Professional dancing is a short-lived career and the long and lean Edyta Sliwinska announced that she will not be returning to "Dancing with the Stars" for season 11. Sliwinska is the professional dancer with the longest tenure on the show--10 seasons since 2005.
Sliwinska posted on her Facebook page, "After 10 seasons I felt like it's time to think about my future. I'm pursuing my education and looking forward to other projects that perhaps you will hear about, but my main goal is to finish my degree and start building a family."
Sliwinska is married to another "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancer, Alec Mazo. Mazo won the first season with soap opera star Kelly Monaco although they lost in the rematch.
"The show will not be there for me forever and I do not want to depend every season on the producer's decision about the next half a year of my life. I want to start building a foundation for the future and I felt that the show was limiting me."
Sliwinska is a student at UCLA, focusing on media and communications studies. Born in Poland, the 29-year-old started dancing classes at age 11. Her partners:
* Season 1: Boxing champion Evander Holyfield. Finished fifth. * Season 2: Actor George Hamilton. Finished fifth. * Season 3: Actor Joey Lawrence. Finished third.
* Season 4: Actor Vincent Pastore was her original partner. He dropped out after a week of training and was replaced by John Ratzenberger. Finished sixth.
* Season 5: Soap opera star Cameron Mathison. Finished fifth. * Season 6: NFL player Jason Taylor. Finished second. * Season 7: Comedian Jeffrey Ross. Finished last. * Season 8: Former NFL player Lawrence Taylor. Finished seventh. * Season 9: Actor Ashley Hamilton (George Hamilton's son). Finished last. * Season 10: Soap opera actor Aiden Turner. Finished ninth.
Jason Taylor and Sliwinska received a perfect score for their quickstep to "The Dirty Boogie."

DEBBIE GIBSON is a woman has lots of talent. She is a singer singer, songwriter and actress also. She turns 40-years-old today.
. Gibson's career in entertainment took of when, at just 17, she became the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a number-one single - she entered the Guinness Book of World Records in 1988 for her song 'Foolish Beat'. As well as being a record-breaking musician, Gibson has also appeared in a number of Broadway musicals, and a variety of independent films.
Despite recording the duet 'Say Goodbye' with JORDAN KNIGHT in 2006 - a song that peaked at number 24 in the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart - Gibson's most prominent recent work amounts to co-starring with LORENZO LAMAS in the low-budget adventure film 'Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus'. After the film's trailer became an Internet sensation in 2009 - getting over one-million hits - the movie was officially released in May of the same year.
Following on from the success of 'Megashark', Gibson is set to appear in a forthcoming original movie entitled, 'Mega Python vs Gatoroid', which is due to be released in 2011. The film - which also stars American singer TIFFANY - will echo the action/sci-fi themes of 'Megashark'.

Sara Rue will briefly appear in the 2006 Mike Judge film Idiocracy, in the role of an attorney general.It’s been eight months since actress Sara Rue became the new spokesperson for Weight loos company Jenny Craig and she’s happy with the results and doesn’t plan on losing anymore weight. Theactresslost 50 pounds, bringing her to a size six from a size 14.
“I’m done losing weight,” she told PEOPLE Magazine in an interview. “I do my workouts five times a week. I work out with my trainer one or two times a week, and we run together. As long as I do cardio for 45 minutes to an hour each day I work out, I feel like I’m okay.”
Rue is now on the maintenance program at Jenny Craig where she works at keeping the weight off. “I don’t my workouts five times a week,” she said.
Even though she’s on a tight exercise regimen, she said she doesn’t allow herself to eat at unhealthy treats. “On the Jenny Craig plan, you can have a glass of wine. So, yeah, I drink wine, I drink champagne.”
Rue got some great feedback from her best friend’s boyfriend. “I hadn’t seen him in months, and he was like, ‘Holy s—t!’ really loudly and he kept staring at me,” she said. “I think he had the best reaction.”
According to E!, the singer-dancer-Idol judge signed a 7-figure contract with CBS that prohibits her from appearing on anything but CBS' version of 'Got to Dance,' including any competition shows on any other network, both broadcast and cable.
The CBS contract is said to be for about five years, and the only way to get around it is for CBS to allow a contract amendment. Abdul and fellow judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson presided over Idol's most successful years. It's still unclear who'll be behind the judges table this season, after Cowell bowed out, Kara DioGuardi got fired, and Ellen DeGeneres left. Rumored new judges include Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.
'Got to Dance,' currently named "Paul Abdul Dance Show," is a new, all-ages, all-genres dance competition fashioned after the hit U.K. show.
E! News is reporting that Carey is currently negotiating her deal, and we all know they have a really good inside source in Ryan Seacrest who hosts both E! News and Idol.
“American Idol” had a solid set of personalities after cutting the fat post season one, however that all changed when producers decided not to renew Paula Abdul’s contract just before the most previous season began. From there, of course, Ellen Degeneres joined the panel.She announced after only one season that she has quit.Rumor also has it that Idol execs have decided to cut Kara DiGuardi from the judges panel as well.
These recent changes were prompted by the resignation of Simon Cowell, and now producers say they are working to put together a group of judges who have chemistry not star power.
However, the names mentioned as possible replacements scream star power.Jennifer Lopez has confirmed she did not accept the offer, and Jessica Simpson is rumored to also be interested.
Randy Jackson is evidently the only judge confirmed for the new season as the other candidates wait for notification.He has been with the show since its start nine seasons ago.If Carey does join Jackson, she won’t be the only person in her family working the reality talent circuit.Mariah’s husband, Nick Cannon, hosts “America’s Got Talent” on
l comply with the order just because if she is under the impression that he’s her husband, she may wish to continue her attempts to contact him.
When Fox’s popular reality TV series “American Idol” returns for its tenth season, viewers are to expect plenty of changes. One change that Fox announced on Thursday is that Nigel Lythgoe will be returning to the show as executive producer, and it appears he wants Paula Abdul to return too.
“I still love Paula,” Nigel said to Variety recently. According to Soraya Roberts at nydailynews.com, Lythgoe – who left “American Idol” to focus on “So You Think You Can Dance” – went on to say: “She’s signed to CBS, probably exclusively, but I’d recommend we have her in a heartbeat.”
Lythgoe – who described “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson as a “barnacle” and confirmed his position on the judging panel – also gave the other rumored judges, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, his support. “If she joins, I’m happy,” he said about J-Lo.
The Goo Goo Dolls have scheduled another Western New York show.The band has a date at the Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 30.Tickets go on sale at noon Sept. 3, and will start at $65.Tickets will be available through.
Ticketmaster.com, by calling 1-800-745-3000 and at all Seneca casino box offices.Want to know how the band's new record sounds? Pop Music Critic Jeff Miers' review of "Something for the Rest of Us" will be in Tuesday's paper. You also can check out Jeff's blog, Miers on Music.
Here's Joseph Popiolkowski's review of the Goo Goo Dolls' show at DarienLake in JulTo be honest, it was my first time seeing a concert at Pier Six, but it won’t be the last. Not only is the venue impressive, but last night the weather matched it, with a cool breeze coming off the water.
Then the bands took the stage and raised the temperature a few notches. The Spill Canvas from Sioux Falls, S.D., was the opener and they played a tight, 30-minute set that included two new songs, "Dust Storm" and "Our Song," and ended with fan favorite "All Over You."
I'll admit that I'm a huge fan of the group and have seen them four or five times in the Baltimore area and each time they seem to get a little better. Touring with Switchfoot and a veteran band like the Goo Goo Dolls definitely agrees with them
Unexpected for me was Switchfoot. I honestly didn’t know a lot about the band and someone had told me going in that I'd recognize two or three songs. The band from San Diego, Calif., was terrific. The group played for 45 minutes and continued the strong pace set by The Spill Canvas. One highlight from Switchfoot was its cover of Tom Petty’s "I Won’t Back Down." It sounded even better than Petty, and the group rocked it out.The Goo Goo Dolls clearly know how to put on a show and the group did not disappoint the huge crowd. I'm not sure the attendance, but it looked close to full. When lead singerJohnny Rzeznik said before the third song the band was going to kick it up a notch, it did with "Slide."
Out promoting a new album, "Something forthe Rest of Us," the group played some of the new material. "Home," and "As I Am," have the potential to be hits. The Goo Goo Dolls didn't leave out some of its biggest hits, either. The band filled the show with "Name," "Iris," "Black Balloon," and closed with "Broadway."Just a great night of music, and the atmosphere could not have been better. “It all sounds very strange to people who’ve never been on a film set.
“There’s a group of people on one side of the camera and it’s all about lighting, angles, sound and getting your lines right.”
