"Dancing with the Stars" correspondent Lenni G on last night's surprising elimination:

Who says screaming is only appropriate on Halloween?  Justin Bieber, aka The "Biebs," was in the ballroom last night singing "Never Say Never" as well as a song from his new Christmas album featuring Boyz II Men as his backup singers.  Very nice.
 
Team Paso (Ricki, Rob, Hope and their star partners) got the encore spot and looked really good again.
 
Christina Perri provided the music for Victoria-Rose, a young dancer recovering from a life threatening brain tumor.  Very inspirational.

"Dancing with the Stars" correspondent Lenni G is back on recap duty for us this season. Here's what she has to say about last night's season premiere:

We have a new season, a brand new set which looks more like an opera house than a ballroom, and a whole new group of 12 going for the mirror ball.
 
BBaller Ron Artest (aka Metta World Peace) and new pro, Peta Murgatroyd (best last name ever), started it all off with a cha cha.  Len said it was just "the same old shimmy - all sizzle and no sausage."  Bruno said Ron was a "Dance-A-Tron."  Carrie found it "eccentric but sexy" though she felt it was totally wrong technically.  I say Metta needs to be a lot betta if he makes it through tonight. 

Judges' score: 5's from Carrie Ann and Bruno, 4 from Len for a total of 14.

With one script, NC native Kevin Williamson changed a film genre, revived a veteran director's career and made himself a Hollywood player.

It was the script for the blockbuster film "Scream," and "Scream: The Inside Story" (Bio, 8 tonight) is a lively and fun look at the making and impact of the 1996 film that spawned three sequels ("Scream 4" comes out this month).
