Elisabetta Canalis Dismissed from 'Dancing With the Stars'


Italian actress who has a romantic George Clooney made his last dance on "Dancing with the Stars."

Elisabetta Canalis has been removed from the competition television dance on Tuesday, despite her third place in the episode on Monday.

She and professional partner, Val Chmerkovskiy earned 21 points out of 30 for their quickstep routine - six point improvement over their debut dance. But the fans could not keep a pair in the competition.

"For me, it was a gift every day staying here. It was a great adventure," Canalis said after learning her fate. "I want to thank everybody because they made me come here. Thanks to the public and to everybody who voted for us. Now I am really nervous, but thank you anyway. It was a great experience."

Canalis has earned mixed reviews for her routine Monday. Head Judge Len Goodman said the dance was "not great, but it's better than last week," while fellow judge Carrie Ann Inaba told a couple, "You nailed it."

Judges' scores combined with viewer votes to determine which celebrity is displaced every week. Basketball star Ron Artest, now known as Metta world peace, was bounced off the ball last week.

Perhaps the most relieved to return to Chase Bono was who came to the scene on Tuesday with the lowest score. He said Tuesday that he was "totally nervous" about the results and hoped that he performed well enough to continue in the competition.

"I did the best I could," he said.
He collected 17 points Monday for a quickstep routine that judges said was just too slow.
"The bottom line is it's a quickstep and I've moved faster through the car wash," Goodman said.
Also still in the ballroom next week will be a reality star Rob Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari, TV Ricki Lake, Carson Kressley and Nancy Grace, actor David Arquette, and John R. Martinez, singer Chynna Phillips and soccer star Hope Solo.

The episode on Tuesday also included musical performances and Demi Lovato rock group Script.
