DWTS Week 2 Elimination: Bill Nye The Science Guy Voted Off





Well Bill Nye The Science Guy and Tyne Stecklein gave it their best shot but were eliminated tonight from DWTS. Bill Nye suffered a torn muscle and danced anyway. This is a tough competition. Only week 2 and already serious injuries. Anyway, Bill Nye brings Science back to the forefront and that gives him an A++ in my book. Nice and intelligent man. I'm glad he was cast on this season of Dancing With The Stars.

Fake MJ Hates Blacks

This is one of the many surreal moments on Hollywood that went down on Sunday. An MJ impersonator speaks about his hatred for Black people which causes a heated discussion about Celebrity Worship, The Corporate Agenda, Greed, Self Responsibility and Racial Generalizations.  Warning Strong Language.

Well this might be the first football player in DWTS history to be voted off after the first week. Keyshawn Johnson didn't fair well and fumbled on the dance floor. No harm no foul.

Bill Nye The Science Guy: Will Blind Us With His Science of Dancing

I'm hoping Bill Nye The Science Guy will kick butt and take names on season 17 of DWTS. Anyone who makes science cool to young minds while educating them is OK in my book.

Amber Riley Gets Ready To Get Down on DWTS

I maybe one of the few people who hasn't watched a full episode of GLEE but I'm aware of Amber Riley's singing voice. I hope she has a great time on DWTS and brings the unexpected. It would be cool if we hear her sing...Here is Amber at DWTS rehearsals from earlier in the week.

Charlie Hunnam As Christian Grey Gets Ready To Play Rough

From all reports from fans of Sons Of Anarchy who have met Charlie Hunnam, he has been cordial and very nice. Now it seems Hunnam will excite a legion of new fans who are looking forward to his role as "Christian Grey" in the 50 Shades Of Grey movie. I haven't read the book but I know it has something to do with S/M and sex so I will probably have to watch it for research purposes LOL! One thing for certain Charlie Hunnam takes a great picture. I enjoyed photographing him earlier in the week at Sons Of Anarchy.

Homelessness in 100 Degrees









I shot this series a few weeks ago while covering another story. It was a very hot day and I noticed a person lying in squalor trying to get comfortable in Los Angeles' sweltering heat. When people push for War under the guise of helping other people in far away lands, I just look out my window and wonder why don't we take care of our own? I also wonder what does Syria have that the US corporations want?

Exclusive: Tristan MacManus & KAT Discuss Valerie Harper On DWTS

Due to an allegation of copyright infringement by EMI regarding covering Jared Leto on Hollywood Blvd shooting a music video and making a 40 second news clip of the 30 Seconds To Mars singer directing and starring in said video, KAT TALES TV will no longer be making extended video interviews over 15 minutes. Personally I find the allegation BS but you know how the corporate machine wants to control their products. So this video which ran over 16+minutes was cut into 2 parts. One and two are above. In the videos, Tristan MacManus explains his frustration of being thought of as soft or not demanding enough to his dance partner Valerie Harper.

DWTS Season 17 News: Lisa Remini Dancing Diva


 
You know it is so much fun to wait for hours in 100 degree heat to cover the show that you love as a freelance photographer with no guarantee that anything that you shoot will actually make any money and your competing for sales not only with other agency photographers but with photographers from your same agency. While you are covering your favorite show in an alley way with human and dog feces wafting in the desert heat with little or no breeze, you are wondering "Why do I do DWTS again?" It is for celebs like this.
Lisa Remini uses the Umbrella - ella -ella after leaving rehearsals. Of course she can do whatever she likes, however our job (the photographers) is to cover the show which in turns raising the public interest in it by promoting it. I wonder how Lisa Remini's chances of being in the finals will be if she keeps the Diva attitude up with the Umbrella -ella-ella.
