After singing their hearts out for panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora, Goldfish and Gumball stood by side as host Nick Cannon announced Goldfish was the winner. Before Goldfish revealed herself, the Gumball had to take it off and turned out to be award-winning actor Scott Porter.
When Nick asked Scott, “Who knew you could do what you do?” the actor replied, “Not even me until maybe tonight. I don’t have any legitimate training. I started singing on street corners in Orlando, Florida when I was going to high school. I auditioned for two straight years for Disney and couldn’t book a role. I didn’t know I could do this until tonight, but I’m so glad I did.”

“The Masked Singer” winner Vanessa Hudgens admits she didn’t necessarily play the hiding game: At least among her friends and fans, they figured out it was her under the Goldfish costume rather quickly.

Hudgens beat out Scott Porter, who had performed this season as Gumball, to win the “Masked Singer” trophy. Coincidentally, both Hudgens and Porter previously starred together in 2009’s “Bandslam.”
Despite their history, Hudgens said the production kept her completely in the dark as to who her competitors were. “I was so invested every step of the way,” she said. “I was trying really hard to...

Wednesday night was the end of the road for not one, but two “Masked Singer” contestants, marking the first double elimination of the season. And so, fans had to say goodbye to both Koala and Lovebird.
The theme of the night was “Transformers,” with contestants singing songs that were featured in the movie franchise. For Lovebird, that meant a performance of the Goo Goo Dolls’ “All That You Are,” which appeared on the “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” soundtrack.
After that, Koala performed “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, which was part of the “Bumblebee” soundtrack.
In the end, Lovebird was the first to be eliminated, and was unmasked to reveal former “The Bachelor” star Colton Underwood. And, apparently, his appearance on the show has been a long time coming.

There’s a reason to watch the New York Jets again, and it’s not to see a train wreck. The Jets swung a dramatic trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a Super Bowl champion and four-time NFL Mvp in 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, in the hope of ending a 12-season playoff drought and a skid of seven straight losing seasons. Fans could see Rodgers in action with Gang Green when the NFL preseason starts Thursday, August 3 at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, where the Jets face the Cleveland Browns in primetime on NBC. Two days later, coach Don Coryell and players Rondé Barber, Chuck Howley, Joe Klecko, Darrelle Revis, Ken Riley, Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas and DeMarcus Ware will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a ceremony Saturday, August 5, on ESPN and NFL Network.

Neo Studios has partnered with New World Distribution for the upcoming docuseries “Life After,” set to premiere Oct. 18 on Prime Video.
Directed by Nick Ruff, the eight-part docuseries follows 12 retired NFL players as they face a new chapter of their lives following their professional football careers. Each episode of “Life After” spotlights a former NFL player, including DeMarcus Ware, Spice Adams, Thomas Q. Jones, Bear Pascoe, Al Baker, Justin Forsett, Jeff Allen, Andrew Hawkins, Domenik Hixon, Sherrod Martin, Daniel Wilcox and Myron Rolle.

Make your vote count this election — and on “Dancing with the Stars.” The show will have a double elimination on Monday, Nov. 2, aka Election Day eve.
ABC is dubbing the episode “Double Elimination Night — Use Your Vote!”, encouraging fans to vote for their faves to avoid the feared double axing and, oh yeah, for the the future of our country. After next week’s episode, there will be nine couples left, so we’ll get down to seven couples by the end of the Nov. 2 episode.
See Here are ‘Dancing with the Stars” theme nights for October
The episode will presumably be theme-less — unless you count double elimination as a theme — as executive producer and showrunner Andrew Llinares has previously said that “Dancing” will do theme nights every other week. The Oct. 26 episode is Villains Night, which would make Nov. 9 the next theme night. Tyra Banks mentioned Villains Night on Monday’s episode,...

“Dancing with the Stars” premieres Monday night, but fans of the show who have made their predictions here in our predictions center already think they know who will win. Country singer Lauren Alaina is the odds-on favorite, according to the combined forecasts of our users, followed closely by Fifth Harmony pop singer Ally Brooke. If we’re right, they’ll have plenty to sing about this fall.
Alaina currently gets leading odds of 13/5. She rose to fame on “American Idol,” so on paper that makes her a lot like Kellie Pickler, who won the Mirrorball trophy in Season 16. Brooke follows close behind with 3/1 odds, and probably for similar reasons. As a singer from a popular girl group, she resembles Season 10 victor Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls, as well as Brooke’s former Fifth Harmony bandmate Normani, who finished third in Season 24.

Is the 27th season of the Dancing with the Stars TV show on ABC keeping time with the music? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether the TV show Dancing with the Stars is cancelled or renewed for season 28.

Although the ratings have dropped over time, fans shouldn't worry too much that ABC will cancel its Dancing with the Stars TV show. It still performs well for the network, and is probably far less expensive to produce than some lower-rated scripted dramas. Still, the day may come when they decide to give the format a rest, so we're keeping an eye on the Nielsen ratings just in case. Will Dancing with the Stars be cancelled or renewed for season 28? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

My, what a strange season of Dancing With the Stars it has been.
Before the reality competition kicked off its 27th season back in September, I took a stab at predicting how the weekly eliminations would shake out — and boy, was I so wrong. (A Juan Pablo Di Pace/DeMarcus Ware final two? That’s something out of an alternate universe.)
While frontrunners like Tinashe and Juan Pablo were eliminated earlier than expected, fan favorites like Grocery Store Joe and Bobby Bones defied the odds and survived each cut, resulting in one of the show’s most unpredictable seasons ever.

Gold Derby users were ahead of the curve when predicting the “Dancing with the Stars” season 27 Mirror Ball Trophy. Evanna Lynch has been the front-runner to win since week six, when the female celebs were still dropping like flies and it looked like there might be an all-male finals. But Lynch outlasted previous Mirror Ball favorites like DeMarcus Ware and Juan Pablo Di Pace, and now the “Harry Potter” actress is still positioned to win. But does she deserve to win? Well, that’s another story.
According to the combined predictions of hundreds of Gold Derby users, Lynch gets leading odds of 5/4 to prevail, but that lead is far from safe. That only translates to about a 44% chance of victory, and teenage Disney Channel star Milo Manheim is breathing down her neck with odds of 13/8, or a 38% chance of winning. It’s neck-and-neck between those two while radio personality Bobby Bones...

They say hindsight is 20/20, which is good because our “Dancing with the Stars” foresight should have gotten its eyes checked back in September. It’s always tough to know who is out front to win the Mirror Ball Trophy before anyone has set foot on stage, but Gold Derby users have a decent track record of picking the top contenders sight unseen. Not so in season 27. This time our initial forecasts did a face-plant on the ballroom floor.
Give us some credit, though. In season 25 we correctly predicted Jordan Fisher and Lindsey Stirling as the first and second place finishers before the season even started. And in the shortened “Athletes” season we were right that Adam Rippon would win before the competition got underway. So perhaps we’re to be forgiven that none of our top four predicted contenders at the beginning of this season match the actual top four...

Witney Carson, Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess and Keo Motsepe are the four pros in the “Dancing with the Stars” final. Three of them, Bersten, Burgess and Motsepe, are seeking their first win, but a victory for two of them, Burgess and Motsepe, would be very, very sweet after some tough, long and unlucky roads.
Burgess is by far the most overdue of any pro still awaiting their first Mirrorball trophy. A pro since Season 16 and the only female pro this season who hasn’t won, she has three runner-up placements — Nick Carter (Season 21), James Hinchcliffe (Season 23) and Josh Norman (Season 26) — and one third-place finish, with Noah Galloway in Season 20. She may have won in any other season with these people — and even Charlie White, who had to settle for fifth place in Season 18 while the show pimped his ice dancing partner Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy — but she had the...

“Dancing with the Stars” fans flooded Gold Derby with their outraged reactions after the elimination of the show’s highest-scoring contestant during the Semi-Finals: “Fuller House” star Juan Pablo Di Pace was eliminated in fifth place, tied with Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile who was sent home at the same time in a double elimination. Our readers thought it was “ridiculous,” a “debacle,” an “injustice,” “not acceptable” and it “really sucks” — but tell us how you really feel.
Our poll results reflect the ire of readers’ comments. A whopping 93% of fans thought Di Pace was robbed of a spot in the finals, compared to only 7% who thought he deserved to be eliminated. And a resounding 88% of respondents said it was the worst elimination of the season, far worse than the surprise ousters of Tinashe (9%) or DeMarcus Ware (2%).

This has been a weird season of “Dancing with the Stars” all around, from the shocking longevity of Joe Amabile and Bobby Bones to a number of eliminations we didn’t see coming. But the most surprising eliminations happened to befall celebrities of color, leaving the upcoming finale without much diversity. How did we end up with #FinalsSoWhite?
“DWTS” certainly has a diverse history. Out of the past 26 Mirror Ball Trophy winners, almost half of them (12) are nonwhite. But this season has been on an unusual course. It started with an exodus of female contestants: the first five ousters in a row were women, which was unprecedented. One of those was R&B singer Tinashe, who was sent home in 10th place despite being one of the judges’ favorite contestants.

“If you’re not in the finals, I’m going to go home and pickle my walnuts!” said “Dancing with the Stars” judge Len Goodman during the Semi-Finals after Juan Pablo Di Pace‘s second flawless performance of the night. I’m not sure what that means, exactly, but it didn’t sound good. Of course, none of the judges thought Di Pace actually would be eliminated, so after giving him two perfect scores they were astonished when he was indeed voted out of the competition. Watch his shocking ouster above.
“There’s no justice here!” Goodman protested. But was Di Pace’s ouster the worst of the season? It’s not the only whopper we’ve seen in what has been one of the most unpredictable competitions in recent “DWTS” history.

We’re just one week away from crowning the season 27 Mirror Ball champion on “Dancing with the Stars.” The semifinals on Monday night, November 12, decided who would advance to the finale episode, and who would get the axe right at the home stretch. Did the right celebs make it through? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
This season has been one of the show’s most topsy-turvy with surprise eliminations — Tinashe! DeMarcus Ware! — and of course with Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile, who has had an unprecedented run, surviving week after week despite more last-place scores than anyone else in “DWTS” history. The “Bachelor in Paradise” fan-favorite entered the top six against radio personality Bobby Bones, “Fuller House” actor Juan Pablo Di Pace, “Harry Potter” star Evanna Lynch, Disney Channel actor Milo Manheim and model Alexis Ren.

The Dancing With the Stars season 27 competition is getting down to the wire. Week eight, the semi-finals, has several fan-favorite couples still in the running for the mirrorball trophy and at this point in the competition where there are six couples left, it could be anybody's to take home. Last week's Country Night saw John Schneider and pro partner Emma Slater get the boot, as well as DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold. Harry Potter's Evanna Lynch and pro dance partner Keo Motsepe were the last to be called safe, despite getting a perfect 30 from judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. The Potterheads will need to come out to support the actress best known for playing Luna Lovegood if they want to...

Joe Amabile isn’t a favorite of the judges on “Dancing with the Stars” — and that’s putting it mildly — but he did get his best score of the season on Country Night. He did need a little help to do it, though. His team dance with DeMarcus Ware, Alexis Ren and Juan Pablo Di Pace received 9s from Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli and an 8 from Len Goodman for a total of 26 out of 30. Unfortunately for them, the judges thought their rival team was better, and so did an overwhelming majority of our readers. Scroll down to see the complete poll results.

After crushing the “Dancing with the Stars” YouTube plays for three straight weeks, Milo Manheim has been dethroned in Week 7. You can probably guess who roped in more views for Country Night and why.
Again, some caveats:
1. Needless to say, not everyone who watches a contestant’s dance on YouTube is voting and vice versa.
2. Not every star or dance is created equal. Some people already come in with major notoriety and a fan base, which could boost views. Some pros have a bigger fan base than the stars they’re teaching. Some people accrue fans as the season progresses. Sometimes a performance is just flat-out amazing or a complete hot mess or meme-worthy that everyone is going to be Googling it the next day so they don’t have Fomo.
3. These are the plays as of press time, so they will have changed by the time you finish reading this sentence.

Country Night on “Dancing with the Stars” ended with a surprise double elimination. According to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users, Joe Amabile and Alexis Ren were the likeliest contestants to be sent home, but instead it was John Schneider and DeMarcus Ware. However, our readers were only half-outraged by that outcome. Scroll down to our complete poll results.
Ware was the bigger shocker. He’s a former NFL star, and football players have a storied history on “DWTS,” including four past Mirror Ball Trophy champions. And at first it looked like Ware would follow in those footsteps. He started the season at the top of the judges’ leaderboard, and while he lost some ground after that he was always well liked by the panel. He was well liked by our readers too: a whopping 89% thought he was “robbed,” compared to only 11% who thought he deserved to go.

Not even Monday’s double elimination could take him down. Now he’s in the semifinals, which means he’s one week away from the final. Can he actually make it there?
Since there is a planned five-person final this season, Joe has a greater chance of getting to the last week. He only has to survive one more elimination next week, which he has proven time and time again he can do regardless of what his score is. Save for Week 6, he’s been on the bottom of the leaderboard every week and only has a season average of 18.7. No one has made it this far with an average that hasn’t cracked 20 points. But Bachelor Nation has come through...

I wish “Dancing with the Stars” knew how to quit Joe Amabile. The “Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise” reality star known to his fans as Grocery Store Joe isn’t going anywhere, even after the double elimination on Country Night. But while he survived yet another cut, he just achieved an unfortunate milestone: he’s the first contestant ever to receive seven last-place scores in one season, breaking his tie with Bill Engvall who finished last six times in season 17. Amabile could add an eighth low score during next week’s semifinals. And maybe a ninth if he advances beyond that.
There were actually two dances on Country Night, an individual dance between the celebs and their partners and a team dance. Both of Joe’s routines were the lowest scored, so that technically gives him eight last-place scores this season already. But since it’s the combined score from...

With one week until the “Dancing with the Stars” semifinals, the remaining eight couples performed one unlearned dance style and one team routine for Country Night before facing the first double elimination of the season. With the competition so tight, this season has proved that the judges’ scores can only take you so far.
Evanna Lynch was the belle of the ballroom, earning a combined 59 out of 60 points for her two dances, making her the top scorer of the night. Alexis Ren, Juan Pablo Di Pace, and Milo Manheim also performed perfect or near-perfect routines, cementing themselves as the best dancers left in the competition along with Evanna.
Meanwhile, the bottom scores of the season, Bobby Bones and Joe Amabile, continued to prove the naysayers wrong as they once again escaped elimination. Instead, it was lights out for John Schneider and DeMarcus Ware as they became the first male celebs to get the boot.

I’ll admit, the sudden showmance between “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Alexis Ren and her pro partner Alan Bersten has been hard to swallow. After a few weeks of their presumed-platonic partnership the show teased a potential attraction between them on Disney Night. Then Ren revealed she had feelings for Bersten on Halloween Night. Then they went horseback riding together on Country Night. Yes, horseback riding.
The whole thing feels a little, shall we say, manufactured? From week to week their clip packages seem to be following the dramatic arc of a TV show, not the organic progression of a relationship. Bersten even told her in their climactic Country Night clip, “I am falling for you.” The thing is, while we thought this showmance might backfire on them in the viewer votes and we knew they might have a deficit of viewer support after they landed in the bottom...

We knew there was a double elimination coming on “Dancing with the Stars” on Country Night, but we didn’t see this one coming. Despite the frequent success of football players on the show — including four past Mirror Ball champions — Super Bowl winner DeMarcus Ware fumbled the ball and was sent home with John Schneider in a tie for seventh place. And yet that came on the night he also got his highest scores ever. Did he really deserve to be sent home?
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t as enamored of Ware as the judges were this season. I thought the reputation of NFL stars went to their heads, resulting in some scores that were higher than his dances merited. For that reason I’m not entirely surprised he was tackled by “DWTS” viewers, but I did think he had enough audience support to carry him farther than this,...
