Bruno Calls Kendra A Stripper, Propositions Her

Bruno Tonioli got seriously overheated following Kendra Wilkinson's samba routine with partner Louis van Amstel on Monday's Dancing with the Stars ("Guilty Pleasures" night).

After the Playboy alum and reality star, 25, pulled off a super-sexy dance to Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca," the eccentric judge didn't offer much in the way of constructive criticism.

Instead, Tonioli quipped, "Ladies and gentleman, Dancing with the Stars presents: Revenge of the Stripper, Part 1!"

Tonioli then threw out a dollar bill and lay down on the judges' table. "Let's do it now, let's get it over with!"

Wilkinson and van Amstel laughed nervously and stepped back. The other judges praised the pair. "That was a guilty pleasure, my dear!" Carrie Ann Inaba gushed. "You were so in your element in this dance...Boy, that was a big performance!"

Added Len Goodman: "The more you gyrate, the more I palpitate! Well done."

As she rehearsed her routine, Wilkinson promised to bring "a lot of jiggle" -- plus clean , crisp lines and perfect technique -- to the performance.

"I'm gonna shake my butt all the way to the top of the leader board!"

In the end, she nabbed 25 points -- including a grateful 9 from Tonioli.

Kendra Wilkinson: I Did Everything I Could Have



Sometimes you just have an off night. And that seemed to be the case for Kendra Wilkinson, who landed at the bottom of the leader board on Dancing with the Stars Monday night.

"The scores suck," the reality star said of earning just 18 points – the night's lowest score – for her Viennese waltz with partner Louis van Amstel. "That's the way it goes. I didn't do a perfect job and I got the scores I got, and that's the way it goes."

After judge Bruno Tonioli's highly animated critique, head judge Len Goodman reminded him, "These people are beginners, Bruno. Don't be cruel."

Kendra admitted to having mixed feelings about the routine. "Going into it I didn't feel comfortable but when the music started I did feel comfortable," she said. "I felt in place. I felt like I did everything I could have done."

So what went wrong? "I had three missteps," she says. "It sucks because I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. But I moved on from it and I finished it."

Audrina Patridge: Helping Tony Wax His Legs

My partner Tony Dovolani and I flew to New York right after the elimination show last Tuesday night. When we get back to L.A., he's getting his legs waxed! As soon as we land, we're going straight to Voda Spa, and after that we'll head back to the studio to start dance rehearsal.

One day last week toward the end of the night, probably around 11:30 p.m. after six or seven hours of rehearsal, I started getting exhausted and kind of loopy from being up so long and dancing all day. Tony motivated me by saying, "Alright, if we don't get all three eights from the judges, then I'll get my legs waxed." I was like, "What! Are you sure? Do you know what you just said?"

Of course, on Monday's show, we got two eights and Bruno gave us a seven. So, Tony has to get his legs waxed. Tony, you should have said if we get three eights, then you'll get your legs waxed!

And, I'm going to be helping in the process. I will pull one strip, but that's it! I feel so bad for Tony. I waxed my legs once in high school, and it was the most excruciating pain. I never did it again. So, I'm going to hold his hand and be there for him – but I don't think he knows what he's gottten himself into!

Audrina Patridge Talks Bruno's 'Harsh' Remarks

Audrina Patridge has Michael Bolton's back.

The Dancing with the Stars competitor thinks Bolton, 57, deserves an apology from Bruno Tonioli, who scathingly chided the singer's jive number on Monday night's show.

"It definitely was really brutal, and Michael was really bummed out after that. I think he should say something," Patridge, 25, told Us Magazine at Thursday's Make Up Forever Boutique Launch at Sephora Soho in NYC. (Tonioli said Bolton's jive was "the worst" in the show's history.)

But, Tonioli has to be a little mean, the star admitted: "He is a judge, and that's his job to give his opinion and be brutally honest...If he was too nice, it wouldn't be an interesting show."

The show's producers stood behind their sharp-tongued judge. After Bolton's Tuesday's night elimination from the show, he demanded an apology from Tonioli for his withering remarks. In a Wednesday statement, producers said, "We don't feel Bruno should be expected to apologize for doing his job."

How does Patridge (paired with Tony Dovolani) keep her wits about her come show time?

"I get nervous and jittery before going out there with 700-800 people out there watching you. It's nerve-wracking!" she admitted.

"When I am on the dance floor, I just focus on Tony. I'm in this little bubble. That's all I focus on -- otherwise, I will mess up."
