ON NEXT WEEK’S DANCING WITH THE STARS (4/19 & 4/20)

THE FOURTH COUPLE IS ELIMINATED ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS THE RESULTS SHOW," TUESDAY, APRIL 20, ON ABC


Platinum Selling Soul Artist Maxwell Performs his Chart-Topping Single, "Fistful of Tears"

Costa Rican Singing Sensation Debi Nova Performs her Newest Single

Macy's "Stars of Dance" Pays Tribute to Memorable Movie Dances with Choreography
by Marguerite Derricks and a Special Appearance by Debbie Allen

"Episode 1005/1005A" - This week on "Dancing with the Stars," it's movie night, with eight remaining couple doing the Jive, Quickstep, Cha Cha Cha, Tango, Foxtrot and Rumba to iconic songs from famous films such as "Pulp Fiction," "Breakfast Club" and "Risky Business," among others. For the first time this season, the Monday night broadcast will be a 90-minute show, MONDAY, APRIL 19, (8:00-9:30 p.m.,ET), on the ABC Television Network.

On Tuesday, the fourth couple to be eliminated this season will be sent home on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," TUESDAY, APRIL 20 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).

Also this week, Platinum-selling soul star Maxwell will perform his chart-topping single "Fistful of Tears" on Tuesday. The singer/songwriter recently scored a three-peat with "Fistful of Tears," his third consecutive No. 1 on Billboard's Urban Adult airplay charts, making him the first male artist to achieve this feat. Grammy Award winner superstars Maxwell and Jill Scott will kick off their U.S. arena tour on May 21 in Cleveland. Maxwell is catapulting off his two recent Grammy Awards and his No. 1, platinum "BLACKsummers'night" (Columbia), which dominated year-end critics lists. Last fall, Maxwell entered the history books at Billboard when "Pretty Wings" and "Bad Habits," the first two singles from "BLACKsummers'night," monopolized the top two slots on the Adult R&B radio airplay chart.

Costa Rican singing sensation, Debi Nova, will perform her newest single "Drummer Boy," while pros Derek Hough, Damian Whitewood, Tony Dovolani and Dmitry Chaplin accompany her on the dance floor. Her first single was co-written by Nova and produced by Marius de Vries and Dreamlab. Nova is set to release her Spanish/English, hybrid debut album, "Luna Nueva," on Decca/Surco Records this May. Nova has amassed an impressive body of work including six Grammy-nominated projects, a No. 1 single, collaborations with the likes of Black Eyed Peas and Ricky Martin, and touring the world. She has been writing and performing professionally since the age of 14 and signed her first songwriter deal at the age of 17, subsequently penning songs for Latin recording artists Belinda and RBD, Sean Paul, Mark Ronson and her own single, "One Rhythm," which reached No. 1 in Latin America and on the U.S. dance charts. The forthcoming "Luna Nueva," co-produced by Surco Records founder Gustavo Santaoalla (two-time Oscar winner, multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy winner, Juanes, CafŽ Tacvba) and Marius de Vries (five-time Grammy Award nominee, two-time BAFTA winner, Madonna, Josh Groban), is an irresistible hybrid of Latin rhythms and straight-ahead pop.

This week's Macy's "Stars of Dance" performance is "Dance in Movies," a powerful tribute to some of the most memorable dances from films throughout the ages. The performance will be arranged by award-winning choreographer, Marguerite Derricks, who reprises some her famous choreography from "Austin Powers" and "Fame," with a special appearance by Debbie Allen.

Also on Tuesday, "Dancing" alum and comedian Adam Carolla will be back do a comic "between the mirror balls" bit.

KATE GOSSELIN (TLC star) and partner TONY DOVOLANI.

Monday’s Dancing: What You Didn’t See

FRISKY BUSINESS: Recreating Tom Cruise’s iconic underwear scene from Risky Business was, well, risky for Jake Pavelka. He’s jumped into hot tubs on The Bachelor, but dancing the cha cha in undies required baby steps. “I rehearsed for the first time today in underwear and there was about five people,” Pavelka tells PEOPLE. “Then about 20 people, and then for dress rehearsal about 40 people. And then we did it tonight for about 25 million people.” Pavelka’s partner, Chelsie Hightower, “was loving every minute of it,” she says. “I was laughing my head off.” Meanwhile, Derek Hough was impressed: “I love how he just comes out and doesn’t hold back. He just goes for it,” he says. “There’s no way my chicken legs are ever making an appearance on this show!”

GETTIN’ JIGGLY WITH IT: Len Goodman said Niecy Nash needed more bounce in her jive and less in her “bazookas.” But her partner disagrees. “If she didn’t bounce,” Louis van Amstel says, “the top wouldn’t bounce the way they did.” Nash defends her voluptuousness: “If there was a category for best jiggly parts on the leader board I would win. Why? Because I’m the only person in this competition with jiggly parts.” When asked about potential wardrobe malfunctions, Nash says, “I don’t even think about being part of Nipplegate 2010. If I am, I welcome it because … seeing this would be a gift.”

WHAT’S NEXT? During rehearsals, Cheryl Burke felt pressure to make sure her quickstep with Chad Ochocinco was the best it could be. Because of that, she didn’t indulge her partner in any playful banter. “I wanted to get the job done. Our relationship hasn’t changed,” Burke swears. “The ring is still on. I haven’t divorced him!” Burke has been sporting the $10,000 diamond ring her partner gave her earlier this season (he says it’s a thank you for her hard work) on her wedding ring finger. Why there? “This is where he wants it,” Burke says. Actually, Ocho says, “I guessed her ring size and that’s the finger it fit.” What will he give her if they win the competition? “When it happens then you’ll find out,” he says.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT: They can handle getting the lowest scored of the night, but hearing the judges’ harsh comments are another story for Kate Gosselin and Tony Dovolani, who both got visits from their families this week. Bruno called Gosselin was “catatonic” and said Dovolani could have gotten more out of a “frock on a coat hanger.” “It hit me hard tonight that her kids and my kids watch the judges be mean to their parents every week,” Dovolani says. Gosselin says the judges’ reaction “is getting a little bit more difficult for me,” but she’s defiant. “Knock me down as many times as you need to,” she says, “I’ll still get up.”

FAMILY MATTERS: Having loved ones around this week lessened the sting for the pair. “It is amazing to have my wife [Lina] here,” he tells PEOPLE. “Her timing is impeccable. It’s as if she knew I was going to need her this week.” Meanwhile, Gosselin’s eight children also paid a visit. “To have my little chickies under my wings was ridiculously wonderful,” she says. “There was a new bounce in my step to have them close and know that I could feed them breakfast and take them to Disneyland for a little bit. They laughed harder than they have in a long time.”
