DWTS finals: Rob Kardashian takes the lead

Diane Alter – AHN News Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – The cast of Dancing With the Stars has been whittled down to three.

The trio of celebrities and their professional partners gave it their best shot Monday for their final performance.

Ricki Lake danced first with partner Derek Hough, who won last year with partner Jennifer Grey. Ricki and Derek scored a 27 out of a possible 30 for their fist dance. Her second dance left the duo with a score of 54 for the night.

J.R. Martinez started the evening earning a 24 for his cha cha. But his second dance with Karina Smirnoff helped him earn a perfect score of 30, giving him a total of 54, and placed him in a tie with Ricki Lake

Dark horse and now possible contender is Rob Kardashian who also racked up a score of 27 for his first dance and did even better on his second dance. Rob and partner Cheryl Burke earned a perfect 30, topping the scoreboard with a 57.

The winner of the coveted Mirror Ball trophy will be announced Tuesday night. Early polls have J.R. Martinez winning, but surprises are always a given.

Karina Smirnoff may lose “DWTS” job for posing nude for Playboy

Anne Lu – Celebrity News Service Contributor

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) – “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer Karina Smirnoff may be in danger of losing her job now that Playboy honcho Hugh Hefner has revealed she will be gracing the men’s magazine’s cover. The ABC show producers are apparently worried that her nude photos would soil the wholesome image of the family show.

Hef has just announced on Twitter that the new episode of Playboy will be “unforgettable,” saying, “The May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with Dancing With The Stars’ Karina Smirnoff on the cover & nude inside.”

There’s no confirmation yet from the 33-year-old Ukrainian American dancer’s camp, but people backstage the show are already worried about her naked pictures.

A “DWTS” insider told Popeater, “If Karina posed naked, she can kiss her dancing days goodbye. I hope for Karina’s sake that this isn’t true.”

The immediate response of the people at the alphabet network’s show is that having one of their dancers pose naked during an ongoing season could “soil” their family-friendly image.

Another source said, “ABC publicity department control the image of this show with an iron fist. It’s a cash cow and they are not going to allow its reputation to be soiled by a dancer who wants to do Playboy.”

And by posing for the magazine without her bosses’ approval, Karina may have already violated the terms of her contract.

Karina is currently partnered with original “Karate Kid” star Ralph Macchio on the season 12 of the show.

“Teen Mom” Stars’ Per Season Salary Reportedly Over $60,000

Anne Lu – AHN Entertainment Contributor

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – The young stars of MTV’s “Teen Mom” earn $60,000 to $65,000 per season, it has been reported. The cash is allegedly the reason why on-again, off-again couple Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley can’t walk away from the show, despite the negative publicity they have been getting.

A series insider told Life & Style that the stars make $60,000 to $65,000 per season. But even though this figure is enough to provide Amber and Gary with comfortable lives, they are still constantly in short of cash as neither one knows how to save.

Jordan Sanchez, Gary’s best friend told the magazine, “Gary says he’s broke. The money is the only reason he’s willing to do the show. You can’t walk away from money like that.”

The couple have already started filming the next season of the show in Tennessee. They are reportedly planning to move to Florida with daughter Leah, where Amber’s uncle owns a business.

VH1′s New Show “Dance Cam Slam” Premieres Oct. 26

Stephanie Sims – AHN Entertainment Reporter

Santa Monica, CA, United States (AHN) – There’s a new dance show in town…and it’s no “Dancing With the Stars.” VH1 is looking for the most outrageously talented and wildly entertaining dancers from across the country to compete in a new weekly dance competition show called “Dance Cam Slam.” Anyone with a web cam and a high speed internet connection can audition at DanceCam.VH1.com.

In this show, contestants compete in three rounds, but they never need to travel to the show’s studio in Los Angeles – they compete from the comfort of their own homes and simply dance in front of their web cam.

The judges for the show are Brandon Henschel, a choreographer and dancer who has appeared in Britney Spears’ “Oops! I Did It Again” music video and several movies, and Jordan Feldman, an actor who has appeared in “I Love You, Man” and “Entourage.”

“Dance Cam Slam” will be hosted by Marianela Pereyra, who has hosted several shows on Fuse TV, as well as “Poker After Dark” on NBC. Unlike other hosts of dancing-related shows, Pereyra can actually relate to dance – her parents were professional tango dancers, and she herself is classically trained in ballet.

However, this show is very unlike “Dancing With the Stars,” she says. “‘Dancing With the Stars’ is all about glam and has a celebrity component. This show is all about the viewers and they’re pulled through by viewers, and they’re just dancing in front of their webcams letting it rip. They don’t know how many people are watching them, and that’s what makes it so fun.”

Dancers will compete in three rounds, and judges score the dancers based on the overall entertainment value of their performance on a scale of one to ten and the best combined score moves on. Contestants will all appear in individual windows on a giant video screen in our Los Angeles studio.

During the final round, viewers at home will vote live at DanceCam.VH1.com and by text messaging on VH1 Mobile to determine which of the three finalists will win the $5,000 cash prize and return next week to defend the crown. Viewers at home can also comment on the dancers live via Twitter and possibly even see their tweets appear in the show.

Pereyra says she’s very excited for the show to start, and even though it premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 26 at 10 pm – which is the time slot following “Dancing With the Stars” – she’s not worried.

“You never know what the judges are going to say, and you never know what people will do to prove they’re the best,” she said. “I’m a big fan of improv, and this show is all about how entertaining you are and what you can bring to the table. We’re looking for people who will blow us away.”
