Dancing With The Stars 2012: Donald and Peta jive with Karina Smirnoff hot
Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd advanced to the semi-finals of the 2012 season of Dancing With The Stars on May 8th. How did the celebrity couple get there? By dancing their darling little tushies off, that’s how. The dance pro might be training a star for the first time, but the football player from the Green Bay Packers is such a devoted athlete and natural talent that she has been able to teach him professional level dance moves in no time at all. The celebrity judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba loved the first dance but the second — a three person jive with Karina Smirnoff — won their hearts. Keep reading…

Dancing With The Stars 2012: Fangs came out between Maria and Derek
Dancing With The Stars 2012 has been one of the best seasons ever. The episode that aired on April 30th gave one couple the first perfect ten score on the show. The team dances were both spectacular.

Here’s a quick run down of the dances of the night and how each of the celebrities did with their professional dance partners. Entering the week, there were just a few brave couples left: Katherine and Mark, Melissa and Maks, William and Cheryl, Roshon and Chelsie, Donald and Peta, and Maria and Derek. How did they score? Here’s the recap. Keep reading…
Celebrity Apprentice 2012: Penn Jillette voted off, Clay Aiken still on?
Clay Aiken lost the Celebrity Apprentice 2012 challenge as a team manager but he was not fired. Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller got the axe instead. Donald Trump fired him (alas). Right now, the person who looks like the best fit to become the next Celebrity Apprentice hire is Arsenio Hall — but only because Clay Aiken seems to struggle with being a project manager and the former talk show host doesn’t. Teresa Giudice is simply not decisive enough to be the ultimate winner, Lisa Lampanelli is not personable or professional in the way she treats other people, and Dayana Mendoza is naturally handicapped by her appearance.

American Idol 2012: Did Lady Gaga ‘Bad Romance’ end Colton Dixon?
When the bottom two were Hollie Cavanagh and Colton Dixon, viewers and the judges were shocked to hear that he — not she — had been voted off American Idol 2012 by America. Dixon apologized to the judges, said he would pay attention to their criticisms when he’s making an album, and kept his head up defiantly throughout the elimination process. But really, the reason American might have voted him off was because Colton Dixon sang a Lady Gaga tune without thanking her on stage afterwards. Since he dissed judges Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson when they gave constructive criticism, the elimination was no shock. Keep reading…
