Lenni G has the scoop on last night's elimination:

Lots of entertainers and entertainment last night, and Michael Bolton was there too. Could not believe that "The Situation" and Karina were the judges' pick for the encore dance, but there "shore" is something about this guy that makes him easy to like and cheer for.
 
We also got Ne-Yo with his new number, "One in a Million."  Egads, this is one talented guy.  And the song was pretty "catchy" too.
 
And, we had the return of Michael Bolton, standing in at the very last moment for the ailing Susan Boyle.  Seems Susan was going to sing Leonard Cohen's incomparable "Hallelujah," and so we wouldn't have to miss this incredible song, Bolton decided to sing it, too. With only an hour to rehearse, it was - um - where was kd lang when we needed her? Anyway, he sang and Bruno "smiled" the whole time. After the stage smoke cleared, Michael was back on his "World Tour" -- if it's Wednesday, it must be Altoona, Iowa.

It's Story Night on DWTS and we are looking for people who tell the stories well.  

Our "Dancing with the Stars" recapper Lenni G. doesn't hold back on last night's elimination:

Only two weeks into the season and already CONTROVERSY!  First, there was "Boo-Gate" - Was the audience panning Sarah Palin or were they unhappy about Jennifer and Derek's score?  Tape evidence clearly showed that the crowd wanted nines for the Grey and the Hough, not the eights they got. They were NOT picking on Bristol's mama! 

Second, Bruno was forced to defend himself over the comments he made about and the score he gave to Michael Bolton the night before.  Even Len, grumpy Len, thought Bruno had been too harsh.  PUHleese!  This is the same Len (not Bruno as I had previously reported) who made the "Pooper Scooper" comment about Bolton's performance.  Michael said he felt Bruno's comments were "inappropriate" (no, he was terrible) and disrespectful (maybe).  Sorry guy, I'm just not ready to join your pity party.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (left) will be adding a new task to his daily regimen of gym, tan, and laundry: dance lessons.
