The Brady Bunchis a staple of American television. You either watched it on TV Land reruns, watched it as it aired, or know the lore thanks to movies like The Brady Bunch Moviefrom 1995 — which really was a staple of parody film making (and a history lesson for those unaware of The Brady Bunch as a television show). Now, the cast of the 1969 series has reunited to talk a bit about their characters, who was the most like themselves, and more. At a panel at The Chocolate Expo, Barry Williams opened up about trying to be both Greg Brady and himself.

Williams was there with his fellow castmates Christopher McKnight, Susan Olsen, and Mike Lookinland to recount working together on the series. There, Williams said that trying to separate himself from Greg was hard. "It was impossible to juggle the two identities, so I just combined them. And the truth is,...

Susan Olsen, the Brady Bunch actress blamed for tanking another revival thanks to her conservative rants, lit up The Real Brady Bros podcast recently with a series of hot takes about her time on the original show. In addition to regrets about not suing Paramount over on-set injuries, she told TV brothers Christopher Knight (Peter), Barry Williams (Greg) and Mike Lookinland (Bobby) that she resented playing the dumbest Brady of them all.

Williams called out Cindy’s stupidity in the kindest way possible, remembering young Olsen as bright and not at all like her Brady character. Especially in the show’s early days, writers found “comedy” in Cindy not understanding, well, just about everything. An example from the first episode, in which mother Carol prepares for her marriage to Mike:

Carol: To tell the truth, I’ve got a few butterflies in my stomach.

Cindy: Were you sleeping with your mouth open,...

Susan Olsen — who played Cindy Brady, the “youngest one in curls” — suffered a terrible injury filming the first episode of The Brady Bunch.

The former child actor opened up about a backstage accident in a Wednesday episode of The Real Brady Bros podcast alongside her former co-stars Christopher Knight and Barry Williams.

During the show’s first pilot episode in 1969, where blended-family parents Mike and Carol Brady tie the knot, they revisited a moment when the camera struggled to focus on Cindy’s face. Olsen affirmed that it wasn’t a mistake but happened because she “got injured” before filming.

“I almost died,” Olsen said, adding that she suffered an injury while “standing on a makeup chair and something from the catwalk, where they keep all the lights and everything, fell.”

“It hit the makeup man first, [fell] off the body makeup woman, and hit me in the face,” she said.

When a professional athlete is the special guest star of a sitcom, it’s almost always a strikeout/fumble/missed shot. Some sports fans might be so charmed by a player’s athletic prowess that they can overlook it, but a swole dude awkwardly waiting for his cue and then reciting a line with a delivery more wooden than a baseball bat is usually unwatchable.

You can find examples of this in almost every long-running sitcom, but these are five of the most egregious…

5 Bill Buckner on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

The most infamous moment of first baseman Bill Buckner’s baseball career was when a ground ball went through his legs during a pivotal moment of the 1986 World Series. That moment became the central joke in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm Buckner guest-starred in: He misses a couple of things Larry tosses to him, but at the end, he...

Since getting his big break crafting jokes for Bette Midler in the early 1970s, Emmy-winning comedy writer and personality Bruce Vilanch has found success writing for the small screen and stage. But by his own admission, the scribe behind 25 Academy Award ceremonies and more than his fair share of Miss Universe and USA pageants has also penned some real flops.

In his new book, “It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time: The Worst TV Shows in History and Other Things I Wrote,” Vilanch walks readers through some of the most ill-conceived projects he’s been attached to over the years — from 1978’s “The Star Wars Holiday Special” to the now infamous 1989 Oscars ceremony that opened with Rob Lowe and Snow White pirouetting to “Proud Mary.”

“‘It was a terrible idea, and I shouldn’t have gotten involved’ didn’t even occur to us at the time,” Vilanch told IndieWire on a Zoom call,...

For most of its five seasons, acknowledges sitcom star Barry Williams, The Brady Bunch was “the whitest show on television.”

But years before words like diversity, equity and inclusion became political hot potatoes, the show’s producers made “very deliberate attempts to try and integrate the show,” Williams said on a recent episode of The Brady Bros recap podcast, per Entertainment Weekly.

“There were a couple of episodes that specifically dealt with that,” said Williams. “And we see this a lot, especially when there are crowds and then maybe there are two or three friends, we’ll see different ethnicities and et cetera.”

Soooo… producers’ efforts to be more inclusive consisted of people of color existing in background shots? Well, it was the early 1970s, when only a handful of non-white actors appeared on network shows at all. Guess they had to start somewhere.

Some of those actors even got lines,...

On HGTV’s 2019 series A Very Brady Renovation, the Studio City mid-century ranch home that served as the establishing shot of the Brady Bunch house was gutted and remodeled to look like the interiors from the beloved sitcom. Then in 2023, socialite (and super Brady fan) Tina Trahan bought the property for $3.2 million and has been obsessively filling it with every prop and decorative item ever captured on the series — 300 “Easter eggs” in all. I toured the house and can attest it is one of the trippiest experiences I’ve ever encountered. Salt and pepper shakers, handwritten birthday cards, night table reading: it’s all exactly as it appeared on the show (as are the rooms).

Now Trahan is mulling what to do with her creation. She’s enlisted Brady Bunch cast members Barry “Greg” Williams and Christopher “Peter” Knight (himself in the decor space — his Christopher Knight Home collection chairs...

The Reason Your Agent Isn’t Calling You Back? Pickleball

If you happened to be passing through Calabasas and heard a loud “twocking” sound, we can explain. On Nov. 16, a slew of Hollywood’s most powerful players (and, in this case, we’re using the word literally) assembled on the courts of the Calabasas Pickleball Club for the Entertainment Pickleball League’s championship tourney. Although they began just a few months ago, Epl’s games are quickly shaping up to be Hollywood’s biggest draw this side of the Academy Gala, with agents and execs from just about every entertainment company forming squads — most with pun-filled names like Disney’s Monster Dinks, NBCUni’s Dis-Pickleball Me and CAA’s Dill Makers — to participate. “We started with four teams,” says Zee Batal, the TV producer who launched the league in late

September with reality TV showrunner Erica Hanson. “Now we have eight.

Breaking records 33 seasons into a series isn’t an easy task. But it’s one “Dancing With the Stars” has done three times this season. And on Nov. 12, the reality competition series will hit 500 episodes.

Since its 2005 debut, the series has featured 51 professional dancers and 394 stars and taken home 21 Emmys. Still, it’s hitting new milestones. During Season 33, the show has broken voting records three times, with the latest episode seeing more than 19 million votes. It’s the No. 1 entertainment program on broadcast in adults 18-49 with a 0.69 rating in Live+Same Day. The show has grown significantly in Live+35, with this season’s premiere currently at 8.1 million viewers and a 1.54 rating, up over 60% in total viewers and over 100% in the key demo compared to its Live+Same Day performance.

“What was magic about the show in its heyday is back,” says Rob Mills, executive vice president of unscripted and...

According to one star of the series, a revival of The Brady Bunch came close to happening, only to be squashed before getting to production. Allegedly, this was due in part to Susan Olsen publicly expressing her political opinions.

In the classic sitcom, Olsen played Cindy Brady, the youngest of Carol's (Florence Henderson) three girls. During a recent interview for the "Walk Away Campaign" podcast (per Vanity Fair), Olsen said that CBS Studios had a planned Brady Bunch revival series in the works. The show was said to have followed Cindy and her siblings, now as adults, with Olsen's character portrayed as a libertarian podcaster. However, it's alleged that the network wound up scrapping the project due to Olsen's conservative views, particularly about her support for Donald Trump and criticism of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The blended family from The Brady Bunch were not as popular during their original run on ABC as they are today. The ’70s sitcom became a favorite among children and teenagers, who loved to see the sibling dynamics between the three brothers and three sisters. However, they apparently shared more than sibling love off-screen.

The Brady Bunch saw Robert Reed’s Mike Brady and Florence Henderson’s Carol Martin marry each other, both having been married earlier with kids. Mike has three sons—Greg, Peter, and Bobby—and Carol has three daughters—Marcia, Jan, and Cindy. The couple adopts each other’s children and the sitcom explores this unconventional big family.

The Brady Bunch ran for five seasons and a total of 117 episodes.

The Brady Bunch is one of the most classically wholesome shows on television. But according to actor Barry Williams, there was quite a bit of scandal going on behind the scenes.

In a new interview, the actor who played Greg Brady dove into the love lives of his costars. While they portrayed one big happy family on television, there was a lot of canoodling happening.

Barry Williams Admits He & TV Siblings All Dated Each Other

While filming a television or movie, it’s not at all uncommon for the actors to grow incredibly close. After all, they spend several hours a day in close proximity. Sometimes, romances bloom.

But on the set of The Brady Bunch, it seems that all the child actors were romantically connected at one point or another.

“We all hooked up with each other at some point,” former child star Barry Williams shared with Us Weekly.

The Brady Bunch and Dancing With The Stars fan favorite Barry Williams returned to reality television on September 24, making an unexpected yet well-received return to the latter during Oscars Night on Tuesday.

No, Barry is not trying his luck at the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy again.

However, he was seen supporting the Season 33 stars in the crowd (and backstage) during Episode 2 of Dancing With The Stars, exciting fans of the franchise when he was spotted on their television screens:

The competition dance series allows us to see the women in a different light, separate from their Og 'Real Housewives' shows.

“Dancing with the Stars” premieres tonight, September 17, with 13 celebs entering the ballroom to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy. But who will exit the ballroom first? “DWTS” indicated via press release that there will be no elimination until the second week of the season: “Live viewer votes from the first two weeks of competition will be combined with the judges’ scores from both weeks to determine which couples may be in jeopardy of elimination after two weeks of dancing.” But it’s not too early to speculate.

“Dancing With the Stars” wouldn’t be the hit it is without the casting of some controversial figures — and the upcoming 33rd season is no exception. The reality competition series will feature multiple athletes including Danny Amendola, Ilona Maher, Dwight Howard and Stephen Nedoroscik. Actors Reginald VelJohnson, Tori Spelling, Eric Roberts are also among the group.

However, it was the casting of Anna Delvey, the convicted felon who was under house arrest, that created a bit of an uproar. “I think back to all the families who’ve had family members arrested by Ice who have gone to the courts to get their dad or their brother or their mother back. This woman, they gave her permission to go do this,” Whoopi Goldberg said on a recent episode of “The View.” “Now, should I think there’s a reason, is there a two-tiered system here with Ice?”

After previously stating she wanted to compete on DWTS this year, Peta Murgatroyd revealed she is not part of the cast. Her fans are heartbroken, especially after her fun performances with Barry Williams last season.

However, Peta is confident in her choice and assures everyone it’s for the best. See what she had to say in a new update.

Jason Mraz nearly won Dancing with the Stars despite telling friends to “stop voting” for him.

The singer recently opened up about his appearance on ABC’s dance competition show, where he partnered with professional dancer Daniella Karagach.

Mraz competed on DWTS Season 32 with celebrity contestants, including actor Barry Williams, Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, Too Hot to Handle’s Harry Jowsey, and former NFL running back Adrian Peterson.

Ultimately, Marvel star Xochitl Gomez won the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy with her dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy.

Mraz and Karagach finished as the runner-up couple due to their dance skills and his popularity with voters.

He shared the surprising reason for wanting to leave the show and telling friends not to vote anymore.

The Alien Report: "The Alien Report follows "The Abductee" (Braxton Hale), an everyday American who finds himself hijacked by extraterrestrial beings and taken on a terrifying journey of self-preservation, running afoul of classic "grey aliens", disturbing human-et hybrids, and the U.S. government's shady Men in Black. Based on countless documented reports made by self-proclaimed abductees, The Alien Report is a meticulous, straight-faced look at what an real-life alien abduction would be like, from the perspective of first-person cameras.

The Alien Report has screened at festivals worldwide, winning awards in the U.S., UK, Australia, and Brazil. Shot on iPhone and GoPro cameras as a non-traditional narrative composed of re-assembled found footage, the picture plays out as both a sci-fi thriller and first-person documentary. It is the intended first chapter in a trilogy of films about extraterrestrial abductions.

The Alien Report was directed by Patrick Donnelly and produced by Kevin Schroeder and Michael Sell.

Creator Sherwood Schwartz’s blended family of six kids struck a relatable chord as family dynamics were changing. Stars like Barry Williams (Greg) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) had no idea of the show’s massive reach until they ventured outside the studio. At a fan event a few years ago, they shared they had no idea how popular the show was until they got out of Los Angeles and saw and heard the reactions from across the country.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from the Season 32 finale of “Dancing With the Stars.”

“Dancing With the Stars” has officially crowned the winner of Season 32! The season came to an end on Tuesday night, with the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy being awarded to Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy.

The Season 32 finale kicked off with an opening number that included this season’s couples performing on the dance floor. The eliminated stars — including Barry Williams, Lele Pons, Mauricio Umansky, Harry Jowsky, Mira Sorvino and more — danced to “Young Hearts Run Free” by Candi Staton alongside the five finalists.

Season 31 champions Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas also returned to the stage to perform a routine to “Give It to Me Baby” by Rick James.

During the finale, each pair danced twice — a redemption dance, redoing one of their routines from earlier in the season, and a freestyle.

Below is a breakdown...

“Dancing with the Stars” underwent a couple of big changes going into its 32nd season in 2023. After streaming exclusively on Disney+, the show returned to its original home on ABC (though still simulcast on the streaming service). This was also the first season of the show since the death of beloved head judge Len Goodman, though the show’s grand prize was renamed in his honor: it’s now the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy. So who was sent home from the competition when and for which dances? Below, see the complete results of “DWTS” season 32, updated every week as additional couples are sent home.

See‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 32 cast: Meet the 14 new contestants and their partners

The celebrities competing this year were as follows: model Tyson Beckford, Marvel actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix,...

Admit it: you started this episode knowing who was going to go home, right?

If you are a true student of Dancing with the Stars, you should be able to predict the order in which the celebs are given the boot. Sure, there is the occasional misstep; many of you thought Barry Williams would be toast long ago, but the chipper senior actually made it to week 8, along with the inexplicably fortunate Harry Jowsey.

Williams is gone now, but Jowsey is not. Will his great luck finally run out tonight?

But wait! I should be saving space for the real star of the ballroom — Taylor Swift! Alas, the recording star didn’t show up in her Danskins. Instead, we got her music, her choregrapher Mandy Moore as a guest judge, and a pre-taped sorry y’all from Tay Tay herself: “I so wish I could be there, but I’m on tour in Brazil.

“Dancing with the Stars” season 32 is getting closer to the end. We’re in week nine of the competition with only six competitors left out of the 14 we started with. So what will happen when those remaining celebrities perform to songs by one of the world’s biggest stars in “A Celebration of Taylor Swift”? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary as the night progresses.

Last week “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams was the eighth celebrity eliminated from the competition, leaving six to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix and singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.

This celebration continues a career-peak year for Taylor Swift. She has had three number-one albums: “Midnights,” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version...

“The Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams was eliminated in seventh place on “Dancing with the Stars” at the end of “Whitney Houston Night.” Did he deserve to exit the competition? Not according to the fans we polled. More than 90% responded that the wrong celebrity went home. Who should’ve left instead? I think we all know the answer to that.

I for one thought Williams would survive the night. He performed a solid if not show-stopping rumba with his pro partner Peta Murgatroyd that scored eights across the board. But then he brought the house down during his dance-off against Jason Mraz. The 69-year-old actor boldly flung open his shirt during their head-to-head salsas and was so enthusiastic during the dance that he had the crowd chanting his name. Even though he lacked Mraz’s polished technique, the judges declared him the winner of the dance-off anyway. So when he was eliminated soon thereafter,...

Who will go home on “Dancing with the Stars” at the end of “A Celebration of Taylor Swift”? For weeks many “DWTS” fans have predicted “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey for elimination in our predictions center, but for weeks they’ve been wrong. So perhaps we should consider that there will be another shocking ouster after the earlier-than-expected exits of celebs like Mira Sorvino and Lele Pons in past weeks. Perhaps that surprise will be at the expense of one-time Mirror Ball Trophy front-runner Charity Lawson.

The “Bachelorette” star isn’t the most likely to go home tonight according to our odds, though. As of this writing it actually looks like a close call between “Buffy” and “How I Met Your Mother” star Alyson Hannigan and — you guessed it — Harry Jowsey. Hannigan is the most likely to exit, getting leading odds of 2/1. She had a ballroom breakthrough on “Music Video Night,...

“It’s at this point of the race that it’s like, okay, he seems like a really nice guy, but there are some really good dancers on the show who he has outlasted. And I kind of want his run to end before it gets sour,” argues Gold Derby editor Daniel Montgomery about Harry Jowsey, who has made it to the top six on “Dancing with the Stars” over celebs who consistently outscored him like Mira Sorvino, Lele Pons and Barry Williams. “He continues to endure in the competition based entirely on viewer votes.” Watch Montgomery’s latest video slugfest about “Whitney Houston Night” with Gold Derby contributors Jeffrey Kare and Cordell Martin above.

I thought for sure Barry Williams would survive elimination on “Dancing with the Stars” after his two gutsy performances on “Whitney Houston Night.” The 69-year-old “Brady Bunch” actor performed a rumba with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd and then went bare-chested for his salsa in a dance-off against musician Jason Mraz. But despite winning that dance-off in an upset and thus moving up a spot on the judges’ leaderboard, his viewer votes weren’t enough to keep him in the competition. Watch his salsa above, and scroll down to see his rumba.

The night got off to a decent start for Williams, who scored eights across the board for his initial rumba, which showed “intensity” and “bravado,” according to judge Carrie Ann Inaba, even though the judges dinged him for...

Barry Williams isn’t going home with the Len Goodman Mirror Ball trophy now that he and pro dance partner Peta Murgatroyd have been eliminated from Season 32 of Dancing With the Stars. However, he’s headed back to Branson, Missouri with something even better – the knowledge he’s entertained millions of DWTS fans and proven that guys in their 60s can still go shirtless! The Brady Bunch star not only increased his scores from last week, earning a 32 for his and Murgatroyd’s rumba, but the pair also picked up an additional three points for impressing the judges in a salsa dance off against Jason Mraz and his pro partner Daniella Karagach. Judge Derek Hough, who’s touring across the country with his dance show Derek Hough A Symphony of Dance, has said that Williams is the most popular contestant this season. “That made me feel great,” Williams told TV Insider after the show.

The seven remaining couples delivered big time on Tuesday’s (November 14) Dancing With the Stars, which paid tribute to Whitney Houston with a night of stunning performances. Special guest Billy Porter joined the judges, Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli, to watch and score the routines, which included a perfect set of 10s for The Baby-Sitters Club star Xochitl Gomez and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy. After two hours of impressive performances, America voted on which couples they wanted to see move on to next week’s Taylor Swift-themed show. With the judges’ scores combined with the viewers’ votes, it left Barry Williams & Peta Murgatroyd, Jason Mraz & Daniella Karagach, and Charity Lawson & Artem Chigvintsev in the bottom three. Despite an impassioned performance that saw Williams ripping his shirt off, the Brady Bunch alum and his partner Murgatroyd were eliminated from the competition. Many fans were shocked by Williams’ elimination,...

Marvel star Xochitl Gomez earned the season’s first perfect score for an individual dance for a “flawless” Tango, but “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix regained the lead thanks to a nearly perfect Paso Doble and three extra points from last week.

“Pose” star Billy Porter sat in as guest judge for Whitney Houston night, kicking off the show with a live performance of her 1985 hit “How Will I Know.”

Madix and Pasha Pashkov performed a powerful Paso Doble to “Queen of the Night” that earned 10s from every judge but Inaba. Besides the extra points, The reality star was also exempt from this week’s dance-off.

Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy’s Tango to “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” scored 10s from all four judges. Despite spraining her ankle last week, Gomez’s dance was, according to Inaba,...

Well, now this is a treat: guest host Billy Porter got to open week 8 with a performance of “How Will I Know” to kick off Whitney Houston night. A way better opener than some of those silly skits from weeks and years past! Porter even had the chance to explain his role for the night before the competition kicked off: “I will be looking for storytelling. I will be looking for connection and I will be looking for intention.”

Not said but it was surely implied: Be kind to the memory of Ms. Houston, y’all!

Week eight of Dancing With the Stars has come to a close and the scores have been revealed!

Episode eight of ABC’s dancing competition series aired on Tuesday night (November 14) and the 7 couples took to the ballroom for “Whitney Houston Night” with guest judge Billy Porter.

After all of their first dances, the couples returned to the dance floor for the “Dance Off” round to earn some extra points. Ariana Madix and Pasha Pashkov had immunity from the second round since they topped the leaderboard last week. With her immunity, Ariana was automatically awarded three extra bonus points.

DWTS is back on ABC this season, after a brief 1 season stint on Disney+ last year.

“The Brady Bunch” star Barry Williams was inspired by TV mom Florence Henderson to go on “Dancing With the Stars,” he told TheWrap in an interview last week.

Henderson, who played mom Carol Brady on the ’70s sitcom, competed in Season 11 of the ABC competition. “She was my inspiration,” he said. When asked if he thinks of the actress, who died on Nov. 24, 2016, whenever he hits the dance floor, he answered, “Yes. Every week.”

Williams visited the set in 2010 to watch Henderson rehearse and perform. “I was really taken with it,” he said. “She had always mentored me in one way or another. She knew that I had been active theatrically in a lot of musicals, and she thought this would be a great fit for me. I got the bug, and she made me promise to go for it.”

Lele’s elimination came as a bit of a shock.

“Dancing with the Stars” has caught us off-guard for the last three weeks in a row when it comes to who has been eliminated from the competition. Will we be thrown for a loop again at the end of “Whitney Houston Night” tonight? Fans of the show have been placing their bets here in our predictions center. Make or update your own predictions before tonight’s show to let us know what you think.

Most fans say this will finally be the week Harry Jowsey‘s luck runs out. The “Too Hot to Handle” star and social media personality has gotten consistently low scores from the judges and he gets leading odds of 83/50 of being sent home. But be warned: every time he has landed at the bottom of the leaderboard he has lived to dance another day thanks to ample support from viewers voting at home.

“I wasn’t surprised. I knew she was going to be someone that was going to be a surprise elimination,” says Gold Derby contributor Cordell Martin about the sudden ouster of Lele Pons on “Dancing with the Stars” at the end of “Music Video Night.” “As it has gotten closer towards the end of the competition it just felt that she didn’t have the opportunity to really find her footing and become a top contender. She was starting to gain that momentum, but I felt like it was a little too late.” He discussed that and more with fellow contributor Jeffrey Kare and editor Daniel Montgomery in their week seven slugfest.

“I’m thrilled. You know, I think everyone who comes in this at some point really wants to buckle down and move toward the end. And I’m thrilled that I’ve been able to escape some what might be called close calls and to advance every week,” says “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams about making it to the top seven on “Dancing with the Stars.” “I look forward to every week. Every week is like starting all over again fresh because it is.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Williams above.

Williams is partnered with professional dancer Peta Murgatroyd, who previously won Mirror Ball Trophies with football star Donald Driver and model Nyle Dimarco. To learn any dance on the show, Williams and Murgatroyd first “listen to the song to see kind of what the movement is.

It’s time to dance with somebody because it’s Whitney Houston Night on “Dancing with the Stars.”

The remaining seven couples will perform to the late legend’s greatest hits, with guest judge Billy Porter behind the table, on Tuesday before six of them face off in pairs in the dance-off. Ariana Madix and Pasha Pashkov have immunity from the dance-off because they earned the highest score last week and will receive three bonus points automatically. The judges will determine the winner of each dance-off, who will also each get three bonus points added to their scores.

Music Video Night on Tuesday’s “Dancing With the Stars” featured a scorching Cha Cha set to Britney Spears’ “I’m a Slave 4 U,” by Ariana Madix, who said she knew the choreography by heart since she spent hours practicing it in her bedroom when she was young.

Guest judge Paul Abdul, who gave her a 10, was generous with both her praise and her scores, raving, “You channeled Britney Spears seamlessly… I can’t take my eyes off of you.”

Tonioli quipped, “Hit me Ariana, one more time!” but asked the “Vanderpump Rules” star to work on her footwork. Madix said she could “die happy” after “living out my pop star Britney dreams ” The reality star earned 37, the best solo dance score of the evening.

Despite ending the night with the second highest score, the celebrity going...

It’s music video night in the ballroom, so everyone’s job was to find inspiration from certain pop culture hits to get a smile out of guest judge Paula Abdul. Turns out it wasn’t that hard; Abdul doled out lots of 9s and 10s!

Reality TV star Harry Jowsey (Too Hot to Handle) with partner Rylee Arnold. You know when someone does something so embarrassing on TV that you want to curl into a fetal position and pray for it to stop? That’s what happened when Jowsey attempted to channel a young Justin Timberlake while dancing “jazz” to Nsync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me.” “The sync wasn’t always on,” admitted judge Bruno Tonioli. “I just love watching you my darling.” Score: 24 out of 40

“Dancing with the Stars” made it through an emotional “Most Memorable Year Night” and a spooky “Monster Night.” Now seven weeks into the competition comes “Music Video Night,” where the celebrities will perform routines inspired by some iconic visuals. So who had the best routines, who struggled on the dance floor and who was eliminated at the end of the evening? Scroll down for our live blog for all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary throughout the night.

Last week “Real Housewives” personality and real estate agent Mauricio Umansky was the sixth celebrity eliminated from the competition, leaving eight to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix, singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, social media personality Lele Pons and “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams.

There are two rounds of competition on “Music Video Night.

Going into tonight’s “Music Video Night” on “Dancing with the Stars,” three celebrities appear to be at the greatest risk of elimination: “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “Buffy” and “How I Met Your Mother” alum Alyson Hannigan and “Brady Bunch” veteran actor Barry Williams. That’s according to the combined predictions of “DWTS” fans who have placed their bets here in our predictions center since last week. Make or update your own forecasts before tonight’s show.

Jowsey has had a rough road on “DWTS,” at least when it comes to his judges’ scores. Out of six previous weeks of competition, he has been at the bottom of the leaderboard three times, including for the last two weeks in a row. On “Monster Night” he was dejected by the fact that a number of online fans were criticizing him too. But he has been safe every single week regardless,...

Dancing With the Stars‘ remaining contestants will be shaking it off all night long in an upcoming episode devoted to Taylor Swift’s music.

ABC announced Monday that it has slotted “A Celebration of Taylor Swift” for the installment airing Tuesday, Nov. 21, in which the six couples still competing will dance to songs from Swift’s substantial discography. (We have to assume “Mirrorball” will get played a little, right?)

Video may have killed the radio star, but it’s birthing Music Video Night on “Dancing with the Stars.”

With guest judge Paula Abdul behind the judges’ table, the top eight couples will perform to songs from some of the most iconic music videos of all time on Tuesday. Where’s “Trl” when you need it? And if you’re thinking Jason Mraz should do one of his own videos, well, no dice. After the individual dances, they’ll split into quartets for the team dance — and there’s a very obvious split this time: the four oldest celebs vs. the four youngest.
