Video: Pia Toscano Performs on 'Dancing with the Stars' Results Show

Last night, American Idol castoff Pia Toscano performed on the results show of Dancing with the Stars.

Video: The Situation Is A 'DWTS' Disaster

DTF, GTL and TLF? The Situation had two left feet on last night’s episode of Dancing With the Stars. He and partner Karina Smirnoff performed an Argentine tango that was quite possibly the worst performance in the show’s history. Mike managed to pull only 28 out of a possible 60 points, putting him way behind the other contestants. More »
