Dancing With the Stars Costume Designer: “Celebrities Not as Hot as They Think”

Randall Christensen, the costume designer for Dancing With the Stars, revealed that his biggest design challenge is the celebrities’ distorted body image. When I first read the article, I thought he was about to discuss how the celebrities are too insecure to wear the revealing costumes, but it’s actually the opposite. According to Christensen, “a lot of times they really think they’re in better shape or a lot more toned than they are.” Nothing pleases me more than hearing about an “untoned” celebrity. That’s not because I like to swim in the misery of others, but rather, I enjoy knowing that I’m not the only one with a fat ass.

Cheryl Burke Upset With Paparazzi for Publicizing Her Weight Gain

Call me a heartless prick, but I love to see pictures of celebrities when they gain weight.  It’s not because I enjoy the misery of others, it’s just that I’d like to believe that celebrities are sans cellulite because they have the time to spend the entire day doing squats.  So when pictures emerged of Cheryl Burke in a bikini looking larger than she did on Dancing With The Stars, I found it comforting.  I thought, “wow, Cheryl is a real human being that puts on weight during her breaks from the show.  Maybe now I won’t feel so bad about my gigantic ass.”  Unfortunately, Cheryl didn’t see it that way.   Instead, she’s said that those pictures forced her to go on an extreme diet and the paparazzi basically ruined her life.  So here’s my advice to Cheryl Burke: either get out of the kitchen or develop thicker skin (no pun intended).  Sensitive people don’t belong in this business — it’s way too cutthroat.

Derek Hough Leaves Dancing With the Stars — I’m Devastated

If you’re a fan of my blog, then you know how much I love Dancing With the Stars, and you might also know that Derek Hough is my favorite professional dancer on the show. He’s by far the most talented dancer and the best choreographer. Remember when all of the professional dancers except Derek Hough needed outside choreographers for help with their free-style routine? Perhaps you can guess who won that season. Hough sadly announced that he’s leaving the show to pursue his movie career, but he says he’ll definitely return. As a tribute to Hough, I’ve attached some of his best dances below. Enjoy!

Dr. Drew on The Bachelor! — Is He a Celebrity Whore?

I’ve loved Dr. Drew since the days of Loveline on MTV, when he taught me everything I didn’t want to know about random callers with third nipples.  He was the expert doctor who was there to help.  At no point in the show did I believe he was in it for the fame.  I’ve since changed my mind.  I’m fine with him lending his expertise to Celebrity Rehab, but I draw the line at Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor.  If you are going to whore yourself out for money, at least stick to your field.  Watch his extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate appearance on Dancing With the Stars below, to see what I mean.

Dear Donald Trump — Stop Casting Reality Stars on Your Reality Show

The new cast of Celebrity Apprentice has been announced, and I’m disappointed. Though it might be interesting to if Richard Hatch (Survivor) and NeNe Leakes (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) can actually make intelligent business decisions, I’m sick of reality shows recycling reality stars. These shows basically provide a mosh-pit of recycled fame-whores that are looking to extend their fifteen minutes of fame to twenty minutes. Keep in mind that I’m not a realty-television-hater, but there’s a lot of people in the industry who were actually famous for a talent, and who are looking to resurrect their career. Those are the people who should be selected. Forgive me if I don’t want to see the douchey Jake Pavelka on Dancing With the Stars.

Today’s Rule: It’s Not a Curse if it Makes Sense

When I was young I took the time to write down every one of my pet peeves, in hopes that I would review the very long list later in life and discover that the little things no longer bother me.  Unfortunately, the plan didn’t work.  But in honor of my therapeutic effort, I will share with you one of the pet peeves on the list.  Here goes — you are not allowed to call something a “curse,” if it makes sense.  What do I mean?  Alright, I’m going to keep this description short and sweet.  Many people are referring to Jennifer Grey’s recent back surgery as a “Dancing With the Stars curse.”  Gee, I wonder how celebrities on that show get injured.  It’s so mysterious, and therefore worthy of some kind of magical explanation.  Could it be that it’s a rigorous dancing show that casts amateurs with little to no dancing experience?  And there you have it — a logical explanation.

Argentina’s Dancing With the Stars — A Must See Strip Dance

This video was sent my way some time ago, and it unfortunately got lost in my inbox.  Luckily for my readers, I’m still posting it.  Because Dancing With the Stars is such a popular show, the idea is often copied in other countries, and one of those countries is Argentina.  Argentina’s version is called Dancing for a Dream, and it pairs celebrities up with regular people to fulfill their fantasy.  In this case, the “regular guy” had a fantasy of dancing with Maxim and Playboy model, Silvina Escudero, and when you watch the video below, I’m sure you’ll agree that his wish was granted.  The dance is x-rated to say the least, and in case you’re at work and can’t watch it, I’ll spoil the surprise and tell you that he simulates oral sex on her.  I’m sure my male readers (and some of my female readers too) will also be pleased to find that there are many close-ups of Silvina’s ass in a thong. Enjoy!

Brandy and Maksim Eliminated From DWTS — I’m not Surprised

Bristol Palin is inhaling a shit-storm of criticism for staying on Dancing With the Stars despite more successful dancers getting eliminated.  Many blame the tea party for inflating votes, but I actually think voters got it right.  If the competition was based solely on dancing ability, I could understand the outrage.  But it’s not.  It’s based on dancing ability, improvement, and personality.  Brandy and Maksim both lacked the third element.  Maksim is excessively arrogant, often talking back to the judges.  For goodness sakes, he even defended slapping Brandy on the ass as part of his incredible teaching ability!  You can’t win a voter-based competition and act like an ass. So congratulations Bristol — you deserve to be there.

Derek Hough & Jennifer Grey — The Best DWTS Partnership Ever

Every time I watch Dancing With the Stars I’m reminded that Derek Hough is an incredible dancer, who is way more talented than any of the other professional dancers on the show.  Tonight was no exception.  I looked up his history, and the most interesting thing I found is that all four of his grandparents were dancers, which leads me to believe he was dancing in the womb.  His performance tonight with Jennifer Grey might have been his best ever.  Watch below.
