This week on Dancing with the Stars, Wayne
Newton - who, no offense, Wayne-iacs, but he needs to stop having
plastic surgery!! - got the boot for his less than stellar mustachioed
performance on the dance floor with Cheryl Burke. Has he always
looked like that? He has this lively gleam in his eye, but
close-ups on his face were very unflattering. And not in an older
man way, but in a too-much-nipped-and-tucked way. The Las Vegas
showman then, strangely enough, thanked his wife, children, and his
agent upon his dismissal, as if it were an awards
show.
We're gunning for two people to leave next,
both men: Mark Cuban, who appears to be trying hard but just
doesn't seem to have it, and Cameron Mathison, who just plain bores
us. Surprisingly, though, it was another man who was in the bottom
two this week: boxer Floyd Mayweather, who we thought is both
entertaining and talented in his spins around the floor with Karina
Smirnoff.
Also still in the competition are Cameron
Mathison from "All My Children," who kind of bores us, Jane Seymour (who
scored sympathy points from judges for the tango she dedicated to her
mother, who passed away last week), Marie Osmond, Helio Castroneves,
Jennie Garth, Sabrina Bryan (we liked her jive!), and Mel B.
Jennie Garth looks like she's lost a lot of weight already in the
competition, and her tango was hot! (Though not as hot as her
hubby Peter Facinelli in the audience - whoo-wee!) And Mel B., who
totally nailed her jive this week, is one of our favorites to
watch. Did you hear her saying, "Nine, nine,
nine-na-nine-na-nine!" to her partner Maksim? She has that lovely
accent and when she speaks it sounds like a new pop song - plus her
jive was very impressive.
I do have one odd observation to
make: of course, right on the heels of us calling Dancing with the
Stars elegant and a good inspiration for kids
to watch, they go and put Seal on stage to sing "Kiss from a
Rose." What was that all about? First of all, this
is a song from 1994, and secondly, it's debatably about Seal's cocaine
addiction, with lines like "and did you know, that when it snows, my
eyes become wide and the light that you shine can't be seen."
Bill Ray Cyrus' duet with his daughter,
Miley, though, we loved!! Aw, what a sweet refrain.
We prefer him with a mullet, though - he's just not meant for that Keith
Urban flatiron look. Here's the video clip:
And can we please replace
Samantha Harris with Drew Lachey? He's funny, witty, and he's like
a cute little doll. Samantha Harris is set to return in Drew's
place next week, and she is as boring as Wayne's tango - no, more
so!
