Emmy-winning actor Peter Dinklage has made a point of refusing to take stereotypical roles commonly reserved for little people (LP), but he’s never been one to address the challenges that he and other LP actors face in Hollywood. That changed during an interview on Marc Maron’s January 24 “Wtf” podcast. During a conversation regarding Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Dinklage praised Disney for casting a Latina actress as Snow White but condemned them for continuing to present what he believed were outdated stereotypes.
“Literally no offense to anything, but I was sort of taken aback,” he said. “They were very proud to cast a Latino actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.’ Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way,...

Going into next week’s “Dancing with the Stars” finals, all eyes are on the remaining celebs: Kel Mitchell, Lauren Alaina, Ally Brooke and Hannah Brown. But let’s not forget about their pro partners. With the shocking elimination of James Van Der Beek and Emma Slater during the Semi-Finals, there is now only one pro left who has won the Mirror Ball Trophy before: Mitchell’s partner Witney Carson, who prevailed in season 19 with Alfonso Ribeiro. So regardless of their respective celebs, which of the remaining pros do you think would be the most deserving first-time winner? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
Gleb Savchenko is currently partnered with country music star Alaina, and we must never underestimate the power of the country music fan base. Just consider past “DWTS” winners Kellie Pickler (season 16) and Bobby Bones (season 27). In fact, the only...

Sharna Burgess finally won “Dancing with the Stars” with a partner she probably never expected to win with, Bobby Bones, and that means the 12-season veteran and former four-time finalist can at long last shed her bridesmaid status. So to whom does that label go next? Of the current cast, four pros have been on at least five seasons and they all just so happen to be dudes. This makes sense since Burgess was the only female pro who hadn’t won on Season 27 and Val Chmerkovskiy was the only male pro who had won. So which of these four guys would you like to see win next?
The “oldest” of these four, in terms of their inaugural seasons, not tenures, is Gleb Savchenko. He made his pro debut in Season 16, along with Burgess and Lindsay Arnold, and finished in 10th place with Lisa Vanderpump. He didn’t return to...

Are you ready for another season of Little Women: La? Because we certainly are and we can also report that Tonya Banks, Terra Jole and the rest of the Los Angeles crew are already working to make that happen. Season 7 ended back in July with Tonya’s girls’ trip to Las Vegas in an effort to talk her daughter into not moving away. We’ll likely get some follow up on that and learn whether she moved out and how that’s worked out and there’s plenty more drama that needs to be dealt with too. Don’t forget that Tonya and Terra’s […]

The past three seasons of “Dancing with the Stars” were won by pros who had never won a Mirrorball trophy before: Emma Slater (Season 24), Lindsay Arnold (Season 25) and Jenna Johnson (Season 26). Will that streak continue this season? With Gleb Savchenko’s and Artem Chigvintsev’s exits, there are just five winless pros left. Which of them do you want to see go all the way?
Sharna Burgess is by far the most overdue. She’s been on the show since Season 16 and has three runner-up placements — Nick Carter (Season 21), James Hinchcliffe (Season 23) and Josh Norman (Season 26) — and one third-place finish, with Noah Galloway in Season 20. Burgess is also the only female pro this season who’s never won “Dancing” before. Partnered with Bobby Bones, she doesn’t have a ringer this time or a technically sound contender, but Bones’ enthusiastic personality and underdog role could get them far. That is,...

Danelle Umstead (‘Dancing with the Stars’) could be the first visually-impaired Mirror Ball champion
“Dancing with the Stars” is making history in season 27 with contestant Danelle Umstead, a Paralympian skiier who will be the show’s first visually-impaired contestant. Will she be able to win the Mirror Ball Trophy? Before the competition gets underway on September 24, let’s consider her pros and cons.
Sign UPfor Gold Derby’s free newsletter with latest predictions
Pros
Dancing is such a demanding skill that any kind of physical limitation seems like it would be a deal-breaker, but not so. Double-amputees Amy Purdy (season 18) and Noah Galloway (season 20) were both finalists. Little person Terra Jole (season 23) made the top five. And deaf model Nyle Dimarco (season 22) actually won the Mirror Ball Trophy.
“DWTS” fans often rally around contestants with inspiring stories, whether they have overcome physical challenges like the above contestants, recovered from injuries like season 23 runner-up James Hinchcliffe, or committed acts of heroism like season 13 winner Jr Martinez...

Mary Lou Retton is going from the floor exercise to the dance floor. She’s signed up for season 27 of “Dancing with the Stars,” which gets underway on Monday night, September 24. The veteran gymnast won five medals at the 1984 Olympic Games, including a gold medal in the women’s individual all-around and a silver medal in the team competition. Will she add the Mirror Ball Trophy to her list of athletic accomplishments? Let’s weigh the pros and cons.

ABC recently announced that the 27th season of the competitive-dancing reality show “Dancing with the Stars” is set to premiere on September 24. But which celebs will enter the ballroom? Below is a list of female candidates I think “DWTS” should consider inviting to compete for the next Mirror Ball Trophy. Vote in our poll at the bottom of this post to let us know who you’d like to see on the show.
Ciara
Grammy-winning singer Ciara is best known for her infectious hits like “1,2 Step,” “Promise” and “Goodies,” but she has yet to grace the ballroom. Her sensual and hard-hitting moves would make her an instant front-runner along the lines of past musician contestants like Mya (season 9 runner-up), Nicole Scherzinger (season 10 Champion), Brandy (season 11) and Normani Kordei (season 24 finalist). Note to the casting directors: watch her “In My Feelings” dance challenge video and go ahead and give her a call.

There is drama for the stars Little Women: La this week during a group game of kickball. With some already upset about Mika Aguilar’s recent activity, things go way left after Terra Jole loses her temper and a fight breaks out. The kickball game was arranged by Mika, who always wants the ladies to do things that are physical, just like the time she took them horseback riding. Yet again, it seems that some are upset about Mika’s choice of activity, but this time it’s all about the team name and whether it is offensive. It isn’t until Terra is […]

On Season 7 of Little Women: La, Tonya Banks and Terra Jole clashed over Terra’s Black Girl Moscato idea for two reasons. The first being that the name of Terra’s wine was shocking and many found it offensive. The second reason was that Tonya was working on her own wine brand and Terra knew it. Last week on Little Women: La, Tonya confronted Terra. She made it clear that she wasn’t okay with her friend starting up a new wine brand and gave her friend an ultimatum about it. Now, Tonya is busy showing off her own new wine creation. […]

In Monsters and Critics’ exclusive clip, we can see Terra Jole and Mika Winkler having a pretty serious conversation. It turns out that Terra thinks Mika should apologize to Tonya Banks. The problem is, Mika doesn’t think she did anything wrong. It all goes back to a conversation that aired weeks ago where Mika brought up Tonya’s activewear line, “Lil Boss Body”. Terra isn’t the only one who thinks Mika came off like she was taking a shot […]

Watch an exclusive clip from tonight’s Little Women: La on Lifetime — which shows Terra Jole taking husband Joe to get a blood test to determine if their son Grayson is average or little. While Joe is adamant that one-year-old Grayson has pseudoachondroplasia, the same type of dwarfism as him, Terra is completely convinced that he’s average. She says the only thing that makes her think he might be little is he is still walking in a way that an average child might not. But while Terra thinks that doesn’t make it a foregone conclusion, Joe says he doesn’t need to […]

When Tonya Harding begins to compete in the upcoming 26th season of “Dancing with the Stars” she’ll be the latest in a long line of figure skaters to have competed for the Mirror Ball Trophy. But how will she compare to the Olympians who have come before, like season 6 winner Kristi Yamaguchi and season 18 champ Meryl Davis? The new season begins on April 30, so before she and her competitors hit the dance floor, let’s consider her pros and cons.
Pros:
Tonya Harding spent much of her early life taking ice skating lessons. She eventually became the Us champion in 1991 and 1994, and she was the world silver medalist in 1991. In 1991 she also made history as the first American woman to successfully land a triple axel in competition, and only the second woman of any nationality to do so after Japanese skater Midori Ito. She was also a two-time Olympian,...

In Monsters and Critics’ exclusive clip from this week’s episode, she tells the focus group: “We are launching a moscato, as you clearly can see.

The argument comes about as Jasmine confronts Mika for the way she spoke to Tonya last week about her “Lil Boss Body” active-wear line. In Monsters and Critics’ exclusive clip, Jasmine tells her: “I’m not going to lie, Mika, I got irritated with you because you really had no business bringing up Tonya’s active-wear line, like you were kind of dismissing it.” Terra Jole defends Mika, but Jasmine says the way she spoke to Tonya was an […]

Do you think you know everything about Little Women: La star Terra Jolé? Well, think again!
It might seem like the reality star shared all the details of her life with the public over the last 15 years – first appearing on MTV’s True Life in 2002 -- but she’s revealing new secrets in her memoir, Fierce at Four Foot Two.
“Surprisingly, I couldn't believe how many stories I had to tell. In fact, we left a lot of stories out,” Jolé shares with Et in an exclusive interview about the book, joking that she thought fans knew everything about her too. “There are tons and tons of stories that I have not shared with anyone.”
While she is used to being very open about her life on television, there’s a big difference with sharing her story in print. “There’s no editing. It's you. It's not like what a producer may interpret as you,” she explains...

Sasha Farber is sharing secrets from the ballroom!
The 33-year-old dancer stopped by Et for a Facebook Live interview on Tuesday, where he opened up about why he's not a pro on Dancing With the Stars this season, which pairs have the best chance at taking home the mirrorball trophy, and, of course, wedding planning with his fiancee, Emma Slater.
Just last season, Farber competed with Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, placing fourth in the competition. He also was a pro during seasons 17, 22 and 23, paired with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Kim Fields and Terra Jole, respectively. So after four amazing seasons, why was Farber placed in the troupe for the dance competition show's 25th anniversary?
"The show changes. They always bring different people in," Farber told Et's Cameron Mathison and Lauren Zima. "And it's always -- it's a height issue for me, too. Everyone's pretty tall [this season], not going to lie."

Hey everyone! Only two more blogs left! Lucky for you, they are the craziest episodes we’ve had.
Speaking of crazy, we left off on the boat of infidelity. If anyone is ready to get off this boat, it’s me. I wish there was an “intervention” over what we are all hearing.

This episode is borderline nuts … or maybe I am. Surely my inbox will see more hate mail after this episode and I’m okay with that. Opinions about the show are fun to read until they are hurtful towards your children. To keep things interesting, this week’s drinking game will be screaming.

Let’s dig in. This week, I think we all need a break from drinking. If I gave you the word “Fierce” again, to drink every time you heard it, you may get alcohol poisoning. Grab a bottle of water and let’s start a detox, ’cause this is a nasty episode.

The title of Little Women: La star Terra Jole’s new tell-all book causes two huge fights on tonight’s episode of the Lifetime show. The memoir, which is set to be published in August, is titled Terra Jole: Fierce at Four Foot Two. But Jasmine Arteaga Sorge finds fault with the use of the word “fierce”. She tells Briana Renee about it, and Briana immediately suspects it’s a jab at her after their recent feuds. Briana’s favorite quote is Shakespeare’s “Although she be but little, she is fierce”, and she uses the hashtag #littlefiercemama on her social networks. So after her and Terra’s...read more...

On tonight’s Little Women: La, Terra Jole gets hold of a scandalous video from Christy Gibel’s past — which she then proceeds to show to the other ladies. Terra is sent the clip by Tonya Banks, and she tells husband Joe as she shows him the video: “You’re never going to believe what Tonya sent me.” When she brings it up with Christy, Christy tells her: “There are some things I just want to leave in the past and don’t want to talk about.” But when Terra puts on an Ott birthday party for her daughter Penny, she can’t help...read more...

Terra Jole and Emily Fernandez’s Mini Bar venture opens for business on tonight’s Little Women: Dallas season finale — but Terra is not happy about how it looks. The big night took place in December with camera crews there to film the episode for the Lifetime show.

She also said it looked “cheap”, and asked if they could make it look more “money”. But watch the footage...read more...
