Dwts: Maks Fights Using the Idol judges

Maks Chmerkovskiy, Len Goodman "Maksgate." That is what ousted celebrity dancer Carson Kressley is calling the dust-up Monday evening between professional Maksim Chmerkovskiy and 2 from the three Dwts idol judges. "I actually do understand," states Kressley, "since you work really, very hard, and you acquire some scores you don't accept and you want to claw everyone's eyes out."Within this situation, the overheated argument began after Chmerkovskiy and the partner, soccer star Hope Solo, finished their rumba. Mind judge Len Goodman, again feeling that Solo had not satisfied her potential, known as it their "worst dance from the whole season." Then he came lower difficult on Chmerkovskiy once the dancer attempted to find the crowd to boo even louder in reaction to Goodman's comments. "Don't start everything, Maks, because half the fault is yours."But things really got nasty when Goodman reminded Chmerkovskiy that "I have experienced e-commerce for pretty much half a century.Inch His response: "Maybe you're ready to escape.Inch That comment did not sit well with judge Barbara Ann Inaba, who fired back: "You shouldn't be disrespectful like this.InchSolo's dance got a score of 20 from 30, only one point greater than last-place finisher Chaz Bono. Following the show, Chmerkovskiy was requested if he'd been with them using the idol judges. "Yes, I have been with them,Inch he stated. "I'd it a very long time ago. [Solo] does not deserve [to become treated such as this]."Bear in mind this is week six, the very first week of needing to learn two dances, and also the reason for your competition in which the mental strain and physical exhaustion really start to show. Backstage, Chmerkovskiy wasn't the only real professional who wanted the idol judges to consume their words. Lacey Schwimmer, Bono's partner, was equally angry by what she felt was the judges' disrespectful comments toward him. "They are unnecessary and rude," stated Schwimmer. "Each week he will get known to being an animal." (Judge Bruno Tonioli known as Bono a "cute little penguin" last evening. He's also known to Bono being an Ewok along with a Teletubby.) "Plus they always discuss his personality. Before I checked, it was a dancing show.""I am really happy with what Maks stated tonight," added Schwimmer. "Most of us don't have a chance to face up to live in and our partners. I truly required offense tonight, and backstage I began crying because I had been so embarrassed and thus hurt in what the idol judges stated to him. Every week after week, and tonight it had been only the cherry on the top. So we are just going to get it done for that fans."Bono agreed that "it simply becomes frustrating after some time. You seem like you receive judged one of the ways on the program, where others get judged one other way. During my situation, it does not appear to become according to dancing, or improvement. I'll get bad comments or positive comments but still obtain the same score."Kressley states he never felt bad concerning the judges' comments or scores towards him. "I usually thought I had been teetering around the edge [of elimination]. I understand I am not really a very gifted dancer. Therefore if I acquired a 7, it had been like, jackpot! People end up with emotional whenever you invest that effort in it. But it is nothing a back rub will not fix."Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!

You Can't Look Away from Logan Lerman's Awkward Korean TV Interview

Logan Lerman, arguably our most rosy-cheeked D’Artagnan, made an appearance on a Korean talk show while promoting the new Three Musketeers at the Busan International Film Festival. Maybe the movie’s not so hot, but you’ll see in this clip that Lerman’s cute awkwardness is the best we’ve seen since Jesse Eisenberg (and not as flip). Also, the host steals Lerman’s shoes, and for some reason it’s like watching a trainwreck. First of all, how many times can one person insist he is shy? And be so right? Secondly, THOSE QUESTIONS. And then THAT SINGING. Concluding with THOSE SLIPPERS. It’s like a version of Contagion where the virus makes you shuffle in your chair and scratch your neck 100 times. Logan Lerman interview on Korea TV (Oct 23, 2011)! [YouTube]

The Dark Knight Rises: Batcave details and police chase video

It's great to hear that we'll get to see the Batcave again in The Dark Knight Rises but it may not be that much of a surprise if a report from the Sony Studios set is to be believed.A fan at Batman-News.com claims to have wandered around the new Batcave and says not much has changed."It's half finished and pretty much looks like the same set we saw in Batman Begins. They're still completing the quarry walls but the wooden manor foundations were all there in the corner. They may add more set dressing with equipment and such but don't expect a radical redesign as most fanboys are expecting," the report reads.Hang on, you might be thinking, that still sounds very unfinished. So what did the construction guys have to say?"Funny thing was I asked the construction guys if they were using the same blueprints/plans from Batman Begins to match continuity, they said, 'No'. But as the set resembled the cave from Begins and I'm a detail freak who knows the movies, (right down to the waterfall entrance where the tumbler flies through) while they may have had new blueprints I could see it was the same cave from seeing the foundation beams that were iconic from the first movie. Also the stage can hold water, they'll fill it when the quarry wall work is finished and they pull all the rigging lights up to illuminate the set."To be honest, you won't see toys flying from TF's pram if the Batcave happens to look a bit familiar.Especially as we've got this snippet of a police chase to keep our Bat-spirits up.Unless this is really a remake ofThe Blues Brothers, in which case where's our log-in to Blues-Brothers-news.com? We've got some bile to spew!
