I wasn't a huge fan of Audrina Patridge during her turn on reality TV, but I'm impressed by her hard work to stay in the Dancing with the Stars competition. ET recently interviewed her and her dancing partner, Tony Dovolani, during one of their practices.
Despite all the public hoopla surrounding contestants like The Situation and Bristol Palin, Audrina and Tony say that they're the stress-free and drama-free couple this season. The video is cute and, despite the fact that I haven't really been following the competition, I'm impressed by the glimpse of dancing skills we see in Audrina in the interview below.
On another note, last night the Dancing with the Stars cast members showed up on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, to help build a house for a family. Mark Ballas, Tony Dolovani, Chelsie Hightower, and Derek Hough all participated in the episode to help out the Arboleda family in Wisconsin. The family's father, Rhex Arboleda, had established the "Move to the Groove" program, which was created to help combat childhood obesity and is currently being used in three elementary schools. Apparently the DWTS cast participated in a "dancing demolition".
A new episode of Dancing with the Stars airs tonight from 8:00 - 10:01 p.m. (followed by Castle). Below are also a few photos from the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition episode with the DWTS cast members.
EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION - "Arboleda Family" - Eight years ago, Rhex Arboleda came to this country from the Philippines in pursuit of the American dream. The "EM:HE" team paired up with "Dancing with the Stars" to give Rhex that and more when he answered the most extraordinary wake-up call of his life. Brimming with excitement, Rhex, a hometown hero, his wife, Claire, and their five children -- CJ, Clarenx, Calix, Cullen and Rhex -- emerged from their home to find their favorite designers and dancers ready to literally bring down the house. This episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" airs SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/JEAN WHITESIDE) MICHAEL MOLONEY, PAIGE HEMMIS, XZIBIT, DEREK HOUGH
