I don't want to get my hopes up or anything, but ever since the first All-Star season of Dancing With the Stars -- I've been keeping my fingers crossed that they'll do a second one at some point in the future.

It's just so much fun to see our favorite contestants come back to compete again. But then I heard about the possibility of a different kind of All-Stars twist and now I'm practically jumping out of my seat. According to RadarOnline, Renee Zellweger may appear on DWTS -- along with an entire cast of Oscar winners!

OMG. Please let this be true.

Something finally clicked in Tori Spelling and she is making it public that she's ready, willing, and able to be cast on Dancing With the Stars after reporting saying no several times in the past. How many times can one show be turned down before they decide they aren't interested anymore? That's the question! But how could any reality show say no to Tori Spelling? She is essentially reality show gold.

Tori, however, supposedly sees the show as a giant opportunity to fix up her tarnished image. You can't go slamming Katie Holmes' singing and call her plastic and come out unscathed. Yikes. But there may be another reason Tori's basically begging to be on the show.

Aww. Can you believe Dancing With the Stars season 17 is already over? It seems like just yesterday we were watching the new contestants take the ballroom floor. Now it's all said and done and the mirror ball trophy has been awarded.

And I gotta say, I was really on the edge of my seat during the whole DWTS finale -- because I had no clue who was going to win this thing. Glee star Amber Riley is inspirational and amazing. And Corbin Bleu has more talent (even though he has professional training) than most contestants on the show can hope to have going into the competition. And don't even get me started on Jack Osbourne. If he didn't steal your heart from the get-go -- then his freestyle performance last night with Cheryl Burke should've pushed you over the edge. (It was ridiculous. In a very good way.)

Oh mah GAHHHHH!!! How emotional was tonight's episode of Dancing With the Stars? I cried at least twice. Did I mention I'm a self-proclaimed non-crier?!? The performances this evening were incredible enough to melt my cold, cold heart -- especially the freestyle routines.

And while I thoroughly enjoyed Bill Engvall, Amber Riley, and Corbin Bleu's dances -- Jack Osbourne seriously stole the show tonight. Was his freestyle performance with Cheryl Burke not one of the most heartfelt and moving things you've seen in a long time?

He's worked his ass off this season, and finally he got the score he probably never imagined he'd see on the judges' paddles.

You're probably going to think your eyes are playing tricks on you when you watch this video -- so get ready. Believe it or not, this is a clip of Dancing With the Stars pro Derek Hough dancing with Kate Hudson (yes, that Kate Hudson) at a Cuban restaurant.

Derek Hough and Kate Hudson? How in the heck do these two even know each other? (Aside from the Glee connection, of course.)

And it's not like she's some sort of amateur who is drunkenly stumbling around the dance floor while he attempts to carry her so it looks like she's dancing.

Nope. Girl has some serious moves.

Well, that's it. The Dancing With the Stars semifinals are over, and I gotta say -- tonight's episode was one of the most entertaining two hours in the history of all 17 seasons, at least for me. And I'm not just talking about the performances. Sure ... there were some pretty amazing routines, especially from Amber Riley and Derek Hough and Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff.

But my favorite part of the whole deal was definitely Maksim Chmerkovskiy joining the crew as a guest judge. OMG. How hot was he? He even shaved, people.

Everybody seemed to want a piece of him -- which can't have made his gal pal Kate Upton too terribly happy.

What the heck? I think I might have some sort of psychic ability going on or something. Remember last week when I predicted that Len Goodman will leave Dancing With the Stars after season 17? You know, because he's probably ready to retire, and that's why they've been trying out guest judges over the past few weeks?

Anyhoo, it looks as though I might just be right about Len leaving the show -- but if he does, his reasoning for doing so is definitely not what I expected.

Yesterday the news broke that for next week's episode of Dancing With the Stars, Maksim Chmerkovskiy is returning as a guest judge to help critique the semifinals. But instead of sitting in for Len Goodman, as was the case with guest judges Julianne Hough and Cher, Maks will be joining the crew as a fourth judge -- so we'll get a little more commentary than we're used to.

And I know the story goes that Len had some sort of other commitment that has taken him away from a few shows this season, which is why they needed guest judges. However, I have another theory as to what's really going on with all these new additions.
