Dancing With The Stars Results Week 3

Posted on 07 October 2009 by Tammy Cakes

Debi-Mazar-Tom-DeLay-Leave-DWTS.-2jpg

This week on Dancing With The Stars we say goodbye to two celebs and their dance partners.

The fourth couple to be eliminated is Debi Mazar and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Their Monday night Samba earned them a score of 17.

Surprisingly, Tom DeLay, who performed with stress fractures on both of his feet Monday, announced that he was forced to leave the show due to his injuries.

The 62-year-old Republican congressman has been in pain since he first started training with his partner, Cheryl Burke.

“They put me in Latin shoes with high heels, and my toes almost fell off the first week. So I went to a podiatrist, and I got a little problem with my feet. A cortisone shot cured me up.”

On the bottom of the score board this week were Michael Irvin with 14 points and Chuck Liddell with 17  points. Both celebs were luckily voted back for another week by their fan base.

Here is video of the Tom Delay, Debi Mazar and their partners on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

Tom DeLay To Announce His Departure From Dancing With The Stars

Posted on 06 October 2009 by Tammy Cakes

tom-delay-announces-departure-from-dwtsEOnline.com reports that Republican congressman, Tom DeLay will announce on tonight’s result show that he’s leaving Dancing With The Stars due to dance related injuries.

According to E! he is suffering from a stress fracture in both of his feet. He performed last night against his doctors’ and show producers’ advice.

DeLay started feeling pain right after he started training with partner Cheryl Burke, before the season even premiered.

“They put me in Latin shoes with high heels, and my toes almost fell off the first week. So I went to a podiatrist, and I got a little problem with my feet. A cortisone shot cured me up.”

DeLay is not the first DWTS contestant to drop out of the competition. Jewel and Nancy O’Dell were replaced before last season’s premiere and last October, volleyball star Misty May-Treanor walked away mid-competition when she ruptured her Achilles tendon during practice.

We wish Tom a speedy recovery. The show won’t be the same without him.

Dancing With The Stars Patrick Swayze Tribute

Posted on 24 September 2009 by Tammy Cakes

jennifer-grey-and-patrick-swayze-dirty-dancing

Dancing With The Stars payed tribute to the late Patrick Swayze with three short dance performances done by the DWTS pros.

The tribute started out with Chelsie Hightower and Dmitry Chaplin breezing through Swayze’s own “She’s Like the Wind” from “Dirty Dancing” and then real-life husband and wife Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya performed a romantic duet to “Unchained Melody” from “Ghost.” But the real clincher was the final “Dirty Dancing” routine, set to “Time of My Life,” with Cheryl Burke playing the part of Baby, and Tony Dovolani as Johnny Castle.

The tribute was amazing, fantastic, beautiful, and very touching. Cheryl and Tony did an amazing job recreating the infamous Dirty Dancing performance.

Watch the tribute below:

The Dress That Just Won’t Disappear!

Posted on 18 June 2009 by Tammy Cakes


Ok this is just ridiculous. This dress isn’t even that cute. I liked it the first time I saw it and the second. By the third time I was laughing, now it has just turned into being totally ridiculous. These girls need to either fire there fashion consultant or get one immediately.

The dress doesn’t even look good on all of them. I think Cheryl Burke pulls it off the best. And I must add that she was the very first to sport it. Who do you think looks the best in this $1,742 Herve Leger dress? Heather Graham, June 9th in Dublin, Kristin Cavallari in June 9th in Los Angeles, Cheryl Burke on May 22nd in Las Vegas, Doutzen Kroes on June 11th in NYC, or Heidi Montag Pratt on June 15th in NYC.
