Derek Hough – Just as Handsome in NYC!
Many thanks to @cstardust on Twitter for helping me out and sending the the link to some purdy pictures!! I’ve been SO busy getting ready for my Christmas travel (that starts today) that I’ve barely had time to check my usual haunts for Derek news/pictures, let alone do my Google searches, so I greatly appreciate the assistance. Speaking of Christmas travel – updates will be slow(er) due to the holidays due to limited internet access and limited time. I wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
These pictures are courtesy of dancewatcher.com - please click the link to look at what they’ve written and to view what pictures I didn’t put here. How is it fair that men get better looking with age?
Heh. Did a google search, finally, and found the same pictures at Bauer Griffin and you can make them BIG. You guys know how I like Big. 
Well Cheryl, I guess you can add a movie and ice skating to that package special
…JK, hmm..nevermind
Yes,Lily.This package special is soooo good.I wont be surprise if he gets additional treats for him to stay longer in NY,such as shopping spree in Fifth Avenue,a visit to the Statue of Liberty,a New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square and a daily massage at night(plus something more). This is way too good.Better than winning a lottery.
I guess that meeting with Joanna won’t take place then. She mentioned she will meet him after xmas vacation. Oh well.
Hmm. I wonder now if you are right about the times square celebration being included in the package special…
Yes Cheryl..This is getting too expensive.
You know, now that I thought about it. It is kind of strange. First of all, it is christmas and instead of being with family, he went to New York. But if he is back with Shannon, why would they not post any pics of them together. Which makes you think they didn’t want either fans or media or certain people or maybe family to know. But it is still too obvious they are at the same place. I just thought if they are not back together and derek went to ny for something. I dont think he does things without a purpose…There is another explanation. But that’s a needle in a haystack and no it is not about sex or some kind of material things. If my guess is right. He is shooting 3 birds with one stone. One, he is not alone during christmas. First reason not to be lonely, i guess. 2nd, he can forget what he wants to forget. And third …I think it is working. Effective. Kind of genius I would say..Although if he overdo this it would have the opposite effect…LOL
You can add a circus show to that package deal.He just tweeted. I told you so. The list is getting longer. The brunette knows how to work her away around him. The New Year’s Eve celebration will definitely be included.
Lily,It was strange to me too that he spent Christmas away from his family. Was he ever close to them in the first place? He spent most of his life away from them,right? But who is in NY aside from Shannon and Max?Don’t think he went to NY to see Max( Perez Hilton will be happy and Karina will have a cardiac arrest)LOL.We are left with Shannon. I don’t think they are back together too,otherwise,as you said,they will post pictures of them together.He is obviously staying with Shanon and not in Trump’s Tower.Who are they fooling?That’s why i came up with an excuse that he went to NY to get laid.LOL.Drought in LA. He has family in other states and friends in LA,how can he be alone during Christmas? Maybe he was upset about BHB band or trying to forget Joanna or Marta(confuse now),but its a very shallow reason to fly all the way to NY.LOL. What is working?Did not quiet get that? Do you think,there is another reason beside Shannon on why he is in NY?Sherlock Holmes…here we go.Probably,he will propose on New Year’s Eve.Hold on to your chair.
I think he felt alone because he did spend his time with his family during thanksgiving and he probably felt alone. In an interview he said he was never single in the last 5 years? So he was probably missing to be with someone. Especially if he wants to be with someone and can’t. For him to choose not to be with family this christmas only means that whatever the purpose he has for flying to NY is very important to him and kind of urgent. By the way, didnt’t know Max is in NY. I almost had a stroke with that one
Okay let’s play Sherlock and Watson 
let’s list down all the possibilities of trip here. Ok there is work, but no I dont hear him doing anything there so eliminate that. There is pleasure(including your suggestion 
) a possibility. There is being upset as you suggested of three people, i will immediately eliminate Marta and Max. Possible BHB and Joanna. And how about family troubles? And i am sure not being lonely is one of the reasons. But you’re right there is a deeper reason. Can you add on to it Watson? Or Sherlock, whoever you want to be ..lol
Oh yeah I forgot. Love is another possiblity like what you’ve said an engagement proposal in New Year. SO what else? When we had made a complete list we will narrow it down.
For some reson I think we should eliminate pleasure because it is kind of a shallow reason. He seemed like a smart person. That’s why i’m eliminating that one. The reason must be a deeper one.
With family he just saw julianne about a week ago? She seemed to be in good spirits. I don’t know what’s going on with his mom and dad’s side of the family though. So that can be a possiblity? I am not too sure on this one. He spent most of his life away from them. But I get the feeling that family is very important to derek. He always makes time for them even without an occassion. That’s why this christmas is strange. And even stranger, I really don’t think he is back with shannon. Or at least he didnt want people to think that because he didnt want pics of them together. On the other hand, shannon twittered pics of them at her twitter account from a party as late as what oct. or nov.? Something unexpected happened then, that made me suspect why derek doesnt want pictures. Because obviously, shannon doesnt mind the world to know as she twittered the pics herself. As opposed to Derek who twittered only the pics of people in the party. So that time he did not know that shannon posted a pic of them together. It is definitely derek who doesnt want the pics taken. But those pics made their way to many people. And perhaps people whom he didn’t want to find out about him being with her.. Which gives me an even bigger question mark of WHY???
I am left here with 3 possiblities. BHB, Joanna or an engagement proposal to Shannon.
I heard that one of the band members are no longer with them? We had to know alittle more on that one..But why would he fly to NY specifically because of he was upset about the band considering that is the case? Maybe to be with a friend? Maybe he didn’t want pics taken because he didnt want people to get the wrong idea? Whenever he twittered he made it seemed like he is doing things along in NY. which is actually mind boggling especially if all those things he went to dinner and lunches as well as shows, he just did all by himself. Just not very believable so we know he is with someone and that is very likely shannon. But then, he has not seen her since the party. Possibly he was texting or talking to her. But from breaking up to not seeing each other except for 2 times to proposing an engagement is a BIG LEAP. Unless of course it started out as just visiting new york to see her and then he realized during his stay from dec21 to now that he loved he enough to stay till NY to propose. It is possible but I would say highly unlikely. Which leaves us with Joanna..I really dont know how to eliminate her except that she is engaged. Also, Derek has been behaving oddly before he went to NY. Remember the pics his sis and the one taken with shirley as well as the one with the shannons dog. That is not a look of a happy person. There was even one time he twittered at around 530 am in the morning saying he was listening to owl city while walking around the city?? I thought at that time that something strange is going on with him. Then his friend Mark, twiterred that he thinks people should listen to patience lies of kalai. I think we should go back to see his tweets around that time. Do you know Joanna just a couple of days after Joanna had a body massage and went to see the dentist, derek did the same thing? ODD, but can also be a coincidence….Yes it is also a possibility there is a mystery woman in NY. But we don’t know anything about that so we should find out if she exsist.lol
Can i be Inspector Lestrade and not Watson.LOL. Here is my take. Being alone is a state of mind. He has a big family and good friends.If he chose to fly to Utah or Nashville,or even stay in LA (Ballas family is there),he wont be alone.Why NY and why urgent? Don’t freak out Sherlock but i have a feeling that there is someone who is in NY that we don’t know about,like a mystery woman(hopefully..not a man).This just a gut feeling. I’m kind surprise that you eliminated Marta and not Joanna.I was thinking of the other way around.You may know something that i don’t..hmmmmm. Family troubles can be a possibility.The reason why i thought about sex, though i know its shallow is the fact that Derek is young and like you said,this was the longest he was not on a relationship.Plus, Shannon looks like to me is O.K with “friendship with benefits”kind of arrangement.For some reason,he can be easily influence by her to a certain extent. I believe that he is a smart guy,but he doesn’t make smart decisions all the time.Moving in with Shannon only after a few months of dating her was not smart move to me.I think,he regretted that decision .We know now that the relationship did not last.I was one of those few people who was not even aware that they were dating since it went too quick.
Yes…Max lives in NY.I think so.He commutes back and forth to LA.
If you ask me I think Marta just tag along to be able to report back to her sister. lol. I also feel that Derek is a very private person. He seemed to have the tendency to play down things, including his feelings.
I think we should eliminated the band problem even if there is any.. because it just doesnt make sense he would go specifially to NY for that. Like why NY because of a band? So you think it maybe family troubles? I am leaning more on Joanna. But we need to explore it a little more.
We don’t know what happened during dinner of Derek and Julianne. We don’t know the nature of his relationship with his father and mother. But we know he visited his mom’s side during thanksgiving and even twiterred pics of him and his nephew, a family game time, food, the house and an engagement? .. looks like a happy family. But who knows. Unless we see something concrete we would only be assuming.
Which I suppose is the same with Joanna. No concrete evidence
But I think Derek is hiding his feelings for her because she is engaged. There is a site here somewhere that explore that possibilities. It’s too long to mention here but here is the link . It is kind of very long though. http://www.purederekhough.com/2009/11/06/reprise-derek-and-joanna-on-et/
Speaking of Julianne coming to LA,remember the photo of him that she tweeted?He looked sad and so as the photo with Shirley Ballas.You maybe right.It could be family troubles.Are you referring to P.Diddy’s party? I read somewhere in one of these blogs that Derek was not suppose to be in that party.Maybe Shannon just asked him that day since he was in NY. I saw that photo of them.He did not look that happy.Something was odd that i cant point my fingers on. If they are back together,why would you not want the world to know?Something not right.Therefore,Derek is not back with Shannon and he maybe eying someone else,but who? If so,why would he spent Christmas with Shannon? Sherlock..we need Nancy Drew.
I apologize if I’m interrupting your conversation, but it’s a bit interesting, LOL. Did I miss something? What problem could Derek have with Joanna or Marta, or the band? If there is a big problem, I sure don’t want to interfere with personal business, but I’m just wondering if there was anything out there that I may have missed. I really hope all is well with BHB.
Kels, We’re just doing some inspections..lol..you can read everything we spoke about. Including the link I just posted.lol
Don’t know much about BHB but it looks like its going nowhere.Probably,that’s one of the reasons why he was upset but not enough reason to go to NY. Whenever he tweeted from NY,it never cross my mind that he was doing things by himself since Shannon will tweet the same things within minutes.He definitely did all these things with Shannon. He had a photo with Boomer on his first day in NY,so,he was obviously in Shannon’s place.Its not possible that he saw Boomer and not Shannon,unless Boomer can talk and just passed the message to Derek.LOL.I was just joking about the proposal.Seriously,it’s very unlikely.I did not see that “owl city” tweet.He was awake at 5:30am walking around NY,alone? She left Shannon freezing alone in her bed?LOL. What are you implying?That he is in-love with Joanna? This is news to me.I don’t think so,unless I’m missing out something(this is better than Sherlock Holmes).I am not following Joanna so i don’t know what’s going on with her.You said that she is suppose to be meeting Derek after Christmas? How?He’s still in NY,doing God knows what. This is getting juicy.
Cheryl read the link I posted. They are fan observations and you might just as well click on the interview and observe between them. Anyway, the owl city at 530 was when derek was still in LA. Obviously the poor guy was awake that early and roaming LA.lol
Cheryl, Joanna twittered that to a fan who asked her if she is still in contact with Derek. But obviously, she can’t see him if he’s in NY. and to be frank if I am joanna, i will also have second thoughts.lol
This Joanna thing blows my mind.Never even thought about it.I thought all along,it was Marta.We all know that Joanna is engaged. If he is after Joanna,going to NY wont solve the his problem because people now is speculating that he is back with Shannon. It doesn’t make sense. I have not read the link.Its a possibility but very unlikely.
Cheryl, read the link. but click on the their interview first. watch their reactions then read the comments. Then reply back to me. It will shock you! lol AS I said Derek is a smart man. So it will take someone smarter like Sherlock and Watson (I mean Lestrade lol) to solve it. THE NERVE! lol
Inspetor Lestrade, watch and observe this interview. Maybe it is just me but if it is not common knowledge that Joanna is engaged you would think there is something there.. Again maybe I am wrong. There is always a first for Sherlock you know lol
Inspector Lestrade when you finished reading all the blogs, hopefuly during your lifetime because they are very long LOL you will see bits of clues on my third theory which I cannot really say right now. I do not want to ruin his purpose of going to NY. lol
Cheryl, your comment of “if he is after Joanna, going to NY wont solve his problem..it doesn’t make any sense.”…………makes perfect sense to me.
I mean think about it, if you fall for someone engaged. Won’t you feel helpless? No matter what you do- eat, sleep, drink, laugh, cry, get angry it wouldnt change things. You have to keep yourself always busy doing things to not think about it. Unless you do something about it. Joanna’s fiance looks handsome( though of course derek looks better lol), rich. Although I don’tknow his personality. But he seemed less exciting. How does one compete with someone like that? Perhaps he could just go and forget any possibilities if Joanna didn’t show any inclination of interest. But it seemed from mine and the observation of many that there is. Unfortunately, she’s got it burried waaay way down. You can find it only when you dig all the way with the fossils of dinasours lol. But- it is there.
In my opinion there are 2 final possibilities where Joanna is concerned. The first one is Derek went to NY to forget about her. To eliminate her from his system. When he was going to london right after DWTS he twiterred that many things are going through his mind. Of course we don’t know what it is. On his way back from London to LA, I think he mentioned a name of a city in Miami and started laughing. At that time Joanna was in Miami which means that he probably asked her where she is. Obviously if you ask someone upon coming back you possibly want to see that person, Which gave me the impression that he wanted to see her or misses her. Joanna on the other hand shortly after Derek left for London, started eating sweets, keeps eating sweet and can’t stop eating sweets lol and she wondered why. Within days she left for Miami, I guess she was also feeling lonely in LA. That’s the time when Derek came back to LA. Also I remember him mentioning having a crazy dream when he was on his way back from ny to la the time when joanna and him went together to ny. But then he went to see shannon also in NY. So I’m not sure what the dream was about or if he dreamed about one of them. Only that he said it’s a crazy but cool dream. Am I being too detailed? As an inspector we must be.LOL
The other possibility is something that is quite delicate and if I say would ruin his purpose altogether. But you will see a statement at the link I gave you of his possible reason to going to NY.
Sherlock-This story is getting bizarre.I watched that interview of Derek and Joanna.What i saw was just two people who like each other as friends and got along as dance partners. Never thought that many fans interpreted it as “more to it and beyond”. Personally,i don’t think that Joanna is Derek’s type.Second,i read an article how Joanna is very much in-love with Romain and he sees him as”"Her Knight and Shining Armour” .I agree with you,he looks like a boring person to me.He is handsome but no “x-factor”.I bet,he is loaded(you know what i mean). Let’s say that its true that Derek has feelings for Joanna,i don’t think going to NY and spending Christmas (and possibly sleeping with Shannon)will solve the problem. You don’t solve a problem by creating another problem. That is not the way to get over Joanna. Looking back,i remember when Derek and Joanna went to NY for “The View”,he spent time with Shannon too.That’s when they ended up together in P.Diddy’s party wherein Shannon tweeted a photo of them together( Derek looked unhappy in that photo). But my point is,why did he not spend his time with Joanna instead? Are you telling me that he is making Joanna jealous? I am not a Joanna follower and don’t know much about her,but is there an indication that Derek’s tricks are getting into her?(you said ..something is working).If i was in Joanna’s shoes,Derek’s spending the holiday season with Shannon would turn me off completely. It says a lot about Derek’s emotional stability. You don’t spend Christmas with your “ex”to forget someone. I see it as a sign of weakness in Derek’s part. If you are right about this Joanna theory,the best Derek can do is to stop seeing Shannon and focus on how to win Joanna by telling her how he really feels. Now,its up to Joanna to make a move if she also has feelings for him (which i doubt…unless i am missing out something).He has to attack the problem head-on,not running away from it. If Joanna has feelings for Derek that she is keeping to herself buried way way down like a fossils of dinosaurs,then,we need to ask the help of “Naked Archaeologist” from National Geographic to dig it for us.LOL. If its true that he was supposed to meet Joanna after Christmas as they planned,he should be flying his ass off right now to LA instead of playing “poker” and “hide and seek”with Shannon in NY.What is the other theory that you are keeping from Inspector Lestrade??? Do i need to call “The Hardy Boys”?
haha Cheryl. Maybe we should ask Joanna to ask Derek to come back? If he does then he does love her. LOL Anyway, you are very good Inspector Lestrade. I just the clue came from either Maria or Caitlin because they far from suggesting it… Maria mentioned somewhere in that blog something like Joanna was controlling her feelings unless it becomes unbearable. Well how does one makes it unbearable? But I think he is pushing it too far if that’s what he’s doing. With Caitlin she wrote something like pulling the rug under a Taurus. But my opinion if that’s what he’s doing, derek is pulling the wrong rug! lol Both of them are Taurus and I remember Joanna and Derek mentioning before that they totally get each other because they are taurus. So I put a little weight on the writings of these two about them. But I also got confused because in a contradicting manner one of them said never make a taurus jealous because it is a turned of. I would also feel that way.
This is the only explanation I can come up with. I mean obviously to get over somehting quickly is to replace it with something else. But of course with love it’s not that easy to do. That is if he is trying to do that.
The other theory if he is making Joanna jealous.. How do you explain what he is doing?
As for digging..how do we know if he’s digging now.lol. let’s put ourselves in that situation. Let’s assume I fell for someone. Let’s further assume that I FEEL he also has feelings for me that is he is controlling because he is in already involved with someone. And Let’s say you are my bestfriend.lol. What should I do? Sure I could tell him how I feel? But how appropriate would that be if the person is engaged? To confound it what if I am worried to risk the friendship. It would be awkward. I would have to have the guts to do that. It might also cause the end of friendship or scandal. And you know how Derek like to be private with his lovelife. Perhaps it would be easier for me if the person I want would be the one to realize that he has feelings for me. But how do I do that? How do I bring it( that feelings for me)out to the surface without sacrificing my pride? They said that Taurus works hard until they accomplish their goals.
Inspector I dont know what his TRUE goals are here. But again if he wants to forget her he will work as hard to do that as the same effort he will give to win her. This is just his personality. But that is if Joanna is the issue here. Like what you said there can be another girl. WHich by the way, Shannon mentiones something about Canadian girlfirends? Maybe she is matching him to one of them? Aso, maybe they are going out as a group? But the reason why I am considering it maybe Joanna is because of some of the people Derek works with he fell in love with. And to work day in and day out for hours and learn you have much in common with someone. Do you think that person being engaged would prevent you from falling in love with someone? Afterall He did say that he wants someone who is fun, funny and thinks he is funny.
As for types. Joanna did exhibit a sense of jealousy the day after she saw that picture of shannon and derek (someone sent it to her that same night) She didn’t twitter again for that night and showed up really beautiful the following daw. Maybe it was a coincidence. But I aslo saw that clip from Larry king and she was looking at him like…lol As for Joanna saying she is really in love with him, I find it odd that she never show any public affection towards him. But I am sure she feels secure with him as he is afterall rich. But I think if you have a boyfriend like that and meet someone like Derek (or someone with a little more personality and you have fun and laugh so much) do you think it unlikely that you might also fall for that person a little? Ideally we should not. But feelings are not something we can control. We cannot command our hearts not to love someone. I mean I ask you now. Can you work with Derek and not fall in love especially wth a fiance like that? LOL. But even though she may start to feel something, Joanna came from a family who had to struggle in life. So she is as Caitlin said practical. Maybe that is why she is with her Fiance. Of course I am not saying that is the only reason. But she has already committed to him. So I think even if she feels more than she is letting on, she will not compromise her security.
So inspector, if you are Derek and in that situation what would you do?
Sherlock- We have additional list to our package special.A trip to the Grand Central Staion and a dinner with Peter Luger Steakhouse.LOL
I may not be able to answer all your questions since i dont see what you see in terms of feelings between Joanna and Derek. I still dont buy it.But let say that i agree with you.Here is my opinion.If Derek’s purpose is to make Joanna jealous by going to NY,he probably made the biggest mistake of his life.This could backfire at him and he may loose Joanna for good. You dont spend time with your ex instead of winning someone you love regardless whether she is engaged or not.She is not married,for heaven’s sake.Derek’s action is sending the wrong signal to Joanna and this could have an irreversible effect.And i tell you why. I read some of the comments from the link that you sent me and the concensus was” Derek has no chance with Joanna because he is young and she’s engaged with a rich handsome financially secure business man who will give her security.Wrong!!!!.Joanna is with Romain because he is giving her emotional stability that she needs. I read an article about Jo telling about an ex boyfriend(prior to Romain) that she loved so much but the guy was so jealous all the time and they ended up breaking up.She found peace with Romain. Joanna had struggled alot from childhood and she made it on her own.She look to me as a very strong person.This kind of people dont look only for money.I dont see her as a social climber. The question is,what can Derek offer to Joanna. He may not be as rich as Romain but he has a job and a multi-talented person.Giving the right break,he’ll make it big.He is young and time is on his side.You know what Romain dont have that Derek has? I dont know Romain but in my opinion,Derek has passion,personality,he is fun,exciting,there is a special friendship betwen him and Jo,he makes Joanna laugh and they both like to dance.Huge!!!!Now,what does Romain can offer to Joanna that Derek cant(at this point). Not money.Romain can give an emotioanal stability to Joanna. She doesnt need someone who makes her jealous or someone who is playing games.This kind of tricks wont work with her.Derek going to NY is not a sign of emotional stability but a sign of weakness. Joanna needs someone who is strong emotionally.In this department,Romain has edge over Derek. If Derek has feelings for Joanna,he should tell her how he feels and forget about his pride. He should stop doing all this nonsense trip to NY.Its not cute.
Regarding Shannon’s girlfriend coming to visit her.The friend dont exist.She turned Derek into a screaming French Canadian.LOL. It was him coming.She tried to mislead people but she cant fool Inspector Lestrade.There is no way she would match Derek to someone else.Are you kidding me?
OMG Cheryl I just saw that Peter Luger’s Pix and he looks like he has totally lost his mind! LOL What did Shannon do to him? haha
I saw it too.It looks like his hair was on fire(look closely).LOL. Shannon is doing some magic hocus focus to him. He needs to get out of NY,right now.Run,Derek,run!!!!
I saw the fire..Maybe that was shannons hair. Maybe she’s hiding behind him LOL
Lily-Looks like the New Year’s Eve proposal wont happen.LOL. I guess,he heard my plea to get out of NY. Good for him.Run,Derek,run!!!
Cheryl, we should get out before people kill us here! lol But he did not run all the way to Utah, he flew! lol
Just saw these blogs yesterday. Interesting… Lots of happiness to all. Merry Christmas
Hi JK, this site has gone a little crazy .. I cannot believe we are talking about peanuts and call girls.
Yeah. The peanuts comments are funny. The call girls not too sure. I can’t relate hahaha
Why? Are you by any chance a redhead?
I suppose if I dye my hair I would be
Is he back together with Shannon Elizabeth?
Well Cheryl, who do you think it was? Shannon is also in NY. I don’t want to imply anything but she has not posted any pictures of them together. I guess Derek found out of the other party picture she posted and told her not to take their picture together. I also saw a picture of Rockefeller Center she posted around the same time Derek posted a picture of the Rockefeller Center
Well,Maria,who else? Even though,they are not posting photos of them together,it’s very obvious that they are in the same place.People don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Don’t tell me,they accidentally bumped into each other in the Rockefeller center.Accidentally took pictures of the Christmas lights and twitted it almost at the same time? Oh come on ,their fans are not stupid and they should not be treated as such.I bet,Derek also accidentally landed in Shannon’s bed????
Now we know why he looks so happy. He is loving the smell of “roasted nuts”in New York.Does it taste good too? Way to go,Derek!
That is a good smell! Reminds me of summer though..Lol.
I bet.I wonder if “roasted nuts”are available in LA? Oh well,maybe it doesn’t smell the same.
Okay I am not trying to be rude here. But I was laughing as I was reading about the roasted peanuts because in my country of origin they actually sometimes refer to a woman’s privates as …well..peanuts….so you can imagine when I saw the term- roasted peanuts!
and by the way, we really do not make any distinction between any kinds of nuts, peanuts is really to us synonymous with nuts. Hilarious! I hope Derek won’ shoot us..haha.. Merry Christmas to All!
The loving the smell of the roasted nuts was a twit from Derek.I guess,its also the same nuts that you and I are thinking about.LOL
Merry Christmas everyone!
He looks happy and fresh.I bet,he got laid.
Oh come on… Derek does actually know this site exists, and likely visits it on occasion. There’s no need to be crass.
Crass? That’s hypocrisy. Don’t tell me he flew all the way from LA to New York to see the Empire State and sing Christmas Carols( I saw mommy screwing Santa Claus). He came obviously for sex.Can’t blame him. It’s free.Why not?
But it’s not exactly correct Cheryl. It’s not free. He still had to pay for the plane. That would be more expensive than maybe staying in LA and paying for less than the plane ticket. Don’T tell me they are more expensive there than a plane ticket.
maybe he wants a certain brunette who lives there.
certain brunette?
yes. don’t you know blondes are not his type? he mentioned it somewhere.
Wait a minute. I think I know what you mean by that brunette thing. But if he wanted that would’nt it be cheaper in LA?
lily, some of them ARE more expensive than plane tickets lol
Lily,Merry Christmas.You crack me up. How did you know the plane ticket is not free? And even if he purchased his own ticket,its worth every cents.The “brunette”in NY is a”jack of all trades”. Very experienced compare to amateurs in LA.Agree with Teri,some of them are more expensive(Hollywood rates)than a plane ticket.They charge per hour like a taxi meter. In NY,he got a package deal that includes a free accommodation,a trip to the Empire State,a visit to the Rockefeller center,a sushi Christmas eve dinner and of course,the brunette “eat all you can” at night special. Good deal,Derek.
By the way,she is not brunette anymore.She changed it to brown or something?. Oh,”down there”she still a brunette.Got it!!!!
Derek looks gorgeous as usual.
Merry Christmas to all.
great pics, they made my day
MERRY CHRISTMAS Heidi
Merry Christmas! Safe travels!!
No, you don’t need to leave – what some have forgotten that everyone gets to have a say on this site – as long as you love Derek you are welcome here.
It might also interest you to know that most of those chastising you for what I saw a simple fun, somewhat bizarrre, speculation (really, someone took Lestrade seriously?? Somehow I doubt Derek would) are big time Shannon/Derek shippers. They hate this site, try to get Derek to hate this site and vow never to read it, yet they are apparently policing the comments. LOL – thanks for reading, ladies. Everyone is welcome here. Come back and disagree with people any time.
What was going on in these comments is no different than what goes on on the shipper site every day – speculating and having fun with relationships. Because it doesn’t mesh with the relationship they prefer, they object. Respecting Derek? Red Herring, IMO – where do you draw the line? I’ve seen what is said on other sites, and lots of it has struck me as disrespectful of DEREK – particularly when he and Shannon broke up. But I live and let live. You know why? I don’t think Derek cares about any of it – so what if people are chatting about him and his relationships – the important thing is that they are fans of his and that no one should be made to feel driven away from a site (or Derek) because a few people object to what they have to say. The important thing is people buy his albums, go to see him in movies (ah, some day) and keep him POPULAR so we continue to see him dance – or do whatever his heart desires. Now, I did find your conversation a little strange, but I also find the shippers strange. You’re all created equal in my eyes.
At the end of the day, to think that Derek reads these comments and takes to heart or takes seriously anything that is said (on any site) is pretty arrogant. The boy has a LIFE.
As for a “right to privacy” – well, this site should just cease to exist, no? All sites should. Well, no – because celebrities need sites like this one that are fan driven and that promote them. It’s quite an interesting conundrum, isn’t it? What to do? Where to draw the line? Who gets to be god and decide (ahem – me
). Well, you all would be shocked at what I find and DON’T post because I find it to be too intrusive or too private. There are some instances when there is an expectation of privacy and I try to respect that. But when Derek goes to NYC to spend time with an ex-girlfriend and tweets about it, or is seen in a paparazzi-laden area with another woman, holding her hand, etc – it goes with the territory that people will wonder. And there is no rule that says to be a fan of Derek you have to love every single thing he does.
In that same vein, no one should be made to feel ostracized – do you all want Derek to be a success?? For that to happen he needs all the fans he can get. NOTHING pisses me off more than this “true fan” bullshit. Give me a break. There is no such thing as a “true fan” – there are just FANS. They are all different. There is no requirement to love Shannon, Mark, Marta, Joanna or anyone else connected to Derek in any way – you just have to love Derek. That’s really the only rule on this site.
Heidi-Thanks for your comment. Inspector Lestrade is back.I’m not going nowhere.Waiting for Sherlock Holmes instruction.I also hired James Bond.We are working on a bigger case that involves Derek.For now,i am trying to figure out who owns the bra that Derek just twitted and how it ended up in Utah. Did it come from New York by any chance?Hmmmmm.
Thanks Heidi
As for you Inspector Lestrade,look at it closely.It’s element’ry. No chance it came from NY because it was wrong size! LOL And of course you do not throw a souvenir on top of a tree unless you hate that souvenir! lol Ok, I don’t like to talk about my Joanna Theory anymore. But I just cant resist. Joanna just came back from the mountains and here he is doing almost the same thing. Remember after she had a massage and saw the dentist one day? Well, he did the same the following day. or was it the day after. Why is he copying what she does? lol Anyway she is engaged and hopefully he is not going to follow that one soon! lol
Please don’t stop posting, you gals have me laughing so hard! There wasn’t just one bra in the tree, there were at least three clearly visible in the photo, and possibly a fourth behind one of the other ones.
And not to add fuel to your Joanna theory, but according to Marc Malkin’s E! online article,”Tiger Tart Jaimee Grubbs Finds New Man,” Derek and Joanna sat at the same table as Jaimee and her new man at a MyHouse/Brave Foundation event. Said event turns out to have taken place Friday, December 18th! (Just google MyHouse and Brave Foundation & you’ll see the date listed). Joanna tweeted that morning that she would see Derek ‘after Xmas’ but didn’t mention she would be seeing him that night. Interesting, no?
Sherlock- How did you know that it was the wrong size? I went to her twitter account and tried to compare the size,hmmmm,its pretty close.Since Sweet Charity(bless her heart) mentioned that there were more than one bra,i borrowed a magnifying glass from Nancy Drew and examined the photo more closely.There were indeed 2 pink bras(probably from Victoria Secrets). Don’t you know that pink signifies love and romance? Women normally used pink bra on special occasion(such as Christmas) to seduce a man? Another theory is,Derek must be in hurry to get out of New York and took the wrong bra that belongs to someone else. Maybe the Canadian friend did exist and came to New York to stay with her. When he got to Utah,he realized that he took the wrong one as souvenir and threw it on a tree.LOL.As much as i still don’t agree with your Joanna theory,i thought of the same thing when he twitted the mountain photo.Was he thinking about her, hoping that they are together snowmobiling in the mountains?Hmmmmm. Sherlock,we are soooo busy this coming New Year.We have 2 cases to work on “The Case of the Missing Bra” and “The Case of a Lost Love”.
Despite what I said below, I BEG you not to stray into fanfic territory. Please? Speculate as you will (as long as everyone plays nice together), but fanfic kinda disturbs me.
Lily- Were you implying that Derek and Joanna were together walking down Sunset Blvd at 5:00 am? Is Romain with them and do you know where they had breakfast?LOL!!!. Remember,you mentioned that Mark tweeted at the same time? Probably it was Mark who had that memorable walk with Derek. Two brothers talking about the two Jonna’s(Joanna Krupa and Joanna Pacitti).LOL. I can see a smile in your face. I cant find the link that Sweet Charity was talking about the event that Derek and Jo attended. Send it to me.Do they have photos together?I bet so, Derek is not ashamed to be pictured with Jo in the first place.I can see another smile in your face. Stop jumping up and down.I still do believe that they are just good friends and nothing more.Inspector Lestrade needs more info for her to have a change of heart.On the other hand,i wonder why Derek kept on twitting pictures of snowy mountains…Hmmmmm
You maybe right about him asking Julianne for advice.He looked miserable that day.Probably,he asked Julianne on whether he will go to New York to see Boommer(i mean Shannon) and what excuse he needs to get out of New York before New Year’s Eve.LOL.
Now,we know that family trouble is not the reason why he looked so upset before Christmas. He seems like he was having a great time in Utah with his family.His tweeting lots of scenic photos. He seems at peace. He looked sad until that night in Peter Luger where he tweeted his photo with two thumbs up and a big smile.He looked ecstatic on his last night in NY.Hmmmm..i wonder why. Happy New Year!!!
Okay Cheryl, this is what I found. On Dec. 17 he tweeted ,” All changes happen in a moment- its just that most of us wait until certain things happen before we finally decide to make a shift.” and that “activity without a purpose is a drain to a life of fulfillment.” He proceeded to talked about his favorite drink-water from wawa lol. Then ended the day with a dinner with Julianne. The following day Dec. 18 he did not twitter at all. That was the day he met Joanna
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_malkin/b159735_tiger_tart_jaimee_grubbs_finds_new_man.html
…Then the following day Dec 19 at 4:4am (or at least what it says in the twitter record) he says I have to say , “I freakin love Owl city … The whole album is a great to listen to especially when your walking through a city ..”
And NO, I am not implying that he may be walking with Joanna. I only say that we do not know if he is walking with someone because I remember how in NY he sent all those pics giving the impression he was by himself when he is really not. So we don’t know if he was by himself. But I was safely assumming that he was. That’s why I said previously, “the poor boy was awake that early. Either he could not sleep or he did not sleep that long. And to listen to Owl City… Wasn’t the person who composed all those song sufferring from insomnia? lol
Anyway, 3 days after he met Joanna, On Dec. 21 he went to NY. That was the same day when Mark Ballas was in an airport and twitter ” @ the airport, my mind over working today, but the song “patience lies” by Kalai is something u should here, so gorgeous, makes me think of certain things and someone special.”
Unfortunately I could not get the lyrics of the song Patience lies. Can you? Also I think we should listen to the lyrics of Owl city. Will they give us any clues?
YOu know Lestrade, when I tweeted all about the owl city I didnt notice that was the day after he did not tweeted anything at all and I guess the missing piece was the info Sweetcharity gave because it made me take a look back at the things he tweeted around that time. Go and see it for yourself. I think what I mentioned is pretty accurate. So now why did Derek go to NY? Obviously it’s not for work or family problem, and we are almost sure it is not to get back with shannon. There is still the band or unknown woman . But I feel see it. But why New York? and with shannon?. Joanna is so far the only one we cant really eliminate. Joanna got jealous before of shannon after that p.diddy party picture was posted. Even though she did not say. There were indications she was because of the way she behaved at Larry King. Now we don’t know what they talked about when they met on dec 18. I am sure Joanna mentioned she would spent her christmas in the mountains. Okay I will be assumming here. If he loves her it would frustrate him. Maybe Derek became too frustrated and so he just want to be with someone instead of being alone you know. It will explain why he had no intention of getting back with shannon and still went out with her. I mean what are you gonna do while the person you love is in the mountain with her fiance? lol. If Derek’s action does not make any sense… hey people in love usually do not make much sense.. especially if it is all hidden in side. I think if he has feelings for Joanna, he is being very careful about it out of repect for Joanna and her fiance. And Joanna is doing the same thing. But misses him and twitterd twice about missing him. And as for Derek, Lestrade, try to explain his tweets and his ‘doesnt make any sense action’..lol
As for what advice he asked from Julianne…lol.. he did see her the day before he saw Joanna. hmmm. I wonder if he told her about his feelings if he has any and if Julianne told him to tell her. I wonder also if he told Joanna and Joanna said no and so he just flew to NY..lol WOW I just amazed myself with my beginning-to-end theory there LOL.. BUt seriously, that may explain what we see as ‘odd behavior’ but…if Joanna said no, why would she say she’ll see him after christmas? I mean if someone told you he loves you and you refused that person it would be awkward to meet the person that soon. Anyway, again, this are all theories. But it fit really well to our puzzle. Again there is still the band. But I just dont feel that. And the idea of another woman seems like it’s far of but possible.
Lestrade you have to take a look at the lyrics of patience lies and explain to Sherlock , who is obviously unfamiliar with this territory (romance LOL) what this lyrics says. I wanted to attach the lyrics of Owl city music. But that consists of many songs. So let’s save that for later.LOL

Lily- I am so excited to write this. Remember i wrote 2 days ago about him thinking about “snowmobiling in the mountains”(with someone).Today,he tweeted a few photos of him snowmobiling(and he looked so handsome). If its true that Jo had feelings for him,seeing his photo today would make her either cry and eat sweets the whole day.LOL(can see you jumping up and down). Was it also a coincedence that after i wrote down that he needs to leave New York right away,he indeed left the next day? Sherlock-you maybe right.He maybe reading our theories and taking notes.LOL.
Regarding his “poetic”tweets that you mentioned,I remember now that i was offline for a couple of days when he sent those tweets and did not read them days after. See,i follow Derek,Mark and Julianne from the get-go but never followed Joanna.I could not connect the dots then. I remember when i read all those “poetic” tweets,i was basically scratching my head,like”What the heck he was talking about”?Then,he switched to wawa water.LOL(so odd)but i did not put meaning into it until now that you mentioned the series of events.
I know from his past tweets that he has been an early riser.I remember him sending tweets at 3am or 4am months ago(now i wonder what else he’s doing early morning aside from tweeting.LOL). I was more concern on him roaming around LA at 4am.What the heck was bothering him?Sherlock,you confused me.He was in LA listening to Owl City,not NY. If he was in NY,i wont be wondering why he would be awake so early wandering Manhattan in daze(possibly with Boomer).LOL. Yes,the owl city songs are about people suffering from insomia. Probably,he was suffering from insomia after his trip to London(because of the time difference). Speaking of London,you know that i found out recently from Wikipedia that he had a long time British girlfriend named India De Beaufort. I googled her.She’s gorgoeus and young(like 22).She’s an actress,songwriter in Britain. He dated her for so many years(dont know how long).Next question, was Shannon the cause of their break-up?(if so,most likely he regretted it). While in London,he tweeted that “He spent time with old friends and met new one”.I am not implying that he saw his ex on a romantic date but if ever they met(as friends),it could bring back old memories.Remember,this was his first time visiting London since he moved to U.S. He was acting odd since he went to London and back.The only time i felt that he was back with his old self is now(in Utah).That London trip,though work related could probably triggered sadness on his part.This could be a possible reason why he went to NY,to forget about London and at the same time,to re-charge his battery and of course to spend time with Boomer(i mean Shannon) but quick enough to get out before he can commit himself for a New Year’s Eve kiss in Times Square(he opted for the view of the mountains than the crystal ball dopping down). Regarding that “unknown woman”theory of yours.Its possible too.He twitted that “he met a new one”in London and he “might”come back by January. Sherlock,since you are originally a Londoner,i will give you that assignment.Report back,ASAP. I’ll stick with my Utah assigment.This”snowmobiling in the mountains”is driving me crazy(how i wish,he can snowmobile shirtless)
The “Patience Lies”lyrics blew my mind. Would it be possible that Mark messaqe was intended for Derek,telling him indirectly to be patient? Its more likely that he will ask advice from Mark when it comes to “problems of the heart”than Julianne. He might ask Julliane on things such as what gift to give a woman (like shopping in Fredericks of Hollywood). I can see the grin in your face. With that,i conclude that Mark holds the key to Derek’s secret. Shall we abduct Mark?LOL
Also, Lestrade, I found it interesting that Derek flew to Utah on Dec 28…ah do you remember what we were blogging on Dec 27? LOL. Go ahead re-read it..lol. ALL OF IT!Analyse the things said. If he read it. That can explain the sudden departure. He was afraid..lol.. Ok I know you dont really believe it.. But hey I’m trying to solve a puzzle.. and we are still yet to disprove it lol.
uh..sorry but i cant resist..Joanna just tweeted this, “Its 2010 in miami and I never got this emotional. I guess its a positive thing. Atleast I m hoping. Love u guys .. the heck does that mean??? LOL
Well Cheryl, it wasnt just your pleading for him to leave NY. I think it’s all the blogs from that day (dec 27) and there were tons some on page 2 and some on page 3 (or was it 1? lol.. cant remember, only know there are 2 pages) Anyway, it may have scared him! LOL But you don’t believe in that Joanna stuffs so..lol. By the way, I saw the newest pic …hmmmm..remember talking about the Derek emotionally-unstable-not-ready for a family crap? LOL I also saw the girl your are talking about, but I think I saw her from a different site. My impression from the tweets was he reconnected with old friend and met a new one. I dont think it was the girl you are talking about. If he met someone there I think it is a new acquiantance (Of course, possibly a girl:) ). But felt he’d been a little unusual even before he came to London. As for Joanna eating sweets. I think she stopped for now lol.. she’s back on her sushi roll. Oh yeah the girl seemed addicted to sushi.lol. She eats sushi rolls most of the times that she said she is too boring & would probably turn into a sushi roll one day. Such a coincidence that Derek would have sushi with shannon as christmas eve dinner..LOL.. By the way,why do you think I would grin about fredericks of hollywood? You don’t know for whom that gift is for… It may have come on sale with the bra from his last tweet!lol
Okay just to add, I NEVER said it was in NY that he was listening to Owl City. Lestrade does indeed needs a new pair of glasses… or need to analyze more carefully lol j/k
Lestrade, what the heck was bothering him at 4am in the morning? LOL Didn’t you read what I posted? lol He just met Joanna the night before! We don’t know what she said to him or what they talked about. But again if you love someone will you not be bothered that you are not spending your christmas or new year with that person? Or if you will see that person again? (DWTS is over you know) I am sure he was thinking early that morning.. We just don’t know what about… But that was 2 days before he went to NY and then things got weird…really weird..lol..from smelling nuts to fireball on his head..lol
hmmmm. I wonder if Derek took notes of the emotional instability stuffs we talked about.. remember Romain’s edge over him? ROFL
Lily-You know how i found the Frederick’s of Hollywood site? I don’t want to behind Sherlock.Since you are not giving up on your Joanna theory(and i think I’m on the edge of getting persuaded by you)so,i did my own research. Don’t know much about Jo except for the info that i got during DWTS season. So,i found out now that she’s been modeling for quite awhile and she’s the main model of Frederik’s. I read an article about the PETA scandal too.What happened?In regards to her New Year’s Eve photo,she indeed looked like she cried.Is Joanna following Derek?If so,maybe she cant help but cry whenever he tweets photos from Utah.LOL. Sherlock and Lestrade cant do much at this time.We need to wait and see if Jo will get married this year. Do you think,she will invite Derek?By the way,i noticed when he got back from London,he removed Shannon and Marta from his following list but Jo remained. Then,he put back Shannon and Marta again before he flew to NY. That made me curious why he did that? That made me think that he was not really planning on spending Christmas with Shannon in NY.It was a “spur of the moment”kind of thing. Something happened.I thought then,he was possibly upset with Marta.I thought,they were dating.Marta is cute and single,but eventually both camps denied the rumor.It did not occur to me that this whole drama might be because of Jo.(from peanuts,brunettes,sushi,fireball and snowmobile)LOL. You know what,that tweet from Jo on Dec. 25 about spending time with family may have caused him to pack and took whatever flights were available from NY heading west.,LOL.What ya think Sherlock?
Lily- Don’t give up your Joanna theory.Inspector Lestrade needs to keep her job(global recession,you know).LOL. Don’t know exactly when he deleted Shannon and Marta on his following list. I don’t normally visit his twitter account since i follow him .But that was the time that he was acting odd and not twitting.So,i checked to make sure that his account did not evaporate from the face of the earth.LOL. That’s when i noticed that Shannon and Marta were both missing(not sure for how long).How can he deleted them by mistake?He is only following 12 people.Besides,Shannon and Marta were not even next to each other on the list(then). She had Shannon listed way before Marta. Here is Lestrade’s theory? There must be some kind of competition or jealousy that boiled down between the two since Marta was gossiped to be dating Derek(not true though). I have noticed that Shannon changed her twitter background photo to a more provocative one when Marta change her’s wearing a 2 piece bikini. He possibly got annoyed and deleted both of them.LOL. Actions speak louder than words,you know.Then,he realized that he need a place to stay in NY and put Shannon back on the list.LOL. And Marta,he realized that she could be a potential sister-in-law in the future and needs to get along with her(can see a grin on your face),so he put her back too.LOL!
Now,this burning incident.Why Jo has been acting odd and not on her old self lately?Sherlock,that’s your territory. Please,not Derek getting his face burn.Lestrade will be very upset. O.K,since we are talking about Jo and Derek doing similar things such as snowmobiling and eating sushi,i wonder where did he get this idea about drinking this odd looking blue/green water that he was drinking after he came back from London.Did he get the idea from Jo too?
