Who is Nicole Scherzinger?

Nicole Scherzinger brings F1 and Dancing With The Stars chic to X Factor —

[Jun. 9]

With a recently released solo album, being the long time lead singer for the Pussycat Dolls, Mirror Ball Trophy winner of the 2010 television season of Dancing With the Stars, songwriter, and occasional actress Nicole Scherzinger can now add title of Judge for the 2011 television season of X Factor (USA) to her impressive resume. Following weeks of rumors, Fox FREMANTLEMEDIA NORTH AMERICA AND SYCO TV made its official announcement June 6 that Scherzinger will indeed join former American Idol judge Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Amazingly enough, this Pussycat caught wind of the change in her position from host to judge while reading her daily SUN. Should be a piece of cake for this veteran considering Nicole Scherzinger has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor UK back in 2010, right? Let’s hope so, because rumors swirling on June 7 and 8 were that Cheryl Cole got fired in her first weeks for having thin skin and a weak constitution (physically and emotionally). Battling clinical depression and a mean case of the blues, Cheryl Cole allegedly did not get along with perky Nicole Scherzinger. Adding the age old odd-man-out triangle scenario between Cole, Scherzinger, and fellow judge Paula Abdul, Nicole was moves from role of host to judge while Cheryl Cole was kicked off.

DWTS 2011 Results: Chelsea Kane lost despite Disney Princess fan support

DWTS 2011 Results SHOCKER!

Chelsea Kane lost Dancing With The Stars even with Disney fan support?

[May 24 — Twitter TV Audience Crowd Reaction Quotes]

In a huge upset, Disney Princess Chelsea Kane and partner Mark Ballas wound up in third place on the 2011 season of Dancing with the Stars [DWTS Season 12]. The pair had an incredible run and were favored to win the competition, though Hines Ward and Kirstie Alley both were incredible competition. Ballas and Kane, being one of the youngest pairs of competitors on the dance floor all season, had some of the most energetic and acrobatic routines. From their jive, which Len Goodman criticized as not having enough jive quality, to their samba, with Chelsea Kane sporting an orange spangled ensemble, Team Kanenball took youth and energy to the floor all night long. That they lost to Hines Ward and Kirstie Alley is surprising, since they chose for their final dance the Harry Potter Waltz for a second time, which easily was one of their signature dances during the competition. They got all tens from the judges, a perfect score, but the voting audience was not as confident. Ultimately, Hines Ward and partner Kym Johnson won the competition, with Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy coming in second place. All three pairs of competitors earned perfect scores from the judges, but the audience hearts and minds went to Hines and Kym.

DWTS 2011: Kirstie Alley too big to fail on Dancing With The Stars?

DWTS 2011 Finals!

Kirstie Alley too big to fail on Dancing With The Stars or as Celebrity Senior?

[May 24]

Celebrity Senior Kirstie Alley has made a huge hit on Dancing with the Stars this season as an audience favorite, and she’s proud to admit it. Not only has the star celeb lost weight and become more fit, but she generally is feeling positive about herself. Some would say that the actress and former Cheers star celeb is too big to fail. And by big, we mean talented, not her dress size. At age 60, Kirstie Alley is by far the oldest of the competitors on the dance floor, and she still is keeping up with the younger crowd.

In fact, keeping up with the younger crowd was one of the challenges in the freestyle competition for the celebrity senior. Kirstie Alley and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy went all out for the freestyle competition, with Kirstie starting off the routine, surprising the crowd by tearing out of a baggish looking dress into a black leotard and turning a cartwheel. The celebrity senior turned heads. Carrie Ann remarked after the routine: “That dance embodies what you have become – as a poster child for life as it should be lived at 60 years old,” according to USA Today.

Even Bruno and Len gave the star celeb credit for the routine. Bruno remarked that Kirstie Alley seemed to have gone all out, with lifts and gymnastics that she never would have attempted when she started the season. Len, typically the most critical of the bunch, said that she took risks, and he was impressed with the risks she took. In spite of being an audience favorite, the pair scored all nines, leaving them two points behind their competitors by the end of the night.

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas Samba sizzling hot?

[May 23]

Shoulda had a speed limit…” was the assessment of the sizzling hot Samba by Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas said Tom Bercheron. As the first dance number to kick off finals week on DWTS 2011, the competition bar standard was set high and the performers did not disappoint. Watch the video link of the May 23rd performance and you will surely agree that fast and hot was right. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba gave Chelsea Kane a private dance lesson about how to be feminine and sexy. Fortunately, it did not include pole dancing or lap dancing or the Disney Princess act simply would not have been as scintillating right.

Scores for the first dance of the final round of DWTS 2011 were nearly perfect. Carrie Ann gave the celebrity couple a 10, Len gave his typical buzz kill score of 9, and lively Bruno proudly posted a 10.

DWTS 2011: Hines and Kym make finals, plan half time show for freestyle dance?

DWTS 2011!

Hines and Kym going to the finals to dance freestyle half time show?

[May 17]

It is OFFICIAL. Hines Ward and Kym Johnson are going to the finals to compete in the freestyle round. The celebrity couple was NOT voted off. After a double perfect score on Monday May 16th (following Kym Johnson’s neck injury on Friday the 13th), the Dancing With The Stars audience was really wowed. Will Hines Ward be able to beat Chelsea Kane to win the Mirror Ball Trophy? The NFL player certainly hopes so. The only real obstacle to him defeating her at this stage of the game is that the audience demographic voting for her is much younger and more apt to use their cel phones to vote. However, because he is a NFL football player and her fans are likely to be up past their bedtime to watch the show, coming into the finals round the voting could help sway the judges either way to vote.

During the elimination round at semi finals, show host Tom Bergeron asked Hines Ward and Kym Johnson to share secrets about what they would dance to in their freestyle if they were kept on to dance in the finals by the American votes. Hines Ward revealed that after all the football games he had played over the years, he had never actually seen the halftime shows. To that end, the green celebrity who has come so far off the football field on the dance floor says he wants to BE the show.

Tom Bergeron laughed and said he never really thought about the fact that the players at football games miss all those live performance half time shows and gave a hearty chuckle and wished Hines and Kym well.

The celebrity couple Hines and Kym were the first ones told they were safe. The dance pair received two perfect scores for the Argentine Tango and the salsa performed last night’s week nine performance, but lost the instant dance round.
