Monday kicks off the two-part finale for Season 19 of "Dancing with the Stars." With the final four competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy, Janel Parrish revealed that she's ready to win. Plus, she opens up about the freestyle routine her partner Val Chmerkovskiy created. Janel originally just wanted to do her best and see how far she could get, but after being considered one of the frontrunners, it's clear that she wants that trophy. "I'm kind of surprised I stuck around this long. Honestly, my goal was just to make it through each week, and now I have a new goal, which is to win," Janel wrote on her "People" blog. "Now that it's actually here and it's in sight, I want to go all the way and I want to go all the way with Val and I want us to win," she continued. In order to achieve her goal of winning it all, Janel has to step up in her judge's routine and the freestyle performance. When it comes to the judge's choice, which is one of the couple's previous routines, the "Pretty Little Liars" star was happy with the performance they chose. "I'm very happy with the dance the judges picked for us. It's one of my favorite dances that we've done, and one that stayed a little bit under-the-radar just because we didn't get great marks for it. I'm excited to bring it back and hopefully do it better than I did the first time," she revealed. Read More »

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes has been the most popular housewife in the Bravo franchise, but this season may be her last, with producers not satisfied with what she has been bringing to the table. "The bosses aren't happy at all with NeNe, and think she held back during filming of 'RHOA,'" a source told Radar Online. "It's obvious to fans that NeNe just doesn't want to be on the show anymore. NeNe is so over the top and so sassy that when those things didn't materialize all that often during filming, producers took notice." Many of those feel the reality star has taken the show for granted because she thinks she is above everyone with her acting gigs. She will soon be playing the evil stepmother in Broadway's "Cinderella." "There is no bigger diva in any of the Housewives franchises than her — period," the source said. "She can be very, very difficult to work with. She seems to have forgotten that 'RHOA' made her a star." Read More »

As we enter Week 10 of Season 19 of "Dancing with the Stars," Janel Parrish is opening up about the curveball for this week's performances. The 26-year-old is also talking about her partner Val Chmerkovskiy's mistake last week. The "Pretty Little Liars" star and her partner Val are definitely in the hunt for the mirror ball trophy this season. As they head into the semi-finals, Janel is reflecting on her killer performances from last week's show. "The quickstep we performed last week was, honestly, one of my favorite dances we've done. I thought it was amazing," Janel wrote in her "People" blog today. "It was America's choice dance, so they chose everything down to our costumes and the song and the style, and at the end they wanted us to kiss, so we threw that in for America!" Although the kiss at the end of their quickstep was steamy and further fueled the rumors that the dancing partners are actually dating, there was a mistake within the routine. Surprisingly, it wasn't Janel, who's the contestant, but Val the pro who made the notable mistake. "Even though Val had a little bit of a stumble during the dance, it didn't throw us off at all. The poor thing, his patent leather shoes got stuck together, but we both just kept going and we were able to get back on track," the "PLL" actress explained. "I know Val felt really bad because of the slip, but I was like, 'You're human! Sometimes humans slip. It's all good!'" Read More »
"Dancing with the Stars" pro Mark Ballas may have a new partner this season in Sadie Robertson, but it looks like his former partner is giving the pair some pretty golden advice. The "Duck Dynasty" star revealed that when it comes to her time on the series, Mark's Season 18 partner Candace Cameron Bure has been kind enough to give the reality star some advice. Ballas and Robertson have been heating up the dance floor on this season of the popular ABC reality competition, and they have even cha-cha'd their way into the semifinals. But when things got difficult for Sadie during last Monday's show, she reached out to Candace to get some advice. The star spoke out to "E! News" explaining that she forgot part of her routine during the live show and that Cameron Bure helped her get through it. "She actually had a lot of blackouts last season where she would forget some of the dance," Robertson told "E! News." "So I had a little blackout Monday night and that never happens to me and I was texting her and was like, 'Hey, do you have any advice about the whole blackout situation? Because I'm kinda nervous." "She was so sweet about it and very helpful," Sadie continued, saying that the "Full House" actress has been helping her a lot this season. "I'm glad I texted her. She's become a really good friend of mine, her and her daughters." Read More »
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump is gearing up for the fifth season premiere of the reality show, but she's offering her support for her fellow Bravolebrity and "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice. The "RHONJ" star will spend 15 months away from her kids in the Danbury Correctional Facility in Connecticut, which is what really gets to the "RHOBH" star. "I have a lot of empathy for her situation as regarding her children and the family, because I know she's absolutely a wonderful mother," she told "E! News." "She worships the children, so I do feel sorry for her about that, I really do." While the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant feels badly for Teresa in regards to her children, the "Vanderpump Rules" star still feels she needs to pay for her crimes. Read More »
"Dancing with the Stars" star Alfonso Ribeiro is one of the front runners for the mirrorball trophy, but his path to the title's now in jeopardy after another injury has sidelined him from practice. According to TMZ, the former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star hurt his back in rehearsal trying to overcompensate for a groin injury he suffered when he did the "Carlton Dance" earlier in the season. He had to even skip run-throughs the next day to get an MRI since he can barely walk. His doctors will be monitoring him for a few days to see if he can dance Monday night. When he had the groin injury, he told "E! News" he would do everything he could to pull through and not disappoint his friends and family. Read More »
