'DWTS' GLEB SAVCHENKO I'm Joining Chippendales ... As Celebrity Guest Host!!!

"Dancing With the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko is trading his ballroom shoes for a bowtie and cuffs ... because he's joining Chippendales as the latest guest host with the male revue.

Our sources tell us Gleb is gearing up for a limited engagement with the legendary Chippendales hunks ... joining the guys onstage for 3 weeks of performances at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

We're told Gleb will be doing the Chippendales thing in Sin City from April 25 to May 12 ... and once he gets his feet wet, he's going to hit the road and join the world tour cast for 6 Atlantic City shows in July at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Gleb -- who partnered with Chrishell Stause on 'DWTS' -- says he's thrilled and honored by the opportunity, and it's going to be the first time he's performed in Las Vegas.

Be on the lookout ... our sources say Gleb's a big Patrick Swayze fan, and he's going to bust out some of Patrick's iconic dance moves during his Chippendales run.

Frankly, Gleb checks all the Chippendales boxes here ... he's a tall, dark and handsome dancer with a pretty solid stage presence to boot, so this move makes a lot of sense.

Gleb's joining Chippendales as the show celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, and he's got some big ... shoes to fill as far as celeb guest hosts go.

Tyson Beckford, Ian Ziering, Joey Lawrence, "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino and Nyle DiMarco have all done the Chippendales thing over the years ... and now it's Gleb's turn!!!

Adivina en quién ¡se ha convertido este pequeño!

Antes de que este niño, con su gorrito y su bufanda, se convirtiera en actor y presentador de televisión... bailaba claqué a los 3 años y crecía con su hermana en Chula Vista, California.

Es uno de los mejores bailarines de "Dancing With The Stars" y formó pareja con la bailarina profesional Cheryl Burke en 2006 y quedó segundo. Cuando no está delante de la cámara, practica boxeo en el gimnasio (mostrando su físico) o graba vídeos en TikTok con sus hijos.

¿Necesitas una pista más? A.C. Slater.

¿Adivinas quién es?

Guess Who This Beanie Kid Turned Into!

Before this kid chillin' in the snow -- with his beanie and scarf in tow -- turned into an actor and television host, he was just tap dancing at age 3 and growing up with his sister in Chula Vista, California.

He is one of the OG's of "Dancing With The Stars" ... partnering up with pro dancer Cheryl Burke back in 2006 and finishing 2nd place. When he's not in front of the camera he's either boxing in the gym (showing off his buff physique) or making TikTok vids with his kids!

Need one more clue? A.C. Slater!

Can you guess who he is?

'DWTS' Judge Derek Hough Wife Recovering After Brain Surgery ... Long Road Ahead

Derek Hough says his wife, Hayley, is recovering after having brain surgery, but it's gonna take quite a while for her to feel 100 percent again.

In a message posted on Instagram Friday, the "Dancing with the Stars" judge gave an update to his fans on Hayley's situation, pointing out that she has a "long road of recovery" after she suffered a "cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy."

The Mayo Clinic defines an intracranial hematoma as blood that forms within brain tissue or below the skull, putting pressure on the cranium. The condition is usually caused by a blood vessel that bursts in the brain as a result of head trauma.

In his IG post, Derek also talked about how Hayley inspires him with her will and strength and "no more so than in the last 48 hrs,” when she suffered her medical emergency.

On Thursday morning, Hayley became disoriented and was rushed to a D.C. hospital after their "Symphony of Dance" performance the night before.

Derek also gave thanks to his fans for their love and support, explaining, "The offers of assistance that have poured in have been so humbling and appreciated."

He added, "Our hope is that as a family, we can somehow and someway pay it forward."

TAYLOR SWIFT SURPRISE VIDEO CAMEO ON 'DWTS' ... Night Honoring Her Music

ALL ABOUT "ME!"
ABC

Taylor Swift grooved her way onto the "Dancing with the Stars" stage ... surprising contestants and the audience with a special video message for the night's theme ... "A Celebration of Taylor Swift.”

"Hey guys, it’s Taylor. I just want to say thank you so much for having this me-themed night on 'Dancing With the Stars,'” the pop star said Tuesday ... explaining she couldn't be there due to tour commitments in Brazil.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Let's not forget ... Travis Kelce has also kept her preoccupied during their whirlwind, headline-grabbing romance ... but there was no mention of him as she encouragingly told the remaining stars they were in good hands with her choreographer Mandy Moore -- not the "This Is Us" star, FYI -- with their routines.

Taylor's best chart-topping tunes such as "Lover", "Shake It Off", "Look What You Made Me Do", "Cruel Summer", "August" and "Lavender Haze" were given the dancefloor treatment ... but even the star's good vibes couldn't save Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold from elimination.

The evening was anticipated since October when pro Peta Murgatroyd let slip of the Taylor-themed evening ... with cohost Alfonso Ribeiro finally confirming the news on November 7.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The star herself has appeared on the show three times to perform ... first "Jump Then Fall" and "Love Story" in 2009, then "Mine" and "White Horse" in 2010 and finally "We Are Never Getting Back Together" in 2012.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

And, though she hasn't been back on the 'DWTS' since, one thing is certain ... Taylor will always steal the spotlight even if she's not onstage herself.

Taylor Swift Sorprende con video en "DWTS" ... noche de homenaje a su música

Todo sobre mí
ABC

Taylor Swift estuvo presente en el escenario de "Dancing with the Stars", sorprendiendo a los concursantes y al público con un video para festejar su noche temática: "Una celebración de Taylor Swift".

"Hola chicos, es Taylor. Solo quiero darles las gracias por tener esta noche temática en "Dancing With the Stars"", dijo la estrella del pop el martes, explicando que no pudo estar presente debido a sus compromisos de gira en Brasil.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

No olvidemos, Travis Kelce también la ha mantenido preocupada durante su agitado romance, pero no hubo mención a él mientras animaba a las estrellas que estaban en buenas manos de su coreógrafa Mandy Moore, que no es la estrella de "This Is Us".

Algunas de las mejores canciones de Taylor, como "Lover", "Shake It Off", "Look What You Made Me Do", "Cruel Summer", "August" y "Lavender Haze", fueron tocadas en la pista de baile, pero ni las buenas vibras de la estrella pudieron salvar a Harry Jowsey y Rylee Arnold de la eliminación.

La noche dedicada a Taylor había sido anticipada en octubre por la profesional Peta Murgatroyd. Luego la confirmaron el 7 de noviembre con el coanfitrión Alfonso Ribeiro.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

La propia estrella ha aparecido tres veces en el programa para actuar, primero en 2009, donde tocó "Jump Then Fall" y "Love Story", luego en 2010, donde interpretó "Mine" y "White Horse" y finalmente en 2012, cuando tocó "We Are Never Getting Back Together".

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Y, aunque no ha vuelto a Dancing with the Stars desde entonces, una cosa es cierta... Taylor siempre se robará el protagonismo, aunque no esté en el escenario.

Kyle Richards Think My Separation Is For Clicks? You're an IDIOT!!!

COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH
Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast

Kyle Richards is comin' after folks who think her marriage trouble with Mauricio Umansky is a clever way to stay relevant ... saying a popularity contest for a "dumb TV show" is the last thing on her mind.

The 'RHOBH' star dragged her doubters during Tuesday's episode of Bravo's "Hot Mic" podcast, telling Emmy-Nominated Executive Producer, Alex Baskin one of the dumbest things she's heard since joining the 'Real Housewives' cast is the idea that she'd put her family through hell so the show could get a boost in ratings.

She shot down claims she's fabricating the issues she and Mauricio are facing lately in their relationship -- adding she's got no real reason to try and stay relevant by pointing out she's already been on TV for 13 seasons.

Kyle's also addressed the so-called gold digger theory ... people who think she's just staying with her real estate mogul husband to spend his money. Well, she's got a bold response -- you really gotta see how she puts that one to bed.

As we reported, Kyle and Mauricio announced they were separating back in July, after 27 years of marriage ... but denied they were getting a divorce. They admitted they've been facing a "challenging" year, but said there was no wrongdoing on anyone's part.

DROPPING THE D-WORD
TMZ.com

Since then, they've gone on family vacations together and continue to live under the same roof. Mauricio's denied there's anything going on with his 'DWTS' partner Emma Slater, but Kyle seems skeptical -- and even referred to their split as a "divorce" during BravoCon.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
TMZ.com

Hard to say where they stand today, but Kyle, at least, is making it clear all the drama is very real, and NOT manufactured for clout.

KYLE RICHARDS & MAURICIO UMANSKY NO PRENUP ... No Immediate Divorce Plan

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have no immediate plans to go down the road of divorce, but it's worth noting -- they do not have a prenup in place ... TMZ has learned.

With Kyle recently referring to their separation as a straight-up divorce -- there's a fortune on the table if that apparent slip of the tongue becomes reality ... although sources with direct knowledge tell us neither Kyle nor Mauricio has lawyered up.

Multiple sources tell TMZ ... Kyle and Mauricio are not directly talking about ending their marriage, but we're told the thought is certainly present ... so division of assets is something to consider, assuming they decide to cross that bridge.

Kyle has made her mark on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and scored millions of dollars, and Mauricio has acquired a net worth of $100M with nearly $5B in real estate sales.

When he married Kyle, he wasn't even working in real estate. He was making peanuts while working in fashion before going into real estate, working for Kyle's brother-in-law Rick Hilton and then opening The Agency in 2011.

The pair's decision to separate wasn't an easy one -- Kyle broke down in tears this past weekend when asked where things stood between them during a Q&A at BravoCon.

JUST FRIENDS???
TMZ.com

It looks like Mauricio is having an easier time, enjoying the single life with some cozy sightings with his 'DWTS' partner, Emma Slater.

As of now, the exes are playing friendly ... so if they do decide to end their marriage, some accountants and lawyers are going to have a busy time dividing the spoils of their marriage.

Kyle Richards Breaks Down in Tears at BravoCon ... Talking Mauricio Split

11/5/23
EMOTIONAL ONSTAGE
TooFab

Kyle Richards' separation from her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, is clearly weighing on her -- 'cause she was reduced to tears talking about it at BravoCon.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star was onstage Sunday in Vegas, where she was doing a Q&A ... and where she was eventually asked point blank, where do things stand between her and Mauricio right now?

The question got her quite emotional. As reported by our sister site, TooFab, Kyle first said she and Mauricio were trying to navigate this as best they could -- explaining ... "We love each other very much and we are family no matter what happens. My three girls still live at home, only Farrah has her own place. [Mauricio] was busy doing 'Dancing with the Stars,' so he wasn't around as much. We’re trying to figure it out. We know we love each other."

DROPPING THE D-WORD
TMZ.com

KR then started to choke up, saying she hears everyone telling her to just "fix" the problem -- but as she clearly states here, it's not nearly as simple as it sounds.

Of course, this comes on the heels of Kyle's other interview last night at BravoCon -- where she referred to their separation as an outright divorce ... a slip of the tongue, it seems.

From what we can gather ... things are rocky between the couple at the moment, and while it sounds like she and Mauricio might want to reconcile -- there are obstacles that stand in their way ... even as they continue to live under the same roof and film for 'RHOBH.'

LETTING IT SLIP
TMZ.com

That's something Kyle addressed Sunday too ... saying she didn't want her fights with Mauricio caught on camera, and that Bravo producers noticed something was off.

Adding an extra layer of complexity is the fact that Mauricio continues to get cozy with his 'DWTS' partner, Emma Slater, with whom he was again spotted at dinner this weekend.

Remember, this follows a pretty public outing the two of them shared a couple weeks ago -- where they were seen holding hands -- but people in his world tried explaining it away as merely platonic ... even though Kyle isn't buying it, and found the whole thing disrespectful.

Bottom line ... it's complicated, and Kyle's doing the best she can in uncharted waters.

MAURICIO UMANSKY Y EMMA SLATER JUNTOS DE NUEVO EN L.A.

Mauricio Umansky y Emma Slater fueron vistos juntos de nuevo. Esta vez el dúo se presentó en un club en Los Ángeles.

La pareja de baile de "Dancing With the Stars" llegó en un Porsche con una acompañante femenina. Salieron los tres del estacionamiento y caminaron hacia el Hotel Line en Koreatown viernes por la noche.

Échale un vistazo a estas fotos obtenidas por TMZ. Maurico y Emma están paseando del brazo juntos, mientras otra mujer los acompaña.

Testigos presenciales nos dicen que Mauricio puso su mano en la espalda de Emma en un momento dado, pero al mirar nuestras fotos, es difícil saber si realmente la está tocando.

Nos han dicho que Mauricio y Emma estaban muy cariñosos, sonriendo y charlando, pero no se besaban ni se tomaban de la mano.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que el trío cruzó a través de una entrada lateral en el hotel y desapareció en el interior del club.

Mauricio y Emma han hecho esto antes. Como informamos, la pareja de "DWTS" fue fotografiada de la mano saliendo de un restaurante en Beverly Hills a finales de octubre.

La esposa de Maurico, Kyle Richards, no estaba muy contenta y eliminó intencionalmente una foto de Instagram mostrando así su apoyo a Mauricio y Emma en "DWTS".

la emoción está a flor de piel

Mauricio trató de aclarar la situación diciendo que estaba de la mano con Emma porque estaba abrumado por la emoción, mientras hablaba de los buenos recuerdos de su matrimonio con Kyle.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la estrella de "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" no creyó la historia de Mauricio y encontró sus acciones "muy irrespetuosas", a pesar de que la pareja está separada y que Kyle estuvo hablando de divorcio durante una reciente entrevista en BravoCon.

Kyle Richards Oops, Did I say 'Divorce?' Refers to Split with Mauricio as Ending Marriage

11/4/23
DROPPING THE D-WORD
TMZ.com

Kyle Richards is one to choose her words carefully, so it's especially shocking she used the word "divorce" to describe what she and Mauricio Umansky are going through.

Kyle was at BravoCon Saturday when she talked to TooFab and other reporters, about her tough 2023 ... "I've gone through a lot this last year that does change you. Losing my best friend to suicide changed me. Going through my divorce, all that has made me stronger but it definitely changes you as a person. I feel good."

Kyle and Mauricio have always called their split a separation, and this is the first time her reference was about ending their 27-year marriage.

LETTING IT SLIP
TMZ.com

She was even asked about reconciliation, and she skirted the question ... saying "I just take it a day at a time ... We're still living together under the same roof and I'm proud of the way that we are navigating through this."

As we've been reporting, Mauricio's been super tight with his "DWTS" dance partner, Emma Slater, and even after getting booted from the show, they were seen out together Saturday night, walking into an L.A. nightclub arm in arm.

As for Kyle, she's been super close with country star Morgan Wade for months, although they have not publicly defined their relationship other than to say they're close friends and collaborators on a documentary.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Mauricio Umansky & Emma Slater Hanging Out AGAIN In L.A. Kyle Richards Is MIA

Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater were seen hanging out AGAIN ... this time the duo showed up at a club in Los Angeles.

The dance partners on "Dancing With the Stars" were driven in a Porsche by a female companion to a parking lot, where they got out and walked toward the Line Hotel in Koreatown Friday night.

Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ ... Maurico and Emma are strolling arm in arm together, along with the third party.

Eyewitnesses tell us ... Mauricio placed his hand on Emma's back at one point, but it's hard to tell from our images if he's actually touching her.

We're told Mauricio and Emma were very chummy, smiling and chatting, yet there was no kissing or hand-holding.

Our sources say the trio went through a side entrance at the hotel and disappeared inside the club.

Mauricio and Emma have done this dance before. As we reported ... the 'DWTS' pair was pictured holding hands while leaving a restaurant in Bev Hills in late October.

JUST FRIENDS?
TMZ.com

Maurico's wife, Kyle Richards, was none too happy, intentionally removing an Instagram photo, showing her support for Mauricio and Emma on 'DWTS.'

EMOTIONS ARE HIGH
Instagram / @theemmaslater

Mauricio tried to clarify the situation, saying he was holding hands with Emma because he was overcome with emotion, while discussing fond memories of his marriage to Kyle.

Our sources say the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star didn't buy Mauricio's story and found his actions "super disrespectful" -- despite the couple being separated and Kyle talking about divorce during a recent interview at BravoCon.

MORE THAN FRIENDS???

Complicating matters even more is Kyle's rumored relationship with singer Morgan Wade. The two have been spotted everywhere together, but they have not confirmed or denied any romance.

Mauricio Umansky Speaks Out With 'DWTS' Partner Emma Slater ... Hand-Holding Doesn't Mean We're Dating!

EMOTIONS ARE HIGH
Instagram / @theemmaslater

Mauricio Umansky and his "Dancing with the Stars" dance partner Emma Slater are lookin' to clear the air about the pic of them holding hands ... claiming folks are blowing it out way of proportion.

The 2 talked about the viral photo on social media Thursday, taking a break from dance rehearsals to comment ... saying they grabbed some sushi after rehearsal -- following an "emotional week" -- and they were chatting outside after when he grabbed Emma's hand.

He says from there, they headed to the car -- as we reported, their hands were still locked -- but that's about it.

Emma even joked about how some think the brief interaction means they're full-on dating.

Remember, sources with direct knowledge told us much of what MU and ES are tellin' their followers ... but it was a story Kyle Richards certainly wasn't buying.

Mauricio Umansky Habla junto a su compañera de "DWTS" Emma Slater... Sobre su foto de la mano

LAs emociones eran grandes
Instagram / @theemmaslater

Mauricio Umansky y su pareja de baile de "Dancing with the Stars", Emma Slater, están buscando aclarar las cosas sobre la foto en la que aparecen tomados de la mano, alegando que la gente está suponiendo de forma desproporcionada.

Los dos hablaron de la imagen que se hizo viral en las redes sociales el jueves durante un descanso de los ensayos. Comentaron que ese día fueron a comer sushi porque había sido una "semana emocional" y que después se quedaron conversando afuera cuando él agarró la mano de Emma.

Él dice que a partir de ahí se dirigieron al carro, y como informamos, sus manos todavía estaban entrelazadas.

Emma incluso bromeó acerca de cómo algunos piensan que la breve interacción significa que están saliendo completamente.

Recuerden, fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dijeron más o menos lo que Mauricio y Emma están contando a sus seguidores, pero es una historia que Kyle Richards ciertamente no se cree.

"Fue difícil de ver"

Nos dijeron que las fotos de Mauricio y Emma fueron consideradas una falta de respeto a la estrella de 'Real Housewives' y ella dio sus razones para no creer su versión de las cosas el miércoles en "Watch What Happens Live".

Kyle Richards Ella inició la separación de Mauricio ... Sus fotos con Emma Slater realmente dolieron

10/25/23
"Fue difícil de ver"
Bravo

Kyle Richards está revelando que ella inició la ruptura con Mauricio Umansky, y dice que verlo de la mano con su compañera de "Dancing With The Stars" fue más que doloroso.

La estrella de 'Real Housewives' se abrió sobre el estado de su matrimonio el miércoles en "Watch What Happens Live", en donde le contó a Andy Cohen todo sobre su vida después de separarse de su marido de 27 años, sobre todo que la ruptura fue su idea.

También confirmó que siguen viviendo juntos, aunque durmiendo en habitaciones separadas, un movimiento que en broma atribuyó a la decoración masculina de su dormitorio principal, que simplemente no encaja con su estilo.

En cuanto a la reacción de la familia a la separación, Kyle admitió que fue difícil para todos, especialmente para sus hijos.

En la entrevista también ahondó un poco en los rumores de que ella y la cantante de country Morgan Wade están juntas, y admitió que son amigas muy cercanas. Por supuesto, Andy le preguntó sobre las fotos de Mauricio y la bailarina Emma Slater de la mano.

La estrella de televisión dijo que estaba muy dolida después de ver las fotos de ellos juntos, y aunque no los acusó directamente de engaño, sonaba muy seguro de que algo andaba mal. Su amiga, Teddi Mellencamp, incluso enumeró las señales de advertencia.

Por cierto, Kyle también confirmó la historia que publicamos el miércoles, que borró la foto de Mauricio y Emma de sus redes sociales en respuesta a verlos tomados de la mano. Pero dijo que aún tiene pruebas de que votó por ellos, a pesar de sentirse traicionada.

Kyle Richards I Initiated Separation from Mo ... His Pics with Emma Slater 'Really Hurt'

10/25/23
"IT WAS HARD TO SEE"
Bravo

Kyle Richards is revealing she initiated the breakup with Mauricio Umansky ... and says seeing him holding hands on a dinner date with his 'DWTS' partner was beyond painful.

The 'Real Housewives' star opened up about the state of her marriage on Wednesday's "Watch What Happens Live" ... telling Andy Cohen all about life after splitting from her husband of 27 years -- most notably, saying the split was her idea.

She also confirms they are still living together, albeit sleeping in separate rooms ... a move she jokingly attributed to their primary bedroom's manly decor -- it just doesn't fit her style.

TAKING THE INITIATIVE
TMZ.com

As for the family's reaction to the separation ... Kyle admits it was tough for everyone, especially their kids.

Kyle really let it all out on 'WWHL' -- she danced a bit around the speculation she and country singer Morgan Wade are an item, but admitted they are really close friends ... and of course, Andy had to ask about the pics of Mauricio and pro dancer Emma Slater holding hands.

The reality star says she was pretty hurt after seeing the pics of them together, and while she didn't directly accuse them of cheating, she sounded pretty certain something's fishy. Her pal, Teddi Mellencamp, even pointed out the warning signs.

BTW, Kyle also confirmed the story we broke Wednesday -- that she took down the photo of Mauricio and Emma from her social media in response to seeing them holding hands -- but also claims she has proof she still voted for them, despite feeling betrayed.
