It was SO nice to see Rumer Willis win first place on Dancing with the Stars. This girl has been tortured by online haters more than any celebrity’s kid or actress we know. For some reason haters decided she wasn’t pretty enough to be Demi Moore’s daughter and they relentlessly bullied and insulted her. She admits it was terribly upsetting and almost ruined her life. Last night she got her life back. She IS a winner, after all!

There have been a lot of faked romances to boost ratings on “Dancing With the Stars” but it appears that contestant Robert Herjavec, 51, really IS enamored with his dance partner Kym Johnson, 38. (He’s Croatian-Canadian, she’s Australian) Around the same time rehearsals started for the show, Robert and his wife (who resembles Kym) separated. Robert, who has a net worth of 100 million dollars, has been raving about Kym and spending a lot of time with her – sometimes in his private jet. Derek Hough remarked “He’s exactly the kind of partner Kym has always looked for.”

Tommy Chong, 76, is delighted with California’s liberal marijuana laws because he spent nine months in prison for distributing drug paraphernalia (bongs) back in 2003. A former hippie, he remains an activist and wore an old t shirt to dance practice that says “I am not a criminal – end marijuana prohibition.” Do you suppose he smokes before he competes on Dancing with the Stars?

Antonio Sabato just changed into his dancing shoes outside the DWTS rehearsal studio. He usually wears a “wife beater” on hot days when he’s dancing. Has this slang term for an undershirt become politically incorrect? Marlon Brando’s character Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar Named Desire made this shirt famous and he was brutal, so maybe that’s where the term started.

Brooke Burke-Charvet, 42, was shocked and hurt when she was abruptly fired from “Dancing with the Stars” last February and replaced by Erin Andrews, 35. But she DOES have other things to keep her busy. To the delight of buyers from stores across the country, she turned up at the MAGIC apparel show in Las Vegas to promote her collection of activewear. Her unfortunately named label is called Caelum (it’s a Latin word) and it’s both durable and affordable, with each piece under $100. Brooke wears it herself almost every day.

The Price is Right host Drew Carey seemed like a very ordinary nice guy when he appeared on Dancing With The Stars. Often there are romantic rumors about single celebrities and their dance partners on the show, but no such rumors appeared about Drew and Cheryl Burke, for good reason. Drew, 55, is VERY involved with a 29 year old porn star! According to RadarOnline, the comic spotted Niki Skyler online in a sex video and started sending her gifts. His generosity eventually extended to renting an expensive house for the “actress” and her son – close to his, of course. Drew is expected to propose to Niki IF she will retire from x-rated movies. (Click HERE to see a surprising photo of Drew as a young Marine)
We can’t stop thinking about Jennifer Lopez’s new romance with DWTS star Maksim Chmerkovskiy. OF COURSE, sparks must have flown between them when he picked her up for the finale of a dance number at the American Music Awards in November. Maks admitted those were “the most stressful four seconds of my life.” Not ONLY because he was afraid he might drop her, but there must have been an immediate attraction, only fueled by the fact that they were both seeing others. Since then they have both shed their mates, and the time is right. We anticipate plenty of fireworks in this relationship: Maks has that Eastern European macho temper and he’s accustomed to docile girls who take his lead. Jennifer is also accustomed to being in charge, and SHE has a hot Latina temper herself. This is going to be fun!

Winnie Cooper from “The Wonder Years” has grown up in the best possible way. Danica McKellar, 39, not only graduated from college with honors, she wrote four books on her major, MATH! Now she’s divorced with a four year old son and she decided it’s time to show her stuff on “Dancing With The Stars.” Val Chmerkovskiy looks quite happy with his latest dance partner.

We’re guessing that Kate Upton’s parents are breathing a sigh of relief since their daughter split with her boyfriend of six months, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Ukrainian born Maksim, 33, is very sexy and a fabulous dancer, but he appeared on 14 seasons of ”Dancing With the Stars” and he never won with any of his partners. Some dance partners complained that he was too impatient and bossy, and he had difficulty curbing his hot temper. Dominating Ukrainians tend to be very controlling with all-American fun-loving girls like Kate, who’s only 21. Luckily, their initial passion burned out and they have both moved on – avoiding future problems.

We’re not sure if “Dancing With The Stars” is really contemplating having nothing but Oscar winners compete for an upcoming season. It IS, after all, a brilliant idea because there are too many unknowns on the shows recently. However the rumor that Renee Zellweger was their #1 choice IS far-fetched. Yes, she can dance, (see “Chicago” photo above with Richard Gere) ) but Renee is known for being extremely SHY and reserved. She prefers to be OUT of the spotlight so we doubt that DWTS is in hot pursuit. But certainly there ARE a lot of Oscar winners who could really use a career boost about now and would love to take a spin on the dancefloor.
