Rough Tough Derek Hough

That’s what I thought when I saw this picture from mrpoplife. :-)

Love this picture!

Derek Hough and Cheryl…Burke

:-)  Hee.  Derek is lookin’ fine, sitting with Cheryl at the Music Saves Lives event last thursday.  And before anyone gets too excited by the thought that Shannon was there too, I found this article at the same time, from Digital Spy. While I like the idea of “Derek the Ladies man” I don’t like it so much that I want it smeared all over the UK. :-)

Oh, and GO DEREK AND NICOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just had to throw that in there. :-)

Derek Goes Shoppin’

And he’s looking better than ever!! A fan (Curls) had alerted me to photos at WENN (which of course show up less than an hour after I was last there) and my response was: “thanks but I can’t do anything with their photos” mainly because of the watermarks. I usually wait for them to show up somewhere else.  But I figured I would at least give a link.  You can see all of them at WENN.

Behind the Scenes – Download

Well, after a lot of tinkering, I have an HD copy of the Behind the Scenes with Cheryl Cole video and it’s all in one, great piece WITH the actual video at the end. The video is better than the previous version I had because the funky pink banners are absent. All thanks to @AllThingsGA and @xLukesterx for all the help and the video!

Video of Derek in Burn the Floor!

Pippi1748 had an extra treat she found on her computer today!!  Thanks, girl!!

Behind the Scenes with Cheryl Cole – Full Length

Okay, these are YouTubes and since these things sometimes get pulled, I’m working on a megaupload version so people can download and keep it on their machines to watch in the event it gets yanked. :-)  In the meantime, here are the videos. Oh, and thanks to KimberleyWalshOnline and @AllThingsGA!! KimberleyWalshOnline for the YouTube and @AllThingsGA for her assistance in getting video downloads.

Behind the Scenes with Cheryl Cole

Just a tantalizing taste of Behind the Scenes with Cheryl Cole while I work on getting the whole damn thing. It could take a while – slow download for some reason. Watch —> Preview of Behind the Scenes

Derek Hough and Cheryl Cole on ET

In the event that you missed it when it aired on TV.  Don’t watch it if you’re sick and tired of this story – I am, but I figured some who didn’t might want to see it.  It’s not bad, really. Silly stuff – only made ET because of the Derek “connection”. The good news is that on Monday (and thereafter) he’ll have a chance to have his say when he’s asked about it (over and over and over).

Just When You Think the British Press Has Exhausted the Topic…

….they find something else to add to the increasingly silly mix. Geez. Remember the link I published the other day to the preview of Behind the Scenes of Parachute? Well, they found it. :-) And the title of their “article” isn’t at all misleading. From Metro:

Cheryl Cole caught on camera in pyjamas with Derek Hough
Cheryl Cole has been caught on film in her pyjamas in the back of a car with dancer Derek Hough.

But no need for Ashley to turn on the waterworks just yet – the pair were filming behind-the-scenes footage for her new music video.

The X Factor judge was hard at work shooting the video for new single Parachutes when everyone had to be evacuated from the set because of a fire alarm.

In exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, a dolled-up Cheryl is seen complaining about being turfed out dressed in her PJs and slippers.
She tells the cameras: “Be careful what you wish for. I wanted to be in my pyjamas and me slippers, just not at the last shot at a fire alarm.”
“Yes, we have been evacuated from the building.”

Hough, who is sitting with her in a car, then pops his head around and declares “it’s nearly midnight”.

But before tongues start wagging too violently, the pair are not alone in the clip and are surrounded by crew members.

But the best thing about this article is that we might see this behind the scenes thing earlier than expected.

‘On Set With Cheryl Cole’ will be broadcast tonight at 8.30pm and on Saturday from 5pm on MTV.

Which is about a half hour from now. Good thing – turns out I have to work all day saturday after all – training. Yay.
