Last night on ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS, contestants and their dance partners celebrated Halloween through their dance performances! The remaining contestants who competed were David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Rob Kardashian, Carson Kressley, Ricki Lake, JR Martiniex and Hope Solo.
Tonight DANCING WITH THE STARS celebrates Halloween! The show's gone all out, with stars transformed to zombies, ghosts and vampires galore - and the introduction of a team dance, splitting up the stars into two groups for a second score in addition to their regular routines.
Dr. Jennifer Ashton, leading health expert and OB-GYN, and Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry, Ph.D., psychotherapist and relationship expert, have been named co-hosts of 'The Revolution,' ABC Daytime's new daily show about health and lifestyle transformations, it was announced today by Brian Frons, president, Daytime, Disney/ABC Television Group. Dr.
While GLEE is on hiatus until its long-awaited return on November 1 and X-FACTOR was pre-empted and moved around as a result of the World Series games, DANCING WITH THE STARS has kept up the Broadway quotient on prime time TV in the interim in a major way thanks to this week's two-night Great White Way salute featuring Tony-winner and Emmy-winner Kristin Chenoweth. Fan favorites J.R. Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff made their mark with CHICAGO'S sizzling "Hot Honey Rag" and this week's InDepth InterView participant Ricki Lake - along with her partner, show favorite Derek Hough - made a splash with a rollicking "The Lady Is A Tramp" from Frank Loesser's classic score for GUYS & DOLLS, and even Nancy Grace got into the snazzy act with a spirited and jolly "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" from SPAMALOT with her partner Tristan MacManus. Yet, some groups fared less well - Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer failed to find the music or the magic of the night with "The Phantom Of The Opera" and they were sent home on Wednesday as a result (penguin critiques and Cher tweets notwithstanding). And, so, too, did Hope Solo and show-standout Maksim Chmerkovskiy falter with their less than impassioned performance of an outright odd head-scratcher of a quickstep song selection, RENT's "Seasons Of Love". Yet, on the ever-improving side of things reside Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, who managed to bring some JERSEY BOYS-esque swagger to The Four Seasons smash "Walk Like A Man" from the Tony-winning musical revue. Additionally, David Arquette and Kym Johnson ended up somewhere in the middle, with a somewhat tentative treatment of the GREASE warhorse "We Go Together", which still managed to minisculely evoke John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the movie. While some stars certainly shone much brighter than others - J.R. and Ricki undoubtedly seem to be battling it out for top honors - Broadway Week on DANCING WITH THE STARS was generally a resounding success for many concerned. And, that's not even mentioning the spectacular group performance mash-up of "Hey, Big Spender" from SWEET CHARITY and "Money, Money" from CABARET (choreographed by Kevin Maher); Kenny Ortega's specialty number encompassing three famous theatrical standards, specially designed for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL and IN THE HEIGHTS star Corbin Bleu; or - most of all - Kristin Chenoweth's two stupendous star turns; first, singing a song she made famous for a whole new generation alongside Lea Michele on GLEE - the classic Kander & Ebb CABARET's "Maybe This Time"; which was followed by MY FAIR LADY's 'I Could Have Danced All Night' - and, on the second night, performing the title track from her new solo album, SOME LESSONS LEARNED. Broadway stars to dancing stars to reality stars and beyond, Broadway Week on DANCING WITH THE STARS managed to sparkle and shine with panache.
It was Broadway Week - Part 2 last night on the hit ABC TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS and the 'week' came to its end with another performance by Kristin Chenoweth, this time from her latest album - 'Some Lessons Learned'. That wasn't all though - Corbin Bleu, of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL and IN THE HEIGHTS on Broadway fame sang and danced his way through a Kenny Ortega staged medley of Broadway hits from 42nd STREET, WEST SIDE STORY and IN THE HEIGHTS. Want bonus points? Spot Tony-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda in the audience giving Bleu a standing ovation.
Tonight concludes Broadway week for DANCING WITH THE STARS, but not before a show packed with performances from some of Broadway's favorite players and best loved hits.

High praise from his dance partner aside, Kressley revealed for the first time, on 'GMA,' that Trebunskaya was not his first choice for a professional partner. Comparing the process of the show's 13 celebrities being paired with professional dancers to online dating, Kressley said it was Russian dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, paired this season with U.S. soccer star Hope Solo, whom he really wanted to move with on the dance floor.
