Billy Ray Cyrus News

Another former Dancing with the Stars contestant has landed a reality show hosting gig.

We just published a story that hyped up Ian Ziering's duties as the man in charge of Your Mama Don't Dance.

Now, season four Dancing with the Stars celebrity Billy Ray Cyrus has been tapped to host Nashville Star 6. He made the announcement during a Wednesday night appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

"This year it is all about the dream, about the music, about persistence and never giving up faith. Putting the music first," said Cyrus. "You know I've been to the fair and I've seen the bear and I am really excited."

Does Billy Ray Cyrus wish to be voted off Dancing with the Stars?

After it was announced that John Ratzenberger was eliminated this week, cameras caught the country music star looking downright perturbed that it wasn't him (pictured, below).

However, in a post on the official Billy Ray Cyrus website, Tish Cyrus defends her husband's reaction:

"He truly felt like he was going to be the one to go home last night and the fact that he didn't made him so happy! We both know that has a lot to do with you guys! All of these rumors about him wanting to get voted off is just NOT TRUE. He is very competitive and is ready to go down fighting!"

Well, okay then. But that doesn't really explain the face he made.

It shouldn't matter anyway. We don't see Cyrus lasting past next week. The judges didn't love that he chose to spotlight his partner, Karina Smirnoff (who doesn't look thrilled to be staying in the photo above, either, does she?), in one of his most recent dances.

While the Hannah Montana actor may have improved a lot over the course of the show, the competition (have you seen Apolo Anton Ohno?!?) is just too strong.

It was an evening of TWO dances last night. Ballroom and Latin were on the agenda for our Dancing with the Stars contestants.

Were there any perfect scores? Are Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough still the favorites? Or did a shirtless Maksim Chmerkovskiy steal their shoe-tapping thunder?
