Dancing with the Stars Elimination Night: Week One

September 25, 2008 at 9:00am PST

DWTS Elimination Night always sucks. ABC makes us suffer through sixty minutes to reach the 10 seconds when they announce who’s cut. Making last night even suckier: one of the first safe couples. 

Seriously, America? Seriously?

You saved Kim and her Norman Schwarzkopf of an ass? What were you thinking? Now we have to suffer through another week of her phony humility and moronic blathering. Thanks.

We were so disgruntled after the revolting turn of events we almost forgot that our new boy toy crush, Jesse McCartney, was set to take the stage to perform his hit “Leavin." The only thing hotter than Jesse was, apparently, the pro dancer whose sweaty back and pits started soaking through his blue dress shirt moments into their performance.

Question: why was the Jonas Brothers' performance shot though a camera lens smeared with Vaseline? We thought they only did that for old actresses trying to camouflage wrinkles. Are the Jo-Bros aging prematurely?  While we’ll never share the tween-mania for the Jo-Bros, we get it. Every generation needs a group like Brunette Hanson. The Monkees, Menudo, the original Hanson. This decade it’s Nick, Joe, and Kevin. But we can’t hate on Joe’s soft shoe with Derek Hough and Mark Ballas, it was adorable.

So who was the second couple to get the boot? The bottom two stars were Toni Braxton and Alec Mazo and Ted McGinley and Inna Brayer (the Brooklyn Queen). In the end, Ted and Inna were eliminated, an exit we’re very sad to see come so soon. We’re gonna have to Netflix old episodes of Hope and Faith and Married...With Children to get our fix from now on.

Until next week.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
