Cloris Steals the Show

0923leachman.jpg

The judges and dancers alike came to the season 7 premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" blazing -- and no one held anything back! Oscar winner Cloris Leachman worked the floor -- and the judges -- while others stomped their ways to frontrunner positions, and two dancers performed with injuries.

Despite ending the night with a low score of 16, Leachman danced a fine foxtrot with partner Corky Ballas, garnering a standing ovation, then followed it with hilarious shtick at the judge's desk, that got her leg kissed by Bruno Tonioli, and then flaunted her cleavage for Len Goodman -- who asked if he could be her "toy boy," and then sitting on the lap of judge Carrie Ann Inaba. "What are you going to do?" Cloris joked with "Extra" after the show.

The sassy actress may need to get a leg up on her competition, particularly frontrunner Brooke Burke, who nailed the top score of 23 -- and wowed the audience with her tight body! "Extra's" Tanika Ray joked, "That stomach is ridiculous, people -- that alone should get her a billion votes!"

Jeffrey Ross brought the laughs, despite having suffered a scratched cornea in rehearsal when partner Edyta Sliwinska accidentally stuck her fingernail in his eye. They scored a 12, prompting judge Tom Bergeron to declare, "I forgot we had a 4." Rocco DiSpirito's partner, Karina Smirnoff, was almost unable to perform as well. "She's out there on a sprained ankle," he said.

Who is in -- and who will be asked to take off their dancing shoes? Find out on "Dancing with the Stars" tomorrow night on ABC!


NEXT: Jen Aniston and Leo DiCaprio?!

 

Get rid of that non talented kid Cody.

The only reason he is on there is because Disney owns ABC. It was just like when Miley Cyrus was one of the only people presenting a Oscar without having one.

P.S. Instead of Cody, they should of used somebody with talent and is funny also like Jason Earles.

Is it just me, or are the judges being unusually stingy with their scores this season? Misty May-Treanor did a beautiful fox trot, got praise from all three judges, and then got a 6 from Carrie Ann? She wasn’t the only one; all 13 contestants got absurdly low scores from all three judges. Even Brooke Burke scored a relatively small score of 23.

here’s my concern….i think giving a score less than half of 30 is quite insulting to the guest celebrities…there should be a minimun of at least 15 overall score if the celebrity really badly performed…they are not professional dancers…this is the first time they ever gave a 4…since the show started…so that would only mean the dancing was really bad ….
