Pure Derek Hough

Lots of random little tid bits of Derek info came out over the past week and I’ve been saving it up for one post. Mainly because I’ve been very busy. Heh. Understatement.

First, and most important (to me) is that Derek is getting another shot at being Kelly’s cohost on February 6th. Yay!!  From Zap2It’s TV by the Numbers:

February 6, 2012 – “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer and Season 13 finalist DEREK HOUGH kicks off the week as Kelly’s guest co-host for the day. The guests are actress Debra Messing, and, from “The Middle,” young actor Atticus Shaffer.

We don’t know for sure that Derek will be on the next season of DWTS, but we will find out for sure the Week of February 28th when the cast is announced, provided he doesn’t tell us first.

Derek has gotten involved in a very worthy cause – the Dizzy Feet Foundation

I am officially a DizzyFeet Foundation Board Member. Look forward working with a great group of people to help the arts .

Derek Hough

Nappytabs gave us a picture from Cobu 3D filming – Derek, BoA and Napoleon working on camera blocking:

Sally Han (@SallyHan_Psalms) posted this photo from BTS at Cobu – go friend her on facebook or say hi and follow her on Twitter.

He’s about halfway through, looking gorgeous as usual. Nice long video from Entertainment Tonight, with a short write up:

Some of Dancing with the Stars’ most beloved cast members reunited for a fabulous photo shoot promoting the Game Show Network’s acquisition of the hit ABC show’s reruns, where they shared their excitement for re-living their past seasons all over again on GSN — and what they took away from being on the show.

Don’t get too excited, it’s only about 15 seconds longer. But it is 15 seconds of additional hotness. FYI – DWTS Season 4 starts on GSN January 21. No Derek, but me and Courtney will do the occasional Cheesecake. Actually, there is a bit of Derek in rumba week – he shows up in Julianne and Apolo’s rehearsal.

So yummy.  Thank you, GSN.

Remember – January 21. Here’s a couple videos with our resident hottie. Oh, and if you go to GSN’s site, you’ll also notice that same hottie has a featured spot on their home page. Be sure to go there and check out the other videos – he’s in a bit of Lacey’s video as well.

This one has a bit of Derek (and Gilles and Maks) in it.

@Will_1031 tells me Derek and Mark will be on Dancing with the Disney Stars this Sunday at 7:30 eastern (6:30 central) – it appears to be a special involving the stars of Shake it UP, Bella and Zendaya.

Dancing with the Disney Stars!

Access Hollywood asked a bunch of celebrities when they first realized they were famous. Even when it’s kinda gross, he’s cute as hell.

2011 was an interesting year for Derek fans, wouldn’t you say??  He filmed his first movie (and it better not be his last) and killed it in another season of Dancing with the Stars, with another wonderful partner.  To top it off, we had an embarrassment of riches in terms of fantastic Derek-choreographed pro dances….all in one season!!  We got to see him dance with his little sister, a new female pro (by new I mean, not his typical partner) and the lovely Allison Holker…one of his newer friends.   I think we also witnessed the beginning of The Rise of the Hough….Derek Hough.

So tell me….what were your Top 3 Derek moments of 2011??  It doesn’t have to be DWTS or Cobu 3D…it can be ANYTHING.  It just so happens that my Top 3 are probably not unique from anyone else’s.

3) Anything related to hearing about Cobu 3D – but ESPECIALLY when we get to see Derek really tap dance.  AND be great at it…no surprise.

2) Co-Hosting Live with Kelly. Nothing says “making it” more than co-hosting this show.

1) Derek Hough and Allison Holker – damn, that was satisfying. I hope he dances with her again.

Honorable Mention: Derek and Ricki – the Psycho Tango. Yes, I’m cheating. It was a pretty significant year for Derek…as shown above…but I can’t leave out one of the most brilliant dances that Derek has ever done with one of my favorite celebrity partners.

Just now getting around to this – I’ll do screencaps for it later. Still think their exit is one of the classiest in DWTS History.

Here’s the Psycho Tango from the finale. Best dance of the season!

This includes the bits at the end where Derek dances with Sherri.
