‘Dancing’ Loses Another Celeb, One Week Before The Semifinals

Four couples are heading through to the Season 13 semifinals on “Dancing with the Stars.”

(SPOILER– this story contains the results from Tuesday’s “DWTS.”)

The ballroom jury, however, has spoken and host Nancy Grace and her partner – first time professional (former troupe member) Tristan MacManus – will not be joining them.

On Tuesday, the HLN host was eliminated from the competition, taking Tristan out of the game too.

“I am so proud, but I really cannot take the credit,” Nancy said after learning the news.

Turning to her partner, Nancy praised her Irish ballroom hunk, who she – at times – appeared to have a tense relationship with – for getting her just shy of the semifinals.

“It’s been all Tristan from the get go, and the whole crew from ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ my family who flew out here to take care of my twins so I could dance, all of you and especially to you Trist — thank you,” she said, caressing the 29-year-old’s face.

“Nice,” a surprised Tristan responded. “That’s [it], all paid off now.”

While it’s a competition for the celebs, Tristan managed to get his partner further than many more seasoned “DWTS” alumni, and he shared his gratitude with the audience for embracing the pair.

“Thanks for being very welcoming to me and also to Nancy and we’ve really, really had a fun time and it’s the support that we get from you all that really pushes us on to do it, and we can’t be disappointed to make [it] this far,” he said. “From the start, we’ve always said to each other, it’s not about being the best, it’s just about doing your best and I think that’s what we did.”

“DWTS” returns with the semifinals on Monday at 8/7C on ABC with Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake, Hope Solo and J.R. Martinez competing for mirrorball glory.

Glam Slam: Seven Moves To A ‘Rockin’ Body

Courteney Cox and Robin Wright are fortysomethings with awesome bods, thanks to celeb trainer Grace Lazenby and her “Rockin Models” workout.

Grace, who has also worked with Carrie Underwood and “Twilight’s” Nikki Reed, shares her “Rockin Model” Sexy 7 workout to help you create the shapely body you want in seven signature moves.

1. PLIÉ: Place your heels together and toes slightly apart, and roll up onto the balls of your feet. Wrap your hips in and contract your gluteals. Bend your knees slowly, then lift and repeat. Avoid distributing the weight onto your knees and keep the core tight. You can use a body bar or chair for stability. Repeat 4 sets of 8.

2. THE WALK: A plié with a bit of “fancy” and “sexy,” essentially this is a grande plie with a little attitude!

Place your heels together and toes slightly apart, and roll up onto the balls of your feet. Wrap your hips in and contract your gluteals. Move your hips side to side, placing the weight in the while moving your gluteals down to the floor in a 2 count down, and then move them up in a 2 count up. Avoid distributing the weight onto your knees and keep the core tight. Use the support of a bar or broom if needed. Repeat 4 sets of 8.

3. CRAWL: A basic plié with dash of “booty intensity.”

Place your feet in 2nd position and lower and lift for 4 sets of 8. Hold your plie halfway down and begin moving the hips side to side. Proceed on by moving your body up and down the pole, while sticking your hips back and keeping your weight into your gluteals. Move up and down the pole, while keeping the weight in the gluteals quads and inner thighs. Repeat 4 sets of 8.

4. THE FLOAT: This is a movement that floats from side angle through warrior 2. This yoga flow movement works your obliques and opens and stretches the upper body while tightening the legs and hips. Repeat 8 times each side.

The “Rockin Models” motto for the float is “Keep your foundation strong and heart open!”

5. THE BALLERINA OBLIQUE LIFT: Want a waist as small as a ballerina…well this is the move for you!

Sit on the floor with weight on one hip. Extend the opposite leg out with a bent knee and the knee in alignment with your hip. The right hand is overhead with ballerina arms. Pull the right arm down while contracting the lats and obliques. The movement should be very small and concentrated. The movement is great for isolating those hard to get places around the waist. Repeat 4 sets of 8.

6. KICKS AND HAMSTRING LIFTERS: Lay on your back with your hips off the floor. Place the ball of the right foot on your left knee. As you lift your left gluteal up simultaneously kick the right leg into the air. Touch down with the right leg while the left is tapping the right knee. Repeat on the other side. Repeat 4 sets of 8 singles and then hold 8 counts on the right and 8 counts on the left. Repeat again.

This move will not only lift the booty but also lengthen for those long lean lines in the back of the hamstring!

7. SIDE-LYING PUMPS: Want a booty that is lifted for those high heels? This is a great move to lift and detail the gluteals without building them.

Lay on your side and place both legs bent in a 90 degree angle. Lift your top leg to tabletop position. Angle the knee down towards the bottom knee and then pump through the gluteals and lift towards the ceiling 2-3 inches above the bottom leg.

For added intensity, move the leg forward 2-3 inches in front of the bottom leg. Repeat 4 sets of 8 to feel the burn!
