"DANCING WITH THE STARS THE RESULTS SHOW" TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20


Season 13's First Couple Will Be Eliminated on Tuesday

The Troupe Returns to "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show" with Three New Members


"Episode 1301 A + Meet the Cast"-- A live one-hour special, "Dancing with the Stars: Meet the Cast," airing TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network, features the most exciting moments from Monday night's performances, along with commentary from the judges and never-before-seen footage from the teams' first weeks of training. Following the one-hour special will be the Season Premiere of "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show" (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), with musical performances by Harry Connick, Jr. and LMFAO. By evening's end, the first couple of the season will be sent home.

This week, Grammy ® and Emmy® Award winner Harry Connick, Jr. is set to perform "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" from his upcoming Broadway musical by the same title. Electro hip-hop duo LMFAO also hits the stage, performing a medley of "Sexy and I Know it" and "Party Rock Anthem." Both musical acts will be accompanied by "Dancing with the Stars" pros on the dance floor. Tuesday night's musical acts will be the first to perform on the spectacular newly redesigned set that incorporates touches of the original ballroom, but now with three tiers of amphitheatre style balconies and state of the art staircase that moves with the band on a rising platform.

Harry Connick, Jr., one of today's most successful and multi-talented artists, who has garnered acclaim in both the music and acting arenas, takes the stage. In addition to his role in "Dolphin Tale" and a 2011 Emmy win for "Harry Connick Jr. In Concert on Broadway," he returns to Broadway this fall in the revival of the musical "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever." His love of music and performing dates back to his childhood in New Orleans, where he studied piano with such luminaries as James Booker and Ellis Marsalis. He first performed publicly at age 5, appeared on his first recording at age 10 and released his self-titled major label debut for Columbia Records at 19, only a year after his high school graduation and his move to New York City. In the two decades since, he has released more than 20 albums, totaling more than 25 million in sales, and has received numerous music honors, including three Grammy Awards. He made his feature film acting debut in the World War II drama "Memphis Belle." His acting credits also include Jodie Foster's "Little Man Tate"; Jon Amiel's "Copycat"; "Independence Day," with Will Smith; "Hope Floats," opposite Sandra Bullock; "Mickey," written by John Grisham; William Friedkin's "Bug"; Richard LaGravenese's "P.S. I Love You," with Hilary Swank; and "New in Town," opposite RenŽe Zellweger. On the small screen, Connick starred in the ABC presentation of the musical "South Pacific" and played the recurring role of Grace's love interest, Dr. Leo Markus, on the hit NBC series "Will & Grace." In addition, he won Emmy Awards for the PBS Great Performances concert specials "Harry Connick, Jr: Only You," and most recently for "Harry Connick, Jr. In Concert on Broadway." In 2006, Connick made his Broadway acting debut in the Tony Award-winning revival of "The Pajama Game," earning nominations for Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics



Circle and Drama League Awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical. He had earlier received a Tony nomination for Best Original Score for the 2001 musical "Thou Shalt Not." In summer 2010, he performed in concert on Broadway, in a sold-out limited engagement at the Neil Simon Theatre.

LMFAO, the Grammy-nominated electro hip-hop duo of Redfoo and Sky Blu, perform a medley that includes Billboard Magazine's 2011 song of the summer, "Party Rock Anthem!" The track held the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 100 Singles chart for 8 weeks in a row, and had the world shuffling as it topped the charts in 15 other countries. The duo's sophomore set "Sorry for Party Rocking," was released in June on Party Rock/will.i.am/Cherrytree/Interscope Records, where it debuted at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. LMFAO first got the party started with the release of their 2009 debut album, "Party Rock," which included the singles "I'm in Miami Bitch," "Shots feat. Lil Jon" and "Yes," and was nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, where the duo successfully -- and hilariously -- hosted the pre-tel awards ceremony.

NEXT WEEK ON DANCING WITH THE STARS (9/26 & 27)

ELEVEN REMAINING COUPLES HIT THE BALLROOM FOR THEIR
SECOND COMPETITIVE DANCE, ON ABC'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS"

Season's First "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance is Created by
Emmy ®Award-winning Marguerite Derricks on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show"

Pop Sensation Demi Lovato and Irish Band The Script Perform

"Episode 1302 & 1302A" -- Following last week's electrifying season 13 premiere, the eleven remaining couples hit the ballroom floor for the second time, performing either the Jive or the Quickstep, on this week's "Dancing with the Stars," MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on ABC.

On TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," musical guest Demi Lovato returns to the ballroom to perform the hit single "Skyscraper" from her latest album, "Unbroken," in a number choreographed by Emmy Award winner Wade Robson. The Script also grace the stage with a stellar live performance of their platinum selling hit single, "For the First Time," off their sophomore album "Science & Faith," and will be accompanied by "DWTS" returning pros Dmitry Chaplin and Chelsie Hightower. Also featured this week is the first "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance of the season, with a number created by Emmy (r)Award-winning choreographer Marguerite Derricks, a piece inspired by the legendary Busby Berkeley. In addition, all nine male "DWTS" pros and troupe members will perform a thrilling number.

In the last few months Demi Lovato has been on fire. She's hit the studio with an all-star list of collaborators including Timbaland, Jason Derulo, Ryan Tedder and Missy Elliot; the first single off "Unbroken," "Skyscraper," debuted at #1 on iTunes chart, #2 on the Billboard's Hot Digital Singles chart, and #10 on the Billboard's Hot 100. The singer and actress started in show business as a pre-teen and rose quickly. By the time she was 15 she was a bona fide TV star cultivating a promising singing career. In the late 2000s, while maintaining a rigorous TV and film shooting schedule, Lovato released two massively successful solo albums, "Don't Forget" (2007) and "Here We Go Again" (2009); the former debuted at #2, the latter at #1. Her third solo LP, "Unbroken," released September 20, 2011, showcases a collection of tracks that reveal a young woman with enough real life experience to appreciate the value of letting loose and enjoying herself. The songs run the gamut from epic ballad to cheeky pop power anthems. With the release of "Unbroken," Lovato is focused on her immediate future and enjoying all that's available to her, now that she's back at the top of her game. The lead single, "Skyscraper," has already reestablished her as a force to be reckoned with on the charts.

Hot off the heels of a #3 debut with their recent studio album, "Science & Faith," and currently touring the U.S. on a string of sold out dates, The Script clearly have no plans to slow down. It's been a rags to riches glory ride, an emotional rollercoaster, an all action, all-star blockbuster. Three young Dubliners, Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power, took on the world with music fashioned from the emotional detritus of their own hard lives, raised up by a love of pop, rock, hip hop and soul. In two years they've notched up a handful of hit singles around the world, including "Breakeven," "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "We Cry." Their 2008 self-titled debut album, "The Script," went to #1 in the UK and Ireland, with more than 2 million in sales worldwide. They've played stadium shows with music heroes U2 and Sir Paul McCartney, and to cap it all, "Breakeven" -- which has already sold over 2 million downloads in the U.S alone -- rewrote history here in America on Billboard's Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart to take the #1 spot, where the song completed a record-setting 36-week rise to the summit.

By evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the eleven couples will be the second team to leave?
