himself, Bergeron has explained,

“My pal #ErinAndrews will absent from @DancingABC this week to support @jarretstoll whose nephew passed away.  Sending hugs and condolences”

DWTS Rumors and Cast Announcement Air-date!!

Season 22's Upcoming

Cast Announcement And

Premiere Air-date!!

<Ahhhhh!> It’s almost here!!

Dancing With The Stars (AKA THE best program to have ever graced network Television!) is once again dusting off its dancing shoes (<Squeal!>), as the show revs up for an all new spin around the Ballroom Dance Floor, in preparation for its latest (and very possibly GREATEST!) biannual installment, Season 22, which premieres on March 21^st, 2016!

DWTS Season 22's official poster featuring
Season 19 Mirror Ball Champion, Witney Carson (finally!),
and DWTS Pro, Keo Motsepe!

With the Dance Show’s highly anticipated, Seasonal Cast Announcement fast approaching, Fans of the beloved program - Myself, of course, being included!! - are (understandably!) hard-pressed to be patient for the official confirmation of its Spring Cast, which is set to air Tuesday, on GMA (Good Morning America) on March 8^th, 2016!

The sequin-studded event will ultimately squash or confirm (Yay!) the fast-flying Rumors that have been recently cropping up, such as reports that Nyle DiMarco, winner of America’s Top Model will be joining the 2016 Cast, as well as some other, cheer-inducing gossip that NFL Wide Receiver, Antonio Brown, of The Pittsburgh Steelers will be joining, along with NBC’s The Facts of Life Actress, Kim Fields, ABC’s Full House and Netflix’s Fuller House Actress, Jodie Sweeten, and MMA Fighter, Paige VanZant!

The show’s Host and co-Hosting duo of the past two years, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews,

DWTS Host, Tom Bergeron, and
co-Host, Erin Andrews, confirmed for Season 22!

have already been confirmed for yet another Season of miked fun, via Season 22’s Wikipedia page, while Ballroom’s beloved Judge, Len Goodman, is also set to return, 

Beloved Head Judge, Len Goodman,
Returning for Dancing With The Stars'
Season 22!

along with fellow Panel Judges, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli!

2-time Mirror Ball Champion and Panel Judge (of the show’s last 3 Seasons), Julianne Hough, has announced her departure from the Glitter Dome, at least for the time being, and will not be returning this Season as Judge, bringing the show’s Panel back down to its original, staple three Judges.

 It’s an all new Season of exciting (Samba) Twists and (Waltzing) Turns; and, it is - FINALLY  - just around the corner!

Ooo, I simply cannot WAIT!!

Introducing: Backstreet’s Baby Boy!!

Nick Carter’s Soon-to-Be

Blue-Bootied Bundle of Joy

is Introduced on DWTS!!

It’s a Boy!!  Nick Carter of the hugely popular Boy Band, The Backstreet Boys, announced during Dancing With The Stars’ exciting Week 08 episode that he and Wife, Lauren Kitt Carter, are (ecstatically!) expecting!

After revealing a bittersweet road to starting a Family together, during which Lauren had tragically suffered a previous Miscarriage with the Couple’s first child, an emotional Nick added that his Wife is now 16 weeks pregnant with the couple’s second.

“We’ve been trying to have a baby for about a year now,” The 35-year-old Singer recently shared, according to people.com.;  “It’s been rocky, to be quite honest with you.  There have been times when we thought that it wouldn’t happen.”

Following Monday night’s beautiful Contemporary danced by Nick and his Professional partner, Sharna Burgess, that earned the elated Couple their first-ever and well-deserved perfect scoring of all 10’s from the judges, DWTS’ Cast was only too happy to usher the Proud Papa-to-be and his Wife to the Studio’s “Red Room” where upon being interviewed by the show’s co-Host, Erin Andrews, the excited Celebrity was informed that the equally-elated Dance Show had secretly learned the sex of Nick’s un-born Baby, whilst being presented with a larger-than-life, gift-wrapped box.

Once opened, smiles, cheers, congratulations, and one celebratory kiss shared by the emotional Parents, swelled throughout the Room’s ogling Cast, as the box unleashed an array of blue in the form of flying balloons, signifying that Backstreet’s cutest Carter would be a Boy!

“It still seems unbelievable,” Nick has said following the joyous event, also sending out the Tweet, “It’s official!! #BabyBackstreetBoy”!

Nick’s fellow Backstreet Boy band members had also sent out the Tweet, “Welcome to the daddy family @nickcarter [!]  We can’t wait to meet #BabyCarter  #DWTS”!

Next Week is American Icons Night on DWTS – S21 (Wk08)

Icons Night is Coming

to the Ballroom for

Season 21’s Week 08

Next up for Dancing With Stars’ exciting 21^st Season is Icons Night.

Also coming next Week will be DWTS’ always-highly-anticipated and fun Dance Offs … with a terrific twist!

Making it’s Monday night Ballroom debut will be DWTS’ first-ever American Dance Offs in which Fans will help determine the Winners of this always-delightful event, via votes that will be entered during the show’s live airing, while the Dance Offs are taking place!

“Sitting in” as Head Judge for the Dance Offs, viewers of the show will be allowed to submit their votes as to which Couple they feel are performing better in the Dance Offs live through DWTS’ amazing abc.com website.

When the excitement ensues, the viewer votes will be displayed publicly within the Ballroom, in real time, for each one of the Dance Off’s participating Couples.

As usual, at the conclusion of each and every Dance Off, the show’s 3 judges, Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough, and Bruno Tonioli, will each present a Paddle bearing the names of the Couple they have determined as the Winner of the event.

The majority of America’s votes (that were given live, during the performance), will count as the Viewer’s very own, virtual “Paddle”, and will count towards the Couple receiving these votes.

Also, in the event of a Tie, as “Head Judge”, America will be given the power to determine the outcome of any Dance Off!

(If one Couple receives Paddles from 2 of the show’s judges, and the remaining couple, a Paddle from the 1 remaining judge AND the majority of America’s votes, then whichever Couple America voted for will be deemed the Winner of that Dance Off!)

The Couple receiving the highest Judges’ scores during next week’s FIRST Round of Dances will, of course, receive “Immunity” from competing in the potentially Elimination-causing event, and ultimately from the night’s dreaded Elimination altogether.

(Also, the Couple receiving “Immunity” will be awarded with an automatic 3 extra bonus points to be added their overall score.) The Winners of the three ensuing Dance Offs will be awarded with 2 extra bonus points to add to their overall scores, thus bettering their chances come “Booting-off” time!

It’s a nail-biting, sometimes-heart-wrenching, often-epic event that we fans don’t want to miss; and, it all kicks off Monday!!

In addition, DWTS’ long-endeared (and greatly missed) Erin Andrews is set to return as co-Host to Tom Bergeron!

Here Are The Dances Assigned To Each Couple, As Revealed So Far:

 Alek & Lindsay - Contemporary

   Nick & Sharna - Contemporary

Andy & Allison - The Waltz     

Carlos & Witney - The Salsa         

               Alexa & Mark - The Argentine Tango

         Tamar & Val - The Paso Doble

It’s not easy being green; and, it’s not easy being
the director of a live show; but, Kermit (Center)
performed both tasks admirably Monday night,
after shooting his ol’ pal, Fozzy the Bear
(Left), just one or two incredulous glances!

The always wacky and completely adorable
Muppets showed up Monday night to lend
DWTS a hand in the control room under
the direction of an ever-frustrated Kermit the Frog!

DWTS Host, Tom Bergeron, gets some
(unwanted) help from self-promoted
“Co-Host”, Miss Piggy!

Host Tom Bergeron receives the proverbial
“Pat on a the Back” from Kermit the Frog,
right before TV Night’s little, green Director
panics and realizes he has left DWTS’ Control Room
without proper management! – Week 03

DWTS’ Erin Andrews finally re-gains
her place as the show’s co-Host,
replacing a begrudging Miss Piggy!

Host Tom Bergeron
Tom has got to be  the best host in the world! 
His specialty? Dealing with the 
(sometimes extremely large) Elephant in the room!  
I mean, he can take any situation 
and just flip it around and make it
into a funny thing; and, everyone
relaxes ... He's so good!

Co-Host Erin Andrews
I had a really hard time coping with fact 
that she would replace Brooke Burke-Charvet;
but, Erin has really grown on me ... 
She's super nice, and (seemingly) unflappable 
in any situation.
That outfit, however, was a a huge mistake!

Erin always does a great job,
particularly when things get a little awkward.
She's very good at just "owning" the moment
