Three people that Dancing With the Stars fans will recognize were guests at a huge star-studded birthday bash yesterday for hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. DWTS pro dancer Derek Hough was there and so were former DWTS star dancers Shannon Elizabeth & Kim Kardashian. This makes me wonder how they know the birthday boy. But I’m sure they all had a great time.

On last night’s Emmy Awards red carpet were some of the most glamorous and beautiful divas of reality TV dance ever! They all looked amazing and I love how they are from all the major dance shows. And it’s no accident that I included America’s Best Dance Crew’s host Mario Lopez with the divas…he’s a diva if there ever was one!

Former Dancing With the Stars dancers Kim Kardashian from season 7 and winner of DWTS season 8, Shawn Johnson were together to present an award to the Jonas Brothers last night in the Teen Choice Awards Show.
The show was taped in front of a live audience last night, but will not air until this evening on FOX. Kim looks a bit different since she’s lightened her hair. I rather like it. What do you think?

According to fellow Starked blogger Arieanna, Dina Lohan is rumored to be a part of the Dancing With the Stars season 8 cast. It makes perfect sense, after Kim Kardashian’s foray onto the dance floor last season….
Apparently, when asked if she would be on the show, she commented that she wasn’t allowed to say…but seemed to laugh in a way that hinted at more to the story. And daughter Ali Lohan says that her mom would do great on the show.
How do you feel about Dina Lohan being on the show? Excited? Not impressed? Leave a …read more

The paps caught a photo of Dancing With the Stars veteran Kim Kardashian recently when she was out on the town. She has a new “do” – check out the bangs. I’m not sure if I like her with bangs or not. But the Louboutin shoes are fabulous!
