Dancing With the Stars Elimination Shocker: Maks Apologizes (and Someone Gets Cut)
Tensions were high heading into the ballroom tonight on Dancing With the Stars.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy lashed out at the judges for what he felt was an unfair critiquing system after Len Goodman called Hope Solo's rumba her worst dance yet. Chaz Bono left the floor demoralized after Bruno Tonioli compared him to a cute fuzzy penguin—one too many comparisons to a round little animal, Chaz felt.
And wouldn't you know, both Hope and Chaz ended up in jeopardy, thereby cranking up the drama from the previous evening and making us all wonder if Chaz's lack of technique was finally going to send him home on the same night he spoke up. Or would Maks, if Hope was eliminated, once again imply that this season would be his last?

DWTS Lead Singer Beverly Staunton Dishes on Chaz Bono, Same-Sex Swingin' and More!

One thing's for sure, Dancing With the Stars knows how to stir up drama on the boob tube.
And we caught up with a gal who's been there for it all—lead singer Beverly Staunton. She's sung on the hit show throughout each of its twelve seasons, and she just released her own country-pop album. Very real stuff.
So, we asked Bev to get real on what Chaz Bono's really like, and would the sex of Carson Kressley's dancing partner have made a difference on his recent boot?

Kirstie Alley's "New" Man Definitely Not a Romance (What a Bummer!)

Kirstie Alley's "cougar maximus" romance rumors have officially been cleared up!
We've got the truth about what's really going on between the former Dancer With the Stars contestant and her much younger mystery man, Serge Onik, straight from the guy who introduced them.
Dancing With the Stars Elimination: Did Another Promising Dancer Get Picked Off?
Kelly Clarkson on Dancing With the Stars next season?
It probably won't happen, but Tom Bergeron was certainly persuasive as he assured tonight's first musical guest that, even though she can't dance like the pros now, "We'll teach you."
But before we can bang the drum for Kelly, there are eight celebs to knock off before a mirror-ball trophy winner can be declared this season. Last night, J.R. Martinez was not surprisingly the best of the bunch, but former front-runner Ricki Lake dropped to the middle of the pack.
Considering last week's elimination shocker, who knew what to expect Tuesday?!
Dancing With the Stars' First Elimination: Are You Surprised?!
Somebody always has to go first.
No one wants the distinction of being the first celebrity booted from Dancing With the Stars, but time after time, someone takes the hit, never to be heard from again until the finale.
And this year the ax is swinging even earlier, with ABC opting to get right to business instead of have two performance nights before the first elimination.
Eight points (and potential) separated last place from first yesterday, but with everyone crammed between them...You never know what the voters are going to do on night one.
UPDATE!
DWTS' Maksim Chmerkovskiy Slams Cheryl Burke Romance Rumors

Reports that Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Cheryl Burke had one wild weekend together in Las Vegas have gotten so outta hand, the Dancing With the Stars pros are now speaking out about their rumored romance.
As we told you yesterday, we think the dancing duo would make a perfectly cute couple.
However...

Call us crazy but we would so love to see Dancing With the Stars pros Cheryl Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy strike up a romance. Could you even deal with how hot their tango would be?
While we may have to wait to see that, the ballroom champs certainly raised some eyebrows this weekend in Las Vegas...
So True? So False? Is Maksim Chmerkovskiy Really Leaving Dancing With the Stars?!
ABC/ADAM TAYLOR
Say it ain't so! Now whose washboard abs are we going to spend two nights a week drooling over?
Hours before the winner is crowned on tonight's season finale of Dancing With the Stars, rumors are swirling that Maksim Chmerkovskiy (the only pro still in the running who hasn't yet won a mirror-ball trophy) that the competition-ender may also be the end of the ever-bickering charming pro.
Which would make this, his potentially final appearance on the ABC reality juggernaut, all the more bittersweet should he and partner Kirstie Alley not take first.
But is Maks really going the way of the Houghs? Will the pro be taking his final turn on the dance floor tonight? Will there really be a massive ego-sized hole in next fall's lineup? Get your innuendo-laced comebacks ready, because this rumor is…
Dancing With the Stars Finals: Kirstie Alley Falls Short, but She Can Still Win...Right?
Who deserves the mirror-ball trophy?
That's the only question remaining after Chelsea Kane, Kirstie Alley and Hines Ward did their utmost best to convince a legion of Dancing With the Stars fans tonight that one of them deserves more calls, clicks and texts than his or her fellow competitors.
While the lift-happy freestyle round is what the finals are all about, first off, the judges wanted to see samba from both ladies and a gentlemanly quickstep from the twinkly toed football pro...
Dancing With the Stars: Pros, Finalists on Which Celeb Will Dance Away With the Mirror-Ball Trophy!
This is it, America.
Tonight, Kirstie Alley, Chelsea Kane and Hines Ward will leave it all on the parquet, after dancing for glory (and the most hideous trophy in prime-time) in the Dancing With the Stars finals.
But which star will end up holding that glittery mirror-ball aloft on the floor? Ousted pros Dmitry Chaplin and Karina Smirnoff aren't keeping their picks a secret—and even more surprisingly, they've tipped the same celebrity hoofer to win the whole shebang.
So who are they backing? And what do the finalists have to say about the competition heading into tonight's final?
