Our Las Vegas celebrity contestants will all return for next week’s second week of Dancing With the Stars, and The Lion King cast from Mandalay Bay simply dazzled the studio audience into a standing ovation. That should boost box office ticket sales here tomorrow morning!

SPOILER ALERT: Please do not read any further if you want to get the full surprise and drama of watching the West Coast tape-delayed broadcast of ABC’s top-rated Dancing With the Stars. But come back after the show to compare notes with us!

Both UFC champion Chuck Liddell and Flamingo headliner Donny Osmond will return next week because, as we predicted, George and Alana Hamilton’s son Ashley Hamilton was booted from the show.

Miley Cyrus, who is appearing here at Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday night, premiered her new music video as part of the night’s surprises.

It came right down to the wire, but our Las Vegas regular Kelly Osbourne along with supermodel Kathy Ireland -- much to Elizabeth Taylor’s joy -- were declared safe to return next week.

That meant one lady was left to exit, and, as predicted, she paid the price, as judges and viewers said goodbye to Macy Gray for last night’s outburst! Rumors backstage said it’s exactly what she wanted because she’d lost interest in continuing.

Our full photo report will be posted here at Vegas DeLuxe tomorrow, so be sure to check back for the full dance floor action!
