Donny Osmond’s new Dancing With the Stars professional partner Kym Johnson was a surprise visitor to last night’s Donny & Marie variety show at the Flamingo.

Naturally, Kym was introduced to the audience and then dragged onstage in a bid to settle once and for all the dance-off rivalry between the brother and sister entertainers!

Kym promptly gave Marie a 10 and said she was fantastic. Then she turned to Donny, and while the fans eagerly awaited her ruling, she told them that he’s already successfully completed 10 hours of tough practices and dance rehearsals for Season 9, which kicks off next month.

With that, she handed him a 10, too, and diplomatically it means they are still tied!

In eight seasons of DWTS, Kym’s best results have been as runner-up twice, in Season 4 with Joey Fatone and Season 7 with Warren Sapp.

Click back to Vegas DeLuxe tomorrow for the hoped-for first dance rehearsal photos of Donny and Kym, and also of Las Vegas regular Kelly Osborne.
