Sabrina Bryan Doesn’t Listen to Gossip
November 12th, 2008
Amid the latest nude picture scandal involving fellow Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon, fellow Cheetah Sabrina Bryan is speaking out about the tabloid gossip and has some advice for others int the same situation.
"Stay strong, it will pass," Bryan told the Morning Show with Mike & Juliet on Wednesday. "My parents would tell me when I was going through things that ‘this will pass’ and eventually you will end up being so much stronger."
Perhaps Sabrina was talking indirectly to Bailon, who earlier this week became the latest young Hollywood star to have semi-naked photos of her splashed across the internet after her laptop was reportedly stolen at JFK Airport.
Dealing with the not-so-great perks of fame is something Sabrina seems to have mastered.
"I mean, as a Cheetah Girl, I have fans that are a little bit younger. They’re just kind of excited about all of the projects I’m involved in," she says. "When I was on Dancing with the Stars, I got an older audience…and they started to pick me apart a lot more. It was kind of like, ‘Oh, he kissed her on the forehead. What does that mean?’ I was like, ‘Why are you saying that? Can I just do the competition?’"

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Recap
November 26th, 2007 / Author: cwillett
As you rev up (no pun intended) for Monday’s final
performance night of Dancing With the Stars, OK! takes a look back at the
largest and most controversial season yet. From unfortunate deaths to shocking
upsets, season five left everyone talking, so before you chat about who will
win, reminisce on those who didn’t.
Week One: Twelve couples — the largest ensemble yet — hit the
floor to kick off the fifth season of the ABC smash. Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan
and Mark Ballas cha-cha-cha-ed their way to a 26, which goes down in DWTS lore
as the highest first-week score ever.
Result: After being described as “deceptively
unfit” by partner Alec Mazo, model Josie Maran, who received a 16 for their
foxtrot, got the boot, marking the second consecutive season Alec and a model
have left first. Here’s hoping Alec doesn’t get a model next season!
Week Two: Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough pull into first place with a 27
for their mambo, but his achievement was lost amidst all the other talk of the
week. OK!’s resident blogger Jennie Garth took a tumble in her quickstep when
partner Derek Hough tripped on her gown. “We only had one dress rehearsal and I
guess you might say it was a wardrobe malfunction!” she wrote in her blog
afterwards. Jane Seymour sat out the results
show after her mother, Mieke Frankenberg, passed away.
Result: Abercrombie & Fitch hottie Albert Reed and partner Anna Trebunskaya
left to the surprise of the judges and lowest scorer Wayne Newton and Cheryl
Burke, proving that models have no fan base.
Week Three: It was tight up top with a three-way tie on the leader board —
Melanie Brown, Jane and Sabrina all earned 27s for their dances. But the dance
of the night went to Jennie’s spicy tango, earning her “comeback of the season”
praise from judge Bruno Tonioli and the encore spot.
Result: After looking resigned to
leaving the last week, Wayne and Cheryl finally get the hee-haw.
Week Four: All My Children star Cameron Mathison proved to
be super-hot (in more ways than one) with his Superman-inspired Paso Doble, earning
a 27. But the highest score of the night went to Sabrina and Mark, who got the
first perfect 30 of the season for their own Paso. But trouble brewed when
Carrie Ann Inaba criticized Jane and Tony Dovolani and boxer Floyd Mayweather
and Karina Smirnoff of executing illegal lifts. “I don’t know what she was
thinking. People have been flying through the air for weeks [but] I remember my
feet touching the ground,” Jane tells OK! afterwards, still feeling the sting.
Result: Stung and down for the count — Floyd and Karina, who exited ahead of surprise
bottom two-dwellers Mel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Week Five: Marie faints! What else was there to talk about? The bubbly
entertainer passed out while awaiting critique from the judges, forcing the
show to cut away to a five-minute commercial. Attributing the tumble to her
asthma and allergies, Marie woke up after a few minutes and declared she was “fine!”
Elsewhere, Mel and Maks rebounded with a high-scoring 29 for their samba.
Result: The earnest and eager Mark Cuban finally met his end on the show. The billionaire’s journey is
a testament to his fan devotion — he stayed through five weeks despite
dangerously low scores every week.
Week Six: Mel and Maks spiced up the floor again, capturing their first perfect
30 for the season and the highest score of the night, and Jane took another bye on results night due to food
poisoning.
Result: Presumed frontrunner Sabrina was eliminated, stunning the
contestants, fans and judges. Not all is lost for the Cheetah Girl — a week
later she admitted she and partner Mark were officially a couple.
Week Seven: It takes two to tango and two dances to stay in! The remaining couples
take the floor twice — with Cheetah paw tattoos in honor of their lost sister —
and Mel and Maks once again come out on top with a total of 54. Five weeks
after Jane’s mother’s death, Marie loses her father, Osmond patriarch George,
and misses the results show as well.
Result: Jane departs after fulfilling a childhood dream of dancing.
Week Eight: After three straight weeks on top, Mel and Maks
relinquished first place to Helio and Julianne, who edged them by one point
with 57.
Result: Despite a two-point advantage over Marie, Cameron and Edyta Sliwinska
said bye-bye — evidence that not even a soap fan base can rival that of the
Osmonds.
Week Nine: Locked in first place are Mel and Maks and Helio and Julianne with each couple receiving a perfect 60 for two dances — a show first.
Result: Last season, Ian Ziering was sent back to 90210 at the semifinals
and the same was true for his former co-star Jennie. The actress, who received
a perfect 30 for her cha-cha-cha and a second encore performance, tearfully left, ensuring Mel, Helio and Marie spots in the final three.

Jennie Garth Says Goodbye to Dancing With the Stars
November 21st, 2007
Despite receiving a perfect score of 30 from the judges on Monday night’s performance show, Dancing With the Stars said its final goodbye to Jennie Garth on Tuesday night, as resilient fan favorite Marie Osmond joined Spice Girl Mel B. and race car champ Helio Castroneves in the ABC hit’s final three.
Jennie, who has been sharing her behind-the-scenes thoughts as OK!’s celebrity blogger, revealed after the show that she wasn’t shocked to be leaving. “I knew it was coming. I had a feeling because Marie has a lot of really devoted fans.”
For more on Jennie’s thoughts about leaving the show and her future plans, CLICK HERE to check out her exclusive OK! blog.
Meanwhile, other competitors told OK! how sorry they were sorry to see the former 90210 star go. “I love her to bits,” Mel B. exclaimed to OK!. “We’re all going to go grab a bite to eat with her after this. She’s so sweet and she’s goofy like me!”
As for dark-horse semifinalist Marie, she said, “I love what Jennie said tonight, which was, I did this and my daughter got to see me persevere and follow through. Truly, no one’s a loser on this show.”
Even Sabrina Bryan, the Cheetah Girl who suffered an even more surprising elimination earlier in the season and had become the star’s close friend, came back to perform on the results show. “She’s come so far. She improved so much and did such an amazing job,” Sabrina told OK!. “It was awesome to see her have so much fun out on the floor.”
Meanwhile, Mel, Helio and Marie are planning for next week’s big finale. Mel, who also has her upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour on her mind, told OK! she plans to relax through meditation and “work hard, laugh hard and enjoy it.”
Helio told OK! he’s practicing the power of positive thinking: “When I put my mind into something, I’m very proud of myself that I can go all the way.”
Marie joked that she plans to consume lots of “ibuprofen and water for the kidneys” before next week’s big dance off. She’s truly thrilled at making it to the final three. “Honestly, I knew there were better dancers. I had Donny and Marie moves… but the technical stuff is hard for me, so it’s been a challenge.”

John O’Hurley Weighs in on DWTS
November 16th, 2007
With the Dancing With the Stars semifinals right around the corner, who better to weigh in on the action than season one breakout John O’Hurley? The actor, who finished second but later triumphed over General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco in a dance-off, tells OK! the competition is fiercer than he’s ever seen.
“I see snippets of it and this year just totally amazed me and the results more so than any other season. The people were totally extraordinary, the talent has been extraordinary this year and yet somehow it doesn’t get move them beyond,” John tells OK!, alluding to the eliminations of such conceived front-runners as Sabrina Bryan and Cameron Mathison.
To win, the stage vet advises Melanie Brown, Helio Castroneves, Jennie Garth and Marie Osmond to “‘wow’” the judges from here on out. “You’ve got to ‘wow’ ‘em. You’ve got to stretch yourself. You can’t play it safe because they’re looking for one reason to knock you out now.”
Cameron was John’s first pick to win it all as he believed the All My Children star’s network connections would have pulled through for him, perhaps similar to Kelly’s win.
“They kind of have a built-in advantage because everybody’s logged onto ABC.com with their user-names and their passwords, so it’s an easy mechanism to vote many, many times, so that’s why the ABC people have always had the upper hand,” he says. “But it didn’t pay off this time — I’m very surprised.”
The 53-year-old expects Mel B to emerge the victor now and doesn’t think her performance background with the Spice Girls ought to be used against her because numerous factors go into deciding the ultimate champ.
“I think people take that into account,” John says. “You have to look at some of the other people that have won and Joey Fatone didn’t win. Yet if you watched him from the beginning, you said, ‘Well, he’s a shoo-in. Everybody, go home!’ But not so. I think people look for the progress too and the emotional journey just as much.”
This is one of the reasons Marie has stayed on so long, he says, citing her weight loss, personal strife and improvement over the weeks. “It’s been kind of a resurrection. I think there’s always a story in that and I think the viewers appreciate that.”
The other reason is — what else? — the fan base, which John feels is pivotal this season.
"Never doubt the Osmond fan base! I was just in Salt Lake City — surrounded by them," he jokes. "Never doubt the Osmonds!"

Cameron Mathison Dancing With the Stars No More
November 14th, 2007
While not the shocker of two weeks ago, which saw projected finalist Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan getting an early eviction from Dancing With the Stars, this week’s elimination of All My Children star Cameron Mathison and dance partner Edyta Sliwinska will likely have many fans up in arms.
“I felt like we had a lot of really great support from all the fans,” Cameron told OK! after receiving the bad news on Tuesday, “clearly, that is why we stayed in as long as we did. I’m really bummed about leaving. I’m proud of everything that we’ve been able to accomplish but honestly I’m really bummed. I don’t want to go home.”
Cameron, who was chided by judge Len Goodman Monday night for baring his chest, also explained to OK! that the whole DWTS experience has taught him a valuable lesson. “I now know I can dive into something that I know nothing about and, with a lot of hard work, I can become pretty good at it. I think I can apply that to a lot of things in my life!”
As far as picking a favorite of the remaining four teams, while Cameron says any of the pairs have a shot at winning, Edyta is less diplomatic. “I think it is clearly between Helio & Julianne and Mel B. & Maks,” she explained, before admitting that Jennie Garth and Marie Osmond are “still very much in the competition.”
So what’s the 38-year-old actor going to do with his free time? “Sleep!” Cameron laughed. “Then I’m going to play with my kids and then I’m going to sleep some more! And then I’m going to re-introduce myself to my wife and see if she’ll have me back!”
