Australian beauty Kym Johnson waltzed her way onto the ballroom floor — and into viewers’ hearts — on Dancing With the Stars as a pro back in Season 3 of the dance reality competition series. Over the years, she competed in 15 seasons of the show, taking home the coveted Mirrorball trophy twice. Her first win was with Donny Osmond in Season 9; her bookend was earned with football player Hines Ward in Season 12. In Season 20, Johnson was paired with Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec.

Dancing with the Stars viewers are calling foul on judges Carrie Ann Inaba, head judge Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. They claim the trio was “underscoring” beloved TV star Barry Williams after a lively Cha Cha for Latin Night. Fans believe “they did him dirty” by giving the entertainer scores that placed him toward the bottom of the leaderboard.
Fans believe judges were ‘underscoring’ Barry Williams’ on his challenging Cha Cha
Dancing with the Stars Season 32 cast member Barry Williams entered week two of DWTS facing a challenging Cha Cha for Latin Night. Peta Murgatroyd trained Williams in the dance, incorporating small, quick steps rather than long glides across the dance floor.
In a video package accompanying William’s Cha Cha, Peta Murgatroyd and other competing couples celebrated Williams’ 69th birthday in a DWTS rehearsal room. The former Brady Bunch star admitted a great birthday gift would be high scores from the judges.

It took a while, but Derek Hough finally has some company and it’s fitting that it’s from his Bff. Thanks to his win on Monday’s Season 31 finale with Charli D’Amelio, Mark Ballas has joined Hough as the only pros with at least three Mirrorball trophies on “Dancing with the Stars.”
Hough, of course, holds the record at six wins, so Ballas still has some ways to go, but this was a big hump to get over as a third win has been elusive for the pros. Before Monday, six pros had been stuck at two victories: Ballas, Cheryl Burke (who retired on the finale), Julianne Hough, Kym Johnson, Peta Murgatroyd and Val Chmerkovskiy. Julianne Hough and Johnson have long left the show, but Ballas, Burke and Chmerkovskiy have frequently made finals over the years only to come up short in the quest for three. Chermkovskiy and his...

While female Olympians have struck Mirrorball glory on “Dancing with the Stars,” it’s a different story for the dudes. The most successful male athletes on the show are football players. Shocking, right? (Not.) Of the 10 athletes that have won “Dancing” in its first 25 seasons, six were men and four of those men were pigskin players. So you can probably book a football player or two for the upcoming “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes.” But which of these six champs has your vote?
The first male athlete to win “Dancing” was Dallas Cowboys great Emmitt Smith, who won Season 3 in 2006 with Cheryl Burke over Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, who outscored Smith and Burke during the season. Smith and Burke reteamed for the all-star season and finished fourth.
Smith was the beginning of four straight athlete champs, with Kristi Yamaguchi being the fourth. Short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno,...

Another baby on the way?! Dancing With the Stars pros Peta Murgatroyd, 31, and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, 38, recently told Life & Style that they are definitely planning to give their 14-month-old son Shai a sibling. "We would love to have a girl next," Peta gushed. "It's funny — we can't imagine having another boy because we can't imagine how we could love another boy like we love Shai." The toddler is walking and talking (in English and Russian), but he isn't following in mom and dad's footsteps just yet. "He hasn't started to dance yet," Peta shared. "But he loves music." And while Shai waits for his baby sister, he does have another little lady in the house to play with... sorta. "He loves talking to [Amazon's] Alexa!" Peta said. "He babbles at it and, of course, Alexa doesn't know what he's saying." A post shared by Peta Murgatroyd (@petamurgatroyd) on Feb...
