Amber Riley Wins ‘Dancing with the Stars’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements, News,
Amber Riley has won Dancing with the Stars.
The Glee actress and her professional partner Derek Hough have taken home this year's mirrorball trophy after triumphing over High School Musical actor Corbin Bleu and his professional partner Karina Smirnoff with a perfect-scoring samba/quickstep fusion.
"Anything that scares me I want to do. You can do whatever, whatever, whatever you put your mind to," Amber said, speaking after the result was announced.
And despite coming second, Corbin was just delighted to have taken part: "I thank God for this experience. I thank my family."
Earlier in the evening, Jack Osbourne - whose sister Kelly came third on the show in 2009 - and his partner Cheryl Burke were eliminated into third place after the first round of dances. "I'm definitely not a better dancer than my sister, for one. We're both tied. Just going the distance for me was winning enough," he said.

Could the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards be another year for firsts?
Around this same time last September, the execs of basic cable were thrilled to see one of their own finally win the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series (Mad Men). Meanwhile, producers of reality fare saw an award given to one of their hosts (Jeff Probst). So which other category could be covered during this round? Animation.
For the first time since 1961 (when The Flintstones were still on air), an animated program has been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. So will Family Guy finally go where The Simpsons has never gone before? Not if the six other contenders have anything to say about it!
So who won? Who lost? Which funnyman took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor since Jeremy Piven wasn’t even nominated? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

Will Keanu Reeves Be Dancing with the Stars?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip,
Could we soon be seeing Neo testing out his acrobatic moves on the dance floor? Only if Karina Smirnoff has her way.
In an interview with Us Weekly, the Dancing with the Stars vet revealed that a certain Matrix star has been her dream partner for several years now. (What? You mean Steve Wozniak wasn’t cutting it for her?)
“I have always wanted to meet Keanu Reeves,” the newly engaged dancer revealed. “I’ve said it for, like, eight seasons, and it doesn’t seem that he’s gotten the message. He hasn’t responded, so I’m starting to give up.” Seriously, Karina—the man’s acting is a bit…stiff. Do you honestly think he’d be able to tackle choreography?
Season 9 of DWTS begins on Monday, September 21.

DWTS’ Steve Wozniak Injured Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Steve Wozniak’s problems have just moved up his leg.
According to E! Online, the Apple co-founder is now dealing with more than just a foot fracture. Earlier this weekend, Wozniak pulled a hamstring during rehearsals.
Although host Tom Bergeron says Steve is “determined to be there on Monday and dance,” one source claims the injured celebrity has been “limping pretty badly.”
So what would this mean for Karina Smirnoff should her partner be permanently sidelined? “The only thing it will impact is if there is one week we were going to have a double elimination and we wouldn’t do that. But we’d still eliminate someone. So if [he] can’t dance this week, we’re still going to knock somebody else out anyway because that’s the way we roll,” Bergeron explained.
