Dancing With the Stars Updates: Leachman - Hough
On Dancing With the Stars last night, Julianne Hough was not present and Cloris Leachman was eliminated from the competition. It was a very event filled week for DWTS.
Sooner, or later Cloris Leachman was going to be eliminated from DWTS . Many are relieved this happened, yet many more are sad to see Cloris leaving this competition. Admittedly, Cloris and Corky hung in through six weeks of eliminations. Not so shabby for an 82 year old wisecracking dame. Had the Dancing With the Stars judge panel been a more determining factor, Ms. Leachman would probably not have lasted the first week of Dancing With the Stars this season.
Cloris is a great comedian and a fearless contender. Every single week, she begged the audience to keep voting for her and Corky. Her crazed antics provided a real comedy relief not often seen in past seasons of Dancing With the Stars.
After being informed that she was eliminated from DWTS, Cloris walked over to the judges panel, thanked them for putting up with her behavior, then sat on the dance floor. When asked how she felt about it all, Cloris smiled then told millions of viewers, she wasn’t leaving. Yes, she was teasing!
Cloris Leachman is going to be as busy as she wants to be, now. A lot of different offers are being thrown at her. Maybe, Cloris could end up with her own show?
Presently, Leachman just finished being a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live , and Good Morning America . Tomorrow, she is going to be on The View, dancing with Corky Ballas .
Then there is Broadway! Originally, Cloris had talked to Mel Brooks about being in his broadway musical, “Young Frankenstein”. Brooks turned her down then, because he felt that Leachman was too old. Just this morning, Mel Brooks has reached out to Cloris and wants her to join the musical! Could this have anything to do with her being in Dancing With the Stars?
Then there is Julianne Hough’s dilemma. Last week, Jullianne had stomach pains that would not go away. It was discovered that Julianne Hough suffers from endometriosis . Julianne Hough was missing from last night’s show, because she had to have her appendix removed earlier in the day.
The plan was, Julianne Hough was going to be out of circulation for one week. The truth is, Julianne won’t be participating on Dancing With the Stars for at least 2 weeks . Edyta, who was partnered with Jeffrey Ross in the beginning of the competition, will be filling in for Julienne Hough as Cody Linley’s dance partner while Julianne recovers.
