Final four celebs named for 'DWTS'"Dancing with the Stars" woke up Tuesday to some bad news, as ABC announced that the long-running series would be cut to one night a week starting this fall. But the show must go on, and that means putting on a happy face and staging what may be the second-to-last results show in series history. ABC cutting 'DWTS' to one night in fall scheduleABC is bringing in some big guns to shake up its 2013-14 schedule, revealing a lineup that the network said reflects its "innovation and stability." As expected, ABC picked up Joss Whedon's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and the spinoff "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland." "S.H.I.E.L.D." will air on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET, launching a night of four new series, while "Wonderland" has the daunting task of battling "The X Factor" and "The Big Bang Theory" on Thursday nights at 8pm. Judges in a generous mood on 'DWTS'To say the judges have been quite stingy on this season's "Dancing with the Stars" is a bit of an understatement. Entering Monday night's semifinals, the three-judge panel only handed out one perfect score all season. That all changed last night, as the judges were handing out 30s like they were giving them away. Judge has a meltdown on 'DWTS'The judging panel on "Dancing With the Stars" reminds me a bit of the celebrities on the '70s version of "Match Game." Bruno Tonioli is the 21st century Charles Nelson Reilly, who peppers his sarcastic wit with enough double entendres to make network censors blush. Sizzling salsas, romantic rumbas on 'DWTS'It was "Latin Night" on Monday's "Dancing with the Stars," and the seven remaining couples took to the floor to perform to a Latin-centric tune. Country singer Kellie Pickler continued her winning ways last night, as her sexy samba earned a 29 from the judges, good enough to win immunity from elimination this week. And the next eliminated 'DWTS' contestant is ...Lady luck has finally run out for Victor Ortiz. The boxer departed "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday night after spending four of the show's five elimination weeks in the dreaded bottom two. Dorothy Hamill's injury withdrawal and fan voting saved Ortiz the first three times, but his technique struggles and low scores finally caught up with him. |
