Pure Derek Hough

There’s some of everyone at Entertainment Tonight! The second one is from TeamDerekHough on Twitter.

Lookin’ pretty good. There are a bunch at Getty, I’ve posted a couple, below.

Whoo Hoo! I’m getting excited about this season – looks like it could be fun! I’ve been working pretty hard on PureDWTS, where you can read more about the show as a whole.

If you want to follow Jennifer on twitter, she is @therealjgrey – show her some love. Plus, she’s hilarious.

There’s a picture of Derek and Jennifer together in the UK Tabloid crud (at least they’re good for something, eh?).

Here’s Jennifer from the other night

Seriously. First, here is a paparazzi video that has Derek in it (hood and all) early on and at the 8 minute mark – and the boy does not seem happy. I miss happy jokey Derek, frankly. I’m sure he’s in there somewhere, but he’s gotten too cautious. Poor baby.

Thanks to @BewitchBallas for a few new pictures from Extreme Makeover Home Edition:

Another gorgeous shot from the ET Emmy After Party:

Nice hoodie, babe. Very cute.

Thanks to Emscott on twitter for finding this one and tweeting it. It’s lovely.

Saw this some time ago, but I’ve been spending much of my time on PureDWTS – for obvious reasons – so I kind of forgot about it. Not to mention that Derek ain’t giving me anything to work with right now.

From Life:

I miss these two! So hot together. Anyway, in the last few weeks of net searches I ran across these pictures that are originally from Portal Nicole, although that’s not where I found them – thought I would share in case some hadn’t seen them.

Sorry guys, I saw this, like, two days ago and never got around to posting it in all the other crap going on. From the Sioux City Journal:

‘Dancing with the Stars’ pays big dividends

LOS ANGELES — “Dancing with the Stars” contestant today, TV host tomorrow?
That’s the reality for many participants.

Derek Hough, one of the professionals and a two-time winner, says it’s common for contestants to play through the pain. “It’s just part of the life of an athlete,” he says. “Nobody’s ever 100 percent. You just learn to work through it.”

For those who don’t harbor dreams of winning, the show is just a lot of fun.

Pressure, though, can be intense. Last season Hough remembers the pre-season buzz about his partner, Nicole Scherzinger. “They were expecting something big from her — she should be good because she was one of the Pussycat Dolls. But knowing that I realized we had the opportunity to do more interesting routines.” Hough upped the difficulty level and the two won the mirror-ball trophies.

Models usually get a bad rap, he says. But contestants with some dancing in their backgrounds are often expected to deliver more than others. “When I learned I got Nicole, I was terrified.”

While professionals have won back-to-back titles, it’s not common to see them get front runners two seasons in a row. “You never know who you’re going to get,” Hough says. “But if I got Betty White, I know she’d win the whole thing.”

The Picture used was this one:

Too much of a good thing is bad for you, I hear. Nah.

From Zimbio – they have more, I only picked two, so click the link.

ETA: I added a couple more because the first one is just TOO funny. I have no idea what he’s doing.
