Has Dancing with Stars’ winner found a new partner?
Within a few hours of Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough’s win on this season of Dancing with the Stars,” He was confirm the break-up with his finance, Aliette Vazquez. But was this really a surprise to anyone who was watching the show?
especially in the finale episodes.
In May, People magazine reported the break-up for Hough and her fiance Zach Wilson, also a dancer.
The NY Daily News reported “on-set snitches” as saying his “closeness” to his dance partner factored into the break-up.
Any thoughts? Will we be seeing more of this couple?
TweetDancing with the Star Results - did your favorite win?
Season five of Dancing with the Stars went out with a leap and a bound tonight (Nov. 26) on ABC.
Tonight’s finale was kicked off with Celine Dion singing her ubiquitous hit, “My Heart Will Go On.” As Dion sang her heart out the professional dancers floated across the stage.
The first couple eliminated was Marie & Jonathan earning them the third place spot. Their performance last night was the weakest of the three and each time she was interviewed she seemed a little wacky. Their farewell dance tonight was the tango and if nothing else, it looked like they were having fun tonight. Earlier in the show when asked what Marie would miss most about the competition, Osmond responded, “the spray tanning.”
Of the couples that came back to dance tonight Albert and Anna connected with the crowd doing a version of the Cha Cha Cha giving the audience something to cheer about.
The destiny of the mirror ball trophy is still unknown.
Mel and Mak

So finally, who won the mirror ball already?
This season’s champions are…
Helio and Julianne
Was Celine’s second number really necessary? And what’s with the air guitar? I’m just asking.
While we wait for a new season of the Dancing with the Stars to start we can be on the lookout for the touring version coming soon.
Your thoughts: Weren’t there too many commercials? What will you miss?
TweetDancing with the Star Finale - Who Won?
It’s all over but the voting. Another season of Dancing with the Stars is almost in the record books. One question remains… who won?
Here’s a reccap of the show with some of the judges comments along with my thoughts.
Judges Choice portion of the Competion
Mel and Maksim The first couple, Mel and Maksim hit the dance floor with an energy filled version of the Cha Cha Cha danced to the Car Wash.
Judges Comments and Scores
Len - Crisp Clean Presice - a couple - 9
Bruno - What an acomplished dancer in a couple fo month - 10
Carrie Ann - really good - expecting a hair more excitement - 9
Marie and Jonathan Fainting the first time around the judges wanted to see Marie and her partner dance the Samba. I thought this dance had much less energy than the first group.
Judges Comments and Scores
Len - technically not the strongest - entertainment and fun you’re number one - a couple - 8
Bruno - Always give heart and sole - technical the samba is tricky -wasn’t your best dance - 8
Carrie Ann - range of motion limited - 8
Helio and Julianne The Jive Poodle skirt and the Twist showcased Julianne’s talents… but what about Helio’s?
Judges Comments and Scores
Len - Messed up toe heal swivels - so many technical problems - 8
Bruno - Gleaming personality - boundless energy - wasn’t good enough - 9
Carrie Ann - I would agree with the audience - flips and kicks still a little off - 8
Free Style Portion of the competition
Mel & Maksim The flips and jumps were fun in this techno number but were they good enough?
Judges Comments and Scores
Len - I loved the lifts - didn’t flow for me- 9
Bruno - Hip and cool and took risks - 9
Carrie Ann - I think you are better than your routine tonight - 9
Marie and Jonathan Start Me Up. Whatwas the routine? It looked like a mix of the Donny & Marie show combined with the Carol Burnett Show.
Judges Comments and Scores Len - You have a good idea… and then it doesn’t work- 7 Bruno - Baby jane and the Bride of Chucky - 7 Carrie Ann -You are a risk taker - you are the queen performer - 8
Helio and Julianne Jumps, glitter and energy describe this couple’s free style choice. Of the three - they looked like they were just having a great time. - Not bad for a race car driver.
Judges Comments and Scores Len -best free style of the night - by miles - 10
Bruno - Here we got it - 10
Carrie Ann - I’m worn out - you have technique and the entertainment factor - 9
All three groups have come so far this season. Tonight’s performances would seem to put Helio and Julianne in the top spot even though the point count would put them in the second spot.
Who do you think will win this season?
The finale is tomorrow (Wed. Nov. 27) ABC at 9:00 p.m. on ABC and will feature all the season’s contestants aloung with Celine Dion.
TweetHulk Hugan’s wife files for divorce
Where there’s smoke there’s often fire. This appears to be the case for Hulk Hogan and his wife. The last few previews for the reality TV series “Hogan Knows Best” that aired on VH!, had Linda (Bollea - the couple’s real names) saying, “I can’t live like this.”
In the episode that aired Hulk (Terry Bollea) said, “Every day it’s drama - It’s just ridiculous.”
According to a report by the St. Pete Times, Linda has filed for a dissolution calling it quits on the couple’s 23 year long marriage.
Earlier this month the couple’s son Nick was arrested on charges of reckless op in connection with an accident that happened late this summer. The driver of the other car inolved in the accident is in a comma and remains in the hospital. The St. Pete Times is reporting the injured drivers’ family is considering filling suit against the Hogans (Bolleas) to pay for the necessary long-term care.
Only the family knows for sure what may have caused the break-up. Perhaps it was the added attention from the reality TV spotlight, the crazy drama that always seemed to be a part of the family dynamics, Nick’s accident or countless of other reasons - who knows - we’ll miss their antics.

TweetWhere did they find all these characters?
The new season of Project Runway is off to a flamboyant start. While many would agree, you’d expect to find a few eccentric characters on a show about fashion - but 15? I’m serious - I think everyone of these contestants has a story to tell… or as they say in the fashion business - a point of view.
This season’s cast appears to be the most out there cast of any season to date. From the first few minutes of the show start, everyone in the room was picking the designers they loved and the designers they loathed.
Watching the show with a few of the Project Runway faithful, it was interesting to hear the comparisons of this season’s crazies with some of the past seasons’ fashion starlets.
The preview for next week’s show looks drama’s a brewing…
What did you think of the show opener? Any favorites?
