Tristan MacManus, Val Chmerkovskiy & A Horny KAT

These two are so deliciously hot in so many ways. Here is Tristan MacManus and Val Chmerkovskiy... The Three Way LOL!

Has DWTS Jumped The Shark?

Gleb Savchenko, Sharna Burgess and Henry Byalikov leaving DWTS rehearsals. Three dancers that I love to watch. I took the opportunity to discuss with Henry about some of the main issues fans of Dancing With The Stars have had with the show such as Chaz Bono, unfair pairings, judging controversies and DWTS drama.

DWTS Eliminations: Christina Milian Dips Low In Ratings - Voted Off

Singer Christina Milian was voted off DWTS. The same old same old "low viewer voting combined with the judges' score". Dancing With The Stars is getting a little weird to say the least with Julianne Hough sitting in for a guest judge temporarily while her brother is competing. Why not have Mad Maxism back to judge while Val Chmerkovskiy heads to the finals? Again DWTS proves certain women don't fare well with the fans when it comes to making it to the finals.
Mark Ballas appeared injured at rehearsals lately and Milian looked exhausted Sunday. I never seen her look like that. Hopefully the pair will get some much deserved rest and recuperation as soon as they finish with New York press duties.

DWTS' Brant Daugherty & Peta Murgatroyd Injury Free

Good news for these two, Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd coming out of DWTS rehearsals late night Saturday.

Christina Milian Talks Paris Hilton and Panty Photo Drama

Christina Milian is using her time on DWTS wisely. She has already been in a plethora of pictures with headlights and panty up skirt shots. It's hard having a hot body where people are taking photographs of you all the time. Christina explains it all and her friend Paris Hilton's latest record release party. Later Mark Ballas arrives and he is seen wincing in pain.

Valerie Harper Beats Cancer! Voted Off DWTS

I hope Valerie Harper had the time of her life while on DWTS. I know she couldn't have had a better partner than Tristan MacManus. She gave it her all. And that is all one can do. Valerie Harper is a WINNER in my book!

DWTS Hottie Brant Daugherty SPEAKS

Brant Daugherty has been kind of quiet on his way into rehearsals. Silent and serious. I don't blame him. But I know he has some serious fans that want to know anything that he wants to talk about. He has been burning up the dance floor with pro Peta Murgatroyd who is more than happy to have such a great dance partner. Besides being  an entertaining dancer, Brant takes a mean picture. I mean that in a good way!

Karina Smirnoff Goes Chun-Li

Karina Smirnoff had a million different looks yesterday at DWTS. One of them was her hair twisted in two knots on top of her hair. I thought she was doing a "Miley the virus Cyrus" but it turns out she was doing Chun-Li from the video game Streetfighter.

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.

Valentin Chmerkovskiy: "Dude Where's My Car?"

Valentin Chmerkovskiy forgets where his car is parked after a long day at DWTS rehearsals. After telling him where his car is,  KAT asks Val when he is going to play the violin again?

Keyshawn Johnson and Sharna Burgess: Hot Pairing On The Dance Floor

Sorry for the shaking footage I was trying a new camera apparatus and it didn't quite work. I might have to go back to just duct tape. Anyway, here is Keyshawn Johnson and partner Sharna Burgess arriving to rehearsals yesterday talking about their first dance on DWTS.

DWTS Val Chmerkovskiy Gives Elizabeth Berkley Huge Compliment

Val Chmerkovskiy knows a good partner when he has one. Here is Val On Elizabeth's Berkley's first performance on DWTS.

KAT's Poop Scoop On DWTS Season 17 1st Performances

DWTS Season 17 started with a bang. Some outstanding performances for week 1. It will be a compelling competition. Who stood out and who didn't? Who blew the dance floor away? KAT breaks it down for you.

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.
