Renee Zellweger was stunning in a slinky one-shouldered little black dress as she and her co-stars premiered their new film, 'My One and Only' in New York on Tuesday night.
After two months of competition, America has made its final decision and DREW LACHEY and CHERYL BURKE are the new "Dancing with the Stars" champions. The hard-working couple finished second in the judges' scores, losing to STACY KEIBLER and TONY DOVOLANI by one point. But they had the fan votes and that is all it took to get them to the top!
Even with the judges' vote, Stacy and Tony finished in third place after the three finalists performed their dances, making JERRY RICE and ANNA TREBUNSKAYA the second-runner-ups.
Will it be STACY KEIBLER and TONY DOVOLANI, DREW LACHEY and CHERYL BURKE or JERRY RICE and ANNA TREBUNSKAYA who dance off with the "Dancing with the Stars" trophy on Sunday night?
From the judges' scores to the audience reactions on Thursday night's dance-off, the couple to beat is Drew and Cheryl! The couple really wowed the crowd -- first with their perfect-scoring paso doble, and then with a thrilling cowboy-themed freestyle.
The "Dancing with the Stars" trophy will be awarded to one of three couples on Sunday night: STACY KEIBLER and TONY DOVOLANI, DREW LACHEY and CHERYL BURKE or JERRY RICE and ANNA TREBUNSKAYA.
But before the champion is crowned, each and every couple who tripped the light fantastic will return for one last dance, including our special correspondent TATUM O'NEAL and her professional partner NICK KOSOVICH, who were rehearsing the waltz in New York for the two-hour finale, airing Sunday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m.
As ABC's smash hit "Dancing with the Stars" works its way down to the last couple left dancing, a tearful LISA RINNA was the latest celeb dancer to be voted out, and ET was backstage to get the all the stars' reactions!
"I've had the most amazing experience of my entire life, and you've all moved me so much, and I've been taken to a place that I could never imagine going to," a tearful Lisa said before performing her last dance with partner LOUIS VAN AMSTEL.
The elimination of GEORGE HAMILTON and his partner EDYTA SLIWINSKA on last Friday's "Dancing with the Stars," cut the competition down to the final four couples: LISA RINNA and LOUIS VAN AMSTEL, STACY KEIBLER and TONY DOVOLANI, JERRY RICE and ANNA TREBUNSKAYA, and DREW LACHEY and CHERYL BURKE.
It was a tense moment for Lisa, who was in the bottom two with George, when the announcement was made that she was safe for another week and it would be the senior member of the celebrity dancers going home.
Last week "Dancing with the Stars" said goodbye to TIA CARRERE and her partner MAX CHMERKOVSKIY, leaving five couples competing for the title: STACY KEIBLER and TONY DOVOLANI, JERRY RICE and ANNA TREBUNSKAYA, LISA RINNA and LOUIS VAN AMSTEL, GEORGE HAMILTON and EDYTA SLIWINSKA and, last, but certainly not least, DREW LACHEY and CHERYL BURKE.
ET special correspondent TATUM O'NEAL, who competed in the first two weeks of the competition, catches up with Drew and Cheryl, who are rehearsing in Woodland Hills for this Thursday's "Dancing with the Stars," airing on ABC at 8 p.m.
The celebs on "Dancing with the Stars" attempted to please viewers with the paso doble and outfox competitors on the foxtrot this week, but one star will not be returning next week -- rapper MASTER P!
"Say goodbye to the bad guy!" joked P. On a more serious note, he said, "Ballroom dancing ain't no joke, it's pretty gangsta ... [but] it's been a great experience. I did this for my son."
Last week it was the torrid tango and the fast-paced jive for the 8 remaining celeb couples on "Dancing with the Stars," but another celeb was eliminated in a surprising decision -- judge favorite GISELLE FERNANDEZ!
Despite the disappointing elimination, Giselle was grateful for the opportunity and did say she "had a blast" on the show.
They've been quizzed on the quick step and challenged on the cha cha cha, but this week on "Dancing with the Stars," the 8 remaining celeb teams take on the tango and the jive!
"Dancing" castoff TATUM O'NEAL joined us in our New York studio to chat with MARY HART this morning, and while she was very outspoken about her exit last week, telling our KEVIN FRAZIER, "This was totally wrong ... I think they were super, super harsh," she had a different perspective today.
ET is at the AMA's! The "2009 American Music Awards" are underway and we have all the red-hot red-carpet arrival pics, including Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Rihanna, Adam Lambert and more!
