Derek Hough judge, Derek Hough Is Returning to Dancing With the Stars

Derek Hough judge, Derek Hough Is Returning to Dancing With the Stars.

Dancing With the Stars is losing one more familiar face, but adding another, ahead of Season 29.

ABC announced Tuesday that series veteran Derek Hough will serve as a judge for the upcoming cycle. He’ll replace Len Goodman, who is unable to judge this season due to coronavirus travel restrictions; Goodman will, however, be involved “in a different capacity” while living in the U.K.

“This show has been and will always be incredibly special to me,” Hough said in a statement. “Coming back feels like coming home, and I couldn’t be more excited to be back in the ballroom.”

Hough, who will sit alongside returning staples Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, has six Mirrorball wins under his belt from his time as a pro partner (with contestants Brooke Burke, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Grey, Kellie Pickler, Amber Riley and Bindi Irwin). He has judged NBC’s World of Dance for the past three seasons with Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo, and he’s also been a fixture on ABC’s recent Disney Family Singalong specials. (UPDATE: An NBC rep has confirmed that Hough’s DWTS gig will not affect his status on a potential fifth season of World of Dance.)

Ivanka Trump vaccine View, challenge from co-host Joy Behar

 Ivanka Trump vaccine View, challenge from co-host Joy Behar. President Trump ’s daughter and adviser,  Ivanka Trump , vowed on Thursday to take the coronavirus vaccine on “The View” after a challenge from co-host  Joy Behar .  Behar said on Wednesday’s show that she doubted the president’s claims that a COVID-19 vaccine could be ready soon, adding that she would take the vaccine once Ivanka Trump did.  Ivanka Trump responded to Behar’s comments in a tweet on Thursday, saying “Deal” while tagging “The View” co-host.  “I would come on your show to do so,” she said. “I trust the FDA and so should all Americans. Vanquishing this virus should be our collective top priority.” On Wednesday,  Behar accused the president of speeding up production of the virus in order to be reelected in November, citing that past developments took years to make an effective and safe vaccine.  “As far as the vaccine is concerned, I’d like to inform America — in case w...

Tennessee mail voting restrictions, election office before voting

 Tennessee mail voting restrictions, election office before voting. A federal judge on Wednesday halted a Tennessee law that restricted voting by mail by mandating that first-time voters show their identification at an election office before voting. U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson, a Trump appointee, filed a preliminary injunction saying he was worried “about how his decisions could aid one side or the other on the political front,”  The Associated Press reported .  The Nashville judge ruled that the law was based on a “non-existent” order from Congress.  The ruling comes ahead of an unprecedented November election that is expected to break records for the number of mail-in ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic. The lawyers who challenged the law said it affected about 128,000 newly registered voters last election cycle. “The Court concludes that the requested injunction would favorably impact the public interest because as discussed above, ...

Daisy Ridley Star Wars changes, trilogy as they went along

Daisy Ridley Star Wars changes, trilogy as they went along. Rey’s backstory changed for each  Star Wars  movie? You don’t say, we never could have guessed that eh? Sigh. My thoughts on the  Star Wars  sequel trilogy are pretty well known around here. I find the whole trilogy awful, and have no desire to ever watch it again. For me, there was no plan, instead using a ‘choose your own adventure’ approach for each movie. For this fan, the lack of a plan was clearly evident between each of the three movies. My really big issue with this, was that Disney had no plan how the Skywalker Saga was going to end when they decided to make the movies. That’s a mistake Disney can never erase. Now we have even more evidence of this lack of a plan for  Star Wars . Daisey Ridley last night appeared in her first interview since  The Rise of Skywalker  on  Jimmy Kimmel Live  (virtual) with guest host Josh Gad, a personal friend of Ridley’s. You can catch th...
