Sharna Burgess to Pull out of DWTS’ Winter Tour???

DWTS Pro, Sharna,

Heads Home Down Under

To be with Family

DWTS’ highly anticipated and latest cross country venture has officially hit the road once more in an all-new, exciting show, Dancing With The Stars: Live – Dance All Night Tour!

Joining the Tour is none other than American Hero and Season 21’s 3rd Place Finalist, Alek Skarlatos, as well as Alek’s fellow season Cast Member, Internet Sensation, Hayes Grier!

Of course, many of the show’s Beloved Ballroom Professionals will performing as well, including Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Emma Slater, Artem Chigvintsev, Keo Motsepe, Lindsay Arnold, and Peta Murgatroyd, along with DWTS Troupe Members, Alan Bersten, Jenna Johnson, and Brittany Cherry!

Also set to join in on the dancing fun is DWTS Pro and Season 21’s First Runner-up (With Backstreet Boys member, Nick Carter), Sharna Burgess, making her official Touring debut!

“… I want to meet these people that love our show so much and make it possible for me to do what I love,” revealed Sharna on glamour.com when asked why she had decided to be a part of the Tour. “This show wouldn’t exist without our fans,” she observed, “and I love them so much for that.”

“… I wanted people to get know more of who I am,” she added. “… I’m not just this vixen redhead who can dance really sexy and snap her fingers and flip her hair [sic]. I really am that nurturing woman that you see me be with my partners. I want you to smile …”

It seems, however, despite her obvious enthusiasm to be a part of DWTS’ “traveling Ballroom”, Burgess has, instead, temporarily bowed out of the Tour, choosing rather to return home to Australia to be with her family as they battle some unfortunate “health issues”, according to puredwts.com.

“… I’m in Australia right now, for some really important family things,” the 30-year-old Dancer recently disclosed, via Instagram; “but it does mean that I’m going to miss the first couple of shows on the tour.”

“It makes me really sad that I’m not gonna be there for some of the cities,” she continued emphatically; “but I promise you, you won’t miss me! The show is phenomenal! My voice is actually still in the show, so you get just a little bit of me!”

Still, it seems, in the midst of all her personal tragedy the dedicated Pro remains as determined as ever to be there for her Fans as well as her Family, as she closed her announcement with one last assurance, “I am incredibly excited to come back to you guys and I can’t wait to dance and be on tour; but, thank you so much for understanding! This has been really, really important for me to come home. I love you all [and] I’ll see you soon!”

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”!

Personally, I think that the Whip and the Nae Nae have seen some better days, and right off, Nick strikes me as being a "Middle of the Pack" dancer, but one can never be sure about these things and who knows? This Backstreet Boy may yet surprise us! ... I cannot wait for the Premiere
