Charo prepares to dance
Charo’s getting ch-chcheeky about the new season of Dancing With the Stars, debuting tonight. The pint-sized pocketful of fun is paired with pro Keo Motsepe for this go-round, but she’s less than pleased about a fellow contestant.
Heather Morris is most known for starring on Fox’s TV musical Glee, but before that she competed on So You Think You Can Dance and toured with Beyoncé as a backup dancer. With the other celebs boasting amateur skills at best, it’s like Baryshnikov busting a groove against Bugs Bunny.
“That pissed me off,” Charo told E! Online. “Because how can I prepare with a professional dancer?”
The 66-year-old actress and flamenco guitarist plans to cuchi-cuchi like she’s never cuchi-cuchied before.
“I’m a performer, I love the audience and I fly with the music, and you give me the guitar and I’m telling you I’m on another planet ... So I think this is not fair, but life is not fair. So, what I have to do is move my ass. That’s the only thing.” Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC.
FLASH-SUPERGIRL CROSSOVER
A crossover AND a musical episode? It’s the stuff fanboys and fangirls dream of. A two-part event will tie Supergirl and The Flash together once again.
Tonight’s episode of Supergirl, airing on Showcase and The CW, is titled StarCrossed and introduces a new villain in National City — The Music Meister, played by a dapper Darren Criss, who causes his victims to break into song. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), will try to fend him off.
Most of the musical mayhem will happen tomorrow night on The Flash’s episode Duet, airing on CTV Two and The CW. The Music Meister will turn his nefarious gaze on Barry (Grant Gustin). He’ll send both Barry and Supergirl into an alternate reality in which the only way out is to sing and dance, which sounds like the most fun escape plan ever. In one standout scene, we’ll see an elaborate dance number set in a ’40s nightclub, with the characters performing Jackie DeShannon’s Put a Little Love in Your Heart.
Incidentally, Criss previously starred with Benoist and Gustin on Glee. The other characters who’ll sing during the event are Jesse L. Martin (Joe), Victor Garber (Dr. Stein), John Barrowman (Malcolm Merlyn), Jeremy Jordan (Winn), and Carlos Valdes (Cisco).
MURDOCH’S SEASON FINALE
Mo Murdoch, mo problems. The detective detecting in the early 20th century will find himself and his fellow police officers at the centre of a controversy after a burlesque dancer asks for help. Danger abounds, with a cliffhanger-ending wrapping up Season 10. A fresh run of episodes will begin this fall on CBC.
