Dancing With The Stars never seems to disappoint when it comes to the ballroom drama. Whether it’s a wardrobe malfunction, a feud between the pro and their celebrity partner or a quibble with the judge’s scoring – you can count on the show to bring the controversy. Let’s be honest — isn’t that why we all watch?

Now, the ABC network is said to be considering an all star season of the hit dancing competition. Would you watch?

Former Dancing contestant and host of Extra Mario Lopez spilled the beans about the possibility of an all star version of the show. Mario was chatting with Kelly Ripa about this week’s elimination of legendary singer Gladys Knight and her pro dance partner Tristan MacManus, when he offered, “I thought she was doing amazing.”

Then, he said, “You know what Kelly? They’re doing a Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars this next season. They called me to do it.”

ABC has yet to make anything official as far as a season dedicated to the show’s stars, but Brooke Burke-Charvet is down for it if it becomes a reality. She said, “I haven’t danced ballroom since I left…I would love to. And being on the show, it just makes me want to dance again.”

Tonight is an all new performance episode of ABC’s dancing extravaganza, Dancing With The Stars! As we’ve already told you, tonight’s episode is a mixed bag of dances as the stars and their professional partners try to dance their way into the top of the leaderboard. Last week, we said goodbye to Martina Navratilova and her professional dance partner Tony Dovolani. In case you’ve missed the elimination, you can read our recap here.

Tonight’s theme is The Most Memorable Year of My Life and will feature the celebrities and their partners doing a dance style of their choosing using a meaningful dance. So far, our predictions are accurate for the season, so we will have to sit back and see if Jack is able to pull this one out of his hat.

As always, we will be covering the show live tonight at 8PM EST as it airs with the only coverage that you’ll need. Keep it tuned right here to Earsucker for all of the up-to-the-minute details. Trust us, you won’t wanna miss this!

All that Rick knows about his love for Kate is about to come crashing down on him as he learns that Kate LIED! Tonight is an all new episode of the ABC hit drama Castle, titled, 47 Seconds. In case you’ve missed last week’s episode of the show, you can read our full recap here.

At the end of the third season, Kate gets shot and Rick confesses to her that he loves her. In the fourth season’s premiere episode, she tells him that she doesn’t remember anything about the shooting. To him that means that she did not hear his profession of love for her.

Tonight, in capturing a suspected bomber, Kate grills the guy in the interrogation room. Little does she know, but Rick is listening in. The suspected bomber claims he doesn’t know why he left the bomb there. She tells him that he doesn’t get to use that as an excuse — because she was shot in the chest and she remembers every last second.

Will Rick be so upset with her remembering and then lying to him about it? Or will he realize that she just wasn’t ready for a relationship with him just yet? Or — she could always try and take the easy way out and say that she was only pushing the witness by any means necessary.

All of our questions and more will be answered when Castle airs on ABC tonight at 10PM EST! Stay tuned for our live recap of the show!

As you may already know, tonight’s episode of Castle is titled Once Upon A Crime. We’ve gotten our hands on the first ten minutes of tonight’s show, so we wanted to share that with our fellow Castle fans!

Mini-recap (for those without video access or at work):

The show opens with Little Red Riding Hood running through Central Park. She trips and falls and becomes prey for whoever killed her. Just then, the show cuts to Martha dictating a play to Marcus in Rick’s office. She’s exaggerating the details of Rick’s birth, among other things. Rick comes in telling them that she’s wildly exaggerating the details. He says that he usually he writes there and he wants them to vacate the area so that he can write some more.

Cut to the crime scene where Rick is telling Kate that he feels his whole life is being invaded. Lanie is already inspecting the body of Little Red Riding Hood, who they learn is actually named Amy Morgan. Kate asks why she was wearing the Red costume, to which Rick offers that she might’ve been on her way to grandma’s house.

Rick and Kate talk to the victim’s sister Leslie, who questions if Amy was attacked by a wild animal. Leslie and her boyfriend tell Kate and Rick that she works a ton of hours as a lawyer for Samson Briggs. Amy is single, lives alone and has a penchant for a fashionable wardrobe. So the killer must have brought the costume — because it didn’t belong to her. Leslie said that she usually spoke to her sister daily, but hadn’t heard from her all week.

Later, Rick brings Kate coffee and speculates that she was a part of some costume wearing subculture — in order to let off steam from her busy job. He says that there are people who get all dressed up and act out the parts of a fairytale and perhaps that’s what Amy was up to when things went tragically wrong. Kate calls that a surprisingly reasonable and grounded theory.

Javier comes in and tells the duo that Amy withdrew $50,605.00 from her savings in cash four days ago. What’s worse is that he didn’t find the money in her apartment and can’t tie it to any purchases. Javier leaves to check with Amy’s bank about the money and Kate gets a message from Lanie.

Lanie has found a wolf’s hair in a wound on Amy’s body. Lanie informs them that the marks on Amy’s body were made by only one claw. The killer wanted them to think it was a wolf that killed her to throw them off. Lanie tells them that she found two fresh needle marks on the victim’s back. The victim wasn’t sexually assaulted, but toxicology reports turned up Ketamine and Oxycodone in her system. Lanie says that the killer sedated the victim with the Ketamine, dressed her in the costume and when the Ketamine wore off, he caught her and dosed her with the Oxycodone. They feel that the killer was someone Amy knew and trusted.

Kevin tells the duo that the victim’s co-workers said that Amy wasn’t herself lately. She was acting agitated and even missed a mandatory meeting last Friday. Kate tells him to check into her emails to see what was going on, since that was the same time she quit calling her sister.

Just then, they get interrupted by Javier, who tells Kate that there’s something she needs to see. The show cuts to Rick and Kate approaching another victim. This one is dressed up like Snow White — and she has an apple in her hands!

VIDEO SPOILER:

Stay tuned for our recap to find out what happens next!

We’re recapping tonight’s episode of Castle, titled Heartbreak Hotel tonight, as it airs, LIVE! If you’ve missed last week’s show, get up to date with our recap.

On tonight’s show, Castle joins Detectives Ryan and Esposito as they venture off to Atlantic City to investigate the murder of a casino owner. This also gives the guys an opportunity to give Detective Ryan an impromptu bachelor party.

Richard Burgi guest stars as Charlie Turner as the slick business partner of the victim.

The show opens with Rick dressed up as Elvis, being dragged away to a bad guy’s office. Cut to 16 hours earlier and Rick and Alexis are talking about her breakup with Ashley.

Rick and Kate arrive at the scene of the crime. The victim is Sam Siegel, the co-owner of the Sapphire. Kate tells them to call the Sapphire and get some info on the victim. Rick says that Atlantic City is the perfect place for a bachelor party. Ryan suggests a camping trip, but Esposito says NO, and that he’s in charge of it.

Ryan says that the GPS goes to his ex-wife’s place. They interrogate her and she said that they don’t get along anymore. She tells them that Sam told her he was in trouble and that he wanted her to sign over her share of a building. He told her that his life depended on it. He offered her $1.5 million for the building, which is the full price. She said she was in her apartment all night — her doorman confirms her alibi.

Captain Gates tell the guys to put out an APB on Ralph Marino and tells them to go to Atlantic City. Kate said for him to go with her, but Gates says that Castle is with the guys. She wants to see what Kate can do without him. Castle declares it an impromptu bachelor party while on a case. (continue reading…)

Tonight is an all new episode of the hit show Castle! Tonight’s episode is titled, Heartbreak Hotel and airs on ABC at 10 PM EST. If you’ve missed last week’s episode, titled Cops & Robbers, you can check out our recap here.

The official synopsis:

During the investigation of the murder of an Atlantic City casino owner at an abandoned warehouse, strong leads emerge for the team in both New York and Atlantic City. As Beckett and Capt. Gates work the New York leads together, Castle naturally chooses to join the detectives for the road trip to “America’s Playground,” hoping to help solve the case while throwing an impromptu bachelor party for Ryan.

PREVIEW VIDEO:

Do you think Rick and Kate are growing closer and closer with each episode? I really loved how they looked at each other when she ran into the bank to rescue Rick and his mother. That was the look of relief and love, wasn’t it?

Are you a Castle fan? We are! Stay tuned as we provide the best coverage of the show around, LIVE!

It’s an all new episode of Castle next week as Rick and Kate are confronted with a murderer who dresses up like a super hero!

From ABC’s official synopsis:

When an ex-con is mysteriously slain in an alley, Castle and Beckett believe a vigilante is behind the murder. But efforts to identify their suspect are thwarted when they discover that he roams the city in a Superhero costume — and may indeed be a Superhero. Can they capture and unmask the killer before he strikes again?

Read our official season premiere recap HERE. The second episode airs on Monday, September 26, 2011 at 10:00PM EST.

Check out the preview for the upcoming episode:

We’re still left wondering why Kate lied to Rick about remembering what happened on the day of the shooting? Did you also notice the cameo by Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek: TNG)?

Will Rick be able to keep Kate off of her own case long enough to keep her alive? Why did she ignore him for three months when she knew how he felt about her? Why don’t they just get together already?

What do you think? Are you excited for the second episode? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

These are words that I never thought I would utter. Yes, for once in my life, I have to say that I agree with Kim Kardashian. Who knew this day would ever come?? Surely, I didn’t. How should I celebrate bask in my depression?

Surely you’ve heard the news that One Life To Live and All My Children have been sent to soap opera heaven, but Kim said the best possible explanation for their demise.

In a new interview with PopEater, the big butted Kardashian sister said, “Well, Kourtney was just recently on ['One Life to Live'], so I think she killed the entire 30-year brand.”

And the Nobel Prize goes to Kim Kardashian. Umm, no…but she could quite possibly be right.

Chris Brown got mad at Good Morning America and busted a window after his recent interview. The good news for him is that it’s almost as if it never happened, except for the media outrage. The cops weren’t called, his probation wasn’t violated and he STILL has fans. The world works in scary ways, I tell you.

Still, he breaks a window and ABC is still begging him to come on Dancing With The Stars and perform in support of his new album.

He went on BET yesterday and apologized for the whole thing. Because, he’s a changed man, you know.

He said, “First of all, I just wanna apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed with the way I acted. A lot of people don’t know what went down, and obviously when I do shows or when I do interviews, we always send out a talking point sheet. As the interview proceeded, it was kinda thrown off. I was thrown off by it. I felt like they told us this just so they could get us on the show so they can exploit me. So I took it very, very hard and I really kinda kept my composure throughout the whole interview, although you can see me upset, I kept my composure, I did my performance.”

You know why he did his performance, though? It’s because it PROMOTES HIM. Duh.

He went on to say, “And when I got back I just let off steam. I didn’t physically hurt anyone, I didn’t try to hurt anyone, I just wanted to release the anger that I had inside me because I felt that I worked so hard for this music and I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from me. So yes, I got very emotional, and I wanna apologize for acting like that.”

So a question for Chris Brown’s fans: Aren’t you sick and tired of making up excuses for this douchebag?

After Chris Brown had an epic fit in his dressing room after his Good Morning America interview, he reportedly smashed the window! GMA staffers called in the window repair crew, but not before they called the police!

We were curious how this would play out, considering that he’s on probation for the Rihanna beating incident. TMZ has more:

TMZ obtained audio near the dressing room where Chris allegedly took a chair and smashed a window, sending shards of glass onto 43rd Street. During the conversation between the staffer and a glass repairman, the staffer says “I have a police officer coming just to take a look at it before we do any work.”

Despite the conversation, NYPD sources tell us … none of their officers were dispatched to the scene.

If Chris did indeed smash the window, it probably constitutes at least 2 crimes — vandalism and assault on the passersby below. As a result, the judge in the Rihanna battery case could revoke Chris’ probation and, worst case scenario, he could end up in prison.

Do you think anything is going to come from this??? Let us know in the comments!

ABC has said that the network has received over 1,500 calls in complaint regarding Adam Lambert’s performance from the American Music Awards last night.

The performance (view here) was seen as sexually themed with an S&M twist. Online commenters also complained at the show’s provocative nature. ABC said that the response was “moderate”, but Adam said that he wanted to break down the double standard between male and female performers.

It’s a shame that this is 2009 and people are still whining about TV performances. Get it together, guys. This isn’t the 1950′s and people need to be more accepting. You can’t tell me that you had your children watching this poor man’s Grammys….not and have me believe it anyways.
