Forget Survivor! Dancing with the Stars is the most dangerous show on television! The show doesn't even start until next week, and already two of the "stars" are injured.

Finally, we're free to dance away with our baby daddy Derek Hough's heart!

The Dancing with the Stars pro and his girlfriend, American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, have officially parted ways.

And they made the announcement, ugh, via Twitter.

American Idol may be replacing Paula Abdul with Posh Spice, at least temporarily, but that doesn't mean the "Straight Up" singer is likely to disappear from your TV screen any time soon.

Abdul is proving more popular than ever since leaving Idol, with both ABC execs and So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe wooing her with job offers.

Paula may return to her dancer and choreographer roots to serve as a judge on SYTYCD, which is basically the dance equivalent of Idol.

Someone isn't in the mood for a little dirty dancing.

Kelly Ripa's husband, former All My Children hunk Mark Consuelos has reportedly been approached by the producers of Dancing With the Stars to appear on the next season of the show. He very much declined.

Last night we went to the taping of the DWTS finale with our friend Dylan and got an up-close and personal glimpse at the show as it unfolded.

The front row star watch was probably the best part.

Holly Madison is heading to Las Vegas where she’ll be appearing in Peepshow.

Beginning in June, Holly will replace Kelly Monaco in what we like to call the "Little Ho Peep Show" which currently co-stars Mel B of the Spice Girls.

All three women also appeared on Dancing with the Stars.

Speaking of which, did the Peepshow people not see how HORRENDOUS Holly was on DWTS?

She didn’t even outlast Steve Wozniak or Steve-O. She was terrible!

How is she going to dance in a burlesque revue?

Leaving the stars, and the audience in anxious anticipation, DWTS was all about filler last night.

First up, the competition for a new pro entered its final stage with Mayo being paired with Kym Johnson while Anna was with Maks. Our least favorite wannabe new pro, Afton, got the boot last week.

This week the new wannabe pro had to deliver a performance that was a test of their choreography skills.

Melissa and Tony kicked off the semifinal show with a Quickstep that was classy, classic and charming, if a little dull. “I thought it had great musicality…I thought the whole thing was a delight. It was just gorgeous,” Len began. “It was very very good...for me it wasn’t as exhilarating as it could have been,” Bruno admitted. “I’m going to agree with Bruno. It was nice. It was pretty. But I don’t feel real connection,” Carrie Ann concurred. They receive two nines and a ten (from Len), giving them 28 points to start the night.

Mama didn’t raise no fool.

Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has parlayed her fame on the show into three dance studios, the most recent of which opened on Friday. 

“It’s always been a dream of mine to have my own studios and now I have three — and I hope to open more,” Burke said. “The show has renewed people’s interest in ballroom dance and it’s amazing.”

Melissa and Tony were invited back to dance their perfect 30 scoring Samba. And, this time, Melissa’s boob stayed tucked away.

The first safe couple is Gilles and Cheryl, followed by Melissa and Tony.

This week the new wannabe pros were paired with a previous star to see if they can teach as well as they can dance.

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!
