EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Michael Irvin, Mark Dacascos Eliminated From Dancing With The Stars


Posted on Nov 04, 2009 @ 07:25AM - 1 comment

Ex-Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irwin and Iron Chef star Mark Dacascos were eliminated from the ninth season of Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday's results show.

And unfortunately, since Mark was ousted, that meant that his partner Lacey Schwimmer --who's also been blogging exclusively for RadarOnline.com -- got booted,  even though she was too ill with the flu to perform on Monday night.

Dacascos was bounced by the judges after receiving 19 points for his samba with a last-minute replacement partner Anna Trebunskaya, who filled in for Schwimmer.

Lacey Schwimmer, who is partnered with Iron Chef America hunk Mark Dacascos, missed Monday night’s Dancing With The Stars with a case of the flu, leaving gorgeous understudy Anna Trebunskaya to take her spot.

Unfortunately, the results were not kind, as the inexperienced couple danced their way to a lousy 19, leaving Dacascos vulnerable for Tuesday night’s results show; Schwimmer, who went home to rest, is expected back next week.

Through a lifetime of coaching, we bet ex-NFL star Michael Irvin never got advice like his dancing partner, Anna Demidova, gave him on Monday's episode of ABC's Dancing With The Stars.

Demidova told the former Dallas Cowboy, doing the Paso Doble dance, that he needed to keep his hips forward like he was "holding a coin in his bottom."

Gilles Marini may have fallen short of the grand prize last season on Dancing With The Stars, but he still knows how to pick a winner.  Though former pop stars Aaron Carter and Donny Osmond emerged as clear frontrunners with their considerable dance experience, Marini told RadarOnline.com that the one to watch is  “Iron Chef America” chairman Mark Dacascos.

“I like to see the underdog make a statement. You don’t have to be like Aaron Carter. he’s danced all his life,” Marini alum told RadarOnline.com during the Macy and American Express Passport AIDS fundraiser in Los Angeles. “The purpose of the show is that someone can teach someone something. And Mark Dacasos is really that person.”

Marini isn’t the only one who thinks Dacascos is a serious contender. Following his martial arts-inspired cha-cha-cha, Dacascos scored a 21 from the judges, with judge Bruno Tonioli stating, “the talent is there, so, you know, keep it tight.”

EXCLUSIVE: Lou Ferrigno Fuming Over DWTS Snub

Is he green with envy? The Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno’s manager wife Carla has blasted producers of Dancing With The Stars for not picking her famous husband for the new series. In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, she claims the producers of the ABC hit show did not even call Ferrigno back despite courting him (for the second time!) to be a contestant.

“They never even had the class to give Lou a call and tell him that he was not going to be chosen – this is the second time they haven’t selected him but it will be the last,” Carla said.  “Lou is an American icon and we had a lot of fans contacting us who were excited about him appearing on Dancing With The Stars.

“The producers told us he would have made an excellent contestant and when you compare him to some of the ‘so-called’ celebrities they picked it just does not make any sense at all.”

Ferrigno, 57, had held promising talks with the producers just a week before the final decision was made for the ninth series of DWTS which premieres on Sept 21, 2009. The massive 6’4 inch body builder and actor had lost around twenty five pounds in preparation for the tight costumes and strenuous routines. He even brushed up on his dance moves with his wife.

But, mysteriously, his name was not on the final 16 which is the largest number of first round contestants ever to be selected.

“We couldn’t believe some of the people they picked and Lou was more surprised than upset that he wasn’t chosen because we know he would have been great,” she added. “I mean Tom Delay, a corrupt politician, a skateboarder (Louie Vito) who nobody has ever heard of and what exactly has Ashley Hamilton ever done?”

She does admit that Donny Osmond and Kathy Ireland “were good picks.” Despite the DWTS setback the husband and wife team have another project in the pipeline which they hope will get the green-lit within the coming days.

It had already been booked on TV stations in 80 percent of the country for a September, 2009 premiere, but the plug has been pulled on Marie Osmond’s talk show because of “deteriorating conditions in the broadcasting, advertising and credit markets,” the singer’s rep has told RadarOnline.com.

Marie as chat show host was an idea that sprung from her 2007 appearance on Dancing With the Stars and her subsequent best-selling autobiography.  “This project, under proper conditions, still remains a strong passion of mine,” she said.
