Shannon Elizabeth News

Derek Hough is making news on the dance floor these days, as he and season seven partner Brooke Burke are leading the competition.

But we're more curious about his life away from the camera, as this professional has admitted that he's living with former Dancing with the Stars partner - and current girlfriend - Shannon Elizabeth.

“[Mark Ballas] and I have an apartment, and I’m supposed to be living there,” Hough told People Magazine, “but I live with Shannon at her house, and our three [Almost Amy] bandmates live with Shannon and I.”

Sounds like a bustling mansion, but Hough insists the actress doesn't mind.

“She was like, ‘They can stay here until they find a new place,’ And, once they started talking about finding a new place, Shannon and I were like, ‘Wait, we’re going to miss them when they go.’ And we were like, ‘Why don’t you just stay here? We’ll make rooms up for everyone.’”

They've been voted off Dancing with the Stars. But might we not have seen the last of Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth on reality TV?

TV Guide reports that the rumored couple is in talks with the production company that Melanie Brown runs with her husband, Stephen Belafonte.

The proposed reality series would explore the recently ousted pair's career moves, including Elizabeth's acting efforts and Derek's passion for music. It would also highlight their new-found "showmance."

So, you tell us: would you watch? Or would a Shannon/Derek reality series be - sorry for this - a quickstep to regret?

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were voted off Dancing with the Stars last night.

But fans that wanna see this rumored couple interact can check out the clip below, as Jimmy Kimmel grills the pair on their relationship:

There was twice the good news on Dancing with the Stars last night for fans of Cristian de la Fuente:

1. His injured arm is okay;
2. He's still very much alive in the competition.

In a modest surprise, Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were voted off the show this week. This might not be the worst news in the world for the tandem, though:

They are rumored to be dating. So more time alone can only be a good thing.

Derek and Shannon were joined in the bottom two by Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolan. Said Elizabeth on being eliminated:

"I've made a friend for life."

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth are still alive this season on Dancing with the Stars.

But the state of this tandem on TV is not what has fellow contestants buzzing. Instead, they're reacting to recent photos that show the pair kissing.

"They might have been auditioning for a new romantic comedy, like Friends with Benefits," Karina Smirnoff joked about the make out session."They're both hot, young single people, so why not?"

Smirnoff, of course, is dating the man with whom she partnered on the series two years ago, Mario Lopez; although each has insisted that romance blossomed after their run on the show was over.

Cristian de la Fuente also doesn't see a problem with the romantic pairing: "When you spend a lot of time with somebody and you have a good relationship, you want to extend that working relationship to the house."

Lastly, let's hear from Mark Ballas, Hough's roommate and bandmate:

"He's single. She's single. Whatever. I think what's great about their relationship is they're really good friends and they get along really well. They have great chemistry."

That sums it up to us.

Following their tirade against the judges Monday night - despite receiving a flurry of 8's - Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth were the subject of harsh words from others associated with Dancing with the Stars last night.

"I think it was a little bit in bad form," Len Goodman said of Hough's reaction. "I learned long ago, ‘Never knock the competition,' but in his defense, he's young, and we all say things in the heat of the moment."

Regarding Elizabeth's flood of tears, Bruno Tonioli added:

"Sometimes you get a little wound up, but the Niagara Falls, we had that when we gave her an eight! If we give her a five, what are you going to get? Commit suicide?! Hari-Kari?! Get over it!"

Even Cristian de la Fuente said of Hough: "He should probably learn to stay quiet. It's one thing to be angry at the judges and another thing to start talking about the other people here."

Did you think Hough and Elizabeth were out of line with their reactions?

Looks like Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth are more than just partners on the dance floor.

The pair were spotted hugging and kissing this week while frolicking at the beach in Malibu. They appear to be following in the romantic footsteps of past Dancing with the Stars contestants, Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez.
