The hit ABC reality show Dancing with the Stars cast off yet another celebrity contestant on Tuesday night, leaving three couples who will compete next week in the DWTS Final Round.  The eliminated couple was a stunning shock because of their consistently high scores.

It was assumed that Mya & Dmitry Chaplin and Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough would fly through to the finals.  After performing three dance numbers during Monday night’s show, it seemed clear that the final week would be a head-to-head competition between these dynamic partners.

The bottom two couples, Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson and Kelly Osbourne & Louis van Amstel, had continued to remain viable because of their significant fan bases.  Both celebrities clearly have won the hearts of the nation.

Donny faltered with two of his three performances last night, while Kelly seemed to be gaining confidence and momentum.  According to the judges, this was her most consistent week of the competition.

In a shocking twist, Joanna Krupa was eliminated.  Going on to dance in the finals will be Mya, Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne.

It was elimination night on the hit ABC reality show Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday, November 10.  As many suspected, the bottom three celebrities were Donny Osmond, Kelly Osbourne and Aaron Carter.

When all the dust settled and after viewers were treated to performances by Michael Buble and Britain’s Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle, it was announced that Aaron Carter and his professional partner Karina Smirnoff received the fewest votes and were eliminated.

The final four contestants will compete on Monday, November 16.  Three will go on to the finals.  Remaining couples are Mya & Dmitry Chaplin, Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough, Donny Osbourne & Kym Johnson and Kelly Osbourne & Louis van Amstel.

Check out the elimination video and see Susan Boyle’s performance below.

Like many high profile couples, the time has apparently come for Julianne Hough and her country singing boyfriend Chuck Wicks to take a break.  The celebrity pair mutually decided that they need some time apart.

The two will still uphold their obligations this evening at the Country Music Association Awards.  Chuck with be interviewing on the red carpet for Entertainment Tonight and the lovely Miss Julianne will be a presenter.

They initially met through fellow country singer Brad Paisley while touring with the star.  It only took a few weeks of dating for the two to start talking about marriage.  Julianne said, “The minute we met it was perfect.”

Julianne, a professional dancer, has taken time away from Dancing With The Stars to test the waters as a country singer.  With the split, it should be interesting to see if she goes back to her dancing roots in Los Angeles or sticks it out in Nashville.

Who knows—maybe a little time away will be just what they need and they will reunite and walk down that aisle together.

Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough earned a perfect 30 last night on Dancing With The Stars for their Futuristic Paso Doble.  The judges called the choreography brilliant.

Krupa, who appears in the December issue of Playboy, laments the fact that she did the photo shoot before her stint on DWTS.  She says she is in the best shape of her life after the grueling dance schedule.

The couple landed in second spot after their two dances.  Leading the pack with an impressive 59 of of 60 are Mya and Dmitry Chaplin.

Check out Joanna and Derek below.

Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough won the night on the hit ABC reality show Dancing With The Stars on Monday.  Their waltz earned them 26 points and their mambo marathon victory gave them the top score of the evening with a combined 36 points.

Hovering at the bottom the the leaderboard are Michael Ervin, Louis Vito, and Melissa Joan Hart.  With two contestants going home tonight, it should be interesting to see what happens.

The first dancer to be eliminated will be based upon viewers votes that were cast last night.  The remaining bottom two pairs will be pitted against each other in a dance-off that will be judged by Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli.

The last two standing in the mambo marathon were Krupa and Hough.  Check out their hot moves below.

The ABC hit reality show Dancing With The Stars revealed yet another elimination during Tuesday night’s show.  The couples in the bottom four slots this week were not the usual suspects.  In fact, each of them has previously been at the top of the leaderboard.

Hanging in suspense and in jeapardy were Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough, Aaron Carter & Karina Smirnoff, Melissa Joan Hart & Mark Ballas and Natalie Coughlin & Alec Mazo.

In the end, it was the Olympic swimmer Coughlin who got the boot.  She had shown grace and poise during her run on the show but the judges hammered away on her each week regarding her inability to get into the character, especially in a romantic context.

The 27-year-old was gracious in defeat.  View more photos and the elimination video below.

Kelly Osbourne was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last night after the live broadcast of the hit ABC show Dancing With The Stars. The foot injury occurred at the end of her paso doble with Louis van Amstel, and Kelly underwent an X-ray and MRI to check the extent of the damage.

Osbourne and her pro partner performed to one of Ozzy Osbourne’s tunes, Crazy Train.  At the end of the dance number, Kelly landed in a planned slide and in the process banged her foot on the floor.  The buckle on her shoe came sharply in contact with her foot and caused immediate pain.

Tom Bergeron announced that during the group dance, Kelly would be dancing without her high heels because of a slight foot injury.  So used to being elevated when she dances with her partner, she could be seen standing on tip toes in her bare feet to reach the proper height – see photo below.

Kelly has not yet ‘tweeted’ about the injury.  We’ll keep an eye on her Twitter page for any updates.  It seems likely, however, that DWTS will let this be a cliff hanger until tonight, when Bergeron can lead with the information during the elimination show.

If you are keeping score on this season of the hit ABC reality show Dancing With the Stars, you know that Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his partner Debi Mazar got the boot last week.  Two remaining dancers were actually quite happy to be rid of “the drama”.  Their relief turned out to be short lived because Maks will be back next week….at least temporarily.

Derek Hough is ill with the flu and the producers of DWTS have recalled Maks to cover for the ailing pro.  He stepped back in on Thursday to assist celebrity contestant Joanna Krupa.

Not so pleased with this new state of affairs are Maksim’s ex-fiance Karina Smirnoff and her celeb partner Aaron Carter.   According to Carter, the tension on the set had been strained.  After the departure of Debi and Maks, Aaron told Usmagazine that “the energy has definitely gotten a lot better.  We have the opportunity now to focus on the dancing without the drama.”

Hough managed a few comments on his Twitter page about his condition.  He ‘tweeted’, “had a temperature of 104…Had an IV in my arm for 2 hrs.  Maks is steppin up for me helpin jo.”

We’ve included more pics below, including  one of  Hough that was taken as he left a three hour medical appointment on Thursday.  Chances are we’ll be seeing other DWTS performers dropping like flies now that the bug has been unleashed by Hough on the set.

ABC’s hit Monday night show Dancing with the Stars lost a celebrity through the elimination process and another celebrity due to injury during the Wk 3 results show on October 6, 2009.  The first revelation was that politician and former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay withdrew due to significant foot problems.

Delay performed on Monday night against his doctors wishes and knew immediately after the performance that he had made a mistake.  Tom has been diagnosed with stress fractures in both feet.  He had ice packs on the tops of each foot during the show and is also using a bone stimulator machine.

Tom and dance partner Cheryl Burke didn’t fair well with the judges on Monday, landing in second to last place with a score of 15 and waited patiently to see if he would get eliminated through the normal process.  When it was announced that he was safe for another week, co-host Tom Bergeron made the announcement that Delay was stepping down on live television.

The eliminated celebrity turned out to be Debi Mazar and her pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.  Their Monday night Samba earned them a score of 17 .

Also at the bottom of the leaderboard this week were Michael Irvin with 14 and Chuck Liddell with 17 but both celebs were voted back for another week by their fan base.

Paula Abdul had a ring-side seat at the show last night.  Show host Bergeron sat down next to the former Idol judge and chatted it up – see video here.

View more photos below and check out video of Mazar, DeLay and their pro partners during their guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

Former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and cover girl Kathy Ireland and her dancing partner Tony Dovolani were the third couple to get the boot on ABC reality show Dancing with the Stars.  Last weeks results show sent two celebrities packing in a  double elimination.

Ireland is just one of a long string of models who have been eliminated from DWTS during either the first or second week each season.  The 46-year-old said, “I wouldn’t change a minute of it.  To be able to work with Tony the past six weeks has changed my life forever.  I can do so many things I never thought I could do.  I feel like the biggest winner because I got him as my teacher.”

Also in the bottom three, but not necessarily the lowest vote getters were snowboarder Louis Vito and pro partner Chelsie Hightower, as well as sharp tongued Entourage actress Debi Mazar and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Maks recently broke his engagement with another DWTS pro dancer Karina Smirnoff.  She and her partner Aaron Carter have held first place both weeks of competition.  The animal activist recently posed nude in a PETA ad – check it out here.
