The fourteenth season of Dancing With The Stars is right around the corner! The official casting announcement will be made on February 28, 2012, but we have got a list of folks who have already been asked to join the dancing competition. Who do you want to see on the list?

None of the celebrities or quasi-celebrities (in Perez Hilton’s case) have confirmed their appearance on the show, but here’s a list of those who have been offered a spot on the show:

Kylie & Kendall Jenner – Bruce and Kris Jenner’s teenage daughters. Could you imagine either one of them sexy dancing with Mark or Maks? Us neither.

Taylor Armstrong – Star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Her husband killed himself and now you will, too, if those gigantic lips grace the screen during primetime. Too soon?

Perez Hilton – Celebrity gossip blogger. Wanna-be celebrity. If they bring this loud mouth onto the show, we will NOT watch. EVER.

Regis Philbin – Former morning TV host. Everybody loves Reeg. He would be the token old dude. Not necessarily a bad casting decision.

Tim Tebow – Denver Broncos quarterback. We would like to see him on the show, only because he was said to have dissed Kim Kardashian. We can appreciate that.

Sherri Shepherd – ABC talk show host. Figures. Not exactly a strong personality.

Who do you think they should get to do the show this season? Who don’t you want to see take the stage to dance for the mirror ball trophy? Let us know in the comments.

Last night on the performance episode of Dancing With The Stars, Rob Kardashian, J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake brought it with their dances. Each proved why they were in the top three in the competition. You can view all of the performance videos at this link and read our recap here. Tonight, only one will emerge as the winner of the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy!

Before the show, we conducted a poll to ask fans who should walk away with the show’s prize. Unsurprisingly, 53% said that J.R. should win, while 30% voted that Rob would win and the remaining 17% thought that Ricki would win the competition.

Tonight, the top three will perform their favorite dances from the season. Rob and Cheryl will perform their Foxtrot to Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra. Ricki and Derek will perform their favorite dance which was their Psycho Tango. J.R. and Karina will do their first Jive to Jump, Jive And Wail by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. We’ll be covering all of the performance videos at this handy link, so check them out after the show starts!

It’s a close competition this season and it’s hard to say who will win. So stay tuned, as we’ll be recapping the Grand Finale tonight — Live. Also, performing on tonight’s show is Lady Antebellum!

Can Rob pull it out of his hat and win it? Perhaps. But his sister Kim has said that she’s super proud of her brother. She came out in support of him on last night’s show.

IT’S GO TIME — ARE YOU EXCITED?

Lady Antebellum is kicking off the show with their performance from We Own The Night.

Round Scores:

Ricki & Derek – Psycho Tango – Scores: 30 (1st place)
Rob & Cheryl – Foxtrot – Scores: 26 (3rd place)
J.R. & Karina – Jive – Scores: 28 (2nd place)

FIRST RESULTS:

Ricki and Derek are in third place! That means that Rob and J.R. will be competing in one final dance for the Trophy! Stay tuned, it’s getting good!

J.R. is dancing his Instant Samba first, with Rob going second. They are dancing to Shake Your Bon Bon by Ricky Martin.

As always, they are taking a trip down memory lane with all of the stars and their pro dancers from this season.

Carson Kressley’s Vogue dance was cute, but we’re digging David Arquette’s performance. It’s unfortunate that he was booted off of the competition way before his time. He just tried to run off with the Mirror Ball Trophy….too funny!

J.R. and Karina danced first and it was great! Rob and Cheryl picked right up where they left off and did pretty nicely, as well.

J.R. and Karina: Scores: 10-10-10 = 30/30
Rob and Cheryl: Scores: 10-10-10 = 30/30

Who won the thirteenth season of Dancing With The Stars???? J.R. MARTINEZ & KARINA SMIRNOFF!

Also — stay tuned, as we will be providing our handy recap as the show airs, tonight at 8PM EST on ABC!

Update: We’re doing our DWTS performance recap at this link!

UPDATE: We’re covering the grand finale — find out who won the Mirror Ball Trophy!

It’s getting down to the wire on Dancing With The Stars! As of Monday night’s performances, we are down to the final four — but after tonight, there will only be three! It’s on to the Finals, so which dancers have what it takes to win the Mirror Ball trophy? It’s anyone’s game!

If you’ve missed last night’s show, you can read our official recap here.

Here’s a mini-cap of who did what on last night’s show, along with links to the videos of their performances:

Hope Solo & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – Paso Doble / Argentine Tango – Points: 49
J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff – Paso Doble / Argentine Tango – Points: 56
Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke – Samba / Argentine Tango – Points: 65
Ricki Lake & Derek Hough – Samba / Argentine Tango – Points: 67

We mostly felt sorry for J.R. because he was dancing with an injury and you could really tell that he was in some serious pain. But — he’s still a fabulous dancer — and a true inspiration.

The fact that Hope Solo started running her mouth to Carrie Ann Inaba about how Maksim Chmerkovskiy was smiling — might just have signed her exit slip. My guess is that viewers don’t exactly like people bad-mouthing the judges. Hope has lasted so long because of Maks, in my humble opinion.

We’ve predicted that the contestants going to the finals would be Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez and Rob Kardashian — but we could be surprised. We’ll have to watch and see!

Rob and Cheryl are in the finals! Click to read the rest — SPOILER ALERT! (continue reading…)

It’s the Semi-Finals! We’re recapping the show LIVE here, so keep checking back for our numerous updates!

Dancing the Paso Doble on tonight’s performance episode of Dancing With The Stars is soccer star Hope Solo and her professional dance partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

They are dancing to Miley Cyrus’ song, Can’t Be Tamed! Good song choice!

Does Hope have a place in the Finals??? She’s obviously in pain here and had to stop during the dance. Can they pull through with some decent scores? Or will they be eliminated?

WATCH:

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 7
Len: 7
Bruno: 7

Total: 21/30

CALL IN TO VOTE: 1-800-868-3408

Was this your favorite dance of the evening? Do you think Hope Solo has what it takes to win the coveted mirror ball trophy? Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think!

Unsurprisingly, J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner Karina Smirnoff gained the top of the leaderboard last night with the first perfect scores of the season!

Just as unsurprising, was Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus’ fall to the bottom, with the lowest combined scores of the night. We recapped the performance episode here, in case you’ve missed it. Also, earlier tonight, we’ve recapped the elimination results.

After it was all said and done, it came down to Rob Kardashian and Nancy Grace that were in the bottom two. But, the Semi-Finals spot was given to Rob and Nancy was sent on her way.

Was it her time to go? Or did she deserve to be in the Semi-Finals?

Did the right couple go home on tonight’s show?

TAKE OUR POLL:

Are you surprised? We were more surprised that she’s lasted this long! Tell us what you think — in the comments.

You’ve seen the double dance performances from last night’s performance episode of Dancing With The Stars and you’ve heard the judge’s commentary. After tonight’s elimination, the competition goes into the Semi-Finals with the final four! So, who will take home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy? It’s anyone’s guess!

In case you’ve missed last night’s show, you can read our recap here. Here’s also a brief run-down on who did what on the dance floor:

Rob Kardashian – Quickstep: 27/30 – Instant Jive: 24/30 — Total: 51/60
Hope Solo – Quickstep: 27/30 – Instant Jive: 25/30 — Total: 52/60
Ricki Lake – Waltz: 28/30 – Instant Jive: 24/30 — Total: 52/60
Nancy Grace – Tango: 24/30 – Instant Jive: 20/30 — Total: 44/60
J.R. Martinez – Waltz: 30/30 – Instant Jive: 30/30 — Total 60/60

We’ll go on record and say that we’re pretty sure that J.R. will be back next week…right along with Ricki Lake. So, do you think Nancy Grace will finally get the boot on tonight’s show?

Stay tuned, we’ll be providing the only coverage you’ll need of the show at 9PM EST tonight! Until then, tell us who you’re rooting for! We’ve got our money on J.R., Ricki and possibly Rob in the Finals. Thoughts?

It’s double dance night on week eight of Dancing With The Stars and we’re getting down to the race to the Finals. So far, we’re recapping the live show here and also showing the individual dances. Of course, part two of tonight’s show consists of the Instant Jive dances!

DWTS ELIMINATION RESULTS HERE

Even thought there may appear to be some drama between professional dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Derek Hough on Dancing With The Stars, Derek says that’s not true.

On Monday’s show, it showed Derek helping Maks’ partner, Hope Solo, after Maks got frustrated. The rumors surfaced that they were in the middle of a professional squabble.

In a new interview, she said, “Our relationship is pretty similar to how it’s always been. We’ve known each other for many, many years. This is a television show and I understand that people want to see drama where there’s not.”

He went on to reveal, “We were out last night with each other and had a good time. Hate to disappoint.”

He added, “I’m just a ‘get on with it’ type of person. I don’t like taking breaks.”

Dancing With The Stars professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy has broken his toe!

He has already got into some trouble after mouthing off at the show’s head judge, Len Goodman. Now it appears that he has something else to contend with — now that he has hurt himself.

He tweeted, “One thing that could make this Halloween weekend better—-NOT having a broken toe! Got @TeddyV & @BigMervLA helping out!”

Let’s hope that his toe heals quickly. Otherwise his partner, Hope Solo, will have to take on a new dance partner for tomorrow night’s show. If she has to dance with anyone else, who do you think it should be? How about Maks’ brother, Val?

What do you think?

Get well soon Maks!
