Heather Morris Gets DWTS Boot, Twitter Gets Very Angry
Nope, that was not a Best Picture moment on Dancing with the Stars last night.
The wrong named was not called out. Heather Morris really was eliminated from the competition, despite having achieved a perfect score just minutes earlier.
WHAT? HUH? HOW?!?
That"s what social media is asking in the wake of this shocker, as documented in the following collection of Tweets…
1. WTH?!?
Morris and Maksim Chmerkovskiy did the Rumba to “Waterfalls” by TLC, garnered the first 40/40 of the season… and then got sent home.
2. SHOCKED
This Tweet sums up how Twitter in general felt about the outcome.
3. Please Explain
Might there have been backlash because Morris was overly qualified?
4. North Korea is Running Nuclear Tests?
Whatever. This is proof that the world really is in a precarious position.
5. Peace Out!
Don’t worry, Heather. You’re not alone.
6. The Baseball Guy is Still There?
Voters, please. This is a travesty.

"DWTS" Star Sharna Burgess Defends Bonner Bolton, Digs Him (VIDEO)
Sharna Burgess says pro bull rider Bonner Bolton made an innocent mistake when he nearly grabbed her crotch, but make no mistake about it … she digs her “Dancing with the Stars” partner. Sharna came on “TMZ Live” to defend Bonner, who…
"DWTS" Bull Rider Pulls Crotch Grab (VIDEO)
Professional bull rider Bonner Bolton knows how to rope ‘em in … but his move on “Dancing with the Stars” with partner Sharna Burgess may have crossed the line. Cameras caught Bonner getting handsy below the belt during Monday’s season…
Bonner Bolton Gropes Sharna Burgess on DWTS: Watch! Squirm!
Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess performed the Cha Cha on Monday night to help kick off Dancing with the Stars Season 24.
The professional bull rider and his partner displayed obvious chemistry on the dance floor, despite earning a a combined score of only 22 points from the judges…
… but it was an incident backstage that has everyone talking.
As Erin Andrews waited to talk to Nick Viall and the other contestants sat around behind the scenes, cameras caught Bolton pretty clearly pulling a Donald Trump:
He grabbed Burgess by the crotch!
Sharna proceeded to place Bolton"s hand on her leg instead, but the awkward damage had already been done.
At least on the Internet.
This photo, for example, will live forever in infamy.
“I was telling her before we started tonight, ‘I can’t look at you for too long. I might get distracted. That’s why I might miss some of my steps,"” Bolton told People Magazine after the show, not helping matters and adding:
“She’s obviously beautiful.”
Burgess also acknowledged the "really obvious chemistry" between the partners, but said she is trying to remain "professional."
That could be challenging if Bolton keeps making unwanted advances.
We say that in jest. We assume this was a simple mistake.
But you can watch the clip and decide for yourself:

DWTS Flashback: Kim Kardashian Fails Booty 101
If Kim Kardashian was given the option of erasing one video from all of history, you think she"d choose the Kim Kardashian sex tape.
But we think you"d be mistaken.
That Ray J-directed amateur porn has earned millions of dollars for the reality star, while the footage below has earned her nothing but derision and embarrassment.
As Dancing with the Stars Season 24 gets set to premiere on ABC, we thought it would be fun to flashback for a few minutes and remember when Kim was actually a contestant back on Season 7.
We understand if you forgot.
She only lasted longer than two other competitors.
And we knew Kim was in trouble when she told partner Mark Ballas that she wasn"t even confident in the Mambo, a dance that mostly just asked Kardashian to shake her world famous rear end around the stage.
"Everyone"s gonna expect this, like, sexy thing and I"m really not," Kim confessed during a pre-taped interview package with Ballas, adding at the time:
"My biggest challenge with the mambo is just shaking my butt. Everyone thinks I know how and I just really don"t. I think I need, like, Booty 101."
Alas, Kim would not have time to study up.
She was thrust into the spotlight and asked to work that butt in front of the judges and millions of viewers watching at home.
How did she fare? Click PLAY and see for yourself:

Laurie Hernandez Breaks Down on DWTS: Watch! Be Inspired!
Laurie Hernandez is only 16 years old.
We just had to write that out in order to believe it.
Because you would not be blamed, after watching this gymnast perform on Dancing with the Stars, for thinking she"s about four decades older than that.
Such is the sort of maturity on display each Monday night this fall, as Hernandez achieved a pair of perfect scores during Week 10 of the dancing competition.
But what everyone is talking about today is less Laurie"s dancing ability and more the tears she shed after completing a Foxtrot last night.
Joined by partner Val Chmerkovskiy, Hernandez said ahead of time that she dedicated the routine to her grandmother, who recently passed away after a battle with Alzheimer"s Disease.
Nearly as soon as she stopped moving and shaking and processed the moment, standing in front of the judges on Monday, Hernandez simply broke down.
No one could blame her.
"I just went out there and just gave it my all, I kind of look at dance as a way to express my emotions and my feelings," Laurie told E! News after the show.
"Instead of having to say anything I was able to dance my way through it. It was kind of like a way for me to let it go. I feel like a totally different person. I feel like I"ve grown up a couple of years. It"s been amazing. I"ve met some amazing people including big bro over here.
"This journey has been incredible. I"m never going to forget it."

DWTS: Who Will Win? Who Will Definitely NOT Win?
The new cast of Dancing with the Stars has been announced.
It includes a washed-up rapper, a washed-up politician and many washed-up actresses.
It also includes the eventual winner.
Who will take home the Mirror Ball Trophy? We"re here to break it all down, starting with the participant most likely to be voted out on Week 1…
1. Rick Perry and Emma Slater
Perry is a polarizing politician and he’s 66 years old. So he won’t have many viewers on his side nor will he have youth and athleticism on his side. In short, the former Texas Governor’s chances of advancing beyond one week are poorer than his ability to remember which three federal government agencies he would eliminate. ODDS 10,000-1.
2. Marilu Henner and Derek Hough
We don’t want to bet against Hough. The guy has won it all six times. But Henner is 64 years old. As far as we know, she has no dancing experience nor does she ever trend on Twitter. ODDS: 35-1.
3. Maureen McCormick and Artem Chigvintsev
We know she’s good at taking a football to the nose. But what will that mean on the dance floor? Never underestimate the affection that still exists for the Brady Bunch, meaning McCormick will be a fan favorite. ODDS: 19-1.
4. Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold
Football players have quite the winning history on Dancing with the Stars, from Emmitt Smith to Hines Ward. We could easily see Johnson following in those champions’ footsteps. ODDS: 5-1.
5. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Allison Holker
Babyface can sing. Like, REALLY sing. We know he has rhythm and can feel a beat. But he isn’t Britney Spears. He’s not known for moving and shaking and he doesn’t have a young fan base. ODDS: 13-1.
6. Amber Rose and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
This is a tough one. You know Rose will get the word out to vote for her. She has 12.2 million Instagram followers. She also used to be a stripper. This means she has some moves, but may also be a bit polarizing. ODDS: 8-1.

Cheryl Burke: Ian Ziering Was the WORST PARTNER EVER on DWTS!
Yowza. Cheryl Burke just called Ian Ziering a gigantic D*CK!
Alright, that"s not an exact quote, but it"s the basic takeaway.
The Dancing With the Stars pro didn"t bother mincing words about the hatred she harbors for her former dance partner while speaking with Matt Weiss and Theo Von on the "Allegedly" podcast.
When asked who her worst DWTS partner was, she didn"t skip a beat before saying, "My least favorite would be Ian Ziering."
Burke was partnered with Ziering during season four of the show, and despite their differences, the pair made it to the semi-finals.
So why did she loathe Mr. Beverly Hills 90210 so much? Well, first of all, there"s that pukey name.
"The fact that his name"s not EE-an and it"s AYE-an makes me want to throw up," she started. But she was far from done skewering the man.
When the host chimed in that Ziering had pissed him off on The Apprentice, Burke told him that was simply his everyday persona.
"That"s the true colors that they didn"t show on Dancing With the Stars," she said.
"Think of spending time with that for like eight to 10 hours a day, seven days a week for three months," Burke added.
The dancer confessed that week after week, she hoped to get voted out of the competition, and even aired her grievances to the show"s producers.
"It made me want to slit my wrists," she said.
"I was, like, crying to executives. I was, like, is there any way to please to just eliminate us? They"re like, we can"t. We can"t do that and I swear, every time I asked, we just kept going. We would last till the end."
Hot motherloving damn. Why can"t all interviews be like this??
As for this year, rumor has it Mischa Barton is the worst star to work with. Guess there"s one every season.
Listen to the clip below and hear for yourself. The full podcast will be released on iTunes on Tuesday.

Mischa Barton: Rude! Self-Entitled! Worst DWTS Celeb EVER!
If you thought it was just nerves making her stiff, you are sorely mistaken.
Rumor has it that Mischa Barton is the most unpleasant participant to ever appear on Dancing With The Stars, and that is saying something.
Barton “is just not coming off as a nice person,” sources from the LA-based set tell Radar Online.
“It is really quite unfortunate because when she first came on the show, members of the cast and crew said they were hoping that she was going to be the person that they used to love watching on TV.
“They were actually really excited to meet her.”
On Monday, Barton faced elimination alongside Doug Flutie and Geraldo Rivera.
When Rivera was voted off the show, “everyone hugged him, except for Mischa,” a source pointed out.
“Misha had practically no response at all to Geraldo getting kicked off.”
DWTS is a team-driven show where contestants and professionals spend hours together, bonds are formed. So when people noticed that Barton didn’t join everyone to see Rivera off, “all that did was add to the feeling on set that Misha does not want to be there, and she just wants to take the money and run,” the source said.
“Some people are claiming that Mischa is the most self-entitled and rude celebrity that the employees of the show have ever had to work with! She does not discriminate who she is rude to either.”
This wouldn’t surprise me in the least, as I’ve watched Barton’s expressions and body language since the March 21st premiere, and she looks like she’d rather be anywhere else.

DWTS Cast: Insane Salaries Revealed!!!
Tonight, season 22 premieres on ABC, and you can bet that audiences at home will watch Dancing With The Stars thinking, “how much do these celebrities get paid?”
The longer a celeb contestant can stay on the show, the more money they stand to make.
Last season, mirror ball trophy winner Bindi Iriwin had a base salary of $ 125, according to documents obtained by People.
Weeks 3 and 4 saw her make $ 10,000, with each subsequent week seeing a compensation increase of $ 5,000.
Week 9 earned her an addition $ 30,000, and weeks 10 and 11 paid out $ 50,000 per week.
That…is a lot of money.
This season, Radar Online took a look at updated contracts for the cast, which includes Mischa Barton, Doug Flutie, Jodie Sweetin, Geraldo Rivera, Ginger Zee, Antonio Brown, Wanya Morris, Von Miller, Nye Dimarco, Marla Maples, Paige VanZant and Kim Fields.
“At least one celebrity was offered a baseline of $ 125,000 for the rehearsals, two weeks on the air before the first elimination, and an appearance at the finale,” the documents read.
“The document claims that beyond that point, contestants who manage to stick around get an extra week of pay for every week they are not eliminated. The grand total if they make it to the finals? It’s a potential $ 345,000!”
The show’s pitch letter brags about how much publicity the contestant will drum up by being part of a “national phenomenon,” and that he or she would be a fool not to accept.
Dancing With The Stars season 22 premieres tonight at 8pm on ABC.

Bindi Irwin"s DWTS Win: Dad"s Strength "Is What Keeps Me Going"
It was a well-deserved win.
Bindi Irwin and her dance partner, Derek Hough emerged victorious on last night’s Dancing With The Stars, something Irwin will not soon forget.
“I am so speechless right now! I can’t believe it!” Irwin told Us Magazine when the showed ended. “The glitter all over the floor may be from my mind just exploding into glitter!
“I am so honored and so blessed to be here. And this entire experience has felt like the most beautiful gift.
Talk turned to Irwin’s late father, Steve, who died in 2006.
“I couldn’t even imagine if Dad was here right now!
“Honestly, I hope that he’d be proud of me and I hope that I’m able to carry on in his footsteps and make sure that his legacy lives on, because his strength is what keeps me going.
“And life is filled with so many challenges and beautiful moments and to be able to share them with my family and to be able to share them with the ones that you love the most, that’s what’s the most important thing in life.”
Irwin took to Instagram after her win, and summed up her experience on the competition.
“I am speechless,” Iriwin wrote. This is a gift and I can’t tell you how much love I have for all of your support throughout this beautiful journey. My life has been changed.”
Kim Zolciak"s Emotional Return To DWTS: All The Feels
Everyone loves a comeback, especially after a health crisis.
Back in September, Kim Zolciak was forced to withdraw from Dancing With The Stars after suffering a stroke.
Zolciak then underwent emergency heart surgery and recuperated in Atlanta, before announcing that she would appear in the finale show.
Last night, the reality star and partner Tony Dovolani danced the samba, an I Dream of Jeanie-theme number they never got to perform.
After, Zolciak let the emotions take over. Friends caught footage of her shaking from the adrenaline of her performance.
“Why are you crying?” a friend asked off camera in an Instagram post.
“Crazy moment, like for real,” Zolciak said, shaking from the adrelanaline rush.
“I’m so blessed to be here.”
Zolciak missed her twins second birthday for the performance, but she promised them she’d be home in a jiffy to celebrate.
“Thank you God for another year!!” Zolciak wrote. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful twins!! I can’t believe they turn 2 today … And it’s the same day I return to DWTS!I feel so incredibly blessed!
“Overwhelmed with emotion today!! LIVE LIFE EVERYDAY TO THE FULLEST! Kane and Kaia I love you more than words could ever describe! Cake and ice cream all day everyday when I get home!!!”
