New Chatter

After Marie Osmond’s dollface was given the boot, the competition on Dancing with the Stars came down to race car driver Helio Castroneves and his partner Julianne Hough and Spice Girl Melanie Brown and her partnerMaksim Chmerkovskiy.

At the start of the final showdown, Castroneves was in second place, a mere one point behind Scary Spice. However, his quickstep on Tuesday night earned him a perfect score of 30.

After combining the scores from the judges with votes from viewers, it was determined that Castroneves had earned the mirroball trophy as the winner of this fifth season of DWTS.

His response? “It will look so good between my two Indy 500 trophies.”

It was a first place finish for him once again.

In the last few weeks, Marie Osmond passed out on live television during Dancing with the Stars and mourned the death of her father. Now she is facing her most difficult crisis yet. The singer confirmed Wednesday that her 16-year-old son, Michael, entered rehab last week for undisclosed treatment. Until you folks live her life and know the intimate details of her homelife, it’s really unfair to make such judgmental statements. Whether you like her dancing or not is irrelevant. Whether you like MARIE or not is irrelevant. For heaven’s sake, have a little compassion for a mother and a young man who is troubled! The reasons aren’t for any of us to say and are no one else’s business but Marie, Brian, and their son. Those who judge may find themselves in similar–or worse–circumstances at some point down the line.
