DWTS: Cruisin' through Motown Night

Our "Dancing with the Stars" correspondent Lenni G gives us the scoop on last night's Motown-themed show.

It's Motown night and we have Smokey Robinson, The Temptations and Martha Reeves singing their hit songs for the dancers. We also have a group called Human Nature who will be touring the US doing Motown songs. Um, still trying to figure out why a group doing Motown covers is called Human Nature. But I digress.

Great start to the night with The Temptations singing  "My Girl" for the rumba from Gladys and Tristan. Len said that if he was voting with his heart, Gladys would be at the top of the leader board. Yep, she would be. Bruno loved her star quality but wanted more "steaminess." Bruno loves "steaminess." Carrie Ann told Gladys that the night belonged to her and that she would pay money to see this dance again. Me too. Judges' scores - 7's from all three for a total of 21.  

Michael Jackson memorial: We Love You More, Michael


The memorial to MJ went longer than expected, but you know what, it was worth it. It was a lovely service. And I got to watch with my mom!

It started about 1:13 p.m. Motown great Smokey Robinson, dapper in a glen plaid grey suit, reads a statement from Diana Ross, who is not in attendance.

She calls MJ "a personal love of mine." She says she'll be there for his children if necessary. Then he reads a note from Nelson Mandela who calls him a member of his family. He will be missed. My mom, bless her heart, whines about her desire for a letter from Nelson.
