DWTS: Who Will Take Home the Disco Ball Trophy?
Adam Larkey/ABC
It's happy feet time!
With just a couple of days to go until the disco ball trophy is handed out on Dancing With the Stars, we thought we'd check in with some DWTS vets to find out what they think will go down when Mya, Donny and Kelly waltz as if their lives depended on it…
Double the Terror Equals Double the Fun on Dancing With the Stars
Could they make these eliminations any more overdramatic?
Dancing With the Stars milked every drop of suspense they could out of two celebs being on the chopping block tonight, with all of the contestants having to don bright new costumes just in case they were forced into a dance-off to save their sequined skins.
Following a performance show that provided hard-fought validation for some and was purely mediocre for others, Donny Osmond had "the living daylights" scared out of him by the prospect of a double elimination, while Aaron Carter, faced with a bottom-two finish the two previous weeks, mock-tearfully pleaded with the audience to save him for the sake of Karina.
So did the two contenders totally jinx themselves, or did they drag out the drama for nothing?
Dancing With the Stars Still Less Than Perfect
The heat was on tonight on Dancing With the Stars as the nine remaining celebs hoofed for their lives in advance of Tuesday's double elimination.
First off was either a waltz or jitterbug, and the retro vibe continued with a Grease-style dance marathon, minus the hand jive, of course.
You could tell that Aaron Carter has been emotionally hurting from being in the bottom two, two weeks in a row, Mya is physically hurting from being tossed all over Dmitry's hunky shoulders, and Kelly Osbourne sprained her ankle last week. Melissa Joan Hart had to deal with taking a 7-point dive and Donny Osmond, poor lad, was saddled with the pressure that comes from entering the week on top.
And no one had scored a perfect 30 yet!
The contestants had no choice but to up their game or face the wrath of the increasingly contentious judges, not to mention the prospect of viewer unappreciation if they focused too much on fancy footwork and left their hearts at home.
At least there was one thing the judges could agree on—nothing.

Maksim & Karina Reunion? Never Gonna Happen!

If anyone out there is still holding out hope that Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff will get back together, there's probably a better chance of seeing Tom DeLay doing a jive on next week's Dancing With the Stars.
It just ain't happenin', folks!
Maks made that pretty clear when we caught up with him at last night's Free the Slaves Freedom Awards at the University of Southern California's Bovard Auditorium in L.A.
Dancing With the Stars Cast Unveiled: No Paula Abdul, but Tom DeLay Tapped
The Iceman, the Chairman, the Hammer and the Witch vs. the Puppy Lover?
This season of Dancing With the Stars could get intense.
After weeks of buzz and rumors, the ninth season's cast is no longer a mystery. Emmy-nominated host Tom Bergeron appeared on Good Morning America today to reveal the record number of stars who will face new restrictions, "ballroom bloodbath" double eliminations and still-inevitable injuries in the hopes of waltzing away with that mirrorball trophy.
Paula Abdul won't be there (she won't be on So You Think You Can Dance, either, if Mary Murphy gets her say), and neither will Hills hottie Audrina Patridge or grieving sister La Toya Jackson.
But who will be sashaying into prime time in a matter of weeks?
