Celebrity Scandal: DWTS football champ Hines Ward protesting DUI arrest?

Former NFL star and winner of last season’s Dancing with the Stars, Hines Ward, was arrested at 3:41 a.m. on a drunk driving charge in DeKalb County, Georgia, just outside Atlanta, according to the LA Times. The former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was a favorite on DWTS with professional dancing partner Kym Johnson. He was released on $1,300 bond.

This is not the first trouble Hines has had with police. While filming for DWTS, Hines Ward was stopped by LAPD at a gas station. The female driver of the vehicle was ordered out of her car and made to lie face down on the pavement. Hines also was questioned during the incident. But it turned out the police were responding to an outdated report that listed the car as stolen. Reportedly, Hines was cooperative and said the police were just doing their jobs. Keep reading…

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.

Dancing With The Stars: Hines Ward a perfect 10 gentleman who loves his mama?

Hines Ward earns double perfect 10 scored with injured partner Kym Johnson?

[May 16]

Bo Derek perfect 10 he is not, but when it comes to sexy moves on the dance floor Hines Ward is givin’ it all the perfect 10 hip action he’s got. Hines and Kym were excited to get to the semi-finals, but their vigorous pace led to a serious injury in dance practice. Do or die from here on out was his motto until he nearly killed her. Coming out to dance the Argentine Tango, the crowd was on pins and needles. Could Kym Johnson still dance? More importantly could Hines Ward psychologically recover from falling on his dance partner and nearly breaking her neck on Friday the 13th of May in a freak accident?

Host Tom Bergeron was elated to see her on the dance floor and said, “That was a long way from Friday, my friends…”

Len loved it — so did everyone else. He called Kym a floosey and said the dance looked like something from the Karma Sutra.

Bruno loves the dominance theme than emerged in the dance. He said it was like group sex.

Carrie Ann was in tears — so worried about Kym Johnson. He was so pleased with his performance that she brought Hines to tears.

The score? A perfect 10 for the pair.

Amazing star celebs, for sure.

Will their Argentine Tango score be enough to get them from the semi-finals to the finals as crowd favorites?

We certainly hop so, as the NFL football player deserves to score a touchdown and maybe even beat Disney Princess Chelsea Kane to take the Mirror Ball Trophy home.

That’s why his SECOND perfect 30 score was such good news, as it nearly guaranteed him a place in the finals.

DWTS 2011: Hines Ward partner Kym Johnson seriously hurt in dance fall?

Dancing With The Stars 2011!

Hines Ward partner Kym Johnson seriously hurt in dance fall?

[May 16]

TMZ was one of the first websites to report Kym Johnson — the dance pro the producers of DWTS 2011 paired up with Pittsburgh Steelers football player Hines Ward. According to the site, Kym Johnson, “took a nasty spill while rehearsing with the NFLer for an upcoming show.” The star celebs still had practice scheduled the following day(s), and Kym and Hines both showed up on schedule Sunday May 16th. The only problem? Kym Johnson was wearing a huge neck brace! According to her rep (who spoke to TMZ anticipating the rumor mills picking up the story of the dancing accident and subsequent hospitalization of the dance pro), Johnson was taken to a nearby Los Angeles area hospital for treatment “for precautionary measures to assure she is OK.” But what will an injury at this stage fo the game do to the celebrity couple as far as performance ability? Many celebrity gossip sites and comment rumor mills are saying that Hines and Kym might just be out of the game.

The reason why Kym Johnson having a new injury is a game changer is not because she might not be able to dance or teach or do choreography full bore. It is because of the psychological effects on Hines Ward.

DWTS Trivia: Hines Ward nabbed and cuffed at gunpoint by LAPD?

DWTS Trivia!

Hines Ward nabbed and cuffed at gunpoint by LAPD a true rumor?

[May 7]

Hines Ward, former NFL star and one of the top contenders on the 2011 season of Dancing with the Stars was nabbed by cops while filling up at a gas station in Studio City, CA, according to TMZ. Cops had their guns drawn as they approached the vehicle being driven by a female, who was ordered out of the car and made to lie face down on the pavement.

Hines Ward then was ordered out of the car. Ward was cooperative, say police, and, following questioning, learned that the car had been reported stolen. The cops continued their search, guns still drawn, as they investigated the passenger side, only to discover no one else was in the car, before they put their weapons away. It all turned out to be a mistake, though. The cops apparently had an outdated report of a stolen vehicle that matched the description of the car driven by the female driver. Both Ward and the female driver were released without further incident.

Given the notoriety of some of LAPD’s officers, especially with the history of the LA riots and the Rodney King incident, is Hines Ward upset about the incident? No, he says. “The police were just doing their job. Apologies were made, and it’s now in the past. Moving forward,” he said. What a classy guy. No wonder he’s doing so well on Dancing with the Stars this season.

Star celeb Hines Ward is paired with dancing pro Kym Johnson on Dancing with the Stars. Both dancers have been doing exceptionally well this season, getting consistently high marks from the judges.
