Reality TV Octomom Kate Gosselin was finally voted off Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday after five weeks of rhythmless robotics that made the tabloid darling one of the most critically-panned hoofers to appear on the show since Master P. Gosselin scored just 15 out of a possible 30 points for a stiff foxtrot this week to The Breakfast Club theme “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” — a performance that judge Bruno Tolini described as “catatonic.”
After a disastrous foxtrot that will likely be the final nail in a coffin filled with chuckle-worthy and robotic performances on the 10th season of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, Monster Mom Kate Gosselin has embarked on a grassroots email campaign to keep her in the ballroom.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy says Kate Gosselin just “doesn’t get” Dancing with the Stars.
In a posting on his TV Guide blog on Monday, the outspoken dancer said the reality Octomom who is currently paired with Maks’ good friend Tony Dovolani, doesn’t understand the purpose of the ABC talent competition.
“I’ve spoken to Kate, and I don’t think she gets the point of this thing yet,” wrote Maks — who is partnered with ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews this season. “The pain on her face says it all, which is unfortunate.”
It wasn’t enough that some Looney Bird Johnson videotaped her naked through a peephole, now ESPN’s Erin Andrews is waltzing into some drama for her turn on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.
In an article titled “Erin Andrews Looks More Ballroom Bimbo, Less Reporter” and published last week, Toronto Sun sports columnist Rosie DiManno bashes the “comely blonde” for her sexed-up image on the TV talent show (where Andrews is paired with Russian Maks Chmerkovskiy), as well as the devastating effects she believes the beautiful vamp role can have on women in the world of sports reporting.
“She’s made a fool out of herself and a sham of her profession….” she writes.
DiManno argues that Erin’s decision to appear as a contestant on the ballroom dancing series harms the reputation of women in sports reporting — who already have their work cut out for them trying to earn respect among their male colleagues.
“I want to grab Andrews by the shoulders and shout: ‘What are you thinking, woman?!’” DiManno wrote. “I’m appalled by the damage she is doing to her profession and her own reputation as a journalist — a term albeit used lightly in the realm of sports,” the column said.
Thoughts? Does the columnist have a point? Erin has plenty of thoughts on DiManno’s blog blast. Check out with the sideline reporter had to say on the subject in her new interview with Sports Illustrated…..
Fortysomething Pamela Anderson may be known for her buxom bust and curvy figure, but the producers of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars have presented the ’90s sex symbol with a lengthy dress code to ensure that none of her –er — ample assets make an unwelcome appearance while the cameras are rolling.
