I can take him or leave him.

I do give him a heck of a lot of credit, though, for being 1 of the hardest working people in show business. He's definitely driven and works hard.
As far as the "romancing" Julianne Hough, no way!!

i think that once Ryan's talk show bombs which it will they should offer that slot to Tom Bergeron to have his own talk show cuz that would be interesting to watch and everyone knows that Tom is entertaining

ABC sets fall premiere dates; 'Better Together' now 'Better With You' - From Inside the Box - Zap2it

ABC announced the premiere dates for DWTS. Season 11 starts Monday, September 20th, with what they're saying is a special performance show on Tuesday night (also at 8). The first results show is the following Tuesday at 9 this season. So I wonder if they're doing the guys/girls night again I hate that set up, personally, but it looks like everyone will get to dance two dances before the first elimination, which I do like. The cast will probably be announced about a month before.

Also a big congrats to DWTS for their Emmy nominations-Tom got host, DWTS got reality competition program, techinical/camerawork, and Derek/Chelsie got some special nominations. One for their pro paso, and Derek for his futristic paso and quick step with Nicole.

Great news on the Emmy nods! Tom definitely deserves it - IMO he is the best host on TV.

Funny that Derek got nominated for his Quickstep which, according to Len, wasn't a Quickstep. I'd love to see that Paso with Chelsie win...that one was phenomenol.

I'm surprised his quick step got nominated. Out of all his routines, it just surprised me that one would get picked. But I guess if Bruno can give a non-quick step a 9, he can get an Emmy for it

The Derek/Chelsie Paso was my favorite performance of the season. I'd love to see it win.

Melissa Rycroft, 'Dancing with the Stars' and 'Bachelor' alum, is pregnant

Melissa Rycroft won't be dancing in a few months' time.

The "Dancing with the Stars" and "Bachelor" alum has announced she is pregnant six months after marrying insurance agent Tye Strickland, usmagazine.com reports.

"It was a shock. We weren't even trying," Rycroft told the gossip magazine. "It's the most wonderful surprise in the world."

As the co-host of ABC's new reality series, "Bachelor Pad," Rycroft was busy with her career and had no plans to start a family.

"He wanted the kids right away, and I was laughing at him going, 'No, not ready!'" she told usmagazine.com.

The 27-year-old reality TV star is reportedly hoping for a boy while her husband wants a girl.

"We're going to find out as soon as we can," she told the gossip magazine.

Rycroft married Strickland in December, about nine months after she was publicly dumped by her former fiancé, "Bachelor" star Jason Mesnick.

I was happy to hear that on the news.
However, it sure sounded like she really wasn't ready for it to happen so soon.

Looks like Chelsea Clinton got some help from Maks on her wedding's first dance.

'DWTS' pro choreographed Chelsea Clinton's wedding dance - USATODAY.com

Interesting to see what happens when you have the budget to pull out all the stops.

What a great opportunity for Maks! He seems to have been busy this summer. I wonder if this will put the show any closer to their dream casting of Bill Clinton.

Per Louis's tweets, the pros are finding out August 20th who's coming back. I originally misread that as they were meeting their partners then, so I got a little excited that Louis was returning. Hopefully he is. Last season some pros found out later than others due to their celeb partners not signing right away. I wonder if it'll be like last season, where they meet their partners before the cast reveal. If ABC wants to keep it a secret, good luck. They did last season but in the days leading up the announcement, the pros were spotted with their celebs so it came out who was on (I think Erin, Niecy, and Jake were the only ones not spoiled ahead of time).

Jonathan is also choreographing a Viennese Waltz for SYTYCD tonight. Maybe that'll put him in a new light in our producers eyes. Seemed to have worked for Louis Quite a few DWTS alumni have been choreographing for that show this season I've read.
